FIFA 2026 World Cup/Ticket Discussion Thread.

We can say that Mexico have secured their place in the last 16 by beating South Korea. With this victory, they have secured their second win in their second group match and are likely to finish top of the group. I don’t think Mexico will lose to the Czech Republic, but it looks as though the match will most likely end in a draw. The Czech Republic absolutely must win the match, but we can’t really say they have the strength to do so.

Mexico is in a very secure and comfortable position right now, having secured two consecutive wins, particularly after narrowly defeating South Korea 1-0. This puts them in a strong position to finish as group champions, but they must continue to maintain their performance.

In their next match against the Czech, we know Mexico is the favorite and their chances of winning are certainly higher, but often in high pressure situations like this, upsets are not uncommon. Perhaps the Czech squad will play more aggressively from the start of the match, rather than just sitting back on defense. Personally, i predict this match will be more intense than we might imagine.

Canada-Qatar match was a high-scoring affair for Canada. Qatar, however, played a somewhat rough style of football. Ismael Kone's broken leg doesn't necessarily reflect this roughness, because in that incident, Qatari player Madibo didn't intentionally make a hard tackle, but Kone's leg was broken. Madibo received a red card but couldn't hold back his tears. Canada beat Qatar 6-0. Qatar, along with Bosnia and Herzegovina, has an equal chance in the best third-placed teams category. The Qatar-Bosnia and Herzegovina match will be a crucial final for both teams.

Qatar national football team performance was very poor in this match because they could not defend in this match and their defense was very weak in this match. David was a person who did back to back 3 goals in this match and he did his  first goal at 29 minutes when it was need of the team and after few minutes he did goal at 48 minutes and team score was good in this match and team performance was great in this match. The shots of Canada men's national soccer team were more and their gave their full effort to win this match and they were winner of this match at the end. David did his last goal at 92 minutes when it was almost end of the match and team was dominant in this match.

Dr Congo gets a point against Portugal in their WC opener. In the first half J.Neves scored an early header in the 6th minute and gave Portugal a lead . 80% possession and only 2 shots in the first half by Portugal. In the dying minutes of the first half Dr Congo scored an equalizer in the 45+5 by Wissa despite  20% possession they created 1 big chance and scored  a total of 6 shots in the first half. In the second half again Portugal kept 69% possession, 0.58xG, 1 big chance created and a total of 5 shots but didn't get what they wanted. J. Neves was named as player of the match for Portugal.

It was a very proud match for the Democratic Republic of the Congo national team, who managed to hold Portugal to a draw in the 90 minutes. For the Democratic Republic of the Congo, ranked 43rd in the world, holding Portugal to a draw in the World Cup was a very proud achievement. Their defense line in my opinion was very good, they tightly closed Cristiano Ronaldo movement so that his movement space was completely locked. Several passes from the right side failed to be utilized by Ronaldo due to very tight marking. Although on social media, many discussed the lack of support from the Portugal midfielder for Ronaldo so that Ronaldo failed to score when facing the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

But in my opinion in that match it was indeed very difficult to break down the defense of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, they were very disciplined in guarding the area so that the Portuguese midfielders failed to pass the ball. The score of 1-1 for that match in my opinion was very fair. Portugal must work harder to be able to qualify for the next round.

It seems we'll see more hat-tricks in this World Cup. It was an unforgettable match for Canada. Qatar finished the game with nine players after receiving two red cards. Canada seized this opportunity and scored a whopping six goals against their opponents. I think it was one of the most lopsided matches of the World Cup. Of course, there was also Germany's 7-1 victory against Curaçao.

The USA beat Australia 2-0 and advanced to the next round with 6 points. Now, in 6 hours, Türkiye will play against Paraguay. Whichever team wins will have a chance to advance. I hope Turkey wins, because we have a young and dynamic squad. This generation deserves to reach higher rounds.

[SuperBitMan]

US are doing very well in this World Cup I don’t know if it is because they are part of the countries hosting the World Cup that is why they are playing more better like this, well believe that is the reason, they have more fans supporting them in the stadium and the spirit to put a smile in the face of their country are in all the players they are playing this matches with determination to win. They have no fear in them. All the players are  putting in their best and they are getting the results, wonderful performance from them today. I expected them to win but I expected Australia to have at least a goal it is disappointing that they could not score because the US defense is very strong and even attacking players were joining in the defense duty, congratulations to USA.

Being a home team has probably been an advantage in the group stages in most World Cups? I don't know the data concerning that question, but I think it was that way. Beating Australia is not a miracle. Beating Paraguay 4-1 was a statement because they did it without any luck. Every single statistic category was theirs and the win was the result. Now nobody can tell how far the home advantage will carry them.

Mexico as another host got lucky yesterday for sure if you see what the goalkeeper did of South Korea. 

Canada is one more host and they had the craziest match of this world cup so far. Red cards, a broken leg, 6 goals, but this wasn't normal and it will become more clear when they have to beat the other teams that advance from their groups.

The news is that Qatar player Madibo after the match was over went into the Canadian dressing room to apologize for the incident because he won unintentionally, although those of us who watched the match Qatar's game was rough, I don't know why he did it could be due to high pressure frustration.
Qatar vs Bosnia? I think Qatar will have no chance of winning, Bosnia here is more favored, although we never know when surprises come.

All the three host countries are doing great work in the world cup except Canada. From the circumstances surrounding Canada National Team after the first match, I don't think they will scale through the second second stage of the world cup. USA has won all their matches and likewise Mexico. All my prediction yesterday and today are entering.

It's half time already and Morocco is actually playing quite a brilliant game against Scotland tonight, having the most ball possessions of over 67% and likewise currently winning against Scotland with 1 goal to nil, of which was scored at 2 minutes into the start of the match by Ishmael Saibari, and assisted by Ibrahim Diaz. And at it stands now, judging by the fact how Morocco drew their last match against Brazil, which ended a draw with both team scoring 1 goal each. So when it comes to tonights game, I'm 100% sure that Morocco is winning this game with the presence of Ibrahim Diaz.

In Group A, Mexico defeated South Korea 1-0 and advanced to the next round with 6 points. South Africa and Czech Republic drew 1-1, both earning one point. Mexico will play Czech Republic in their final matches, and I don't think Mexico will lose. Czech Republic will finish the group with at least 2 points. South Korea will also beat South Africa and advance to the next round with 6 points. The situation in this group seems somewhat clear. I don't think the best third-placed team will advance from this group.

Mexico became the first team of 2026 WC to  qualify for the knockout stage after beating Korea in WC matdatchday 2. Overall South Korea dominated with 58% possession they covered 104 km distance in the whole game 3 big chances created and missed, 0.91xG and 9 total shots. On the other hand Mexico with 42% possession covered 105 km distance , 0.53xG 2 big chances created and 8 total shots. Breakthrough came in the 50th minute when Romo scored the goal for Mexico. And he was named as player of the match. Mexico won it by 1-0.

Is there such a thing as being at home in the World Cup? Technically we can assume that the host nations being USA, Mexico and Canada are the home teams here but, being a home team really goes ahead more than that. It’s got to be the stadiums you’re most familiar with, the grounds you play on and how the ball and pitch feels when you train at certain spots. I don’t think that’s the case with these teams and at most, they get the fan base advantage. Other than these, they aren’t getting so much but, it’s being a boost of confidence for them being the host nations and we can see that in how determined they are about winning.

Paraguay beat us 1-0 with a goal in the 2nd minute, keeping their chances of advancing alive. We were eliminated with 30 days left in the tournament. We will play against the USA in the last match, and the USA will beat us convincingly. We haven't scored a single goal in the tournament yet. We were eliminated early from a tournament we came to with great hopes. In this match, Paraguay played with 10 men for 45 minutes. The USA scored goals against a Paraguay team with 10 men, while we couldn't even score a single goal.

Unfortunately, Turkey lost quickly to the United States. The United States scored a goal just two minutes into the match. Turkey is currently bottom of the group standings, making it difficult for them to advance to the next round. I also hope Turkey wins and advances to the next round so they can compete with other teams after the group stage is over.
