FIFA 2026 World Cup/Ticket Discussion Thread.

Mexico and Ecuador will face off in the Round of 32. Their last match, played about 8 months ago, ended in a 1-1 draw. Of course, we mustn’t forget that this was a friendly match. Now, it looks likely to be a much tougher contest. I think Mexico has a slight edge. In terms of squad quality, I’d say they play better as a team and have the potential to win the match. Even though Ecuador’s squad is valued higher, I don’t think the winner of the match will be determined by that.

Mexico national football team is favorite in this match because their recent performance is on the record And players are super fit and they always try to win the match for the team. Mexico national football team won 5 out of 5 matches which is looking like great performance by that team and opponent team could win only 3 matches out of 5 matches and 1 match ended with draw result and one match lost by that team. The head to head record of both teams is looking equal because no team could win any match and Mexico national football team should try to win at least one match but score was equal in both games Ecuador national football team is a weak team because players have good temperament.

I am wondering if Brazil could play the final game or not. Until now they passed Japan with a way or another. Next they will face Norway or Ivory Coast, these two teams should not be a big problem for Brazil. Later they will face Mexico or England. If they managed to pass the winner among these two teams, they would face Argentina most likely in the semi-final. Honestly I find Argentina way better than Brazil.

It’s hard to predict whether they’ll actually face Argentina in the semifinals, because we know how dominant Argentina is with its tight-knit squad. For now, Brazil has to overcome many hurdles first the first of which is definitely the match against Norway. Don’t underestimate this opponent, though; Haaland’s team could very well turn out to be the dark horse later on.

For now we can't determine if the two will meet because they will need to win all the games ahead and progress to that semi finals before facing each other, there are so many things that could go wrong in their games in the round of 16 and quarter finals so let's wait and see how it goes but if they actually made it pass the round of 16 and quarter finals then for sure they are drawn to play each other but with the level of football Brazil is playing now, am certain as Argentina will win them.

Now they will be facing Norway and it's quite tough one for them, like they luckily escaped Japan and as we all can see Norway is not in bad form, so it will definitely gonna be a tough one for them, but never the Less I'm still rooting for Brazil to win that game despite what Brazil still have a higher chance of winning than Norway, yes it's going to be one heck of a game but at last Brazil will definitely win them, maybe Brazil fate will be decided by the time they meet with Argentina, that will be when I can't really predict their outcome, because they've faced themselves several times and most at times Argentina always came out victorious.

Brazil isn't playing well. Argentina will easily beat them. In past years, matches between Brazil and Argentina were always a great source of enjoyment. However, in recent years, these two teams have fallen behind some European teams. For example, France and England have individually better players than these national teams. I'm curious to see how far Argentina and Brazil will go in the tournament, but I hope they get matched against each other and give us an enjoyable game.

I thought about betting on France today, but the 1x2 odds are only 1.27
The odds for them to qualify are just 1.12 

Obviously, France has a great chance, but 1.12? According to the odds, it’s an impossible task for Sweden
Upsets can happen, can you imagine if another one happens today?
Germany and the Netherlands were heavy favorites...

Actually, in football, I always say that sometimes the impossible can become possible and the possible can become impossible, so even though France is the strongest team, there is no guarantee that they will not lose to Sweden. But yes, because they are strong, their chances of winning are much higher. And I also think that all the things shouldn't measure by the sports bookies odds.

Although  we saw that Germany lose against the paragraph team even then on the penalty. Where we didn't expected the Germany will going to lose this match  we thought that day will be able to the perform in the net round.

This World Cup is very difficult to predict, especially in the Round of 32. Favorites like Germany and the Netherlands suffered surprising defeats. Even Brazil was nearly forced into extra time by Japan, but fortunately Brazil scored a goal in the final minutes. I mean, let's not be fooled by the odds offered by bookmakers, who predict a near-100% win for the team.

France is currently heavily favored, with the odds offered at only 1.27. However, any team already in the knockout stages will be difficult to beat, even if they are underdogs, due to the same spirit and motivation for victory. Learning from the Germany-Netherlands match, I would bet on under 3 goals in this match rather than backing France's victory, which offers a very small odds of only 1.27.

It’s not worth it for odds of 1.12, but Sweden simply isn't strong enough. France even hit the post in the first half and missed several chances.
They found the net through Mbappé, but the gap is likely to widen further.
By the way, regarding the Morocco vs. Netherlands match—Netherlands wasn't the favorite; Morocco was. And Morocco was the one that advanced.
I was surprised by Germany, too.

[Jossque]

France managed to secure an easy victory over Sweden. After taking the lead through Kylian Mbappé toward the end of the first half, France increased its pressure in the second half and went on to defeat its opponent 3-0. France took 25 shots throughout the match and could have scored more goals, but Sweden’s goalkeeper wouldn’t let them. Mbappé finished the match with two goals, while Michael Olise contributed two assists. France truly looks like a contender to win the World Cup this season.

In my case, I waited for the game to start and then, when I saw that the odds had risen significantly to @1.40, I immediately bet on France to win. I included them in my parlay bet along with Spain, England, the United States, and Argentina. This way, the total odds exceeded @3.00, which I consider decent odds. If I win the remaining games, I could make a good profit. After winning my bet on France yesterday, today it's England's turn to play against Congo, with odds of @1.28 in favor of England. I hope I win my bet because then there will only be 4 games left. I don't have much confidence in England and the USA, but I still included them in my parlay bet.

Even if Germany had made it past this round, they had no chance of going any further; the football they played was very poor.
Germany will undergo a rebuilding process after this tournament. I believe Nagelsmann will step down as head coach.
I would also like to point out that the goal Germany scored through Tah during extra time was a legitimate one. In my opinion, there was no foul on the goalkeeper; he went down too easily, looking to draw a foul, and he succeeded in doing so.

Paraguay shocked Germany and now Paraguay is in RO16. As the match started Germany put pressure on Paraguay 76% 1.57xG, 2 big chances created and 21 shots. On the other hand Paraguay with 24% possession created 3 big chances,0.35xG and 7 shots. In the end minutes of the first half Enciso struck for Paraguay in the 42nd minute. Kai Havertz equalized in the 54th minute. The match goes to extra time but Germany didn't get what they wanted. On penalties Paraguay was doing the perfect job they scored all of the first 3 and Germany scored only 1 in their first 3 . Then Germany scored the last 2 and Paraguay missed both on running penalties Tah missed but Paraguay scored and in this dramatic way Paraguay advanced to the next stage. Gill was named as player of the match for Paraguay.

[Agbe]

England vs DR Congo In this match, England is not a guarantee team to win so be careful with your predictions. The world cup is not a friendly one for gamblers.

Belgium vs Senegal. Senegal is my favorite in this match. Senegal list two matches and win one with a very big number and they will fight hard to win this match to qualify in the Ro16.

Whether Germany is now out or would have been humiliated by France makes no real difference.

I know that some people thought Germany would have a chance, but I don't like them anymore. They are not the same anymore and it was anticipated that they would get trouble against weaker teams like Paraguay after they lost against Ecuador and it wasn't their great performance but luck that they beat Ivory Coast.

The results they had at this WC all pointed to an early ending for them.

[GIF-JOBS]

The game started unexpectedly DR Congo scored a goal first, in just 7 minutes, but even if it started unexpectedly England will definitely win the match, they will definitely not lose the match like this. However, it must be admitted that DR Congo's defense is good and since they have secured a 1 goal lead early on, they will try to play more defensively now, but I hope England will score before the end of the first half. I am just waiting for England to score now, they will definitely not be 1 goal behind for long, they will equalize very quickly.

I was surprised to see B. K. Cipenga scored the first goal in the 7 minutes of the match. I predicted England to scored first. It is not only to score first but the final whistle and the result will tell us who wins the match.

First half went poorly for England. The Democratic Republic of the Congo finished the first half leading 1-0, though they also hit the woodwork.
That shot rebounding off the post could prove to be the turning point of the match.
England was fortunate to be saved by the woodwork at that moment.
I expect England to make a substitution in the second half.
If the score isn't leveled at 1-1 early on, England will find itself on the verge of elimination.
We will have to wait and see if England can turn the match around, just as Brazil did.
