It was very disappointing to see Chile losing to Bolivia in the south america world cup qualifier rounds, Chile had a squad full of stars but Bolivia was the most threatening side in the whole match. If Chile does not improve their teamwork in the next match against Ecuador, they might not be able to qualify for world cup 2018 held in Russia.
when the winning results was mandatory but Argentina failed and they're playing less of goals even in my country there is a news that Messi is the main cause why Argentina cannot win however maybe it's time to Argentina not too rely on Messi if Argentina failed goes to world cup i think that would be the biggest failed in the history
it is a really disappointing result for the Argentine fans. day by day thier qualification for the world cup is getting difficult. if Chili won the then it will be more trouble for them. I think Argentina needs a great leader in this situation. Messi is a great player but he is not a good leader as well as a good influencing person among the team. so in spite of a good side, they are able to win against in this situation.

the problem in Argentina not the focusing on Messi play or something like that , the problem is finding the teammate that should played , i think if they play without messi they could win that's my opinion
For me, the best game for today will be Colombia v Brazil. Brazil is in amazing form, and if we ignore friendlies, they com to this game with a 9 winning streak. I really think Brazil will win this one, even though they don't really need it since they have already qualified. I also don't expect to many goals, so I will risk under 2.5 goals as well.
brazil meet colombia is not important match, because is ready get ticket to world cup
playing in home and need point, i think colombia minimum can get one point,thi mean minimum result draw
i hope colombia can win, because colombia squad high quality too, not big difference with brazil squad
I know it wasn't an important match for Brazil, but it could be for Colombia, as they could lose second place with a draw or a loss. I was still looking for a win from Brazil, but it ended as a draw as you said. At least I was right about the under 2.5.
The only team that continues to disappoint me is Argentina. They just had to to more than they did. I think Venuzuela can be a hard team to beat when their defense is working, but they should be no match for Argentina, specially when playing at home. They need to turn their game around, it would be a shame to see a World Cup without Argentina and Messi :/
Yep Colombia success hold Brazil on that match and the final result is 1-1 draw, actually Neymar also played on that match. Argentina really piss me off, they even have big possession on that match against Venezuela. It's not about Venezuela is a hard defense team but Argentina players are sucks and so hard to make a goal.

The Germany machine looks very good. They one of my favourites to win the world cup!
It looks easy when they play against weaker teams but when the real test comes i donot think tthey will show this kind of fire power, but I fancy Spain winning this one if all goes well

Brazil is nothing more than individual briliance but they will still be fancied for their past performance but I wouldnt write off Colombia that easily 
In group A France is on top with 1 point difference from Sweden but i believe France will qualify.
In group B Switzerland is on top with 3 point difference from Portugal wich make it so hard for the two teams.
Group C Germany is will easely qualify they are theworld champions.
Serbia, England, Poland and Spain are almost qualified.
It still some comperition in group I between Croatia, Iceland and Turkey but i think it's gonna be Croatia.
It still 2 rounds to play so let's wait and see.

Thousand to qualify for the Belgian national team
Belgium's existence is a win for the World Cup
Despite Belgium's arrival in the final quarter-finals of the last World Cup and a quarter-final euro, it did not provide the hope and expected of them
Now Belgium has a coach and a better technician than the previous one wait and see where they will reach the World Cup?

Well done to Syria for reaching the playoffs, what a game! Some feat achieved for a country who's played all their matches away from home, in conditions sometimes worst than a League 2 team in many countries (I recall lost buses, missing clothes and changing schedules when they were in Malaysia). Not to mention the terrible war which has killed so many footballers from this proud nation.
They still have to beat Australia to qualify but with so much at stake and a crazy horde of supporters, I won't be surprised if they just about slip through! Betfair's the only bookie with odds on this game (Syria at 12/5 now) and seems even they think the underdogs have a reasonable chance.

Spain and Italy won, Spain as usual played extraordinary and managed to win by scoring eight goals and not conceded one goal. While Italy still has not amazed me anymore. Just winning 1-O against Israel is not the achievement that should be achieved by Italy.
For Spain and Italy this was the easiest group to be in. Both will be qualified, one directly and the other team with play offs. All other teams of this group are teams of very low quality compared to Spain and Italy.
Meanwhile I think Serbia is already qualified as they are 4 points ahead already and they will play last game at home against Georgia, they need a win here in order to be qualified or even a draw depending how other games end,so I consider them already qualified.

Serbia is very close to the Russia! We had played with 10 players since 68. minute. I was literally shaking till the end. I am very happy now! We've won probably the most important match in our whole football history.
Looking forward to the October matches!

A big surprise France drew with Luxembourg
I did not know the reason for the tie
But as a result is a very big surprise
damn! i lost my money from this match! I think team France is very bad in this match, can only draw against unfavorable teams. really a surprise for the gambler I did not know the reason for the tie
But as a result is a very big surprise
Actually, these "surprises" happen often enough in football. The odds of a draw were 40/1 so roughly, you can expect these kind of match-ups to end up in a draw perhaps once every 40 games
That's why you don't bet for straight outcomes on these kinds of heavy favourite matches. What you want to bet on is other options... shots on target? Corners? Straights on the favourites are very poor value anyway at less than 1/10 but they do make good options for parlay multipliers. Germany thrashed Norway to stay top of Group C and maintain their 100% record in World Cup 2018 qualifying.
The Germany machine looks very good. They one of my favourites to win the world cup!
if they continue playing like this for sure they have this great advantage to win the cup just wondering how to read the advantage of certain teamsThe Germany machine looks very good. They one of my favourites to win the world cup!
soccer really a game of good knowledge and skills and the advantage is a good coaches.
