Don't know about the others, but I find it really weird to see Canada topping the CONCACAF qualifying group Grin
They haven't played in a single World Cup since I've been born and now they are in front of both USA and Mexico and have been playing superbly throughout the qualifiers as well.
They have confirmed their qualification with style - beating Jamaica 4-0.

I really like 2 of their main players - Davies and David. I barely know any others though - on paper they do look like a really weak team. Still - these results mean that they are well organized and maybe they will score their first goal ever in a World cup tournament in Qatar.

Playing in Beşiktaş football club, Atiba and Larin are playing in the Canadian national team. Despite his advanced age, Atiba is a successful midfielder who has gained the appreciation of everyone. He will probably be 40 years old in the tournament. Larin is a successful wing forward who stands out with his strong physique. He can shine in the tournament. They will add color to the tournament.

Many see the Swedes as favourites, but I think the odds are about the same.  Looking at the personal meetings between these teams, Poland have not beaten Sweden since 1991. In the modern phase, they have hardly ever met, except for the European Championships last year. I think Sweden will win again today, but it could be a draw.

Compared to the Portugal vs North Macedonia match, I think the Poland vs Sweden match is much more interesting, because as you said both teams
have almost the same strength. So I think both have the same chance, then it is a little difficult to predict the outcome of the Poland vs Sweden match.
Another interesting thing is that both teams have attackers who are quite influential in their respective teams. In which Poland was strengthened
by Robert Lewandowski who we all know was very productive with Bayern, while Sweden has Zlatan Ibrahimovic who is very experienced because
he is 40 years old. Sweden does have a winning record in the last 4 meetings against Poland, so it is not surprising if Sweden won again. I also bet
for Sweden's victory, because I see the strength of the Swedish squad is more evenly in all positions, so I think Sweden will beat Poland by one goal
difference.

BTW if Poland and Portugal lose, do they have no other way to go to the world cup?
No, that's their last and only chance. As seconds in their groups (Portugal behind Serbia and Poland behind England) they are now in the play-offs for the last remaining spots for the European teams.

Interesting outcome indeed! Canada won most games against the weaker teams and managed not to lose against Mexico and USA! Well deserved qualification, I am looking forward to their performance in the World Cup! Technically the USA can still overtake them in the ranking, but this would be without any effect for the qualification.

A dice bet on 1.01 is "safer" to me than a football bet on 1.01 or any sports actually. OR even 1.1x on dice you are for sure getting a chance of almost 90% to win, whereas in football these 1.1x odds are never 9 out of 10 games, just always a draw to kill you when you least expect it. Which is why I never go below 1.5x in football (where even that is not easy).

Yes, that's true. I noticed that at extremely low odds (as well as at extremely high odds), the "honesty" of the results is lost. This is probably because many betters like "reliable" bets and bookmakers give unfairly low odds - that is, instead of 1.1 they give 1.05, etc. The same happens at extremely high odds - instead of 70, bookmakers give only 50, and so on. Really fair odds with fair bookmaker margins can only be found in the middle range.

Absolutely I think you just used the right word here with "honesty". And in the same way if I see a game with very high odds (comparative to what is used to be the case for the same team) then the odds are being completely dishonest about chances, and rather reflecting where peple are putting the money.

For example if you see some odds are the exact same capped at 100x. 7-7 and 5-5, so of course 7-7 should be harder. So never make that bet unless you get "honest" odds!

Yes, the chances are the same I don't see any of them being favorites but I personally prefer Poland the reason is of course because of Robert Lewandowski
I believe Lewandowski can help his country move to the next stage, After looking at the gambling market it seems that I am not alone bookies slightly favor Poland
Poland @2.45 vs Sweden @3.10 odds may change before the match starts it depends on the total bet entered.
Yes, exactly. Lewandowski can make the difference here. Without him, Sweden is stronger. But if he scores a goal or two, Poland can go through without big problems. Odds for qualification are Poland @1.68 and Sweden @2.05. If you are convinced that Sweden will make it, than those are good quotes to put your money on.

Lewandowski scores a goal pays 2.1 btw

Of course I won't miss it for now I have 2 betting options Both teams to score and Lewandowski scores a goal, what makes me believe in Lewandowski is this is their chance
He has something in common with Ronaldo will try his best to score goals we do not doubt his capacity as the top scorer, if there are no obstacles he will definitely score.
BTW if Poland and Portugal lose, do they have no other way to go to the world cup?

yeah, you can put either Lewandowski to score, or Sweden to qualify
it is hard to expect Poland to qualify, without Lewa scoring at least one goal

Portugal is absolute favorite against North Macedonia, but I will cheer for my neighbors to go through, and qualify for Qatar

FT: Canada 4-0 Jamaica
Even though the score could have been worse, 4-0 is not bad! Canada is making the World Cup for the first time in 36 years. They are most certainly the best team in North America at the moment! As well as supporting Germany, I will be supporting Canada as well. Jamaica basically handed the game to Canada. Football is not Jamaica's calling, they should stick with selling weed.

Two days left for the final round of the playoffs. And there is going to be a Portugal - North Macedonia matchup then. I really didn't give any chance to North Macedonia to reach this level like most people. But they are here for real. Portugal will need to act really carefully against them to eliminate them nice and easy. Normally, the strength gap between these teams is huge. Portugal shouldn't make the same mistake that Italy did and finish their job in the first half already.


The play-off match between Portugal vs North Macedonia, of course, observers want a surprise like what happened in the previous match when they frustrate the Italian resistance, but what they are facing now is Portugal which is an Italian singer, but in this match maybe Portugal will not give the line flexibility.the middle of Macedonia to break through Jose Fonte's defence.and I'm very confident that Portugal will qualify for the Qatar World Cup this season, because Italy's defeat was a lucky factor for Macedonia but not in the next match
If the Portuguese coach can make a scenario as before, then the Portuguese opportunity to escape Samgat is open, Ronaldo is installed not only to be the target of the men, but more playing freely, so North Macedonia will escort Ronaldo in every match, while Pamain Portugal can hold the ball and supply To the forward to score, but the opponent coach will also prepare a strategy to break it, the surprise from North Macedonia also needs to be watched out by Portugal, because the class of the Italian team can they lose, it is not impossible that they will do this to Portugal

But if North Macedonia can win this, at least it will be a big history for him. How not, North Macedonia can beat big teams like Italy and Portugal and it would be a big surprise if it actually happened. If you look at the quality on paper, it is at least the same as what Italy had before, but in the end who can think North Macedonia can beat Italy at the end of the match, but for Portugal of course they will learn more from what happened in Italy and Portugal will certainly anticipate this.

South Korea did it in 2002 beat strong teams including Portugal, Italy and Spain no one expected South Korea to go to the semi-final history records it
There is no guarantee that North Macedonia will lose against Portugal indeed based on logic it doesn't make sense but this is the uniqueness of football and other sports
I noted that North Macedonia was active in scored 9 goals in last 3 matches.

I definitely think that North Macedonia won't stand a chance against Portugal in the approaching game between them. Portugal shouldn't underestimate them absolutely after they eliminated a very difficult team like Italy. But these things don't happen too often. Portugal would stop them right there and eliminate them nicely. But I feel like there will be a win by a one-goal gap in this. North Macedonia might show a big endurance like they did against Italy. And at least, they wouldn't get an embarrassing result.

Portugal doesn't underestimate but wary North Macedonia can do anything for example provoking red card and other
More initial anticipation was good before getting a surprise.

No one wants to take that kind of risk in this competition moreover this is the decisive round a little mistake can have a big impact

I also don't see anything worth to bet on for the Portugal - North Macedonia match in two days. Portugal's winning odd right now is only 1.2 and this is not worth taking a big risk I believe. Actually I also think that Portugal wouldn't do the same mistake Italy did here. But I still don't want to feel stressed by betting on them after witnessing that result.  Grin  But maybe one can give a chance to North Macedonia's double chance here. If one bets on it with a small amount, it would be fun to follow the match like that.
What happened to Italy is just force majeure. This happens every few years when the favorite loses to the outsider. Such a football miracle. But in the case of Portugal, this should not happen. The Portugal now understand the price of a mistake in this match and having high-quality strikers like Ronaldo and Doigo Jota, they will try to score immediately and first, so that they can catch the Macedonians on counter attacks if they come to recoup.
Therefore, 1.2 is a big coefficient for such a match, I would give 1.1 no more.

Odds 1.2 is normal for favourite team because mostly people will bets on them and i think you won't find higher odds for Portugal because most of bookmakers will provide low odds for them but as alternative you can find another options to increase the odds but in my view North Macedonia will playing totally defence such as against Italy but Portugal have quality players capable of breaking through the defenses of north Macedonia such as Doigo Jota or Ronaldo so my prediction Portugal will win but maybe with slim score

I think it's difficult for Macedonia to give Portugal a red card. Only if it was a counterattack in which Portugal was caught completely off guard. I find this unlikely. Macedonia is quicker to receive yellow cards, or in extramas red situations, than Portugal receive a card. Teams that play in a very defensive style are more likely to receive cards.

But that will also depend on the style of the referee. And in this game we will have an English referee, and these referees usually like to let it play, so I don't think there will be many cards.

I agree that the team that plays defensively is most likely to get a lot of cards, like the Portugal vs Turkey match, which Turkish players get more
yellow cards than Portugal, because Turkey is playing more defensively than Portugal. So I also doubt when Portugal will get a red card against
North Macedonia. But because football is often a surprise, so I can not guarantee 100% Portugal will not get a red card. It is still very possible
if the Portuguese players are provoked by the North Macedonian players. But I can say the possibility is very small, because the Portuguese players
also understand that facing North Macedonia is an important match to send them through to the 2022 World Cup. So the Portuguese players seem
to be playing cautiously, but even if Portugal gets a red card, I remain optimistic that Portugal can still beat North Macedonia.
