Another match from South America will be today - Colombia vs Ecuador... Judging by Colombia's recent games, we can expect a draw today! By the way, bookmakers are giving great odds that Ecuador won't lose - 2.2... I don't understand where the odds are coming from when Ecuador is higher in the standings and has more wins than Colombia! I also expect both teams to score....
Its 0 0 and only few minutes left in the standing ecuador looked very strong plus colombia performance was not good in the last games only one win in last five games but in this game they played really good especially in the second half but its not enough to score they have better players than ecuador they just need a good strategy.

Now I'm watching Colombia - Ecuador game and some things just doesn't makes sense. Window of European qualifiers is already over few days ago. Meanwhile, it's already Thursday and in South America they are still playing. Main part of players are playing for clubs in Europe and all European leagues will resume this weekend. So, just in few days players will have to travel half world, 5 or 6 timezones and play for club. Nothing surprising that players complaining about intensive calendar and risk of injuries.
Later tonight Brazil - Uruguay game sounds interesting, but it's way too late for me.

there is no other choice but to win for Ukraine in the match against Bosnia. if it draws again, of course, it is not a safe position for Ukraine. Bosnia could have taken the 2nd position in the standings if they appear consistent with the victory.
the biggest chance of position 2 standings I believe between Ukraine and Bosnia. because France will be a tough opponent for Finland in their last match. France is the favorite to win the Group. they are very strong. second place will be a struggle for 3 countries that can appear consistent with the victory.

You are right, in terms of ability and starting ability I think Ukraine is superior to Bosnia, in my opinion Ukraine should win, and I think it can be stronger in a World Cup, in the case of Finland I would like to see it in this World Cup, well It is a different team, but I think that if it can beat France, of course Belgium was a team that had everything won, but France came back, with France it is a team that should not be neglected for anything in the world, France is like Brazil in Latin America, it is practically the strongest team. Formerly in South America there were group stages, and it seemed somewhat uneven, now the qualifiers are all against everyone, that seems much better than the group stage.
Depay really exploded in this qualifcations with so many goals and assists i think it will end with him being the top goalscorer. Also Portugal wont have an easy match against Serbia. Serbia has some really good players in midfield and attack and they can make surprise in Portugal
Serbia is a really strong team and I won't be surprised if they defeat Portugal in the final match. Portugal is one of the top teams in UEFA, but they are overdependent on one player. Others would disagree, but I still believe that if Ronaldo can be properly marked, then it will be difficult for Portugal to win. Anyway, everything will depend on the last match between these two teams. Even if one of them finish at the second place, qualification should not be too hard given the number of points they have. Christiano Ronaldo is no ordinary player. Im not even surprised with the hat-trick. He is absolutely unstoppable in banging goals.
Not to take away anything from this talented lad I want to believe that the fact the he has been put up for penalty duties has really positioned him to get some easy goals in all the teams his playing in, provided these penalties are won,otherwise open goals for Ronaldo don't easily come by maybe because his gotten older.Quote
He is more than a footballer, he is a role model to any body that is ready to achieve in life, he always make impossible to be possible by hardworking.
Don't you think we give him too much credit sometimes such that his more of a role model too many than a footballer...
Although currently Colombia are below Ecuador in the standings, they have a fairly small difference in points and we can see from the 11 matches that have been played in the Conmebol zone, Colombia has only lost 2 times while Ecuador has suffered 5 defeats and this clearly proves that Colombia have a better squad.
I agree that in the match Colombia will try to win and get full points to be in the top four of the standings, so that they can maintain their chances of qualifying for the 2022 world cup.
victory must be a fixed price for colombia because with it they will be able to overtake the rankings of ecuador and uruguay.I agree that in the match Colombia will try to win and get full points to be in the top four of the standings, so that they can maintain their chances of qualifying for the 2022 world cup.
This match will be quite exciting considering they are only one point adrift and this victory will make them more confident to qualify for the next phase.
but ecuador doesn't seem to want to give up just like that even though in the last 5 matches they didn't play well enough

Since Ecuador's position in the points table is good enough. So if they can share the points in today's match, it will be a good enough result for them. Because, Uruguay will play against Brazil. Considering Uruguay's performance in the last few match, their victory against Brazil seems not possible. Although Ecuador can score 1 point in this match, they are likely to be ahead of Uruguay in the points table. However, it will not be easy to get points against Colombia.
I think Colombia has a more capable squad than Ecuador at the moment, and in terms of head-to-head between the two sides, it is clear that Colombia is still far superior, from 51 matches, Colombia has won 25 matches, lost 13 and drawn 13. Other times, besides that, Colombia performance when it was able to hold Brazil to a 0-0 draw a few days ago made me very sure that Colombia would win against Ecuador with a score of more than 1.
Colombia are certainly stronger than Ecuador, at least in terms of their past performances. Colombia have drawn strong teams Brazil and Uruguay in their past matches. They adopted a defensive strategy and drew 0-0 in two matches. But they will not expect a draw in the Ecuador match. They will definitely want full points in this match. Ecuador is very weak compared to past opponents.

Right. To the 10 teams that took second place in the group stage of the European qualifiers, the two best teams from the League of Nations are added (which obviously do not yet have a ticket to the World Cup) and there are two elimination rounds (12 -> 6 -> 3). As a result, there are 3 teams that get a ticket.
Wait, you are saying that Finland or Ukraine will qualify but as far as I know only the team that finishes first in the group qualifies. The second team goes into some kind of tournament that will decide who will qualify. Isn't that right?

Precisely. That's why I don't understand why they are talking about Finland or Ukraine will qualify for the World Cup. Or maybe they mean that one of the teams will qualify for the qualification tournament (while I was writing this I realized how stupid it sounds - to qualify for the qualification tournament
). 
Finland has practically no chance in reality. As you can see Ukraine is one point ahead, Finland has a match in reserve but this is an away match with France:
https://www.theguardian.com/football/world-cup-2022-qualifiers/table
Thus, both Finland and Ukraine, having won the remaining match against Bosnia, remain in their positions. In theory, Finland can take points from France, which will lose motivation for this match, but this is unlikely.

I can't agree with you. Finland will win against Bosnia. I assume that Finland will lose against France. Yet their points will be 11. On the other hand, Ukraine has drawn 6 out of 7 matches. I think they will draw in the last match too. They are less likely to win. Both teams have a chance to go to the next round. Let's see which team can afford it. But I would be happy if Finland could qualify. Because Ukraine's matches are very boring.
At first, you speak as confidently as if you saw the future, and then you return to the fact that both teams have a chance to qualify. But I think objectively the team that has one point more has the best chances, right?

Ukraine shows stable performance in World Cup qualification: they drew 6 matches out of 7 and 5 of them with score 1-1. but they still have good chances to take the 2nd place in the group.
I don't think Ukraine will be able to qualify for the world cup. Their performance has probably improved from before. Because they only play to draw. However, I think the Finland team is better than Ukraine. If Finland can win their next match, they will come second in the points table. Finland's next match is against Bosnia. I believe Finland will win the match.

Ecuador is very weak compared to past opponents.
If we look at the players that Columbia has, most of them are players who have played in several popular European teams. This means that the quality of Columbia's players is much better than Ecuador's. Moreover, as we all know Columbia has managed to draw with a strong team,
this indicates that Columbia is indeed a strong team. So the Columbia vs Ecuador match will be easy to predict, because after all Columbia should be
able to beat Ecuador. If Columbia fails to beat Ecuador, it means the strategy used is not effective.
If Colombia plays attacking then they will win. Because I know their players, they have the ability to score goals. Moreover when the opponent is Ecuador, the Colombian players should easily score against them. Ecuador's defense is not very strong. Mar guess Colombia will win 2-1 today.
In another match, Brazil will face Uruguay. Brazil is a strong team, Uruguay is having a bad time now. Uruguay conceded 3 goals against Argentina. I am also expecting Brazil to win this match.
Basically Ukraine only has one match left and the last match is against Bosnia, if Ukraine fails to win then it is very likely that Ukraine will be eliminated. But if Ukraine can win in that last match, then I think the position will no longer change and Ukraine will be runner up. But regarding who is the best, for me these three teams Ukraine, Finland, Bosnia have the same ability and capacity for now. So for me, because Finland and Bosnia still have two matches to go, I think both of them have a chance to fill the second place at the end. But unfortunately, in the last match Finland will play against France which of course will be a difficult mission and as such, Bosnia is a strong candidate to be runner up in this group.
there is no other choice but to win for Ukraine in the match against Bosnia. if it draws again, of course, it is not a safe position for Ukraine. Bosnia could have taken the 2nd position in the standings if they appear consistent with the victory.the biggest chance of position 2 standings I believe between Ukraine and Bosnia. because France will be a tough opponent for Finland in their last match.

I had the opportunity to watch the matches in Group D last night. Ukraine Bosnia and Herzegovina match ended 1-1. Ukraine made a very fast opening to the match and was able to score with Yarmalenko. After the golden, Bosnia and Herzegovina tried very hard to equalize the score, entered the position, but they could not find a goal, Ukraine closed 1-0 ahead in the first half. In the second half, Ukraine started the match again under pressure. At the end, Ahmedhodzic scored at 77 minutes. Bosnia and Herzegovina managed to score even if it was 1 point away.
Finland - Kazakhstan match ended 2-0. Finland caught back-to-back positions in the first half, put pressure on their good play and got the result before the end of the first half, pukki scored. At the beginning of the 2nd half, the ball bouncing off the goalkeeper fell in front of Pukki and completed the goal. Finland got a comfortable win against Kazakhstan.
