Tomorrow we will have 5 games.

Paraguay - Colombia

This will be the first game tomorrow, and a game that has good odds, we are talking about odds of 3.45 if Paraguay wins and 2.24 if Colombia wins, when we look at the performance of these two teams in the last 5 games, in my opinion opinion Colombia did better, in the last 5 games Colombia did not lose in any game, even beating Brazil in their last game, in a game in which Colombia managed to score 2 goals and only conceded 1 goal. colombia is a team that has a deficient attack, despite having a good striker like luiz diaz, but luis diaz alone will not make the team win every game, so the other strikers need to commit more . Paraguay's situation is not good, they have been doing poorly in the last 5 games, they have not been able to score goals, we just need to see that in the last 4 games they have only scored 1 goal, but they have been doing well in defense, in the last 6 games only conceded 3 goals. In my opinion this is one of those games where a draw is most likely to happen. I also don't expect him to have more than 3 goals. probably at most we will see 2 goals, which is why betting on Draw No Bet colombia with odds of @1.53 seems like a good choice.

Uruguay - Bolivia

This is a game in which Uruguay comes as the favorite, they have only had 1 defeat in the last 5 games, they have had 4 consecutive victories, and in the last two games Uruguay played against Brazil and won, in a game in which they scored 2 goals and didn't concede any goals, then Uruguay played against Argentina and won, in a game in which they also scored 2 goals and didn't concede any goals. playing against 2 big teams and beating both big teams without conceding a goal, is a great achievement. while the performance of their opponent in tomorrow's game is very poor, in the last 5 games they have won in just 1 game, and it is a team with terrible defense, and when they played against Brazil they conceded 5 goals, against Argentina they conceded 3 goals, what if you can predict an easy victory for Uruguay with 2 or more goals

Brazil - Argentina

This will probably be the game in which all attention will be on him, on Brazil's side I don't expect the coach to bring in any new players, I believe he will call up the same players he has been calling up, the injured players will not be called up and on Argentina's side I also hope to see the same scenario, and it is very difficult to understand what is going on in the heads of the coaches of these two countries, in my last post that I made in this thread I spoke about Brazil, so I don't need to repeat myself, in this one I will talk about Argentina, and it is true that they They won the World Cup, but I feel like they don't give space to other players, for example in the case of Dybala, he is called up but doesn't play, even when the team is winning and there are just a few minutes left, the coach still doesn't play him. Looking at what I expect in this game, despite the bookmakers placing Brazil as the favorite, I see Argentina getting a draw or victory if Di Maria and Lautaro Martinez are in the starting 11, but I have doubts that this will happen. The Argentine coach has many good players, but it seems to me that he prefers players who are on big teams, Messi is a case in which he makes an exception

^re Brazil, I personally thought they really impressed in the last campaign. I watched it with my son (his first proper WC) and my partner who never really saw them and the gukf in quality, they, as people who don't watch football, said they were impressed. And I think for good reason.

Now, I won't disagree Tito took them through some bewildering moments and while Firmino is my fav Brazilian, and did his part en route to the last campaign, him spearheading Brazil was a sign of the times.

I completely agree with you, Brazil has this weird identity that England also has in league football (in general). Limiting their coaches to origin rather than selecting on philosophy.

P.S. Don't know how I missed this gem of a thread, familiar faces in here. Too bad late to the party.

It's been many years since the Brazilian national team has been declining and in my opinion the problem in Brazil's highest football body is that it insists on continuing to employ coaches who are Brazilian even though they haven't shown any trophies they have won with any other main team, This gets to be very funny. It seems that Brazil's football directors just sit in their offices and have no idea of the development of the world today. the players called up to play in Brazil's main team, most of them are players who play outside of Brazil, see that Brazil reached such a regrettable level of calling up Neymar who wasn't playing often because he was coming off an injury and Al's coach - Hilal even said in the press that he found it very strange to see Neymar called up when he saw Neymar injured

This fact happened at the beginning of Neymar's transfer to Al - Hilal, and when we look at the Brazilian team we see that they have players who score goals, when we look at other Brazilian players who play abroad, we see that they have good players. Take the case of Anderson Talisca who plays for Al - Nassr, the guy is a good scorer and is a Brazilian citizen, but they prefer to call up the injured Neymar, who wasn't even playing and they don't call up Anderson Talisca who has been playing and scoring goals constantly.

Is it possible that all Brazilian coaches who become coaches of the main team think the same way to the point of only calling up a small group of certain players every time? It seems to me that this Brazilian team is a lost cause, they won't win the World Cup anytime soon, maybe the day there are changes in management and they hire a foreign coach with the power to call up players he wants, then we'll see Brazil winning the World Cup of the world

You can include me on that list 


He lost both bets, just like me. Sometimes soccer can surprise us
Never in history Colombia win against Brazil in Qualifiers, so, easy bet right?


Yes, there's 6 direct sport to the World Cup + 1 spot to another qualify
I'm sure Brazil and Argentina will qualify, but the championship just become more interest because both teams will need to fight more to be the 1st, and in the case of Brazil, they need to be at least in second place, otherwise people will start to get mad at the team
The next match between Brazil and Argentina promises to be awesome, both teams have lost their last matches, are eternal rivals, playing in a crowded Maracanã, and will be the last match of 2023 

I am skipping betting on this qualifications, because there is really a lot positions that qualify from this group
and one can expect many surprises, because even with four/five loses Argentina and Brasil will surely qualify

so either you chase surprises, or it is better to skip betting on ML here, maybe putting goals could be an opportunity, but not sure about it
all in all, Colombia and Uruguay will qualify side-by-side with Argentina and Brasil, and there is more spots available

Yep crazy results, I wonder how many gamblers in this world are lost on Brazil and Argentina last night.
Well I have a little doubt with Argentina, I was thinking maybe draw is possible but lost 0 - 2 is beyond my wildest imagination on that match.

A friend of mine bet on Argen and Brazil with a decent bet amount, he said it will be impossible for both teams will be lose, so its a safe bets.
When Brazil leading 1 - 0 he placed another bet on it, same with Argen when lose 0-1 .. he bet on Argentina again.

Like I said above "I'm not 100% sure because it's Uruguay, and they know how to play against Argentina"

But in any case, both results were surprising
Argentina is still in first place and lost to a team that is the top 3 in South America, but Brazil lost in qualifying for the first time in its history to Colombia.

I don't know exactly what's going on with the Brazilian team. There's no shortage of good players, the coach is excellent, after all he won the Copa Libertadores last week, he's made some good selections...
There's still something missing from the Brazilian team. Maybe it's the indecision with coach Ancelotti, maybe it's the team's dependence on Neymar...

The next game will be even more difficult against Argentina, and could put Brazil in a very bad position in the table

Wow, the results of the games in this round were results that left me very surprised.

Colombia 2 - 1 Brazil

Before the game started, Brazil was seen as the favorite, mainly because they were coming off a defeat and needed a victory, so with the squad that Brazil has, it was at least expected that they would be able to play a little well and come out with a result. acceptable, something like a draw. During the game, Brazil was dominating the game, but with attacks that did not cause much danger to Colombia's defense, while Colombia, on the few occasions when they caused danger to Brazil's defense, they managed to score 2 goals and won the game. Well, in my opinion, Brazil needs to start thinking about hiring foreign coaches. their team is at a very low level of performance and great things are not expected from them currently

argentina 0 - 2 uruguay

well, this was another game that had a result that left me very surprised, but in this case of Argentina this defeat did not affect their position in the table much, they are still leaders in the table with 12 points and in second place is Uruguay with 10 points. Argentina's next game will be against Brazil, a defeat for Argentina could take them off the top of the table, but given Brazil's poor performance and I saw that Vinicius Jr. he was injured during Brazil's game against Colombia, I don't know if he will be cured to the point of playing against Argentina, but I see Argentina with a good chance of winning this game

Argentina win is paying 1.61, clearly the favorite in bookmakers, but I'm not 100% sure because it's Uruguay, and they know how to play against Argentina
Brazil x Colombia - 2.29 of odds to Brazil, I think I'm going to place this bet, too good in my opinion and Brazil is the favorite here, even playing outside and even with all the problems
Chile victory is paying 1.87 against Paraguay, another good oportunity

Maybe I can put a bet in Brazil and another multiple in Argentina and Chile wins (this one will pay 3.01)

I think your correct answers will be under 2.5.

The only one that I see clearly is the victory of Argentina, that's how I've played it everywhere, even in the BSFL (I think so, lol), by the way Luis Suarez returns.

The other matches have a reserved forecast. In any case, the reality is that we already have the first Brazil Vs Argentina, everyone is invited. Yes, I'm getting ahead of myself, but it's one of those classic confrontations that transcend.

Guys, just to remember, in 2 days there's one more round of qualifying

The matches are:

Bolivia x Peru
Venezuela x Ecuador
Colombia x Brazil
Argentina x Uruguay
Chile x Paraguay

what are your thoughts?
In bold I put my favorites, but after the last 2 rounds of Brazil matches I'm in doubt and the teams can surprise us again, specially Venezuela

Qualification is certainly not in risk, especially as this time there will be six teams qualified, Brazil will certainly be in the top three, but I also think that the national team needs to define the coach urgently, practically all the other teams already have their coaches well defined and are already working for the World Cup, Brazil will be behind in this regard



You can be absolutely sure that a lot of people lost their bets, and those who bet against Brazil won a LOT of money because they were paying very well
I didn't get good results, I lost my bets in this round, but for the next round I'm confident I'll be able to recover my bankroll

For the spectators, the championship is going to be very cool to watch, it's very good when the favorites don't win and different teams get good results, this is good for soccer in general, including for the teams to get more strength and experience to arrive better at the 2026 World Cup

I would be very confident to say most of people who betted on the Venezuela v Brazil match and the Chile v Venezuela match end up losing money. Because, historically the Venezuelan football team has been showed little disciple and small chances when going against more experienced teams like Brazil and Argentina.

I was myself considering whether I should have betted on those matches, but in the end I decided not to, because I was not sure on where to put my money. Still I am happy to see our national team scoring some points and getting closer to the World Cup, it is still very early to celebrate, obviously, there is a long path ahead before we can stand up proud of this new generator of players.
Brazil and Chile could have understimated us during those matches, but they will certainly not do so in the future.

+1
The short answer, that is why it is the confederation that grants the most places vs the number of national teams that play in it.

Now, that surprise loses strength when you see that the team is Venezuela, because the possible "surprise" candidates to beat Brazil are any of the other 8 teams except Venezuela and Bolivia, but then given what happened with Chile, another great always Conmebol, it's simple, it wasn't even "Luck".

The matches in Conmebol for World Cup qualification are always somewhat unpredictable, I think many of us lost money in these match.

In fact, the current situation is not at all pleasant for Brazilians who follow the Brazilian football team.
With this defeat to Uruguay, Brazil lost its unbeaten run of 37 matches in World Cup qualifiers.
Worse than that, I'm worried about the injury to Neymar, our main player, who if it's really serious with his knee, he could be unable to play for up to 6 months.

But... Brazil still occupies third place on the leaderboard and I don't believe that its classification for the World Cup is at risk.
Brazil urgently needs to define whether Ancelotti will come as coach or whether we will continue with Fernando Diniz, the team needs a technical definition for the direction of the selection.

I couldn't be more proud of Venezuela, they really did very well, it's incredible how they can play at that level, they didn't believe it before, at one point in the BRAZIL game I thought they were going to beat Venezuela At least 5 gfoles were going to put them in, because Brazil beat Bolivia in La Paz (Bolivia where the altitude is impressive and there is a lack of oxygen) and they were able to beat them there, then in Brazil and while at home, well it's something I thought it was almost impossible, but getting a draw in Brazil is considered here as a win, a victory, after that performance they make people have a lot of faith and that same faith was what made them win against Chile, so that's what we We must see, first of all, Venezuela's performance is impressive. Chile has never been beaten like this in the playoffs, because Chile is a very strong country in soccer, so we know that Venezuela did this, because the only rival that looks stronger of everything and that they have come out undefeated, it is Argentina, and that because of the way Messi is playing, it is imporinoanste what the Argentinian has done.

All this is the Exciting thing about the playoffs,  now looking at the sense of things, it seems very strange to me how Brazil has been because Brazil is a team that now has Neymar injured and that is a tolerable loss, he will not be able to be in the elimnatiroias for the November date and basically things when it comes to Basil are strong, because they lost in Uruguay and they have not been able to match Argentina, and I don't understand it well, Brazil has Vinicius, it has Rodrygo, it has many players that they can make a difference and that is something that can be established as something that can practically make a difference, as far as I am concerned I think that things when they are about how to do so that they can equalize them, well it has to be done in the next few Dates , Brazil is not Playing well, I dare say that the technical team is to blame.

I wouldn't say Brazil is in crisis, and I cannot pick out any player to a portion blame for the defeat, it was a team's performance and Uruguay was the better side. Every record at some point is going to be broken and their 37 matches unbeaten run in the CONMEBOL qualifiers since 2015 has come to an end. Though, the game was one of their worst performance as they failed to register a shot on target but there's still 14 more matches to be played. I think they can turn things around and make the cut for the 2026 Fifa world cup as they have never fail to qualify for the Fifa world cup since inception.

What happened to Brazil?  
I'm still trying to figure it out hehehe
Can we officially declare the Brazilian national team in crisis?
What do you think of this situation? Can you find a culprit?

This round was very interesting

• Brazil lost
• Messi played another excelent game
• Venezuela got a win and are starting to believe that qualification for the World Cup is possible
• Argentina and Colombia are the only ones who haven't lost so far
  

and of course, I lost 2 bets in this round 

In a few hours the games will start. Currently, Venezuela, which is playing against Chile, is winning. Venezuela's performance in the last few games has been quite incredible, they had a victory and an important draw because it was achieved in the game against Brazil, and if Venezuela comes away with victory in this game then they will be doing well in terms of points. Now Chile cannot be underestimated either, it will probably be a game in which Venezuela will have to work hard in defense, because the risk of a draw is very high. In any case, may the best team win.

Brazil will play against Uruguay, based on odds, it appears that despite Brazil having a team made up of players who currently play for the best teams in the world, Brazil's performance is inconsistent for the good level of the players they have. They were supposed to at least be able to beat certain opponents easily, but while on paper they are strong, on the field they are weak. It's funny that they play well to the point of putting pressure on their opponents, but they spend a lot of time wasting the many opportunities they have to score a goal and when the opponent has few opportunities, they score a goal.

in the case of this game between Brazil and Uruguay. brazil is lucky because urugay's performance wasn't good in the last 2 games, but because of the past record that urugay is a good team and because brazil's performance in the last 2 games wasn't good, then i wouldn't be surprised if To see another draw in this game, Brazil does not inspire confidence. I'm glad I'm not going to bet on them anymore, after I bet on them in a game with odds of 1.09 and they tied, I started not betting on them anymore

Argentina will play against Peru, which in the last 3 games has not managed to win any game, I see Argentina coming out victorious in this game and they could increase the advantage they have in the table if Brazil loses or draws, but it is strange that even though Peru is in a very bad situation and Argentina with an acceptable performance, even so the odds for Argentina to win are at 1.39, perhaps when they announce the squad that will play the odds value will decrease a lot

Uruguay, who earned a critical point against Colombia, will not have any new absentees due to injury or suspension, while Cristian and Mathias Olivera are expected to return to the starting eleven. While Brazil's unexpected point loss against Venezuela brought criticism, the uncertainty of Casemiro's condition after he left the game with an injury and Gerson may get a chance to play. In addition, Couta may find time at full back in place of Danilo, who is out of the national team camp due to injury. We know that Uruguay always plays differently in the Centenario but Brazil is a team with a higher skill level when Rodrygo, Neymar and Vinicius are on the pitch. My favorite is Brazil and i am sure we'll see more than one goal.
