Rafinha has shown that he has the willpower and determination to make his mark on the brazilian national team and establish himself in the main squad. I haven't been following him much, but he seems to be a promising player if he keeps up this level. I hope that Dorival knows how to develop him well. If it's working like this, it's better not to change much about him.

I would be happy to see Messi playing in the next World Cup before he retires, because despite his age, he is still playing at a very high level and is still extremely competitive.

But I think Argentina will be very upset if Messi retires early, but they have exceptional players, so even if that happens, I think they will remain competitive and intimidating. Don't forget that Argentina are three-time World Cup champions.

Even at the age of 37, Messi continues to perform brilliantly. I thought Messi would retire after the World Cup. But he is still playing great. I had already predicted that Argentina would have an easy win against Bolivia. But I didn't think that Argentina would do such a great dominance. From the start of the match we saw only Argentina's dominance. At the end of the first half, Argentina scored three goals. And in the second half they scored three goals. Messi scored a hat trick. Also the performance of Martinez and Alavarez was good in this match.

Messi is still the most important and powerful legendary player for Argentina. We saw his game last night and the performance he put up for the team was really impressive, his brilliant hat-trick which captivated the audience and fans. Of course, it will be a pity that when Messi retires, his fans will miss him a lot and Argentina will not be as strong. I think Argentina team is very strong right now just because of Messi but if he retires the team can collapse a lot, also other players and Messi will not be the same.

Results of today's games:

Brazil 4 - 0 Peru

I'm not trying to discredit Vinicius, but it seems that Brazil is playing very well without him. This team composition for yesterday's game was a very efficient composition. Maybe the coach will use it a lot from now on if he puts Vinicius in and the team plays badly again and loses. It's funny that Real Madrid's players couldn't score a goal. This is starting to show that Brazil needs to get it out of their heads that they should put players from the top teams to play even when those players don't score many goals for the top team.

Argentina 6 - 0 Bolivia

Messi is still an extremely important player for Argentina, I always wonder what it will be like when Messi finally retires

Uruguay 0 - 0 Ecuador

I'm honestly not surprised by this result

Paraguay 2 - 1 Venezuela

Venezuela has declined a lot, I don't know what's happening to them.

I agree with all the bets, but I wouldn't bet on Brazil winning. I would go for another market in the same game, but not on Brazil winning. They haven't convinced yet, and in the last game they were under a lot of pressure to score.

Wow, finally I won a great bet, and almost got all games right 
I only missed Venezuela vs Paraguay, because Ecuador drew against Uruguay, and Brazil, Argentina and Colombia not only won their matches but won by a great margin of goals, incredible
Colombia made 4 goals, Brazil 4 goals, and Argentina made 6 

Looks like the last round was the back to reality for some teams
Take a look at the updated table:

Even though the Brazilian team is currently performing well, most football fans are not entirely happy with their performance. Because the two teams they faced were the worst performances in the CONMEBOL 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers so far. Brazil won 2-1 Goals against Chile, perhaps with this match Brazil made a new comeback.

Chile have played a total of ten qualifying matches so far with just one win which shows how badly this team is performing and how weak they are. On the other hand, Peru's situation is the same as they have won only one match out of ten matches. If Brazil thinks that their performance is self sufficient after winning against these two teams then they are wrong, they need to improve so that they can perform well against strong teams. In the upcoming matches, Brazil will face Venezuela, Uruguay, Colombia and Argentina, maybe Brazil will have to face a tough test in those matches.

There is no doubt that Brazil's squad is very strong. There is no dearth of talented players in the squad. Every player in the squad is linked with various big clubs in Europe. And almost every player is able to perform well with the club. Vini, Rafinha and Rodrygo are in excellent form at the moment. The pair of Vini and Rodrygo are able to perform well with Real Madrid. On the other hand, Raphinha has been able to perform well in almost every match with Barcelona.

Although the players play well in club football, their performance with the Brazil squad is very poor. Brazil's condition is mainly due to bad match strategy and bad formation.

Brazil played well against Peru and won. But this group is a very weak group. Brazil coach Dorival Junior kept Raphinha out of the squad for a long time. But against Peru, Raphinha managed to perform well.

In last four games, we are having good improvement even mostly games were against weaker sides, but things are favourable for the Brazil to seal their spot in next world cup 2026 now their next two games are going to be good as well with playing against Paraguay away and Uruguay at home will give them good chance of win and increase their spot into league table.

In this game against Peru we have all well set for the Brazil which started comfortably and have good until end of the game we have good aggressive approach from their attack which helps them for having four goals in this game which is good improvement from their attack they need to keep things on this level for next games as well.

This was not shocking for me as I really enjoyed GOAT doing business and having his best performance back with this game from start he was having good foundation and keep things around him which works, and he was able to score 3 goals with 2 assist give good confidence to him and his team as well with this win now they are having good lead at the top.

Their attack is most active in this group, and they are also had well-balanced defense which is good support for them as we are having performance from the Argentina in these games most chances we will have Argentina could be favourite to go and win another title in next world cup as we are having 48 teams and 3 countries are going to host first biggest every soccer event in North America.

I only found out that Brazil played yesterday because I read the news. They even won, but I saw that it was Peru, the last placed team in the group, so I didn't care. 4-0 was their obligation. And with their past performance, they should have scored more goals. This is not the time to celebrate.

I'm not very excited about the current Brazilian team. Of course, they won their last two games against Chile and Peru, but we mustn't forget that they are the last two teams in the table. Chile has lost 5 consecutive games and Peru is one of the worst teams in South America. The Brazilian team urgently needs a real coach, because there's no point in creating hope by playing with dying opponents.

And it happened according to as you have predicted. Argentina lived up to expectation and they dealt with Bolivia very well. Messi made sure that he never disappoint his people on his return to play in their home soil with a great performance. The truth is Bolivia had no chance of even getting a draw in that match. Messi scored a hat trick and assisted two goals. Bolivia disappointed you 😁😁 but you did well by rooting for them. Argentina won by 6:0 hopefully Bolivia will win their next match for you. The star boy Messi scored in 19, 84 and 86 minutes of the game.

Though there are still many matches left, the overall standing is clearer and the changes in qualifying teams are unlikely to change. Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay and Brazil are safely in. Ecuador is equally a good team and should qualify. It leaves 1 direct spot for WC.
The real competition left is between Paraguay, Bolivia and Venezuela for the direct qualifications spot and the play off spot. One of them would have to end their journey.
Argentina's win against Bolivia was huge but Argentina at the moment is the uncontested leader in South America.

It's really shocking to see Messi destroyed Bolivia, scored hattrick and two assists, almost all the goals created by him. Bolivian already lost their mental when Messi scored the first goal, they should able to fight because they can won against Colombia and Venezuela which are stronger than them.

Uruguay seems not able to going anywhere, unfortunately they lack of players, Nunez is bad, but among all the forwards, he's the best in Uruguay.

Seems Brazil easily will secure three points after leading 4-0 awhile trough penalty kick from Raphinha then one goals scored by Andreas Pereira, then another goals from Luiz Henriquez and remaining 20 minutes left, the victory helped Brazil secure the 4th place position have the same 16 points with Uruguay and left three points reach the second place from Colombia. This month qualifier match Brazil have good performed after winning two consecutives matches from Chile and Peru recently few minutes left match will end.

Brazil have dominance this match by controlling ball possession more than 70% and make 7 shots on target, I don't think problem few minutes left for Peru scoring the goal because the statistic Brazil more dominance the game than Peru. Its good result for Brazil after having bad performed and this month match qualifying success securing six points of two matches. Next month qualifying, Brazil will face Venezuela and Uruguay with opportunity reach the second place position if can secure two consecutives matches.

Today Brazil face Peru and at halftime I can already see Brazil leading by one goal. After a great performance before half time, Brazil will definitely have the chance to score more goals if they can attack strongly after half time. Brazil have 75% of the ball possession, also the attack rate is high but if Peru can come out of the half and make a strong attack, it is possible to tie the game. Although the goal was a penalty, the Brazilian team must be tougher, stronger and more excited to win this match. As they have already qualified in the points table, it will be better for Brazil if they win this match today.

Well, boys, I've gone and done it. Everything was pointing to the favourites winning or at worst, drawing, but I'm going to stick with the tiny voice of unreason from yesterday and stick a bit on Bolivia. This was, I lose only a little more than I already have -- but if I win, I cover some nasty losses.

That also leaves me with just one game to keep an eye on, if I happen to be up!

I agree with all the bets, but I wouldn't bet on Brazil winning. I would go for another market in the same game, but not on Brazil winning. They haven't convinced yet, and in the last game they were under a lot of pressure to score.

I've also lost a few bets in the last few rounds 
I'm not very confident about Uruguay, but I'm going to try to bet on Brazil, Argentina and Colombia winning, I believe that all 3 teams will win again

In this bet I can recover the money I lost, but if one of them loses or draws, I'll be at a loss in these last few rounds hehehe

I think Venezuela will beat Paraguay today and Uruguay will draw against Ecuador

Exactly, while the players are European level, the coach is Brazilian level. This will never work, the tactics of the strongest teams will be as refined as the tactics of the championships here. With a coach like that, we will always be one step behind.

Making a multibet bet placing Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia to win would give odds of @3.00, but honestly I wonder if it will be an easy game for these 4 teams. Because looking at each of the 4 teams, they don't give me much confidence when I see these low odds. In the last game, Colombia lost against Bolivia, which is playing very well and has not lost in 3 games. Colombia has not managed to score at least 1 goal and strangely Bolivia, which is playing well, will play against Argentina, which in the last 2 games has not managed to win but they are putting odds of @1.06 in favor of Argentina as if Bolivia were a very weak team, and it is true that when you look at the history of clashes involving these two teams:



https://livescores.biz/h2h/argentina-cf-vs-bolivia-cf

There is a very discouraging scenario for Bolivia. But these odds of @1.06 in favor of Argentina may be very low, maybe Bolivia can get a draw. I would only put Argentina in my multi bet if I had to choose the "Double Chance Argentina or Draw" market if it had odds of at least @1.20, in the case of Brazil, they also have a very good history when playing against Chile, but this current Brazil does not inspire much confidence in me, even though Chile is doing very badly at the moment, they could still get a draw, so these odds of @1.23 in case Brazil wins. Regarding Uruguay, I would not put them in my bet either. Honestly, I see Uruguay with a greater chance of drawing.
