I've watched every world cup match so far, and after the 1st round I have some thoughts:
Of course Japan and Saudi Arabia were the biggest surprises and I don't have to point this again, but Canada surprised me with a pretty good match against Belgium and I was amazed how they play against a stronger team.
Belgium is not a medium team, it is almost a favorite, and Canada have real chances to win, Belgium only won because of Courtois.
I hope Canada classify to next round, they are deserving
I think Argentina can classify in their group, but Germany don't
Brazil, France, Spain and Netherlands showed why they are favorites, followed by England and Portugal.
I'll keep my bet on Brazil, but I have some doubts about Argentina

I think that the match between England and USA because both teams showed really good play in their first games. Especially England with the 6-2 win over Iran. I'm curious how will Qatar play today against Senegal. If both teams play the way they did in their first games, it should be an easy win for Senegal.
However Qatar is nowhere near ahead against Senegal if their first game is against Ecuador to compare. Qatar would have lost if their form had never looked good but who would have thought because a surprise is something we never know like Wales vs Iran which just ended for a 2-0 Iran win.Iran scored 2 goals in injury time with only 3 minutes for each goal. This was another surprise at the World Cup as most of us believed that Wales looked convincing to win. Apparently Iran is only weak in front of England, and not in front of Wales.
Iran....
What a goal!!!

Watching today's game I was forced to say that Iran v Wales might be a draw but the drama changed with three minutes to go. Just dramatically, Iran created a miracle in the match by scoring two consecutive goals.
Congratulations IRAN
Wales played even worse in the second half than in the first. I thought they could win, but the match commentator made an interesting point about Wales not winning a World Cup match in the last 60 years. They've either lost or drawn. That's a huge statistic and speaks volumes. And Iran played much better today and had more opportunities. What a goal!!!

So we start in my opinion the day with a surprise result and I think the goals came from that red card.I had bet on draw no bet on Wales and I was hoping for a draw as a minimum so I could have taken my money back.Now Iran with this victory is going to have a hell of a clash with the USA,it will be very interesting to see how these two countries with big hostilities in real life toward each other will behave in the field.Maybe Iran for the first time will pass the group stages if they manage to beat USA.
Iran....

While we wait for the second round of matches to begin, let's take a look at the standings for all groups:

It will be more interesting to see how Germany and Argentina will play there second game after a first match defeat. Today Qatar will take on Senegal, Qatar need to play like saudia Arab and Japan in there second game to keep the tournament alive for the home country.
so if Qatar loses today, then the host is out as first.
Qatar were never going to qualify, i feel they may even be eliminated with no points and no goals. Senegal are a strong team, and they deserved at least a point in their first game against Netherlands, they held on for a very long time, until the 84th minute, and then they lost it all and conceded two goals. I expect Senegal to correct their mistakes and beat Qatar today, that will leave them on three points, and if Netherlands beat Ecuador later today, then the final group game between Ecuador and Senegal will be a deciding game, the match that will decide who will join Netherlands in the quarter final. But a lot of things can happen differently, but on paper it is expected to play out like this.Then , Netherland vs Ecuador game. This match will end in a draw, i don't see Netherland beating Ecuador easily, it will be a rough game for both team.
The match between Wales vs Iran resulted in a score of 0 - 0 in this first half. It can also be seen in the statistics that Wales dominated in ball possession with a percentage of 66%. At the start of the game many thought that Wales would be able to lead the match with a score of at least 1 - 0, but that was just an illusion. What are your views on the second half? will we still see this score last until the end of the match? If there are goals in this match, how many goals will there be in this match?
Not yet able to score a single goal of the two teams up to 82 minutes of the match between Wales vs Iran and Wales still mastered the game up to 65%.I intend to place a small bet on this match for over 1 1/4 goals, is that a good idea? 
We wait until the 85th minute, if the score is still 0-0 then the chance of this match will end in a draw.
In this match I did not place a bet. I plan to place bets in the English vsa match. I bet on Kemengan Bunggis, besides because the team I supported at the 2022 World Cup, England also had other factors that convinced me to place bets. What do you think.
Very disappointing match for the Welsh fans so far. I desperately want Gareth Bale's team to win a match in the world cup, but Iranian defense is putting up very stiff resistance. Wales has more than 2/3rd ball possession till now, but so far they have been unable to breach the Iranian defenses. We are well in to the second half and both the teams haven't scored a goal till now. If Iran loses today, then they are out of the world cup. For Wales, whether they will progress to the PQF stage or not will depend upon the outcome of their match against England.
I am actually very surprised how this match is going so far. I expected that Wales would be the totally dominant team in this match and that they would have not that big of a problem to win it. As of now though it is kinda the opposite. For me Iran is the better team so far and they had 2 huge chances to score at the beginning of the second half but they hit the post 2 times within like 10 seconds or so. Therefore i would say that Wales can be even lucky that it is still 0-0 now in the 80th minute. I don't have the numbers in my head now but i think if Wales will not win today then they definitely win their last game against England, which will be hard.
so if Qatar loses today, then the host is out as first.

Some good game being shown by Brazil and Portugal.
Argentina gave world cup surprise and so does Saudia Arabia. I think that is the only match Saudis win maybe they wont be able to win any match because next teams will take the team saudi very serious.
Brazil and portugal were strong team and im not feeling doubt if both can win easily in the first round. The next match that will be faced by saudi arabia will be very interesting match against polandia. Polandia was getting draw against meksiko. The big surprise may come again very soon. I personally thin if saudi arabia may get a tough game against polandia. Meksiko and polandia are equal but it seems like that real performance from saudi arabia will be tested when it will be facing polandia and meksiko. Argentina gave world cup surprise and so does Saudia Arabia. I think that is the only match Saudis win maybe they wont be able to win any match because next teams will take the team saudi very serious.
Argentina needs to win against meksiko to make sure if it will have a chance to go to the next stage. If argentina will be loosing again and it may not have a chance to go to the next stage.

The first matches of the group stage of the World Cup have been completed. I think the most surprising result came from Argentina and Germany. Argentina might manage to get out of the group. Because the other opponents in their group are weaker. But Germany have very tough matches. They cannot easily beat Spain. They will probably beat Costa Rica. They will expect Japan to lose points in the remaining matches. In my opinion, there is a possibility that Germany will say goodbye to the World Cup early.
From all indication Germany will find it tougher and their chance of qualifying for the next round is very slim. Germany can't withstand Spain if the will get any point from the group stage it will be against Costa Rica and by then Japan should be 6 points ahead as the are the favourite to win against Costa Rica. Germany just has to warm up for their exit from the world cup and prepare for 2026Quote
Wales - Iran match continues 0-0. Iran seem to have overcome the shock of the 6 goals they conceded in the first match. Also, Iran seem very eager in this match. They are playing with high pace. But I don't think they can sustain the whole game at this pace. In my opinion, Wales will dominate the game in the second half.
The match today Qatar vs. Senegal is KO Game. This Team were lost the game is out of the World Cup. Both teams are without a point so far and Qatar have not shot on the goal in the first game.... unbelievable. In the group A you can't go in the next round with only 3 points, so if Qatar loses today, then the host is out as first. The 3th matchday on 29.11. (last in the gourp): Ecuador vs Senegal & Netherlands vs Qatar.

Yes, Iran tried desperately to fight in the first half and even managed to score a goal, but unfortunately from offside the goal didn't count. I too think Wales will show strength in the second half and win this match. I think Wales play no worse than England who had no problem beating Iran. Wales need to win to get out of the group.

for me, in terms of drama and excitement, the games that caused the most emotion on matchday 1 were argentina vs. saudi arabia (1-2), belgium vs. canada (1-0) and yesterday's game between portugal vs. ghana (3-2)
