America has invested a lot in soccer in recent years, ever since the 1994 World Cup in America.

They need more than just financial investment for their soccer. It is good but not enough. They need to have talent basically and have to find talented youth players in their country. They have some good players but they need more. In their squad I only can consider Pulisic as a star player. McKenzie is good but he is not good enough to be considered as a star player.

Quote

The progress of the American national team is obvious and their results at the world cups are getting better and better.

It's a good improvement for them and it is a foundation for their confidence in next World Cups.

Quote

This World Cup also showed great progress of the Asian and African national teams, and I think it's only a matter of time when an Asian or African national team will play in the final of the World Cup.
The successes of Japan, South Korea and America at this world cup are not accidental, but the result of a large investment in football.
We have never had more Asian teams in the World Cup round of 16. Obviously, the football map of the world is changing.

The differences among biggest teams in World Cup history like Brazil, Italy, Germany, Argentina, France, Spain with other teams are decreasing. With globalized transfer market and more investments into soccer in the US and in football in other nations, we will see more surprising results in future World Cups.

Though the US soccer team will need luck to make surprising result. Just like to win World Cup, team don't only have to be strong but also need a lot of luckiness.

USA were unfortunate today, they have a young team, they’ll have to go prepare and come back in 2026.

USA is a big country, but we haven't seen USA in the list of world cup winners since 1930. It is possible that in 2026 USA is also not present as a winner. If we look at today's young players, Brazil is one of the countries that has produced young, European-class players. When it comes to sports, especially in the field of football, Europe is the benchmark. Most of the world's stars play in the European class.

Soccer is never been favorite game in the USA as they have their own games like Basketball, Baseball and American Football with this they have never been quality soccer team which give them trophy but good thing happening as we have some good popularity of soccer in the USA in last few years which is having good impact and now next world cup is also going to play in Canada, USA and Mexico with now we will have 48 teams in this event which will help to increase popularity of this game in North America.

Even we have South America as best region for the soccer, but North is also had good potential and can give massive development to do good things for this game in this region now in last few years many big names from Europe also transferring into MLS which is also good for the development of this game in the USA.

Argentina VS Australia game ended up for the favour of Argentina, because Argentina players were very ready to use all their skills to play Australia to ensure they move ahead to another phase of the game, which they did it yesterday that made them to beat Australia 2:1. One of the PSG striker called Messi open the goalpost in the first half to alert their fans that they have what it takes to withstand any strong teams in this FIFA world cup competition to win the trophy in this season.

The match is one of the few I can repeatedly bet my money upon, there is nothing to doubt about it. I even thought it was going to be a win-to-nothing on the defeating side of the Australian team because I had carefully studied the form of the two teams before concluding that Argentina would win. Thanks to the beautiful goal from Messi and Julian, I believe the team deserve the winning. Australia has a lot to do in building their team, their attacking should have been more aggressive in such a match as they defend more.

This game could have turned to a nightmare for Argentina in fact. Because Australia wasted a huge opportunity to score in the last seconds of the game. It was an absolute goal chance on a one-on-one with the goalkeeper but Martinez saved it really great. Even if they played extra time I was still going to favour Argentina of course. But if Australia managed to carry the game to penalty shoot-outs then things could have been really interesting. Messi missed a penalty in the previous game and missing one here would have been a fiasco.

I will be waiting for Argentina to be victorious against Netherlands also. Argentina have a better attacking line on paper. Most probably, we can watch a goal duel there. Both teams to score and Argentina win are nice choices for this game I think.

There is no doubt about good performance and quality game from Australia as most of the time they were dominating in this game, but luck was not with them just because of this Argentina able to win this match and now qualify for the quarterfinal of this game against the Netherlands but things now really going to test for them because they are going to face quality team which is also at their best for this spot and now want to end in last four which is surely not easy for the both teams.

Australia were having good performance and quality game, but things were not in their favour, so they lost against Argentina and now their campaign is also ended with this result of 2 - 1 but still they need to improve their quality for having better results in next world cup which is going to play into three countries with 48 teams and surely this is going to be one of the best event in soccer history.

Australia is not in a condition that can keep up with Argentina, their quality is much different from Lionel Scaloni's team, the second goal occurred due to the goalkeeper making a mistake by trying to make a risky move, while the game was dominated by Argentina, Lionel Messi made a big impact on the match this time and managed to score one goal using a pass from Nicolas Otamendi. Next, Argentina will face the Netherlands, this is just the right stage of the test for the team Tango, because they have quite equal opponents.

Australia has worked hard to mobilize all its energy to provide resistance against Argentina, that can be proven by Australia by scoring 1 goal against Argentina with a narrow score of 2 - 1 won by Argentina, congratulations to Argentina and the next step in the top 8 Argentina will be against the Netherlands where it is are the underdog team

In my view the game was basically decided by the mistake of the Australian goal keeper.

You just can't make those mistakes at this level, it is really unfortunate for Australia, but the Argentineans players managed to score from that with all their experience and skill.

At the end of the day this is the world cup, the most prestigious and competitive tournament in the world, so there's no space for mistakes here.

I agree, that is the kind of mistake I could accept at the amateur level but not on a world cup, this is supposed to be the tournament that brings the best of the world to compete for the glory and the goalkeeper of Australia makes that mistake? While they did their best and there was a lapse of time in which they put Argentina in some trouble, especially near the end of the game, the truth is that a team that makes such a mistake does not deserve to move to the next round no matter how good they are.

It is true that the result of the match could have been different If that goal wasn't happen. I also initially thought it was just a goalkeeper's mistake but now I don't just blame the goalkeeper for that goal because I think their defenders were also at fault, there were already a few Argentinian players but he took a the risk to pass goal keeper. Even though Australia lost I think their performance wasn't that bar against a big team like Argentina .

True extra time is very likely and even the match must be passed through a penalty shootout, team with the best kicker will be able to step into the quarterfinals, if the match has to go through such stages then everything is like going back to the beginning and it is difficult to predict who will win, but just like you I hope the Netherlands win it's all just because I bet on them.

The Netherlands is going to win in today's game after full time. They will crush USA without stress.. Personally, I feel that they are the strongest team in the World Cup. From their style of play, confidence, aggression and defence one can easily tell that they came with a winning mindset. As a matter of fact, I expect Cody to score because I want him to be awarded the highest goal scorer at the end of the tournament.

I am coming back to this because I said it earlier and some users thought I was never going to happen. As a matter of fact Netherlands was comfortably ahead in the first half with 2 goals. Sadly, my expectation of Gakpo finding the back of the net in this games didn't happen. Maybe next game. I will say it again, the Netherlands is the strongest team in the World cup and will most likely be in the finals. On the other hand we know that Australia is going to give Argentina a run for their money. That team is damn resilient.

Louis Van Gaal has the experience to guide them to the finals I believe
But you have to take it back that Netherland are the strongest and most likely to win that is no way correct
Even if they are they can not win the World Cup . I will agree if they should beat Argentina

USA were unfortunate today, they have a young team, they’ll have to go prepare and come back in 2026.

USA is a big country, but we haven't seen USA in the list of world cup winners since 1930. It is possible that in 2026 USA is also not present as a winner. If we look at today's young players, Brazil is one of the countries that has produced young, European-class players. When it comes to sports, especially in the field of football, Europe is the benchmark. Most of the world's stars play in the European class.

The netherland is the first Quarter Finalist
The netherlands have reached to the final thrice in the history - but has never won the world cup

I think Netherlands will not lose their next match, because i believe that next team in line that Netherlands will play with is going to be with Spain, and it is believable that Netherlands will can't withstand Spain the way I'm seeing the methods Spain plays and the methods Netherlands plays also. It's not for being a first to emerge finalists in the world cup, because everyone knows that U.S.A have no good performance in soccer games, so many people knew that Netherlands will not withstand Spain if they meet.

What a game that was between argentina and australia especially on those last minutes a lot of missed chances from both sides especially argentina and they almost payed the price if it wasn't for their goalkeeper who pulled a stunning save in the last minutes of the game, they will face netherland in the quarter final that will be a really good game.

It's going to be a very good and fascinating game. Both teams have shown a high level of skill in their play to meet in the quarterfinals. The game will be exciting because both teams will make every effort to advance to the competition's semifinals. So far, the competition has been unpredictable, and I expect this match to be the same.

Another reason Asian and African countries have managed to qualify for the round of the last 16 and managed to beat a strong European team is because they realize they are facing a very strong team, so they put all their energy and focus in every match, plus their fans are also aware of facing a European team very difficult, so the fans don't want to burden the players, the fans never criticize the players, even though they lost when they faced European teams, while European teams always looked at teams from Asia and Africa as weak, maybe because of that factor the European team was eliminated from the world cup.

Yes, I believe this is also a possibility.
I believe that many countries around the world are training and taking football seriously, it's not just some European countries and some countries in Latin America. Asian and African countries are evolving and the level of their football.
Another example was Brazil's last game, which practically started with the reserve team (or most of the players were reserves). He managed to play against Cameroon, but in the last minutes, Cameroon scored the goal

Argentina are about to be Netherlands' opponent in quarter final round. Argentina would still have the upper hand on them as well because Netherlands don't seem very reliable in defense still.

Probably the Netherlands team will face Argentina in the next round. But these two groups have the same problem. Both their attacks are strong but their defenses are weak. There is no reason to think that Argentina's defense is strong. They lost against KSA due to poor defense. In today's match, they conceded a goal against Australia only because of a defender's mistake. Therefore, the Netherlands vs Argentina match will be one of the most competitive matches of this year's World Cup.

When it comes to football we all know USA is not a strong country, I was suprised they even qualified from group stage, but I knew they won't go far, I knew USA is going to lose today's match against Netherlands. USA is one of the least country which I believe can win world cup for now.

Even this year I believe Netherlands won't still win the world cup, with their performance I don't think they can win the world cup this year, the only thing that can make them win is if they are lucky, because in football anything can happen. Argentina are already winning Australia 2-1, if Argentina can win then they will be facing Netherlands in their next match which I don't believe Netherlands will win Argentina.

Argentina's second goal came due to a big mistake by Australia's goalkeeper. He tried to make very risky moves while there were two Argentina players around him and he failed. It must be one of the easiest goals for Alvarez. Grin

We are clearly seeing that Australia can't take a big pressure much. Argentina needed to raise the pressure level to secure the win and it is what they have done so far. This is still an achievement for Australia to reach this round of course. Because they weren't among the favourites to qualify from their group.

Argentina are about to be Netherlands' opponent in quarter final round. Argentina would still have the upper hand on them as well because Netherlands don't seem very reliable in defense still.
