The England team could not perform as brilliantly as in the first match today. They played well against Iran in the first match. And got a great 6-2 win. We dominated the England players in the whole match. I saw but they are not able to perform very well against the USA in today's match. They could not score any goals in the first half. Despite several good attacks, they could not score. On the other hand, the performance of the USA players is quite good. They are trying to score from the counterattack. And so the players of England are not able to play completely attacking. The USA will be able to score if they find any weaknesses in England's defenders.

Do you predict Qatar will win when playing against the Netherlands? Are you serious?
Even though Qatar wins, in reality there is no more chance for Qatar to qualify, even though Qatar is the host but that doesn't mean the opponent will feel sorry for it and let it win. Because if that happened then it might be called elephant football or there was match fixing or bribes, corruption or whatever cheating was involved, and I don't think that would happen.

I personally really believe that the Netherlands will still win against Qatar and leave Qatar not having any points in this event, that is natural and it is not just about an investment.
If the host country is obligated to win in events like this and no other team is allowed to beat it, then what is the competition for? Losing and winning in a competition is natural, and the defeat that the home team has experienced does not mean that they have suffered the full loss. Because after all, the income they get is not only from team wins, but from the many visitors and other markets where the hosts still have income received.

I don't have to argue your analysis because it is based on facts and it is likely going to play out. In the World Cup anyone that loses the first match is at high risk of dropping out of the group stage. Argentina and Germany have failed to win their first match this means that the possibility of any of them or both of them to drop out of the group stage is very high.
My favourites are Brazil, France and England is the order of my arrangement. Let us see how England will be able to USA this night.

If we do have to predict the winners, then I think Argentina and Germany will drop out. There is a significant chance that both teams will not even make it through the group stage. Argentina could still manage against Mexico and Poland, but Germany had to beat Spain and I don't see that happening anytime soon. Brazil, England, France and Spain are my top favorites at the moment. Other countries are not even close to their level so far. Odds for Brazil are around 3.50 for the final victory.

I watched the second halftime on the game Netherland against Ecuador and wow the Netherland was lucky in the end that not lost this game.
Guess we will see Ecuador for sure in the next round if they keep playing has they have done the last 2 games.
Netherland striker Memphis was not really seen in this game and a bit disappointing in my eyes.

Already, there was a draw in the game. Senegal is in third place with 3 points, while the Netherlands and Ecuador are tied on points. The Netherlands' upcoming encounter will be against the host country, and I predict that they will win. Senegal and Ecuador will play in the crucial and most intense game to decide who moves on to the next round of the competition. A draw in the encounter between Ecuador and Senegal will go in Ecuador's favor; nevertheless, I think Senegal won't be content with a draw and will instead want to win.

After the Netherlands gave Senegal two zeros on Monday, Ecuador beat Qatar, the two teams are the first winners from the first game, and Valencia in Ecuador has made it a tradition to always score since the qualifiers, he is really dedicated to taking his country to victory. Netherlands vs. Ecuador: I'm not surprised because the two teams are good, ending it with a draw. Predicting a draw between Ecuador vs Senegal on the 29th of November indicates that the match is going to be difficult to predict after the Netherlands gave Senegal two zeros in their last match.

Ecuador played very well against the Netherlands. The goal that VAR canceled at the end of the first half is a controversial decision. In the second half, there was a Netherlands who met their opponent in their own court. Ecuador did the unexpected and played superior football against the opponent. I wanted Ecuador to win the match because when I look at the football played, Ecuador deserved it. Valencia left the game with an injury, I hope he does not have a serious injury. I think Valencia still has a lot of goals to score. I'll be sad if he can't play.

We are just at the beginning of the tournament, but I think the goal of the tournament has already been scored by Richarlison (https://twitter.com/BBCSport/status/1595878992326070272). I definitely want to see a better goal in this tournament, but I don't think we can see a better goal than this. :)

In the 1986 world cup, Maradona scored a goal by hand. In the 1994 world cup final, Roberto Baggio missed a penalty. World Cups always have iconic moments that stay in mind. If Brazil win the cup, Richarlison's goal could be one of them.

The Netherlands - Ecuador match is going on pretty interesting. Including bookmakers, so many people were thinking like Netherlands would be in control and win this match. But there is a very different scenario at the moment. After scoring first I thought that Netherlands would take control of the match early. But this just fired up Ecuador even more. They have found so many goal chances so far and finally scored the equalizer also. First, Estupinan's goal in the final moments of the first half was disallowed by VAR due to offside.

However Ecuador still scored the goal in the first minutes of the second half. E. Valencia scored it again! He has 3 goals in 2 matches already and he is definitely among the players who have drawn a lot of attention to themselves already.

Right now the Netherlands team has scored the first goal and is taking advantage of the match against Ecuador. If the Netherlands ends with a victory, Qatar will be surely eliminated from the group. But how do the Qatari people in the host country feel? This is a very bad investment for Qatar.

Stoppage or injury time looks strange indeed if this is just the normal league competition. It appears to be exaggerated since we got used to five minutes or less but the FIFA organization already explained this. They claim they count the time wasted by the players and the time wasted because of the game. I don't exactly know how they do that but let's just say they have a more accurate way of counting. Unfortunate timing to implement that for Wales who were reduced to ten men with the send-off of Hennessey in the 86th minute

Senegal win against Qatar just opened the group between three countries. Sadly Qatar has set some unwanted records; being the first host country to lose there opening ceremony and now the first to lose both 2 games. Could also be the second team to get knocked out of the world Cup in group stage of Netherlands gets a point against Ecuador.

Netherlands already ahead with a goal from Gakpo. Will he be the dark horse to win the golden boot in this years edition.

Honestly, they are such a big football nation that just one player would mean nothing. Firmino is a player they didn't even get, he would be the star of some other nations whereas he was not even called up for Brazil, think of how rich with talent a nation has to be that Firmino would be considered excess to the team.

So, if Neymar misses a game or two, they will not be really bothered by it by that much, sure it would be annoying, people would love to watch Neymar play and it's always a good view, but at the end of the day they have more than 11 players that can play, they will just replace him with someone else and they will keep on winning every single game.

The first matches in the world cup have been completed. Very nice, enjoyable, exciting matches were played. It was noted that there were no red cards in the matches of the first week. This is an interesting situation. Everyone was surprised that the favorite teams lost. There were also many surprise results. Football is a sport where there are a lot of surprises. We have seen this in the World Cup as well.
After the first week of matches, the results for me are as follows:

Best match: Portugal v Ghana
Best goal: Richarlison
Best player: Bellingham
Best team: Spain

Qatar did lose its chance to qualify for the group phase. it is difficult for Qatar to be at this level. although in terms of their game they have improved from their efforts to host. but dealing with strong teams in their group, it is clear that it will make it difficult for Qatar to compete.
Next up is the Netherlands vs Ecuador, both of them won in their first match. I think the game will end in a draw, or maybe a narrow win for the Netherlands.

I watched the game between Brazil and Serbia and i was really impressed about Serbia how good they have played for a long time.
In the second halftime Brazil was getting better and better and i guess we dont have to talk about the last goal , it was just awesome.
By the way Senegal have won against Qatar now with 3 scored goals , at least Qatarmanaged to score there first goal in this World Cup.

Since Senegal and Qatar both lost to Ecuador, I knew right away that Qatar could not defeat Senegal. Having an automatic ticket was the only way Qatar could have advanced to this level, and I enjoy games like this that are simple to predict while playing the slots. This world cup is just to challenging for Qatar to go far, but you know football is difficult to predict.

Very much different. That Ronaldo (Brazil) and Miroslav Klose have experience in their respective countries, and have different fans, but if you see that Ronaldo's (Brazil) skills are far superior to Miroslav Klose, Ronaldo (Brazil) can actually shift the top record Miroslav Klose's score, because it was physically impossible for Ronaldo (Brazil) which made his body start to get fat and his performance also decreased and made him hang up his boots at that time, and in the end Ronaldo (Brazil) could not catch up with Miroslav Klose's top score have so far...

in my opinion both messi and cristiano ronaldo had the same performances, they didn't surpass each other, i say that based on the number of goals that each 1 scored, the number of goals each one scored in this world cup would be a good point for measuring the performance of the two players in this world cup, because from what I can see scoring goals in this world cup is not an easy task, as it is not an easy task so it is a good way to measure the performance of attacking players, unfortunately on the side of messi things are not good because they lost in the first game and if they don't win against mexico then they can pack their bags to go back to argentina


this was a strange result, because the two goals they scored were in the 90th + 8th and 90th + 11th minutes. minutes of compensation time? there are games with few stoppages, with few cases of stoppages but even so the referees have given 10 minutes of compensation, something that I simply think is a great exaggeration, could it be that all this compensation time was something that fifa decided that it should be like in the world cup? and how the hell wales conceded 2 goals in 3 minutes of compensation? I didn't watch the whole game, so I didn't see the last minutes of the game, but this defeat is very abnormal
