I saw in this thread people were talking about Ronaldo and Messi playing in the 2026 World Cup. But I think the recent games we see will definitely change our minds, Ronaldo couldn't save his team. In fact, Ronaldo played in the game against Slovenia for the Portugal national team in which they lost the game with a 2-0 result, but he couldn't do anything and he couldn't help the team. However, was very mad in this match and he said the referee was guilty for this result.
Now we understand why people keep saying one player cannot save the whole team even if that player is a true superstar but one player cannot do anything by himself. Also, this is another reason to say Ronaldo is old and he can't have good performances like his old days and he can't even help his team in the 2026 World Cup or the other tournaments.

Seeing the Asian teams having a surge in their love towards football is great. Normally we see them in other sports that they enjoy, and they are great there, but they do not care about football as much as we do, and that's why it's such a tough thing for a title team to come out of there.
Are you referring to the Indonesia vs Vietnam match or other Asian qualifier matches? I don't think you can calculate their love for football from their results tho, unless they spare no effort to run or make a decent pass in a match. In my country, I don't feel like supporters' love towards their national team is gone, the problem is the federation in charge made too many mistakes that affect the quality of the national team. Not sure if this will ever improve, I guess time will tell whether the good track record is sustainable or not.
Most of the developing countries are suffering from many problems with their sports policies are also not good which are not creating room for the development in the game even good chance of grooming, but things have never been ideal too much corruption and political influence are hurting them badly.
FIFA is trying his best for the development of this game in Asian region which is the biggest market by population but right now things are not going as they needed which is big setback for them with internal issues are also creating no chance of development even few countries are having good leagues which are good for them with they can get good talent which is surely going to increase quality and popularity of the game in this region.

Not that there would be any now, almost every world cup winner will be either a European team or a Latin American team, that's always the case, but at least we are now seeing other continents to send teams that can beat or go out of the group stages, which is fine and makes it more fun. Not at the championship level yet, but it is good to have like last sixteen or even maybe quarter finals, that means there is an improvement all around the world.
When it comes to global football, the Asian national teams are usually considered to be behind other national teams from other continents like Europe, South America Africa and sometimes below their North American counter parts but considering their recent performances, it's believed that quality of football in the continent have improved significantly.
In the last FIFA World Cup, we saw great performances from Asian teams like Saudi Arabia which was unlike them before the World Cup. They're yet to win the FIFA World Cup in history but considering the current growth of football in the continent, there's a possibility that one of them will end them will win it in the nearest future but definitely not in the next edition of you ask me

Vietnam vs Indonesia continues the World Cup (AFC) qualifying match.
Indonesia managed to beat Vietnam when they were the home team but only by a narrow score and Indonesia had to win this match to continue to have the opportunity to qualify for the next round of this qualification.
This second match against Vietnam will certainly be different, moreover, Vietnam still has the same chance of getting to the third round so this will be an important match for both teams.
I hope Indonesia wins this match even though they are not favorites in the betting market, but being able to beat Vietnam twice in a row will increase the confidence of the Indonesian squad to win again.
The victory against Vietnam make Indonesian team one step closer qualifying to the next round as runner up standings position behin Iraq national team, its very good result become the first time since 20 years ago the last time Indonesian team can defeated Vietnam and make Shin Tae-yong success become the first manger after twenty years ago take three points on Vietnam's home. Next match Indonesian team has opportunity for securing next round place if can beat Iraq on their home, I think two winning back to back against Vietnam at home and away match give more motivate for Indonesian team continue the winning trend on their home.
Indonesia team has two matches left and take three points is enough to secure one place on third round qualifier, wish Indonesia has opportunity for the first time will play in FIFA World Cup after new regulation additional teams up to 48 participants.
It only takes one win to ensure that Indonesia advances to the next round. If the result is a draw against Iraq, the opportunity will be wider and we hope that against the Philippines we can get full points, no matter the previous match with a draw between Infonesia vs Philippines at least, at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Indonesia.  can get the points they want and the supporters will be happy and it will be a sweet history for all Indonesian supporters, but I still hope that the match against Iraq will be with the squad that Indonesia currently has and is complete with players who have so much playing time.  , so at least a narrow victory can occur in the next match.

Brazil play two matches under new coach supervision and have won one against England at the Wembley, and then they ended on draw against Spain at the Santiago Bernabéu mean now things are coming back on track even this all is too early long way to go for them but as we watch their quality had good improvement and players confidence level is also high, so this could be good for the ending of too many rumors which were going around due to their recent poor results in few matches.

Friendly matches could give an idea about the potential change in the future of the team performance but it doesn't mean that there will be certainly a change.
I am pretty much disappointed from Brazilian national team results in the previous months. There was some changes done and we hope they will get back their form. When you see the quality of the old players and the current ones, you see a huge gap with Ronaldo9, Roberto Carlos, Kaka, Ronaldinho and the others comparing to the new ones.
Here I agreed with your all view but with this now we need to check few other things as well like this gape of quality is not happening only for the Brazil it's also happening for the many other teams as well like Germany and Italy which are going down with things are also not stable in long run.
Brazil's these friendlies were just for the things to be checked and have fix in near future because we all know these friendlies are never been going to work for the big event matches which are play by teams with full force and these are just for the practice or maintaining their strategy with all players those are going to be part of the future team but still we have some positive change which will work for them, and they will be able to have good results.

Even the fact that Belgium is above Brazil is silly, of course Brazil is a better team but they had a bad period and that's why I think it's quite important to remember that we are not going to see them do this badly all that commonly, it will be just fine for them in the end. I just think that the best thing to do with what we have right now is to just focus on what we can make.

I believe that betting on Brazil is still a great way to go, and that means we are going to probably see them do fine, it should not be all that hard. I think betting on them to win the whole world cup could be far fetched, but expecting them to do fine in other games could be better, they are still Brazil and they will beat other teams, aside from maybe Argentina.

Well, I have seen that Brazil has not been playing very well in the last few games, they have been losing against teams that I did not believe could win, in fact, they have the best players they have in Europe, they have young promises, and it is presumed that there are one who is told that he is Pelé's successor, but the truth is I don't see him with those eyes, I don't see him doing things as such to deserve that, however now the Brazilian team is in crisis, I think it's also because he has many of his players who have not had much action, among them Neymar, because in the last game that was with Colombia they lost, sometimes this is something that does not look very good.

In fact, it is presumed, it is not certain that Pep Guardiola can lead this team on the way to the World Cup, he is between San Marino and a couple of other teams that are interested in Pee's services, honestly this would change the face of the Brazilian team.

Brazil without doubt haven't been as consistent as they're supposed to be considering the quality players the national team and that's why they're below Belgium in FIFA rankings. The reason behind Brazil's poor results is simply because of the inexperience of the coach of the team and not because they don't have the needed quality of players to be ranked as the best team in world football.
Tomorrow evening, they play against the Three Lions of England at the famous Wembley stadium and because the English team will be playing at home, many are of the opinion that Brazil will be beaten tomorrow. I don't have full confidence when it comes to the Brazilian team of how bad their manager have been and I think the best thing the country's football authorities try and get another manager that can handle the Brazil national team perfectly.

Well, actually the things that can happen are very good if they decide to put a coach, don't believe it, Pep Guardiola would be the ideal coach for Caraninha, for me Brazil has the best team in the world, wherever you see it they have quality, They have the best defenders, the best attackers, the best midfielders, but they have not found the ideal coach, I remember the Lobo Zagalo era, that Brazil was another level, in the last friendship between Brazil and Spain it was 3 to 3, I saw a better Brazil.

I am sure that Brazil will do a very good job in the next matches that are coming up, because they have a very high level, so the next phase of the playoffs will be open, but we cannot forget that a great day of football is coming, the Cup America, the Euro is coming, we will see these teams playing great football, this excites me.

Now we will have Copa América after few months which are going to be big test for the new coach and these players after this we will be having preparation for the next world cup which is another big test case but as we have some improvement we can expect good results and improvement into their game which can bring good results and smile on faces of their fans.

Endrick scoring a goal at this age is definitely amazing, and he was with Vinicious Jr when he did, it was the rebound of his shot, so they celebrated together. Endrick is one of the main reasons why I believe that Mbappe may not be a great choice, or he might be not sure.

Because they have Vini at left, and Jude at behind the striker, and Rodrygo at right side, so at the striker position they will either have Mbappe or Endrick, they already paid top money for Endrick anyway, so not getting him is not an option anymore, Mbappe would be futile there. Doesn't mean that he is not better, Mbappe is definitely better than Endrick, at least for now, but that doesn't mean that they "need" him, it would be too expensive for no good.

Endrick is a much easier person to get along with than Mbappé, just look at all the behavior that Mbappé has had in recent years, especially with his teammates, maybe he could end up in a good team environment in one of his “ego attacks” . ... I wouldn't sign Mbappé for my team, despite his talent, what counts most is the daily interaction with the other players.

In this way, Indonesia has the opportunity to remain in comfortable position and still be able to continue to advance to the next round of World Cup qualification in the Asian zone.
Is Philiphine a strong team? I remember seeing them lose to Vietnam in this qualifier, so I believe that would be the priority for Indonesia if they want to go through the qualifier. Seeing Iraq win 5-0 against the Philippines might affect how they play against Indonesia, but it shouldn't differ much as long as Indonesia's team doesn't change too many players. If I'm not wrong, they fielded many new players against Vietnam, if they can improve their teamwork they should be able to play better against Iraq or the Philippines.

it is even more convincing that Indonesia is experiencing very good development so far, no longer being a team that is easy to beat but becoming a team that must be taken into account by any team,
Do you think the nationalization strategy will be sustainable in the long run? I'm not confident if we see a change of leadership or coach in the national team this good trend will continue. I guess time will tell if the national sports organization will continue to prioritize our national team's development or if they will focus more on making money through deals, ads, etc.

It was really unexpected because Indonesia actually managed to beat Vietnam away with score of 0 - 3 and this was big victory for Indonesia because this victory was the first time Indonesia was able to win over Vietnam away.
This was long wait because it had been 20 years this is the first time big away win has been possible.
With this victory, it is clear that Indonesia still has the opportunity to advance to the next round of World Cup qualification, making everyone, especially the Indonesian people, have high hopes for their proud team.
Happy to see the Indonesian national team successfully beat Vietnam and this time with a convincing score and because this is an away match, it is even more convincing that Indonesia is experiencing very good development so far, no longer being a team that is easy to beat but becoming a team that must be taken into account by any team, including Iraq is the strongest team in this group, maybe in the match in June Indonesia will have difficulty beating Iraq but they will be motivated to at least get one point especially since the match against Iraq is a home match where Indonesia will get full support from Indonesian football fans in the future so it will further motivate them to perform well and try to get maximum results.

Now Indonesia has managed to save 7 points and has difference of 5 points from Iraq which is the strongest team in Group F, Iraq itself in the 4 matches that have been played in total they have managed to win overall and Iraq is the toughest opponent for Indonesia.
Furthermore, at the beginning of June, Indonesia will compete against Iraq, it is clear that Iraq is not an easy opponent for Indonesia, so preparations must really be made to be able to play this match as well as possible.
If they are not able to beat Iraq, at least Indonesia must be able to draw in this match to still be able to have an additional point even if only one, with draw they can also maintain the difference in points obtained by Iraq.
In this way, Indonesia has the opportunity to remain in comfortable position and still be able to continue to advance to the next round of World Cup qualification in the Asian zone.

Brazil has a lot of good players we can say without a doubt and every national team and club level is filled with Brazilian stars. However, the Brazil team is currently in a very bad position in the FIFA rankings, and their position and style of play can only be attributed to their coach. If there is an experienced coach in Brazil, then they will definitely be in a good position in the FIFA ranking and they will have a chance to win the World Cup. All the Brazilian stars are very popular all over the world and they are currently reigning in the big clubs and Brazil is a strong team and they are the highest World Cup winners. But tomorrow's game against England is really good for Brazil because it's really good for Brazil to beat England in England. The Brazilian star's playing system is fine, but if an experienced coach pays more attention to football, the national team will definitely be stronger and have more chances to win the World Cup.
Brazil have many youth talented players and depend with their manager Dorival Júnior brave or not giving them regular position and playing on the first minutes, last match Real Madrid's striker Endrick success give the winning goal against England and make him self on the name list of youth players scoring the goals for senior teams. International friendly match help Brazil return back to the top FIFA ranking after out from ten top position, in other side Dorival Júnior can give more minutes for youth players to get regular position and will be ready for official tournament such as Copa America and FIFA World Cup matches.
Brazil national team have one match left on international break out, after winning against England last match and three days later will face Spain on friendly match, will Dorival Júnior give regular position for Endrick and some youth players in this match?

In fact, Brazil is a country where you can always find talent and young players in this country but these players need someone to coach them and guide them to have better performance in the team. Endrick is one of these players.
In the game between England and Brazil, Endrick the young, 17-year-old player of Brazil scored the goal for his team ten minutes after he got the chance to play in this math.
This happened in Wembley stadium and now Endrick is the youngest player who scored a goal in Wembley. It was his first goal for Brazil in his life.
I think Real Madrid should be very happy because Vinicius Junior made the assist for this goal.




Brazil's young talents are very good but I always long for the old legendary squad. Ronaldinho, R9, R.Carlos, Kaka, Robinho, Cafu, Dida... But it's not about missing the old, that squad had a truly unique talent and splendour. If we miss the old, we would praise other old squads as well. Old squat of brazil had 10 times the splendour and quality. Each of them was an iconic player of the club he played for. The current players don't have that. They were by far the favourites in the world cups and dominated the tournaments. No one sees the current brazil as favourites, they don't dominate. They are even behind most European teams.

This is true, there really isn't this type of legendary player anymore, the ones that are left are already veterans...

But this phenomenon happens with all teams, you see, years ago the Italy team was made up of Pirlo, Maldini, Vieri , Buffon and many others, England had Owen, Beckham, Scholes, France had Thuram, Zidane, Henry... All the great teams had legendary players, today there is no longer that in any national team

This doesn't just happen with the Brazilian team

This situation in Brazil makes me sad about this team and the young players they have.
In Brazil they have many young talents like Vini and Endrick and but these players need better coaches. You can just understand this when you see a player like Vinicius play in Real Madrid with a better coach he has really improved and helped this player to have better performance but unfortunately, he doesn't have a good coach in Brazil, otherwise, he could have even had better performance than this.
Regardless of that, in the 2026 World Cup, I'm waiting to see a good performance from Endrick because he will be a bit more experienced than this which can help this player to have a good performance.

From what I say in the game between Brazil and England, the Samba Boys are set to conquer the world just as they did in 1994 and 2002. They have some young players who are fast, strong and experienced. England would have conceived more goals if not for some blunders and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. The biggest threat to the Brazilian side is the attack made up of young stars like Rodrygo, V. Júnior, Raphinha and the discovery of Endrick.

The English team didn't play badly because they were able to also push forward and test the Brazilian goalie Bento. But they still have much work to do at the back because we saw some defenders specifically Harry Maguire making some costly mistakes. This World Cup will be action-backed based on the performance of some national teams in these friendly games.

Apparently the Belgian national team missed their best chance in 2014 and 2018. Not only De Bruyne and Lukaku were in their best form there, but also Azar, Carasco, Courtois, Kompany, Vertonghen.
This team was probably the best Belgium national team for many years, but I think the Belgium national team made a mistake with the choice of head coach, in the beginning Wilmots did well, but he got in the way of Argentina and then in 2016 at the Euros was a failure at all, but Martinez could not fully reveal the potential of that star team of Belgium.
Tedesco is doing well so far, but as rightly noted the players he has at his disposal are much weaker than those who played in 2014-2020 for Belgium.

Yep, the 2018 World Cup was actually the best opportunity for Belgium to win their first World Cup.
Unfortunately their progress was stopped by France in the semifinals and had to settle for third place after beating England.
And in the 2022 World Cup they couldnt even get past the group stage because the Golden Generation is starting to age, their stamina is no longer what it used to be and they are prone to injury.
It is time for Belgium to restart the Golden Generation project if they want to go further in the World Cup and Euro cup.
