Well... I was joking when I posted that Brazil may miss qualification for the FIFA World Cup of 2026. But even if they qualify as the 3rd or 4th ranked team, it is going to be a big humiliation for them. Brazil used to be the no.1 ranked team for so many decades. Their recent decline was quite unexpected. And even more insulting for them is the fact that their traditional rivals (Argentina) has now become the no.1 team replacing them. Brazil used to be a well balanced team, not overdependent on any one player. But that has also changed, with a lot of burden now falling on Neymar.

That would be a shocking thing to see. Brazil is the only country in the world that has managed to qualify to every single edition of the world cup.

That is an incredible achievement, and I don't think they have any chances of not qualifying for the next one.

Indeed this is not an ideal position for a team like Brazil, which always manages to ensure a place in the main round of the World Cup and is the country with the most World Cup titles. It could be that this will be the worst season in Brazilian football even though they have many players spread across the big leagues, but in reality, they have experienced three consecutive defeats which makes it difficult for them to improve their ranking.
Player injuries may be the cause but there could be other factors, for example, because their current coach, Fernando Diniz, has not been able to make his team appear compact so they are easy to beat.
Losing to Argentina was quite disappointing even though they had more opportunities than Argentina but unfortunately, their strikers were weak in finishing, so they couldn't reply to Argentina's goal.

Brazil in past times have been known to be the home of football. They have this ability of making football fun and over the years they've been victorious in a higher percentage of their encounters with other teams, currently Brazilian football play has depreciated and their stand in the world cup qualifies isn't so befitting for such a highly placed team.

Maybe the season is not so favourable for them but truthfully, Brazil are not performing rightly, they've lost a few of their games and it's taking them beneath the standings, the coach needs to do more work in team building and set up, the team needs to get back their old self, they need to be back to the Brazil the world once knew.

They're a different Brazil and sadly it's negatively different, there are quality players in the team that only needs a right hand to groom and in no time, they'll be back to the normalcy they're known for, Brazil still has time to meet up and secure their qualification for the World Cup, let's wait to see how subsequent encounters would turn out for them.

@QueenVera to say I’m disappointed with how Brazil is performing is an understatement because I’m literally horrified to see their performances stoop so low and for their sake I hope they immediately recover or their fans won’t forgive them for a very long time. Lastly Messi showed class by intervening against the police and the fans and I’m glad the situation got under control but I hope that FIFA will investigate this and prevent this from ever happening again.

Brazil still have time but if they can not wake up from now, play better, they will be disqualified for World Cup 2026. It is a surprise to see they perform so bad in latest matches and are facing with big risk to watch World Cup 2026 through televisions.

Since the last World Cup 2022, their national team shown that they no longer have enough star players like they used to have. Only Neymar is not enough and the player is going to a down side of his career with ageing issues and injury problems. They still have Vinicius Jr. but it seems he is a brightest attacking star player they have, again a single player is not enough. In midfield area, it's hard to find players who are at world class level. In defense, a same or even worse issue, they still have to use very old defender like Thiago Silva.

The Brazilian team never expected to perform as they committed too many fouls from the start of the game, and although Argentina attacked the team, the Brazilian team did not have the strikers to cross the finish line. Rodrigo took a kick towards the Argentina goalpost but was unsuccessful. Brazil and Argentina attacked the goalpost with a total of 8 kicks, but Argentina received a corner kick and headed the ball into the goal. However, the Argentine team made the finish line much better. In the absence of Neymar, Brazil team performed very badly because the control was not right.

In each of the World Cup qualifiers where Brazil is an overwhelming team, there is considerable doubt about Brazil's qualification to the main stage of the World Cup. Argentina is number one in the group stage but Brazil is number 7. If the team that has won the World Cup five times is at number 7 then it is very inconsistent. Brazil could not announce the team with their best players in the team announcement as many important players are out of the field due to injuries. Against Argentina Brazil did well in the first half but in the second half they did not do well although Brazil made a strong attack but the Argentinian goalkeeper saved the attack. Now it is to be seen how well Brazil can improve their position from this number seven position.

Indeed this is not an ideal position for a team like Brazil, which always manages to ensure a place in the main round of the World Cup and is the country with the most World Cup titles.

Argentina vs Brazil match was played till the last minute, but Brazil lost against Argentina. Brazil lost 1-0 to world champions Argentina, with both teams attacking well from the start of the game until half-time as both teams battled it out. But after half-time, the attacks were more for both sides, but Argentina set the ball very well, due to which Brazil could not keep the ball in the net. But the Argentina team scored a goal in the 63rd minute of the game to lead the team, then Brazil fell far behind, and at the end of the match, the Brazilian team lost the points. Moreover, one of Brazil's players got red carded for fouling, and then Brazil couldn't make any strong attacks, which may have caused them to lose today's match. Brazil is currently in a bad position in the points table of the World Cup qualifiers, they are in the 7th position with 7 points. Currently, Brazil's position in the points table is very bad today's match could have been a draw, but unfortunately Brazil lost the match and lost points and are in a bad position.

LOL.. once again Argentina's supremacy over Brazil is proven. If the Brazilians are searching for excuses, then they will get dozens. For example, they can claim that Neymar was injured and therefore not available for the match, while for Argentina all of their star players were available including Lionel Messi, Julián Álvarez and Enzo Fernández. In the absence of Neymar, the burden fell on the shoulders of Gabriel Jesus, Raphinha, Rodrygo and Gabriel Martinelli. But they were unable to offer resistance against the strong Argentine squad.

Brazilian we know before is not the Brazilian we know now so theirs no excuse that Brazilian team can present as a point of excuse that will be acceptable by anyone, despite that they have squad like Argentina but I was expecting that the match would have be draw instead of the weight of the match weigh higher than Brazilian because of the pressure of Argentina, that's to say that Argentina is stronger than Brazil, even though Neymar was in the pitch Argentina will also win them, I since that lionel Messi do create another impact in their football team to make sure that they selected a fit players to their country team to ensure that they have win their counterpart outside of coach.

Brazil is far behind the next World Cup. Three defeats in a row. Although the start of the match was delayed by half an hour due to clashes between supporters, the match finally took off. After this match, it is understood that today's Brazil team is very different from the previous Brazil team. Brazil could not show much performance on the field in the absence of two stars. Meanwhile, it cannot be said that Argentina has played very well as a star-based team. Brazil put some attacks together which caused problems for Argentina's defence. But Brazil stopped at home as the reigning champions went ahead in the 63rd minute. Brazil completely lost control when they were sent off with a red card in the last ten minutes of the game and became a team of 10 men. Argentina were beaten by Uruguay in the end, but a win against Brazil gave them relief.

That was one of the most aggressive and interesting match I have seen. Both sides were just fighting for the ball and neither side was really able to flex their muscles throughout the first half with constant fouls creating a stop-start affair. I think Brazil had a plan to isolate Messi because he was even seen twice receiving attention to his right thigh.

There were less chances from the Brazilian side. They were without their two creators; Neymar and Vinicius. In fact neither side was really able to carve out any meaningful opportunities in the opening period, with Brazil committing 16 fouls early on to break down any fluidity to the game. The Brazil coach isn’t getting it right in this qualifiers. I expected a different approach to this game having conceded back-to-back defeats in World Cup qualifiers for the first time in their history. It’s going to be crazy if they don’t make it to the World Cup. It was also Brazil's first ever home loss in a World Cup qualifier. Because Argentina top the standings on 15 points with Brazil eight points behind in sixth place.

Isolating Messi is not going to work, because Argentina is not very dependent on him. If Brazil asks 2-3 of their defenders to mark Messi, then the other Argentine forwards such as Enzo Fernández and Julián Álvarez will be able to play with relative ease. And perhaps this is what cost them three points during the match between these two sides. Brazil is not in a good position at this point. They are at the 6th place with just 7 points. If they lose a few more matches, then there is a good chance that Brazil will not be a part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Argentina won today's match but Lionel Messi did not contribute much to make Argentina win today's match. Messi was not seen much against Brazil. Argentina team won today without relying on Messi. But you have to accept that several of Brazil's regular XI players were absent today against Argentina due to injuries. However, despite the absence of some players from the original XI, the XI that Brazil fielded against Argentina should definitely have earned at least one point. Although Brazil is slightly behind Argentina as a team, considering their home ground, Brazil was definitely ahead of Argentina, but Brazil could not take that home advantage. Against Argentina, Brazil committed the highest number of fouls as well as received the highest number of yellow cards, yet Argentina played at their best to secure victory against Brazil.

Brazil vs Argentina in just a few hours in Rio de Janeiro. Two wins and a draw from five matches saw Brazil move up to fifth place in World Cup qualifying with seven points and face a tough fight against the reigning world champions. The hosts lost 2-1 to Colombia in the last match. Meanwhile, after the first match of the World Cup against Saudi Arabia, the qualifiers suffered a 2-0 defeat to Uruguay for the first time. Argentina top the qualifiers with 12 points with four wins from five games and remain two points clear of second-placed Uruguay. Both teams are very strong but it doesn't look like it will be easy for the Brazilians to beat the world champions. I think the Argentina vs Brazil match is very likely to be a draw.

The start of the Brazil vs Argentina match was slightly delayed due to an altercation between Argentina fans and security staff in the gallery, which led to Messi leaving the field and heading to the dressing room before Argentina returned to the field when the situation cooled down. When Argentina returned to the game, both teams played a more attacking game from the start and early in the first half we saw two Brazilian players receive yellow cards and multiple fouls. Although no team was able to score in the first half, Argentina scored its first goal against Brazil in the 70th minute of the second half. After that, the game continued for a while, but at the end of the match, Brazilian defender Joelinton got a red card and left the field, then Brazil could not do much against Argentina, as a result of which Brazil lost 1-0 in this match against Argentina.

We know the teams like Iraq and Indonesia can't have good performances in the World Cup compared to the many other teams and they just try to play in the World Cup to improve their team and have a better situation in fact this match was not bad for the Indonesian national team because now they know the weakness in the team and this can help Indonesia to improve themself for the next tournaments they are going to have soon.

It true that they couldn't perform well in the World Cup and couldn't possibly even last long, but when they were able to qualify for the Asian zone then that was quite good achievement because Asia itself has many quite strong teams too.
And there is special pride in being able to qualify and compete in the real competition later, look at the many enthusiastic supporters of each country who want or hope that their proud national team will win and be able to qualify from the Asian zone.

I think Shin Tae-yong will coach the Indonesian national team and of course he will learn from the match against Iraq and today we will see Indonesia against the Philippines and I believe Indonesia has the potential to win that match, and I think Indonesia should be able to able to keep the back line tight. so that the opponent cannot break through and I think Indonesia can win if they can take advantage of the opportunities that exist and in my opinion Indonesia will have a big chance of scoring more goals. I'm sure R. Kambuaya and his friends will play well today. but I think Shin Tae-yong must improve the mentality of Indonesian players so that Indonesia's performance will be better.

However, I am also sure that the Philippines will not want to lose, let alone playing at home and the Philippines will definitely perform well in the next match because usually at home there will be more supporters.

However, I predict that Indonesia will win with a score of 4-1.

Yes, ShinTae-yong has to do that so that in the future they can show better results, after all the next match is still quite long and there is plenty of time and opportunity for them to practice.
We know that Iraq is much better than Indonesia, but it does not rule out the possibility that Indonesia can change everything to develop into more solid team and able to suppress Iraq game.

Regarding Indonesia vs Philippines, it only ended with score of 1 - 1 and this was pretty bad match for Indonesia because they should have won but instead they got draw.
With this draw, it makes it increasingly difficult for Indonesia to improve its position in Group F.

AFC qualifiers are going on with currently we have many matches in progress China suffering defeat against South Korea at home after end of the first half we have 0–2 Son score twice for his team at Shenzhen India going to host Qatar at Bhubaneswar after having surprising win against Kuwait in Kuwait which is surely big deal for the soccer fans in India even we still have long way to go, but things like these are doing good pump for the soccer in India.

Few matches already ended with Pakistan host first time any World Cup qualifier at home against Tajikistan and lost by big margin of 1–6 Turkmenistan leading against Hong Kong, and we have big won for the North Korea as well against Myanmar many good and entertaining matches are going to play in next few hours as well.

AFC qualifiers, due to the sheer size (there are a total of 46 participants) are spread out over several rounds. Yesterday there was a match between India and Qatar, which was won by Qatar by a margin of 3-0. It will further reduce the chances of India, given the fact they have only 4 matches remaining. If they can finish ahead of Kuwait, then they will qualify for the 3rd round. And for India, the next two matches are against the weakest team in the group (Afghanistan). Two wins there and decent performances against remaining matches against Qatar and Kuwait will see them qualifying for round 3.

Its second matches for both national teams and both of them have bad result on opening match of FIFA World Cup qualifier second round, Indonesia defeated by Iraq 5-1 and Philippine loss on the first home match against Vietnam. I don't sure with your goals predicting looks easily Indonesia team will win over 4-1 regarding that match will play unusual field as synthetic grass. Indonesian never have match play with this kinds of filed synthetic grass and need adaption well if want get three points against Philippine although on the paper is easily for three points achievement.

Indonesia's head coach Shin Tae-yong have answer public trusted after losing on the opening match and he should give first three points against Philippine if want secure his position as manager. As Indonesia fans hope my team will get first three points and make easily for next match against Vietnam.

Another disappointing result for the Indonesia as they fail to end deadlock and ended with draw against Philippine which was at his best in this game and after having early lead they have done good job in throughout match in second half Indonesia were good, and they give their best for the having another goal, but things were not into their way for the win and Philippine defense was also good which not allowed them to go through for the full three points into this match.

After poor start of their campaign now we are going for the long break in March we will have to start again with Indonesia will host Vietnam which is currently at the second spot into this group after one win and one lost.

Indonesia and the Philippines have fought well with a draw for Indonesia's match against the Philippines, both teams have experienced defeat when Indonesia was massacred by Iraq while the Philippines was defeated by Vietnam with a score of 2-0. so these two countries still have opportunities for the next.
Yes, in the future Indonesia will compete against Vietnam. I think Vietnam is a tough opponent, because last night, even though Vietnam lost to Iraq, Vietnam's performance was very good and only conceded 1 goal through M.A's kick in the last minute. But I think Indonesia still has a long time to improve its quality because the second round of the 2026 World Cup qualifying match against Vietnam is still a long way off, namely March 2024.
but in the near future we will see Indonesia against Iraq and Vietnam in the Asian Cup in January, I think with this match we can measure the strength of these countries in assessing and predicting what will happen in the second round of the 2026 World Cup qualifying matches.

Few hours later Philippine vs Indonesia

Philippine vs Indonesia seems to be one match that I sincerely can’t speak much of because I haven’t taken out my time to watch the Asian World Cup Qualifier matches, Indonesia lost to Iraq with over a 4 goal margin and also Phillipine lost to Vietnam with a 2 goal margin.

The match between them will be played in a synthetic grass and Indonesia aren’t used to playing there and you lnow what they say as professionals, you’ve to learn to adapt to situations and try to win your matches. Indonesia have a better record to Phillippine and should come out top but I think the venue for play would be a big barrier to them

With Indonesia fine knowledge of football and the field odds not being in their favour; they’ll probably give a tough battle to the Phillipines but I see them coming out with a point from this encounter the fans have high hopes on the coach and has given him the match against Phillipine to keeping his job.
