The way they are playing badly, they might not even make it through a possible group stage of the World Cup if the team manages to qualify... worst of all is that there is no prospect of improvement in the long term... in the short term, just Neymar's return, on an individual level is good, but the rest of the team is very weak in my opinion. I don't have the courage to bet 1 cent in favor of the Brazilian team today.
I think the Brazilian squad has lost its best talent that could always create miracles in football. Some time ago I read the news and I think the corruption of their football federation is really crazy and makes them unable to find the best talent there. Brazil can always produce football legends from poor areas like Favella. I mean they can only call players who are already famous in Europe or in the Brazilian league. Without the support of the football federation I think it is difficult for Brazilian children to achieve their dreams of becoming famous footballers. Right now Brazil is at a level where they can fail to qualify. Something I never imagined before.

There is a kind of "convocation mafia" in Brazil, that is, the agent who pays the most can put his player to play for the Brazilian national team and as a result he will gain value in world football. As far as I can remember, this has been happening since 2000, agents paying to have players called up. This is the only explanation for some extremely bad players being called up in recent years... And what happens with this? What we see today: an absurd lack of quality in the national team and several horrible players being called up... perhaps this also explains bad coaches coaching the national team and may be one of the reasons for Carlo Ancelotti's refusal... Corruption destroys everything.

I don't know if you're Brazilian, but you want to know my opinion, since you mentioned favelas!?

Currently in Brazil, professional soccer, the kind that really turns a talented person into a star player targeted by big teams, is only taught in schools that few can afford. Those who are talented, but poor and live in favelas, no longer have anywhere to play... poor people in cities like Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo no longer have a place to play soccer, and this is something that extends to many other cities as well, since you don't see soccer fields anywhere that children and adults had access to, close to home.

Of course, the reason for this is also the lack of interest in the sport. I think Brazilians are no longer as passionate about soccer as they were a few decades ago.

Indonesia currently filled with plenty of abroad players and this makes their performance is much better compared to several years ago and because for 3rd round this is first experience for Indonesia to reach this round but i think mostly Indonesian people has thinking to realistic that finish at second place and automatically to advances to the world cup i think it's very difficult for Indonesia this because currently Group C can be considered as hell group which in this group there are several strong teams such as Japan or Australia but for 3rd place or 4th place i think this position is still possible to be achieved but with the condition they should be able to gets the winning results from China, Bahrain or Saudi Arabia

I am struck by this way of classifying. I remember that when I was a child, CONMEBOL's classification was like that. Then it was a round robin format  , which I think is much better However, I like Indonesia. I hope they finish in a good place so I can see them in the World Cup. Of course, I imagine that China and Saudi Arabia are also very strong teams, especially Saudi Arabia, which has a very competitive league. They have improved a lot, especially now that they have the tactics of so many European players, because that is how you learn.

In the match against Bolivia, Messi wanted to prove he was still alive and playing for Argentina while people think he is not in the good form anymore. We recently saw the news about Messi and his situation in Inter Miami, he injured and even I saw some rumors about Messi they say Messi won't be able to play in all Inter Miami games because of his age and he needs more rest which means he can't have the chance to even play or Argentina in the 2026 World Cup because he will even get older than this.
Messi scored three goals and made two assists against Bolivia and he was the best player in this match.


Why would one just be assuming that Messi isn't in a good shape to play probably because of his age meanwhile the only valid factor that can stop him now almost immediately would be an injury and until he makes it official that he's mot fit to play anymore or probably dims it okay to retire, i will still see him as one who can still play as he still posses his skill to the fullest and still can play but may not be able to play long enough for age but he is still in a good shape and form.

No doubt Messi scored three goals in the span of 30 minutes and it was his MLS first hat trick. You can watch the highlights of his hattrick here
Lionel Messi scores hat trick in Inter Miami’s final game of MLS regular season | ESPN FC.
However, i believe it is too early to say how will be perform in the next world cup that is scheduled in 2026. There is still almost 2 year's time left in that event and we never know if at that time he would be in same form and rhythm. He is 37 now and by that time he maybe near 39.

Lionel Messi: I value happiness over reaching 2026 World Cup
Lionel Messi is still the best player in Argentina and if he wants to play in the 2026 World Cup, Argentina will make him the team captain without any second thought. But it remains to be seen whether Lionel Messi will play in the 2026 World Cup. He has won the 2022 World Cup and there is no guarantee that he will win the 2026 World Cup so he will definitely want to remember the last World Cup achievement of his career forever, in which case he will definitely not want to play the 2026 World Cup. This is my personal opinion but Lionel Messi will decide whether he will play the 2026 World Cup or not.

I feel you think that's good for Argentina to have Messi in this tan dn they are still dependent on this player but that's really wrong Messi is an old player. Once he was younger he was one of the best talented for Barcelona and Argentina but time after time he got older and now even he can't play in all the games completely for Inter Miami because there is a much higher chance for Messi to get injured and he won't have his good form anymore in his team.
Argentina should stop using Messi like he is still an effective player for them and they should start forming their new Messi by using the younger players in the 2026 World Cup instead of Messi.

Brazil looking bad is something we need to use as a cautionary tale for betting as well. So far people bet on them to win because they are one of the best teams there normally. Between Argentina and Brazil, they dominate Copa America and all the Latin American cups and they are the biggest representation of the continent in world cup as well. But looking at how they are, people who bet on them to win, and "now they are starting to be good" all ended up losing their bets and this is why it's such a huge risk as well.

I do not think we are going to see them get any great wins or anything, we are going to see them have a lot of trouble. This is why I do not think it would be a smart decision to bet on their games, we should try to avoid that. They could be recovering, they could be doing fine, but they may actually end up keep being bad as well, which is why I believe we are going to end up with a worse Brazil and not taking any risks betting on them makes sense.

I am Brazilian and I have never bet against this team, but I understand that this is not a sensible choice when we want to protect our wallet against losses.
Unfortunately, Brazil is not the same as it was years ago. In fact, no soccer team is the same... we have moved on from the time when favorites won and the others were just supporting actors in the "spectacle". Nowadays, there are no weak teams anymore and anyone has the chance to get a positive result against a "favorite" team.
Obviously, this does not justify the fact that Brazil has been in such a difficult situation in recent years. It is a fact that Brazilian soccer has fallen a lot in performance Undecided

I myself will try to bet more responsibly on the Brazilian team's next games or even not bet at all when they enter the field, just rooting for their victory seems to be a more sensible decision.

The Brazilian team today is just a shadow of what it once was. At least Neymar is coming back from injury and I believe that him being fit and playing at a high level again could even give some kind of hope for better days for the Brazilian team.

The way they are playing badly, they might not even make it through a possible group stage of the World Cup if the team manages to qualify... worst of all is that there is no prospect of improvement in the long term... in the short term, just Neymar's return, on an individual level is good, but the rest of the team is very weak in my opinion.

Lionel Messi: I value happiness over reaching 2026 World Cup
Lionel Messi has helped Inter Miami break the MLS records, getting the highest points. They got 74 points, one ahead of the former record holders Revolution. He keeps breaking records anywhere he plays, which is an exception. Scoring his first hat trick in the MLS and ending the league scoring 20 goals and giving 16 assists in 19 matches shows that he still has the quality to keep playing.

The Argentine captain recently gave hints about his retirement but didn't give any date. There are predictions that he might retire after the World Cup. But two years is too far to be sure if he would make it to the biggest tournament in the world. But if he keeps playing with this quality, which is possible, then nothing will stop him from having a good time in the next World Cup.

China football team played very well in this match and they became successful to do two goals in this match and match was ended with 2-1 score. Abduweli was a person who gave good start to his team and he gave confidence to the players of his team and after that we saw tough competition and Zhang did second goal of the match and he did goal at the 44 minutes and after that situation was in the control of China team. Haye did third goal of the match and he did goal at 86 minutes and  Indonesia and china, both teams are very close to each other and both have equal points on points table.The stat of Indonesia team was powerful but they became successful to win this match.

It's interesting, I've always seen Indonesia as one of the countries that can give and offer the most surprises in a World Cup, I've seen how they play and I like it, it's not just because it's the country, it's that they play well, I'm also surprised by China, honestly China has had an improvement that can't be set aside or go unnoticed, the fact that the new format of the World Cup has changed for more, gives these countries the opportunity to fight much more to get to the World Cup, and this is something that is seen from miles away, of all of them, I would like to see Indonesia in the USA,  it's a team that for me shows promise.

After making many improvements in its squad, currently Indonesia has shown a significant improvement in performance and also their potential to compete at the international level, the defeat to China has indeed reduced their chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, but we cannot deny that Indonesia is currently one of the teams to watch out for from Asia,  The recruitment (naturalization) of players who play in Europe obviously makes them have good squad and for Southeast Asia I think they are the kings of the moment, as well as China, although they are not as great as Japan or Korea, but their football development has come a long away in recent years, huge investment in football infrastructure and also the development of young players is Chin step in advanged their football.

If Indonesia and Japan would have to play together then, the outcome can be different from the previous ones which is why football is amazing. Even though it could look like Indonesia will not have the capability of defeating the Japanese team, anything can still happen especially when the Indonesia team are much more prepared for the match. These is nothing like possibility in football and we have seen this many times even with Nigeria and Kenyan team thinking that the super eagles is going to defeat the Kenyan team but the opposite was the case. Football is always amazing with different results.
as well as the bets we make. sometimes it's hard to believe that our predictions don't match the final results on the field.
Indonesia became the weakest country in the third round of the AFC qualifiers. but some of their early results against strong teams like Saudi Arabia and Australia were amazing. they even almost won against Bahrain.
they got a defeat from China, but seeing their performance. what rapid progress they experienced. next against Japan, both matches will be home games and they have the opportunity to surprise and make history for them.

Indonesia vs Japan, oh come on, if Indonesia can brought the match to draw, it's already a huge achievement for them.
Japan will beat Indonesia for sure.
Although I am also from Indonesia, I think users in this forum who are from Indonesia are also realistic that it will be very difficult for them to get even 1 point from Japan. I only hope that Indonesia can perform well and can make it difficult for Japan to win. It would be amazing if Indonesia could hold Japan to a draw in this match. But this is like an impossible mission. Japan has many players who play in the top European leagues, some of them even become regular players in top European clubs. Like Kubo, Minamino, Watanabe, Mitoma, Tomiyasu and Endo. I just hope that Indonesia will not lose by a big score and I will continue to support Indonesia whatever the result. And this does not mean that I am betting on Indonesia.

It is a realistic prediction that Indonesia will lose when facing Japan. Both countries are at different levels, so it will be very difficult even if it is only a draw, even when Indonesia acts as the host. In the game, I think Indonesia will play more defensively and rely on counterattacks, well the next problem also occurs. To implement a counterattack strategy, a very fast transition is definitely needed and I am sure Japan can match that.
But anything can happen in football, we never know what will happen on the field because it is possible that Indonesia plays well in the match next month, even though the possibility is quite small.
Three draws and then have defeat against bottom side China is huge below for the Indonesia now most chances they will lost against league table leaders Japan this is going to be realistic below because things are looking not easy in coming weeks China is doing good and try to recover from early loses but situation is tense for the Indonesia which is now having eyes on fourth stage which are looking not easy with this performance and results.

This is what we call over proud and this might be the reason some users created a topic to discuss about always bet on favorite team or not. As we can see some users don't being objective and use their emotion to make decision.

Indonesia vs Japan, oh come on, if Indonesia can brought the match to draw, it's already a huge achievement for them.

Japan will beat Indonesia for sure.
Indonesia vs Japan is surely had something for home team because Japan is already at the top with good lead, and they are doing good job in their matches even I have strong feeling they will play with their full force and no allow Indonesia for any realistic chance but it's soccer and surprises and subsets are always on cards so at home Indonesia can do good which will give them good chance for the next round.

They needed some development which will help them for having better results, but surely they needed to work on their domestic league as well which will increase their players pool and quality because this is the most effective investment for any country in soccer.

There is none who expects to see Indonesia getting better results and we all know they are going to lose it. I think Japan will start the game with an attacking style and they will definitely try to score the goal and win the game because Indonesia trying to play defensive or start destroying the game.
The fact about Indonesia is they even lost the game against China while couldn't win any game before Indonesia. If China could beat Indonesia I think Japan will definitely win this match much more easily.
 
Indonesia's defeat to China in the last match was partly because the coach rotated players and implemented a different strategy, so that made their game not run well and coordination in the back line also did not work. The 2 goals that China managed to score were also inseparable from the mistakes of Indonesia's defense line which was wrong in anticipating the ball. After they changed their strategy in the second half, their game looked better and the defense was more solid.
Back to the match between Indonesia vs Japan, a draw would be a very good result and it would feel like a victory. But once again it is not easy, because it is difficult to face a country that has been a regular at the World Cup.

Of all the Brazil and Argentina matches I've seen so far, the most competitive match I've ever seen was the last Copa America final between Brazil and Argentina. Brazil and Argentina continued to compete until the last minute and tried to score against each other but Di María's brilliant finish left Brazil 1-0 down and Brazil could not come back from the spot. 

Since then Argentina have had good times and Argentina have won many major titles including the World Cup tournament but Brazil have remained in their previous state. Now looking at the performance of Brazil in some friendly matches, it seems that it is very difficult for them to play for the national team and they may not play well for the national team. But in the last few matches the Brazilian players have shown hope again and hopefully they will bounce back from here.

Why would one just be assuming that Messi isn't in a good shape to play probably because of his age meanwhile the only valid factor that can stop him now almost immediately would be an injury and until he makes it official that he's mot fit to play anymore or probably dims it okay to retire, i will still see him as one who can still play as he still posses his skill to the fullest and still can play but may not be able to play long enough for age but he is still in a good shape and form.

This is why I do not think it would be a smart decision to bet on their games, we should try to avoid that. They could be recovering, they could be doing fine, but they may actually end up keep being bad as well, which is why I believe we are going to end up with a worse Brazil and not taking any risks betting on them makes sense.
Brazil improved its performance recently with the introduction of Luiz Henrique and Igor Jesus to the national team, as we can see on the two most recent matches against Chile and Peru. I understand many gamblers are fearful to place bets on brazilian matches, but if you are following the matches one by one and the players involved on each of them, you will reach a conclusion about how strong Brazil is right now.

Of course it's too early to assure Brazil has good chances against stronger teams, like Argentina and some european ones, but I believe they are on their way to find a new efficient composition of players for the team. Some adjustments are still needed, but I believe they can reach there by the next world cup in 2026.

Thing is that Brazil is by far not the team that I thought it was. The good old days are quite over at the moment. I remember when it still felt as if Brazil is invincible. But now they are dropping points all the time and when they win a game, they don't do so in a convincing fashion. Almost all of the games are very close and they are not as dominant anymore despite having some of the best players. I don't know if that is a coaching thing or something else, but it is weird to see a football nation like Brazil to struggle so hard during the World Cup qualification.
