20 years old Indonesian Ferdinand M who is playing for the Oxford United scored two goals in each half for his team to beat mighty Saudi Arab in qualifier for the World Cup 2026 this is first win for the Indonesia against Saudi Arab in 8 games with we have 5 wins for Saudi Arab and 2 draws before this game.



This win brings good chance for the Indonesia to have spot into Fourth Stage of the qualifiers for the World Cup 2026, and now we have not good chance for the Saudi Arab to have automatic qualification for the world cup Japan thrash China with score of 3–1 in busy day while we have too many games across Asia and Africa for the World Cup 2026.
This victory is a revival of the Indonesian national team after consecutive defeats in previous matches, Saudi Arabia is one of the strong teams in Asia but the maturity of the strategy applied by Shin Tae Yong in the match was able to overcome every attack built by Saudi Arabia, I think the solid defence of indonesia today is an important factor that made them win and different from their previous matches, ferdinand became the hero of indonesia victory today with scoring 2 goal in the match and I hope he can continue to maintain his performance in the next matchs, the first 3 points won by indonesia now makes them temporarily climb to position 3 of the group C standings.

Well actually that result should be the most reasonable. But because this is football and nothing should be underestimated. And now I can hardly believe it when I see Saudi Arabia trailing by 2 goals by Indonesia. Maybe Saudi Arabia still has a chance to equalize the score but I think that Indonesia's defense is strong enough to be penetrated in this match.

Both of them played well and balanced. However the results are already full time where Indonesia won with a score of 2-0. Automatically Indonesia with this victory has given a little comfort because it is in third sequence even though it can change depending on the Bahrain vs Australia match which will be played in a matter of hours later.

For Indonesia, at least the match between Bahrain vs Australia is better to draw. If it draws, the Bahrain point will be the same as Indonesia which is 6 points. While Australia will get 7 points. The difference in points with Australia is still possible to continue to be pursued even though Indonesia must play an away match against Australia.

Indonesia has not won in the last 5 matches. Even in the last two matches, Indonesia lost against China and Japan. Moreover, the Indonesian team is not very strong. So in this match, I thought that I would see Saudi Arabia win. But the Indonesian team won the match 2-0.

Saudi Arabia players attacked a lot in this match. Probably, Saudi Arabia players made a total of 23 shots. But even then, Saudi Arabia could not score a single goal. There is no doubt that Indonesia's defenders and goalkeeper performed well in this match. Otherwise, Indonesia would have conceded several goals today.

Brazil and Argentina faced each other in two separate World Cup qualifiers match but the performances of these two teams were not very good. Brazil might have had the chance to win but their team striker Vinicius Junior missed a penalty and they were unable to win the match. On the other hand, Argentina was facing the Paraguayan football team at Paraguay's home ground. After watching the performance of the Argentine players in that match, I felt that they were uncomfortable, that is, they were under pressure.

It was unimaginable and unexpected for everyone that Argentina would lose to Paraguay in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers match. Since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the Argentina football team has been performing brilliantly against the opposition in every match. Based on that it might have been expected by everyone that they would easily win the match against Paraguay but they could not do so.
To be fair I believe Argentina still played better, it didn't really feel like they were worse and I believe they had a chance to win as well. It was one of those games where they just got unlucky and that is why they lost, even the best teams end up having these kind of games and I believe this was one of those games. Qualifiers isn't always that easy, but it's clear that we are going to see Argentina go there without a doubt, we will not have Argentina-less World Cup, which would be weird but the way Brazil played recently we may see one without them and it wouldn't really be a big shock.

I believe we need to realize how tough it is in Latin America these days. Back in the day it was only Brazil and Argentina, nobody else really did anything, but these days we are seeing other teams playing a decent level as well and that is why it's not really that much of a shocking result neither. Hopefully, we could probably see them do fine and better results.

Japan is currently playing very well, today they were ahead against China and China could not beat Japan. On the contrary, today's match Japan team won 1-3, and Japan's strong attack is still going on. Japan has played well against every team in the past matches, previously they beat Indonesia and today they beat China, accordingly Japan team is very strong.
Japan's team is known to train with different mixed methods, and their team is renowned for having strong capacity and trust in each other. So, they support each other, studying each other's strengths and weaknesses on the field. This way, you complement your teammate's strength and weakness, making the team strong and enabling them to keep playing and winning.

The thing is they have consistently set the mark for themselves to always win games, so every season they work hard to maintain their record from previous leagues, ensuring they don't lose games or fall behind. I find this impressive and like a challenge for any team that will go against them.

I look forward to seeing what they'll achieve in this league. I always anticipate Japan's matches to see how they'll play out, as they seem to have set a standard of always wanting to win against tough opponents. I'm also waiting for them to face stronger opponents in the football arena – at least one or two stronger teams.

Advantage in what? just because their last match against Saudi Arabia was end in draw and it was played in Saudi Arabia's home, it doesn't mean an advantage in the upcoming match. They were just lucky, Saudi Arabia should have won that match and this match, Saudi Arabia will revenge them.

Let's predict the score, 1-0 favor on Saudi Arabia.

Maybe Saudi Arabia still has a chance to equalize the score but I think that Indonesia's defense is strong enough to be penetrated in this match.


In another match, China looks like they will lose to Japan because the current score is quite different, namely 1-3 and I think Japan could increase their advantage in the ongoing match.

In this match, Saudi Arabia could not perform very well from the start, which is why they lost to Indonesia by 2 goals. Saudi Arabia could not make their attacks stronger compared to others, but Indonesia's attack was very strong and their defense was also very strong. In that case, Saudi Arabia tried to equalize the game despite attacking enough in today's match, but it could not succeed. However, it must be admitted that the players of the Indonesian team played very well in today's match and their strong attack brought them victory.

Japan has played well against every team in the past matches, previously they beat Indonesia and today they beat China, accordingly Japan team is very strong.
Saudi Arabia was dominate the match but Indonesia players were playing very discipline and Indonesia know Saudi Arabia also targetting win result and they will playing aggressive so that's why Indonesia players are more focus to strengthen their defense and Indonesia has attempts to used counter attack style and this strategy were successful to make Indonesia win over Saudi Arabia and this is the first time for Indonesia on their history to beat Saudi Arabia

On the other hand Japan can easily win from China and i think this predictable result because Japan as the strongest team in Group C so beating them seems near to impossible for other teams in this group and after this result i think Japan will be automatically to advances to world cup because the can collect 16 points from 6 matches

There are many problems experienced by the Indonesian national team squad in the last few matches and in this match they prove to their supporters, and at the same time this match determines whether Shin Tae-yong will stay or resign as coach, because of some bad results obtained by Indonesia and the strategy given by Shin Tae-yong which was too surprising in some of the players who were fielded, but apart from all that the results obtained tonight are really positive results that will change all that.

Regarding Japan, it seems that they are really serious about wanting to crush and record their record for being undefeated in this qualification, therefore several matches that they played were almost won by Japan.

Well I think everyone must think the same as you, including me. Because I also never thought that I would see Indonesia winning by 2 goals when facing a big team like Saudi Arabia, which is one of the national teams that we often see at the World Cup. And it has a ranking that is very far from Indonesia. Well, this is a very happy surprise for those of us who support Indonesia.

But I have a slightly different view about Indonesian defense. Because actually Indonesia's defense is not that strong. It's just that the midfield and even the front line players sometimes help Indonesia's defense so that Indonesia's defense can continue to repel attacks from Saudi Arabia. And actually Saudi Arabia played very well, it's just that they haven't succeeded in making a good finish. Meanwhile, Indonesia very rarely attacks Saudi Arabia's defenses. But when Indonesia gets the opportunity to attack, Saudi Arabia's defense always seems overwhelmed. So the difference is only in the effectiveness of the attacks I think.
You are right that Indonesia's defense is not that strong, but because all the players always go back to help defend and this is what makes it difficult for Saudi Arabia to create good opportunities. And Saudi Arabia actually has many opportunities that could become goals. But they were unlucky because their shooting and heading accuracy was really not good in that match.

But I really felt nervous when Justin Hubner got a red card in the 89th minute. I really thought that things could turn around at the end of the match because Indonesia would be playing with 10 players. But well, Indonesia was lucky because they managed to defend well and kept the score unchanged until the end.

And now I'm watching the Palestine vs South Korea match. And I didn't expect this match to be quite exciting from the start. Because 2 goals have been scored since the 12th and 16th minutes. The score is currently tied at 1-1. and yes of course South Korea dominated this match very well.

A fairly common strategy is when a team that is not so favored faces a stronger team. We can see how Saudi Arabia dominates the match; they have many chances, including a shot that hits the crossbar. But Saudi Arabia has had quite a hard time breaking through Indonesia's goal this time.
A loss for Saudi Arabia when they were held to a draw at home, and they lost at Indonesia's home. Unfortunately, there was a little incident near the end of the match, with some events that I think were unnecessary.

If you are a Ronaldo fan, then you must have enjoyed his Overhead Kick in Portugal's match with Poland. Most people were saying that Ronaldo may be getting old to play for the 2026 World Cup but not many youngsters can score like this, the way he played yesterday. The match was an easy win for Portugal though as they won the match by 5 - 1 in the UEFA Nations League. It was a treat to watch a 39 year old with this athletic skills in action  Smiley



Ronaldo fans are all over the world and most people who doesn't like him will definitely like what he is doing in his old age and the number of goals he keeps getting and how he is scoring the goals without stress and struggling, in the game against Poland, he wasn't just playing because he is a good player but we saw he composed himself in the game assisting his team mates to score and also scoring a brace in the game. Ronaldo may be old to play in the 2026 world cup but he is going to use his experience to help his country to achieve good results even more than the countries that has a lot of young players.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is a groundbreaking event for global football. The expansion to 48 teams will make the tournament more inclusive, giving more nations the opportunity to compete at the highest level. With the United States hosting the majority of matches, alongside Canada and Mexico, this joint effort represents a significant milestone for North American football. The increased number of matches and teams will also bring more excitement and opportunities for fans worldwide. As we approach 2026, the qualification process will be crucial, and it’s exciting to think about how it will shape the tournament.👍

I think all the improvements that the Saudis are showing and also the recent popularity that the Saudi Pro League has seen because of a lot of popular footballers deciding to join, has been incredible and that's why I think the performance of Saudi has also been improved. Compared to that nothing significant actually happened in the Indonesia football for which we can vouch for them. I personally think it is going to be an easy win for Saudi Arabia. By the way, remember they were also able to beat Argentina in the World Cup Wink. And Argentina is the current world champion. That is something not every team at their level can brag about.
Well, it cannot be denied that there has been a significant improvement in Saudi Arabia's performance. Moreover, currently the SPL is also a very famous league. Their popularity is increasing. So I was also initially very pessimistic about Indonesia going up against Saudi Arabia. But I still support Indonesia because I am Indonesian. But I'm really surprised now. because Indonesia has been leading 1-0 since the first half. And now in the second half Indonesia increased their lead to 2-0. Several Saudi Arabian defenders seem to make mistakes quite often. And all of this can be put to good use by Indonesia's forward players. Marselino Ferdinand scored 2 goals. Thank you Marcelino.

Ronaldo is an icon of football and sports. His dedication and consistency are an inspiration to all athletes around the world. That is why I think Ronaldo is much better than Messi if you take him as an idol. Not everyone is blessed with extraordinary talent like Messi but you can continue to surpass your level with hard work and consistency like Ronaldo. I am sure Ronaldo will play in the 2026 world cup if called by his country. We often see a goalkeeper or defender who still plays until the age of 40. But it is very rare for a striker to play beyond the age of 35.
Ronaldo has shown us that talent alone is not enough without hard work, discipline, and determination to be able to reach top the careers, just like you, I also see Ronaldo as an extraordinary idol not only because of his ability to play, but so far his healthy lifestyle has been very inspiring to me and my family, if we compare in terms of trophy acquisition, maybe Messi is slightly above Ronaldo but it is undeniable that Ronaldo has become inspiration from a lot of people and not just footballers all along, I think with his fitness and his current form of course he will be able to play in the World 2026 later, but apart from all that, of course my biggest curiosity at the moment is about whether Ronaldo will reach his 1000th goal before his retires?

Ronaldo keeps his body fit for the long term and that is the answer why at his current age he can still play agilely even with skills that are really above average, on the other hand Ronaldo relatively good body muscle proportions make him have extra strength and energy to be able to do anything on the field.
Indeed, several times Ronaldo could not make big contribution by scoring goal for Portugal but he often made surprises that could make Portugal have an advantage and of course with Ronaldo it is still possible for Portugal to be candidate for team that can compete for the championship title.

It is amazing how Ronaldo is able to perform even at the age of 40. He has maintained his fitness. Even at the age of 40, Ronaldo is able to stay on the field for 90 minutes. At the same time, Ronaldo faces very few injuries. Because of his physical fitness, he is still able to perform well. Ronaldo's performance in the Saudi League is very good. At the same time, Ronaldo is now performing well in the national team jersey.

Portugal's new coach Roberto Martínez is using Ronaldo very well. And we can see better performance from Ronaldo. But Ronaldo's relationship with Portugal's former coach Fernando Santos was probably not good. Fernando Santos did not want to give Ronaldo much opportunity. However, we will probably see Ronaldo in the Portugal jersey in the next World Cup.
