Today Brazil and Argentina faced Colombia and Paraguay in two separate matches where Brazil and Argentina lost in two separate matches. Argentina lost 2-1 to Colombia while Brazil lost 1-0 to Paraguay. However, the fact that Brazil was defeated came as a bit of a surprise to the fans. Despite keeping 70% of the ball in their favor throughout the entire period, Brazil was unable to score a goal in the opponent's net.   

In addition, Paraguay managed to get a ball into Brazil's net with only 30% of the ball in their possession, which means that Brazil's finishing is weak and Brazil's defense is also weak. 
Argentina have lost but the important fact here is that Argentina have probably lost only three matches with this match in the last five years.

Brazil lost to Paraguay and the Portuguese news channels that I have been following are not talking much about this defeat because although they recognize that the Brazilian national team is not performing well, they have always managed to do better when they play against Paraguay. To give you an idea of ​​what I am talking about, Paraguay had not been able to beat Brazil since 2009, it had been more than 15 years without them being able to beat Brazil. So this defeat by Brazil goes down in history.

Paraguay's last win against Bazil came in the year 2008

source: https://news.abplive.com/sports/football/brazil-attain-unwanted-record-after-defeat-to-paraguay-in-world-cup-2026-qualifiers-conmebol-paraguay-first-win-vs-brazil-16-years-1716580

What is very worrying about this qualification for Brazil is the following:

Games = 8
Wins = 3
Defeats = 4


a team that has the history of the greatest achievements in the World Cup, a team that was fearsome on a global level, looking at them now you realize that they are in decline. But even so, I have not seen at any time that they talk about firing the national coach and looking for another who is international. It seems that the Brazilian Football Federation does not see this poor performance as being a big problem. It's very strange how the highest football body in Brazil reacts to this situation. Normally any organization would be panicking and talking about dismissal, because we are talking about 8 games and 4 defeats, precisely in World Cup qualifying games. These are not friendly games, they are serious games. But there is no talk of dismissals.

Paraguay went for the draw, and ended winning the match. Congratulations to Paraguay, very well played! Even through they didn't have the star players of Real Madrid, they did as teams are supposed to do in soccer: to play in group cooperatively, aware they didn't have the best skilled players individually speaking, so they had to use strategy on their favour.

Meanwhile, Brazil had the best players, the fastest ones and they even took advantage of it, especially during the first minutes of the game, when they totally had the control over the field and ball. However, it took only one gap for Paraguay to score the goal which guaranteed them the victory in the end.

Also, congratulations to Paraguay's goalkeeper Gatito Fernandéz who defended a spicy shoot from Vini Jr. and another Paraguay's defensive player who I don't know the name right now, but also defended a ball which was heading to their goal.
Paraguay has the best defense in the qualifiers, Paraguay has scored one goal in 7 games. It's obvious that brazil has started to play badly again, brazil has not made it past the quarterfinals in the World Cup since 2006, with the only exception being when they reached the semifinals in the 2018 World Cup. This is not such a bad performance, but now they are having a lot of difficulty in obtaining a place to play in the next World Cup.

About Dibu Martinez's attitude when he slapped the camera in his last match:
The Colombian Association of Sports Journalists demands an EXEMPLARY SANCTION for Dibu Martinez, due to the hand he shook with a photographer's camera after the match against Colombia.
“We SPECIFICALLY demand that FIFA create an exemplary sanction against Mr. Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martinez, who is not an example for the new generations.”

What is happening with Autralia team right now? And like i always said, how much bets they destroy today again?

I dont think they are in risk of not being in the next world cup because for sure they are gonna start to win in sometime, but still a very strange to see this two first results for them.

Seems like the new generation is not so good or not fitting at all in this new team.



Australia seemed good enough in this game. The only problem is that they lacked of proper finishing, and indonesia's goal keeper was on fire. He saved lots of golden chances by us, and it makes us lose two points again. It's kinda bad for us caused by the hard match is awaiting us.

If Australia doesn't win the next game against China, our chance to qualify will be almost gone.



Australia is now being placed at the fifth. The problem is that they're gonna face hard games. They have not yet played against Japan and Saudi that potentially give them 0 points, too.

China's coach will definitely get fired from this team and I'm sure about it because he recently had the worst performance in this team, China wants to be in the 2026 World Cup and they invested in it but so far in the two games they had, they lost both games.
Australia was one of the best teams in Asia and they were always in the World Cup but so far they had one loss and one draw and they are going to lose the 2026 World Cup like this.
I think both teams, Australia and China will have to make huge changes in the time they have otherwise I think they have to wait for the 2030 World Cup.
 


The Chinese team have really being disappointing so far and to some extent I don't really see them winning any team maybe except from Indonesia because Japan is definitely a no go area because Japan so far have always stand out from the rest teams in Asia as both their female and men team are both actively good in the game of soccer. As for Saudi Arabia, they have done impressive too as the money they pump in their league isn't for vain.

Brazil loss to Paraguay has created a situation where Brazil is being criticized as the coach Dorival Junior may have forgotten his emotions when Brazil secured a 1-0 win over Ecuador after a three-match losing streak. He became so confident that no one could stand by his words. He said he wants to see Brazil in the World Cup final. But when they lost to Paraguay Dorival Junior has nothing to say. Truly, the Brazilian team will undergo a transformation that no one has ever seen.

"A bit of a surprise" describes the issue for Brazil quite well because it wasn't actually a huge surprise at all. I think they have lost four out of the last five games and that is unacceptable for a former world class football nation. I have no idea where they will be heading in the next two years. They will qualify I guess as almost everybody from the group qualifies, but it is still a horrifying result for them to be at 10 points after 8 games. But again, I think 7 or 8 teams qualify for the World Cup and they are 99% not going to fail to achieve the qualification. But no matter how they qualify from now on, it's not looking very good for them.

We our previous generation and our future generation will remember the names of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi as long as they watch football games. They are two of the greatest legendary players of all time. We often argue and compare these two players, some say Ronaldo is the best and some say Lionel Messi is the best. In fact none of these two have achieved less than the other so they are ahead of the whole football world. If we compare individual achievements and titles between these two players, then Messi is ahead. On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo is ahead in terms of fan followers and goals.

But yes Messi is a self-sufficient player in his own football career because he lacked one trophy in his career and that was the World Cup. Messi has won that elusive trophy in 2022 FIFA World Cup but Ronaldo is yet to touch the World Cup. For which he may feel incomplete. But he is still a legendary player and the highest goalscorer in football history.
I still think that Messi was wildly more talented, it wasn't even remotely close to me and I think Messi was better, but I also understand people who say that Cristiano Ronaldo was better as well, it's totally understandable and I won't be getting involved in that part.

I think Messi didn't even care as much as Ronaldo did, so I would understand why people would prefer Ronaldo. If you told me which one is more of an "idol" or a role model, I would say Ronaldo is definitely better, dude is 40 years old and still taking care of his body, not eating badly, still working out like crazy and trying to be better than many of the 20 year old kids out there.

Look at Portugal, Ronaldo still striker and scoring goals there, the entire nation of Portugal, who loves football, couldn't produce a striker that can bench a 40 year old Ronaldo. Messi has this god given talent that is beyond anything Ronaldo can dream of, but Ronaldo worked incredibly hard to be who he is today, so I think Messi is more talented, but I do like Ronaldo a lot.

I dont really have more words to Brazil, is a disaster, yesterday i saw the game against Paraguay and believe me, Brasil do NOTHING in the game against a weak Paraguay and Paraguay in some parts of the game makes Brazil seems patetic, and this Paraguay is not full of stars like the one who was in the world cup of 2010.

I really think Vinicus doesnt deserve the ballon d Or because of his poor performance in the national team.

Australia is now being placed at the fifth. The problem is that they're gonna face hard games. They have not yet played against Japan and Saudi that potentially give them 0 points, too.

Japan and Saudi Arabia are heavy opponents that make Australia have difficulty dealing with them if they are judged by two matches that they have played each.
The surprise in Group C is found in the Indonesian National Team. From two matches, Indonesia managed to get 2 points or even 2 points obtained when dealing with Saudi Arabia and Australia.

Indonesian national team fans including I really want Indonesia to qualify for the World Cup because this is a long -awaited history.
Indonesia has the opportunity to get additional points when facing Bahrain and China even though when facing Japan after the match vs. Bahrain and China is not certain to end in a draw like against Saudi Arabia and Australia.

For CONMEBOL zone i have seen some of surprising results today because some of the favourite teams such as Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil were unable to beat their opponents especially for Brazil because they are expected can beat Paraguay and as usual people have been concern about Brazil front lines because in this match the players such as Vinicius, Rodrygo and Edrick performing poorly because although Brazil was dominate the match but they were unable to gets much opportunities to scores which this is dissapoint and this result is make Brazil only can occupy 5th place so this is serious alert for Dorival Júnior to improved Brazil performance and next match against Chile they should be able to win


The outcome of the match between Paraguay and Brazil was the surprise of the CONMEBOL games. With the players Brazil has, one would have expected it to be a cheap game. But quality players don't always lead to good results. But from the statistics, I would say that the Brazilian should have won the game based on the ball possession. But it also showed that although Paraguay were outclassed, they defended and also attacked well. They had nine shots, and two were on target. It is hard to believe that players like Vinicius, Rodrygo and Edrick will be in a team without scoring at least one goal but that's football.

It seems that they feel the weight of wearing the Brazilian national team jersey. The difference in quality of these players in their clubs is impressive, and when they play for Brazil, it seems like an amateur team. It is very, very bad to watch a Brazilian national team game. It seems like a team without determination, without blood, without pride. Terrible! The current Brazilian national team is a total nightmare. Dorival Junior is completely incompetent, he can't even give this team a tactical scheme.
Paraguay vs Brazil amazing me till now.
How the mighty falling. Though Paraguay is a strong team in the international football game but when Brazil was strong in years back, Paraguay can't beat Brazil but those players are not in the team and the new ones are not skillful enough to defend the national team again. But if good coach comes in they can still do well. The game ended with 1-0 against Brazil and from the stat of things Brazil did well in the game yet Paraguay won the match. D. Gomez scored the goal and got yellow card in the game. Paraguay got 4 yellow cards and Brazil got 2. Paraguay keeper saved 3 goals and that shows that Brazil dominate the match but they were not lucky to score.

Although Australia have won every match they have played against Indonesia so far, their victory will depend on how well Indonesia can perform in today's match. Moreover, I think Australia will win today's match as the favorite team and if you bet for Australia it will be possible to win.
The match between Indonesia and Australia ended before you made this post and even in the post above yours, Volgastallion talked about that.
Australia failed to win the match and it ended with a goalless draw.

I am surprised by Australia's performance, this country always surprises me in some way in football, on the other hand I have seen that countries like Indonesia have given good surprises,

Yes Australia football team did not perform as expected they surprised everyone. But Indonesia's performance really surprised us as they drew two matches in a row in the AFC World Cup qualifiers. Earlier they drew 1-1 against Saudi Arabia and lost 1-0 to Bahrain.
Quote
today there are also qualifiers for the World Cup, first Colombia and Argentina play, and the weather is super hot, the state of Barranquilla is characterized by such a hot climate and that makes the players get saturated quickly, tired, dehydrated and that is something that would affect the Argentinians, that is one of the reasons why I say that the World Cup qualifiers in South America are so difficult and for me the hardest.
Four Latin American teams faced off on the same night in South American football's World Cup qualifiers. But in those matches only the Latin American teams have lost. Colombia football team defeated Lionel Messi's Argentina 2-1 at home in the World Cup qualifying match, Argentina's 12-match unbeaten run came to an end with the loss against Colombia. This victory is a strong revenge for Colombia Because Argentina beat Colombia in the Copa America final to win the title. Along with Argentina, Brazil lost to Paraguay. We previously saw Brazil beat Paraguay 4-1 in the Copa America group stage match against Paraguay. Paraguay then made a great comeback with a win against Brazil. On the other hand, another Latin American football team, Chile, was defeated by Bolivia but managed to draw comfortably in Uruguay.

I dont think they are in risk of not being in the next world cup because for sure they are gonna start to win in sometime, but still a very strange to see this two first results for them.

Second match of third round qualifier Indonesia vs Australia.
Really salute Indonesia. This time they managed to hold Australia to a draw.
Man of the match:


Maybe there are still shortcomings, especially in Indonesia's front line, where they wasted many opportunities for shots. But on the other hand, the team is getting more solid, and this is a very good achievement for the national team. Oh yes, especially Maarten Paes, really, he saved the goal from various Australian attacks. At least, he made crucial 5 saves.

Second match of third round qualifier Indonesia vs Australia.

Have good capital on the first match after success being draw Saudi Arabia and getting one away point make Indonesia team on confidence performance for second matches against Australia today.
Although can't dominance when facing Australia teams and last match at AFC Asian Cup 2024 round of 16 Indonesia team have defeated over 4-0 and believing with Indonesia team manager Shin Tae-yong give the first three points for our national team.

Australia national team on bad performance after defeating by Bahrain on the first qualifier match and playing in front of their fans, Indonesia team have solid defense performance after Maarten Paes success getting naturalization and make impressive debut match against Saudi Arabia after crucial penalty kick save. For second qualifier match, Indonesian seems defend their first composition against Australia looking all players have show their best performance.


Talking about this group, China was weaker than we could expect to see from then and they lost the game against Saudi Arabia while I think their coach will get fired from this team soon because of the results he got there so far. Australia was another they were worse than we could ever imagine and so far in the two games they had they couldn't win a game and they had one loss and one draw.
There is the chance to see Australia not being in the 2026 World Cup if they continue in the bad performance we saw from them.
