I'm fully active when it comes to club's level games but for international, most players finds it challenging because there's significant presence of other big names that the International headcoach will consider first before falling to his backup plans. Brazil and Spain will be leading and having dominated good players, always extraordinary in matches. We have selected countries that will make it to the finals prior to their tremendous performance against their opponents.

AFAIK, it was a friendly game yet very competitive. That goes to say that when it's an actual competition with something at stake, it'd be even more entertaining to watch. The quality that both Brazil and Spain got in their teams is something to write home about.


There was a top 50 wonderkids ranking and it was like:

1. Yamal
2. Endrick

They have an enormous potential really.  Smiley

While we won't get qualities that'd be close to Ronaldo and Messi, we can sleep fine knowing that football would be in good hands with youngsters like this. Yamal probably my favorite from the two abd a pure joy to watch.

Players like Yamal and Endrick's situation are really different. Yamal is 16 and Endrick is 17 years old now. Despite being very young they are already playing for their national teams. These national teams are not even weak ones. We are talking about Spain and Brazil. This must be one of the most attention getting things in football these days.  Roll Eyes

Both players are mentioned as future stars. As long as they find chances like this wherever they play it wouldn't be surprising to see these players reaching a very high level in a shorter time period than normal.

For someone who watched the Spain vs Brazil game, I can confirm for a fact that it was a well matched game. Both teams were very competitive and it was entertaining to watching especially when seeing all the tricks that players  Yamal, Vini and Endrick put on display. Yamal especially because he completely tore apart Brazil's defense on multiple occasions. I also loved the fact that Brazil fought back hard. As a friendly game, I didn't expect such competitiveness but you'd love to see it.

What about Georgia? Did someone expect this team to qualify for the upcoming Europs?

Eliminating Greece is a big achievement for a nation like Georgia which aren't known in football comparing to their rival.
Ukraine and Poland qualification are quite normal and could be understood but definitely Greece were seen to be favourite and the way they left was hard for them for sure.


You're right, the truth is I didn't believe that the Georgia team would do that to the Greeks, it really surprises me because it is not a result that many are willing to accept, but I still find it interesting , now I like Poland because the Poles come working very well on their style of play and that makes this team shine, I like how they play, although I would like a little more focused on the attack, on the other hand Ukraine is a team that I always like to see play because they play with Heart and The truth is they are very good, so this time I want to see new European teams that make a Difference , this Reminds me of the Venezuelan team that hardly shines in South America but now they are doing it , it is similar to the case of Georgia. .

Current Brazil XI squad (4-3-3): Alisson; Yan Couto, Gabriel, Marquinhos, Carlos Augusto; Bruno Guimaraes, Casemiro, Paqueta; Rodrygo, Richarlison, Vinicius.

Look at the squad, the main reason being that Brazil has been able to produce a lot of flashy winger players. But they have not been able to produce really good defenders or midfielders and a big position which is very important, strikers. The number of wingers that Brazil has right now if they had half the number of players of other positions, they would have definitely been a great squad. But currently, the squad is pretty unbalanced in my opinion.

I can agree with you there. According to this starting eleven I can't say their defense and midfield lines are very reliable. This isn't one of the best lineups for Brazil in their history surely either.  Sad

The attacking area has really capable young players though. But being strong only in this area won't be enough for Brazil to win a World Cup title. There must be better options for Brazil for the back lines out there. These can't be the best options they have in their hands. We are talking about Brazil where there are really good talents rising. Aside from that friendly performances so far haven't been bad at all but I wouldn't like to fall for that yet.

What do you think, is the old Brazil back after these results?  Tongue

Joking aside it is of course not easy to make an assumption depending on just a friendly match. But especially in the match against Spain Brazil players looked very ambitious. It was like we were watching a World Cup finale you know.  Cheesy  When they made the score 3-3 their happiness was like they won an important match in a competition.

They had better show the same ambition in the World Cup qualifiers immediately. Otherwise they might even risk their quota for that. I guess things wouldn't come to that point but it is always better to take precautions in time.


Quote from: www.goal.com
The all-time leading scorer for Brazil, and the symbol of football in their country for the past decade, Neymar will miss the tournament after he suffered an ACL injury while on international duty in October. Whether he even plays again for his country remains to be seen.

Yes, I saw the results. But saying the old Brazil is back is absolutely too much optimism in my opinion. It will take more time for Brazil to actually get back or find the previous glory that they had once. Currently, they are definitely not looking like a team that has won the World Cup five times. And there are a lot of reasons for that.

Brazil is my favorite team and I try to watch Brazil games since long. Even though I am very busy, I set aside the time when Brazil is playing so that I can enjoy this game. Like all other matches today was no exception and today I watched the match between Brazil and Spain. Brazil looked really helpless against Spain in the beginning. Spain dominated the first 10 to 30 minutes against Brazil but then Brazil turned around. Every time Spain went ahead, Brazil paid for the goal and paid for the goal in doing so and the score was 3-3 at the end of 90 minutes. Spain and Brazil are very strong against each other as we saw in last night's match as neither team conceded any concessions in last night's match both teams played evenly and Brazil and Spain drew despite trying to bring the result in their favor.

There is nothing wrong about being a fan of the Brazilian team, but I am sure that the last few tournaments have been hurting the fans quite a lot. The last big success is quite a while ago, but I know that in 2019 they did win the Copa America. But I can only guess how much the Brazilian fans are missing a grand final at a World Cup and at the moment I can't see how this Brazilian team is able to get into the final at a big tournament. They have a lot of talents, but I miss the times when players like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and all these other crazy superstars were part of the team.

So now that all games are over, it's time to see how these predictions fared:

Germany W
England X
Brazil X

I underestimated teams that England and Brazil were playing because they were only able to salvage a point from both their matches. England have all the top stars in the world but always failing to impress or win games especially really crucial games that matches their squad quality. As for Brazil, it was a well contested game so I have zero remarks othan that.
I don't know why Spain do was unable to win the match which they started well. If not for the two penalties that was given to Spain how would they have scored more goals, however they deserved the penalty and it is part of football. Their early lead was unable to secure a win for them.

Brazil took advantage of the second half, and equalized the game to end the match in a draw. Actually, I was not expecting Spain to win the match, because both teams are balanced and filled with youngsters. It was an interesting match.

For someone who watched the Spain vs Brazil game, I can confirm for a fact that it was a well matched game. Both teams were very competitive and it was entertaining to watching especially when seeing all the tricks that players  Yamal, Vini and Endrick put on display. Yamal especially because he completely tore apart Brazil's defense on multiple occasions. I also loved the fact that Brazil fought back hard. As a friendly game, I didn't expect such competitiveness but you'd love to see it.

Brazil needs to improve in their defense. Spain were inside the Dbox without any resistance each time. Except that both the team seemed to be equally capable.
England vs Belgium was another match I enjoyed. Lots of action, impressive goals, some good saves. Both of the goals for Belgium were scored by Tielemans in 1st half, both impressive ones, the first due to a poor clearing by Pickford and second by an impressive assist from Lukaku. England scored their 1st goal as penalty. The 2nd half was mostly England attacking Belgian post. But it took the last minute of the injury time to score the equalizer goal. One of the corner goal from England was overturned by VAR due to offside.
The match between Brazil and Spain was an international friendly match but even though it was an international friendly match both teams tried their best and showed maximum performance to win. Whether we call it a friendly match or a World Cup match, it is very important for every team to win the match. Brazil faced Spain in an international friendly, so we didn't talk much about this game. Brazil and Spain are quite strong teams in football, so when these two teams take the field against each other, the match will be very interesting and very exciting for us. The match between Brazil and Spain was as exciting off the field as it was on the field but this match was just as exciting. Brazil and Spain had a lot of hard-fought battles which resulted in them being able to draw against each other in this match.

Watching the game, I didn't think the game was competitive enough. It was just an average game to me and the score of draw was just because it was a friendly match. Brazil should win spain if it was a real game and not a friendly game. In the match Brazil were relax and didn't play very well because they  got outplayed by spain but were still able to draw the game. Brazil are always capable of winning spain but since it was a friendly game they allowed spain to lead the game then they equalized. I don't like when there's many goals in a match, it shows that the defence of the teams aren't solid to stop goals from entering their goal post and it might make the goal keeper to not have confidence when playing the next time. A solid team should concede less goals.. Both teams played very well but I don't think we saw the best from them and this is because it was just a friendly match.

The Argentina vs Costa Rica match is going to start shortly. Between Argentina and Costa Rica, Argentina is a very strong team. Argentina has won 4 matches and lost 1 match in the last 5 matches, Costa Rica has lost 3 matches and won 2 matches in the last 5 matches. Even today it seems that Argentina will play without Lionel Messi. However, I think Argentina will beat Costa Rica easily. Which team do you think will win?

Argentina is of course the favorite team in the match because it only faces Costa Rica which is currently ranked 54 FIFA at the moment, as you might expect of course Argentina can win over Costa Rica with a fairly convincing score over which is 3-1, actually the match is not as easy as you think because Argentina has to fight hard to win the match.

Argentina did look quite dominant by continuing to launch attacks through Alvarez, Di Maria and Garnacho who continued to be able to trouble Costa Rica's defense throughout the first half, but unfortunately they had to concede first in the 33rd minute through Ulgade's goal, and even though they continued to press Costa Rica but Argentina failed to continue to equalize the score, in the second half Argentina was able to make good use of opportunities through a goal scored by Dimaria in the 51st minute,  Allister55th-minute and  winner goal by Martinez 76th-minute, a 3-1 win over Costa Rica capped this month's friendlies, and Argentina's next match against Guatemala in June is Argentina's final friendly before competing in the Copa America in June 2024.

Spain failed win on two friendly matches after defeating by Colombia over 0-1 and last match hold draw by Brazil with score 3-3, indeed as friendly matches I think Spain must be impressive performance and secure three points on FIFA matchday match for helping their FIFA ranking awhile. Last match against Brazil seems Spain not had quit well performance and most fatal goals scored by Brazil after mistake made by Unai Simón human error passing.
Its should be evaluate for Spain before playing on EURO 2024 and has one friendly match left against Andorra next month, I think enough with some rotation and Spain must get regular players for playing well in group phase Euro 2024 have difficult team against Croatia, Italy and mediocre team Albania.

Spain 3 - 3 Brazil
This result is more of a better result for Brazil. After defeating England, they were able to still not loose this game despite being two goals behind early. The team will grow some self believe with this result.
The Brazilian team is no longer that top that used to be and they are trying to recover. Their results in CONMEBOL are quite unsatisfying. Their results in friendlies games were way better and hopefully they will get back to their usual form.

Indonesia played relatively good in the last Cup. Hopefully your team could make it tomorrow and secure 4 points difference from Vietnam!

Thank you. And quite a fun night because Indonesia won 0-3. This history repeats itself after almost 20 years. The inclusion of Ragnar and Tom Haye who did not play in the first leg of the match made the Indonesian game extraordinary. At first I was worried because many players were suddenly ill.  Looking at this game, of course, in the remaining two matches, realistically, at least Indonesia gets 4 points. Because Indonesia will play at home and it is profitable. It seems that there will be new player names coming in. Currently, of course, Indonesia's chances of entering round 3 are very large.
That's good! Congratulations to Indonesia this victory and we hope to see it winning what left and pass Wink

Big teams will take the field against each other today in international friendly matches. The most interesting match today will be between Brazil vs Spain. Spain is the top team in Europe on the other hand Brazil is the top team in Latin America which means these two teams are very strong and the two teams will be very strong opponents against each other. Earlier Brazil won by one goal against England which was definitely a big win for Brazil because England is definitely a big name in world football. 
Spain is the barrier for Brazil today. If Spain can overcome Brazil's barrier, we can assume that Brazil are back in their groove.

I think the interest in these games is kind of limited. It is like people are looking forward to watch a real highlight. You could see that when England lost at home against Brazil or Spain lost to Columbia. These games are not taken seriously by most players. I think the young players may be the ones who give a lot to show themselves, to present themselves in the best light and shape possible, but those who know that they will be part of the team and the international tournaments anyway, will rather hold back and make sure that they don't just injuries.
Brazil is my favorite team and I try to watch Brazil games since long. Even though I am very busy, I set aside the time when Brazil is playing so that I can enjoy this game. Like all other matches today was no exception and today I watched the match between Brazil and Spain. Brazil looked really helpless against Spain in the beginning.

Kobbie Mainoo winning the man of the match award will surely secure him a place in Gareth Southgates selection for the Euro. All these new and young talents, from Kobbie Mainoo, Endrick, Garnacho and then Yamal, in their different teams, we are sure that the next generation of soccer players are still going to be as impressive as the present generation that are all almost retiring.
Spain 3 - 3 Brazil
This result is more of a better result for Brazil. After defeating England, they were able to still not loose this game despite being two goals behind early. The team will grow some self believe with this result.
