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.

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 also planned to bet on England but canceled after reading the news about Kane, Walker, Johnstone, Maguire, Pope, Shaw, Trent, Grealish, Saka and several England key players will not play in the match against Belgium due to injury.
However, England is still has a chance to win, or at least they have to be able to get a draw.
It would be embarrassing if England loses at home again after 3 days ago Brazil wins 1-0 at Wembley.

Correct for the schedule depending on the time zone of the country of presence.

The draw of this match depends on each team playing the match. If each team considers this match as not just a friendly match, then the game will be interesting even though the goal of the friendly match is for the coach's assessment to see the teamwork of each player who has been selected.

I'm never lucky with predicting international matches especially friendlies since there's nothing to fight for by these teams. Last week, I couldn't predict any of the games — France lost woefully to Germany and England lost to Brazil? But if I'm predicting this round of features, I'd probably tip England to win vs Belgium.  Belgium played alright in their last game but lack clinical finishing. England on the other hand needs to come out from their box of shame and get a victory here. Germany to win, then Brazil to win as well.

TLDR:

• Germany W
• England W
• Brazil W

I might be wrong but these seems like high conviction plays to me.

I guess it depends from what part of the world you are in but if we follow GMT time then the matches will take place on Tuesday 26. I suppose East parts of Asia and Australia will find the timing as Wednesday 27 but kinda late at night
Anyway, these games look interesting and worth to follow

Some interesting games, on paper at least. It all depends on how much effort the players put in though as they are friendlies and also what XI each coach picks as these games aren’t always the strongest players.

With international tournaments in the summer, coaches will know their best players but they might want to see some of the younger/fringe players in action. I would not feel too confident betting on friendlies.

All these big matches will be played on the 27th, Wednesday or tomorrow and not Tuesday 26 March.
For me, these three selected matches are more exciting because I can see the potential of each player. As for betting, I think it still requires deeper analysis because this is a friendly match, even though a few days ago, the six teams have shown their abilities in every match.

As for the England - Belgium match, I will support England because of the support of the national team, England is still my idol team for a long time.
The England national team has so many talented young players who have the potential to become future players.

I will be honest here and tell you that I never thought this game could end with a win for Brazil while England doesn't score. I thought about all other possibilities and saw the chance for these different results to happen, but not a 0-1.

But you know, it is still friendly games and those games are the ones where making bets that you'd otherwise not place can make you a lot of money. There have been a few examples in this round of friendly games as well. But I am often too afraid of taking the risk. But as I said I didn't consider the 0-1 for Brazil vs. England as a probably or let's reasonable likely outcome.

Now everyone is thrilled to see who is going to the EURO 2024 and who will get kicked out. Wales vs. Poland is quite a nice game.

So far it is not really that much important to bet on friendlies, and games that matter are quite few, these are all just trying to figure out how to find some good players that will have high chemistry with each other and play well. The best thing we can see right now would be just players that rest a little bit, that way when they get back the games will be more fun. Did not bet on any of these international games and not plan on doing that at all, I will just let it be.

I hope that the team games comes soon enough and we will play on them, next weekend has some games and the week after that has all of them back, so it is just one more week to wait, a few more days, and we are going to finally have that much better games for sure.

From what I see, in Group F there is Iraq which is dominating the group, then Indonesia is in the second place followed by Vietnam with 1 point difference.
So if Indonesia could win this game then it will be more comfy in the upcoming games, otherwise a draw could let them second but closely followed by Vietnam and a defeat will be a big problem obviously.
Regarding the last matches between these two teams, Indonesia seem to be favourite with 2 victories in the last two matches with 2 draws in the last five games.
Indonesia played relatively good in the last Cup. Hopefully your team could make it tomorrow and secure 4 points difference from Vietnam!

Considering the quality of Brazilian players that played that game against England, I don't think it's expected of anyone to say that it was a messy team. The Brazilian national team is made up of quality professional footballer that are capable of beating any national team in the world. The truth is that the team have been on decline in recent months but that doesn't have anything to do with the quality of players in the team.
In that game that was played at the Wembley stadium, I expected the Three Lions of England to win the game but surprisingly, they weren't able to do it. The most embarrassing statistics in that game is that England didn't only fail to win the game but also failed to find the back of the net in that game. However, despite the result, I think the English national team is currently a better team than the Brazilian national team and if the two teams meet each other in a strong competition, I'll bank my money on an England win

In the second round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers Grup F, my country will visit Vietnam. Yes Indonesia, After Indonesia won 1-0, on Tuesday they will compete again. I hope Indonesia can win, because there will be many new descendant players like Tom Haye and Ragnar Oratmagoen who play in the Dutch League. Although I am also sad because many core players are suddenly ill and cannot appear like Ivar Jenner. I hope Indonesia wins 0-1, although it's a little difficult because Vietnam is also performing very well. . If Indonesia is able to win then the opportunity to enter round 3 is very large. Indonesia will also appear in the 2027 Asian Cup without qualification if Indonesia Enter round 3.

I never look at the Brazilian side as a messy team because just as England players have a lot of talented players, the Brazilian side also are not short of talents. They also have some of the best players in the world playing in the best leagues, so to me they were equally matched with England.

It was not a pass, it was Vinicius trial at goal, that was pushed in the direction of Endrick by the goalkeeper. He placed it cooly an celebrated loudly his first international goal.

Indeed.

Brazil were one of the favorite teams predicted to win the competition last time, they did not, so we expect them again in the next competition, they have a talented team that can win it, they just need better management.

With a very messy team, Brazil defeated a strong team like England. With Brazil's recent decline in performance and the disarray of this team, as a Brazil fan I wasn't expecting Brazil to win against England, but Brazil did. 

In the 80th minute of the match, young up-and-coming star Endrick finished brilliantly with a great pass from Vinicius Jr.  Endrick's lone goal sealed the win for the team. Despite such a team condition against the likes of England, a win will undoubtedly restore the confidence of the team's players and management. 

At one time I saw such a discussion where many people said that Brazil will not be able to qualify for this World Cup. If Brazil does not qualify for the World Cup, the World Cup will be incomplete because when the football World Cup starts, Argentina and Brazil are the most talked about.

It was a quite interesting coincidence that Austria and Germany scored goals only 7 seconds after the matches started.    By the way France wasted a lot of chances and deserved that loss. The team effort wasn't good enough. Germany looked like there was really some progress in their game after getting really bad results for a long time.

This is a friendly match at the end of the day though. But these matches are like a rehearsal for Euro 2024 for these teams.

As Germany is the host country in this Euro they had better show the same effort there also. I really liked Musiala - Wirtz duo in this match so their star youngsters can play a big role in Euro 2024 too.

Friendly matches are usually meant to see how far the team has progressed and see the team's weaknesses so lost or win is not too important but indeed from this loses Southgate can evaluate which side should be improved whether it defensive lines or attacking lines besides that this match also  the intention is to consider which players Southgate will bring to Germany for Euro 2024 i didn't watching this match but i can see England and Brazil was attempts to playing with young players and i have been notice Southgate was putting Ollie Watkins as the striker and finally he can makes his debut match with England national team but some people says this is predictable because Ollie Watkins is onfire with Aston Villa and Southgate probably will putting him into England squad for Euro 2024 later

Besides Ollie Watkins i can see Anthony Gordon too in the squad and previously Anthony Gordon was into England U-21 squad and finally Southgate has decide to playing him yesterday and after seeing the current squad for England i will assume this team will be dominate by young players on Euro 2024 and for Brazil finally Douglas Luiz can return to playing again with this team and talking about Endrick his debut match indeed run well because he can scored and bringing Brazil to beat England and probably this result too can be used for Ancelotti to prioritize Endrick to playing with Real Madrid next season

Although we could not compare official matches with normal ones, yet friendlies could give an estimation about the performance of each team and the issues they have in different lines, in addition to testing new players.
There is few interesting friendlies matches left in my opinion:

Tuesday 26
England - Belgium
Germany - Netherlands
Spain - Brazil

There is many games in between but those are the most interesting though. England, Germany and Spain to win maybe?

The game was quite entertaining and competitive, both teams gave their best in that match. Southgate is used this match to give opportunity to some players to see how ready they are for the Euros. But it's quite unfortunate that they couldn't capitalize on that and deliver a good result that will convince the manager. But despite the loss they played very well, you know you can't always win in football all the time. I just hope Kyle Walker injury is not that severe and not the one that will keep him out for a long time, I wouldn't like the situation where he will miss the Euros.

England vs Brazil 0-1

Lots of young players in this match. England have Maino and Endrick. Indeed in this match England lost many experienced players like Kane and Saka. This defeat is still a big task for Southgate because they will meet big teams at Euro 2024. This defeat is the first since the 2022 world cup quarterfinal match against France.  If you look at this match it seems that England is ineffective in midfield. English players are too slow to send the ball. This is in contrast to Brazil who are faster. It seems that Sothgate must change that, so that the ball flows faster and does not lose the moment.
