Congo yes, because Portugal underperformed, not because Congo was outstanding.

Panama is an underdog, so there is nothing special about Ghana struggling to secure a late goal.

South Africa is losing today's match.
Actually Panama is rated higher than Ghana.

I hope Bafana Bafana do well but I wouldn't be celebrating with them if they do or commiserate with them if they don't.

Chase away illegal immigrants yes, but leave immigrants with papers that are employers of labour.

Any team in the world cup is formidable, atleast more than your Nigeria team!

FIFA WORLD CUP 2026 GROUP STANDINGS AFTER THE FIRST ROUND OF MATCHES

The first round of matches is complete and we already have a clearer picture of how things are shaping up.

GROUP A
1. Mexico - 3 Points (+2)
2. South Korea - 3 Points (+1)
3. Czech Republic - 0 Points (-1)
4. South Africa - 0 Points (-2)
Mexico lead the group on goal difference, while South Africa have work to do after a disappointing start.


GROUP B
1. Switzerland - 1 Point
2. Canada - 1 Point
3. Qatar - 1 Point
4. Bosnia and Herzegovina - 1 Point
The most balanced group so far. Everyone is level on points and goal difference.


GROUP C
1. Scotland - 3 Points (+1)
2. Morocco - 1 Point
3. Brazil - 1 Point
4. Haiti - 0 Points (-1)
Scotland are the surprise leaders after Matchday 1.


GROUP D
1. United States - 3 Points (+3)
2. Australia - 3 Points (+2)
3. Turkey - 0 Points (-2)
4. Paraguay - 0 Points (-3)
The United States have made an early statement.


GROUP E
1. Germany - 3 Points (+6)
2. Ivory Coast - 3 Points (+1)
3. Ecuador - 0 Points (-1)
4. Curaçao - 0 Points (-6)
Germany currently look like the team to beat after that massive opening win.


GROUP F
1. Sweden - 3 Points (+4)
2. Japan - 1 Point
3. Netherlands - 1 Point
4. Tunisia - 0 Points (-4)
A brilliant start from Sweden puts them in control.


GROUP G
1. New Zealand - 1 Point
2. Iran - 1 Point
3. Belgium - 1 Point
4. Egypt - 1 Point

Nobody has an advantage here. Everything is still open.


GROUP H
1. Uruguay - 1 Point
2. Saudi Arabia - 1 Point
3. Spain - 1 Point
4. Cape Verde - 1 Point

Another group where nobody has managed to pull ahead.


GROUP I
1. Norway - 3 Points (+3)
2. France - 3 Points (+2)
3. Senegal - 0 Points (-2)
4. Iraq - 0 Points (-3)
Norway and France are already setting the pace.


GROUP J
1. Argentina - 3 Points (+3)
2. Austria - 3 Points (+2)
3. Jordan - 0 Points (-2)
4. Algeria - 0 Points (-3)
Argentina start exactly where many people expected them to be.


GROUP K
1. Colombia - 3 Points (+2)
2. DR Congo - 1 Point
3. Portugal - 1 Point
4. Uzbekistan - 0 Points (-2)
Portugal still have plenty of work to do despite avoiding defeat.


GROUP L
1. England - 3 Points (+2)
2. Ghana - 3 Points (+1)
3. Panama - 0 Points (-1)
4. Croatia - 0 Points (-2)
England edge Ghana at the top on goal difference.

So after first round of matches, Germany, United States, Argentina, England and Mexico look the most convincing.

Which team has impressed you the most so far?
Argentina france spain and England.....to win in that order

Chase away illegal immigrants yes, but leave immigrants with papers that are employers of labour.
illegal immigrants is the excuse, and there is no place in the world without illegal immigrants but they don't behave like the South Africans.

Their major annoyance is the envy of how all immigrants (light or dark) have it easier than them, right in their own country...

Envy, and envy alone...

Every other thing is a smoke screen for their real grievances.

But of course, only the black immigrants are attacked because they are easy and soft targets.

Christiano Ronaldo could have been sweating 😅 after that draw with DRC.

Colombia are no pushovers, the Portuguese have a lot to do and may finish as 3rd best losers.

Those DRC boys are really determined.
Re: Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Thread by Kalulu44: 11:33am On Jun 18
Though not a fan of Argentina, but they're the most convincing team so far and the team to beat. Followed by France and England.
I can't put Germany in now bcus of the opponent they played.

So far, so intriguing. My wish is for South Africa to be kicked out of the competition right from the group stage.

So qualifying for world cup is what makes a team formidable? If Nigeria was able to defeat "formidable" teams like Tunisia, Algeria and Egypt to win AFCON bronze, are they not formidable in their own rights? The best team in the continent couldn't even defeat them in open play, they had to drag the game to penalties despite the very biased officiating towards the host. Nigeria is not in the world cup but I can tell you for free that they can take out at least half of these so-called formidable teams in this world cup

They will improve. They also need to rest Ronaldo and only let him play if the need arises.
