Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread
On UEFA qualifier, Iceland was having a lead against France but the 45th minute penalty for France made the game 1-1 by the halftime. Hungary and Portugal too are playing 1-1 at 52nd minute. Both of these are relatively easier group so a draw would not be very devastating for either france or portugal.
Iceland played quite well in this match, but unfortunately, they failed to maintain their victory. One goal scored by Iceland made France become more aggressive and put on continuous pressure, so it was very clear that France really dominated the course of the match. France managed to equalize just before the first half ended, and they managed to turn things around when Barcola scored the second goal in the 62nd minute.
Hungary 2 Vs Portugal 3 FT
Impressive game to watch and the visitors were clearly the better team in the match of 5 goal thriller. With Ronaldo's goal tonight, against Hungary his now leveled on 39 goals with Carlos Ruiz in the men's international qualifiers and needs one more goal to the top scorer of the men's international qualifiers. What a record that Ronaldo is breaking each and every time his stepping on the pitch.
This was an exciting match, even though Portugal dominated the game, but Hungary did not want to give up easily. Hungary lost a lot in terms of ball possession, but I think they had quite good effectiveness, therefore they were able to score 2 goals even though they didn't have many chances.
