QUARTZYANY: “You have to get down to earth. It’s almost impossible to beat them.”

Famous Ukrainian coach Vitaly Kvartsyany He evaluated the chances of the Ukrainian national team against potential opponents in the World Cup: Netherlands, Tunisia and Japan.

– Among the authorities, isn’t the Netherlands the worst option?

– I think yes. I would not want to see Argentina, England or Spain as the opponents of the Ukrainian team. You may also remember the French. If they have the best players in their squad, it will be almost impossible to beat them.

– So it turns out there’s a potential conflict for us…

– Normal. But to get through the play-off round, you first have to come down to earth and do everything. Sweden has not yet shown its full potential. In the spring, this team may be of much higher quality than it was in the qualifying tournament. I think the Scandinavians are stronger than Japan and Tunisia. Therefore, all concentration should be on the March matches.

Let us remind you that the Ukrainian team will face the Swedish team in the play-off semi-finals of the 2026 World Cup qualifying round on March 26, 2026. If they win the decisive match to qualify for the World Cup, Sergei Rebrov’s team will need to beat the winner of the Poland-Albania double on March 31.

Pochettino: The US will have confidence in themselves, otherwise it will not be easy to leave the group

Head coach of the US national team Mauricio Pochettino announced the results of the draw for the 2026 World Cup. Yogo words cause FOX.

“It’s amazing what we will achieve in six months. We recently played with Paraguay and Australia, and we even have new knowledge.”

Then the team from Europe will be even stronger in this group. We must be optimists, continue to struggle and develop. Now we can only analyze the commands and see what will happen in a few months.

We can respect all superniks. Everything won’t be easy. We know that Paraguay performed very well in the American selection tournament. Until we played them, Australia hadn’t lost in 12 or 13 games.

It’s great that the team arrives before us. Despite all my efforts, we believe we can go far. “It won’t be easy for us,” Pochettino said.

The US is in the same group with Paraguay, Australia and Turkey/Romania/Slovakia/Kosovo.

Tuchel: I can’t guarantee England will win the World Cup

Head coach of the England national team Thomas Tuchel spoke about his team’s prospects in the upcoming 2026 World Cup. Yogo words suggest ESPN.

“So now I believe more than ever in our victory, just because we have become stronger. It is our fault to come and work particularly hard. But I cannot guarantee that I will win at the tournament.”

Everyone knows that we cannot guarantee that we will be victorious, but the fans want to build a united team, team spirit, a team that gives all its strength and fights one by one. If football is feasible, then I think anything is possible.

We are good enough to think about it, and we are good enough to try to overcome it,” Tuchel said.

After the draw for the 2026 World Cup, the England team has reached Group L, where they will play against Croatia, Ghana and Panama.
