#广场预测世界杯赢40000U 2026 World Cup · Predictions | Is Cristiano Ronaldo too old to score? At 1 a.m., witness Ronaldo's "Dusk Fantasy"

The second round of the North American World Cup group stage is in full swing. If the first round was a test, then the second round is the crossroads that determine fate. Some teams will advance early, while others stand on the edge of the cliff.
Tonight Beijing time through tomorrow morning, four matches will be played in turn, spanning three countries across North America. I boldly share my predictions here, waiting with you for the matches to verify.

First match:
Portugal vs Uzbekistan — Ronaldo’s Record Night, the Respect Battle of Central Asian Wolves
The time comes for Ronaldo’s sixth World Cup. This alone is a script that even science fiction writers wouldn’t dare imagine. In the first match, Portugal showed enough control, while Uzbekistan fought hard, but on the World Cup stage, experience is often a scarcer resource than physical strength.
Uzbekistan’s defense line is considered a fortress in Asia, but facing Portugal’s lively runs and interweaving attacks, their turning speed will be severely tested. I predict Ronaldo will open his scoring account in this match, proving to the world that his skills are still sharp. Uzbekistan might hold out for a while, but Portugal’s goals will come eventually.
Prediction: Portugal 2-0 Uzbekistan

Second match: England vs Ghana — The Three Lions’ Error Correction Ability and the Fateful Cycle of African Stars
England’s performance in the first round may not be entirely reassuring, but under Southgate’s years of coaching, their stability in the group stage is unquestionable. Ghana is full of talent, but their emotions are like African drums—sometimes passionate, sometimes chaotic.
In the 2010 South Africa World Cup, Ghana eliminated the United States in the Round of 16, and that journey is a story of old grievances. Now in Boston, England needs to secure the initiative to qualify early. I favor Bellingham’s dominance in midfield; he’s like the heart of the England team, beating stronger, bringing the Three Lions closer to victory. Ghana will score, but they can’t hold out.
Prediction: England 3-1 Ghana

Third match: Panama vs Croatia — Modrić’s Final Tango and the Canal Army’s Passion
If you love football, cherish every minute of Modrić’s presence in the World Cup. This midfield artist is using the twilight of his career to compose his final act for the Croatian team. Panama, like their world-famous canal, is full of strength and confrontation but lacks some finesse in dribbling.
The key to this game is tempo. Croatia will try to slow the game down into their familiar one-two-three passing rhythm, while Panama hopes to smash through with physical clashes. I believe that as long as Croatia withstands the first 30 minutes of impact, Modrić can use a deadly through pass to kill the suspense of the match.
Prediction: Panama 0-1 Croatia

Fourth match: Colombia vs Democratic Republic of the Congo — Eagles Soaring, Leopards Fierce
This might be the most entertaining match of the day. Colombian football carries the magical realism of South America, with Díaz’s breakthroughs like lightning illuminating the entire pitch. Democratic Republic of the Congo, a mysterious African force, has physical qualities that can trouble any opponent.
The high-altitude climate of Guadalajara may become an invisible variable. But Colombia clearly adapts better to this technical style of confrontation. I expect Colombia to go all out in this game; their front line will make the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s defense scramble. The Congo’s counterattacks may yield some results, but Colombia will score more goals.
Prediction: Colombia 3-1 Democratic Republic of the Congo

Let’s witness how these stories unfold together.
