Volume 2 University See Long Zaitian Chapter 84 The Rhapsody of England in the World Cup
The group stage of the World Cup between South Korea and Japan is all over, and the Chinese team, which participated in the World Cup for the first time, did not score a goal and conceded 9 goals. Many domestic fans are very dissatisfied with the performance of the national team in the World Cup and are angry.
In contrast to the Chinese pairs, Japan and South Korea, as Asian national teams, performed perfectly, at least in terms of results. Both won 2 and drew 1, and advanced to the knockout stage as the first place in the group.
Another Asian team is the West Asian tycoon Saudi Arabia, whose performance in the group stage of this World Cup is worse than that of the Chinese team. In the first game, they lost 0-8 to the German tank, lost 0-1 to the African eagles Cameroon in the second game, and lost 0-3 to Ireland in Europe in the last game. He didn't score a goal in three games, but lost a total of 12 goals, three more goals than the Chinese team.
A total of four Asian teams participated in this World Cup, and the results of the group stage showed a scene of ice and fire. Japan and South Korea, who were on hot form, both finished top of the group. Huaxia and Saudi Arabia, which are in a cold state, have lost three games in a row, conceding an average of 3 goals and 4 goals per game.
Defending champions France were unexpectedly eliminated in the group stage and went home, and I am afraid that there will be another wave of TV sales in France.
France lost 0-1 to African big-breasted Senegal in the first game, drew 0-0 with South American powerhouse Uruguay in the second game, and lost 0-2 to Denmark, which also belongs to Europe, in the final game. After three games, only 1 point was accumulated, and like the Chinese team, they did not score a goal.
In this comparison, the Chinese team, which participated in the World Cup for the first time, is still forgivable for not scoring a goal. You see, the defending champions haven't scored a single goal. It's not that the national army doesn't work hard, it's just that the enemy is too cunning.
The defending champions, the European champions, didn't score a single goal, which is weird. Some people say that France is paying off the debt of the World Cup on home soil four years ago.
The Samba Army, who lost the World Cup four years ago, were clean in the group stage this time, winning three games in a row and scoring 11 goals. The attack power of 3R makes all the heroes fearful. Their age composition is also reasonable.
Senegal, the big-breasted African brother who is participating in the World Cup for the first time, unexpectedly broke through from the group stage and performed well, which is worthy of praise.
South America's Pampas Eagles Argentina were beaten out in the group stage by arch-rivals England and Sweden, in what is likely to be the last trip of the war god Batistuta. When they failed in the group stage, the man, known as the god of war, shed unwilling tears. I don't know how many female fans shed tears for Barty's loss and sadness. This is a very attractive man.
Portugal, led by the golden generation, lost 0-1 to hosts South Korea in the final game of the group stage. Portugal was sent off two players in this game, and the first red card should be undisputed, Pinto's ferocious back tackle, this red card is not unjust. However, Beto's second yellow card was controversial and the score was still 0-0.
At the end of the group stage, some people are naturally happy and some are sad. The best performance was the Brazilian team of the samba army from South America, with incomparable attacking power and wonderful samba dance steps to bring fans an unparalleled visual enjoyment. The worst performance was not the three teams without a win, but the defending champions France, who did not score a goal and did not win a game. It's a mystery.
The Brazilians are the undisputed favourites, followed by Germany. The Germans are nowhere near as strong in attack as Brazil, but they have been much better defensively, conceding just one goal in three games, as you can tell from the stats. They have a door god Karn.
What can bring fans endless fun in football games is always the sharp attack, gorgeous passes, exquisite passes and difficult goals. Attacking representatives include Brazil in South America and the Netherlands in Europe, and the Dutch failed to make it to Asia at this World Cup. The rest of the Brazilian team did not disappoint fans around the world, contributing many spectacular goals. It's a lot of talk and an aftertaste.
Since the beginning of May, advertising campaigns in the streets, shopping malls, and TV networks have been dominated by content related to the World Cup. It is the first time that the Chinese team has entered the World Cup, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the advertisements as dense and overwhelming. In these years, advertising has nothing to do with the World Cup, and it feels like it's all done in vain.
SH Group, of course, is also keeping up with the trend of the times, SH Bank has launched a theme card for the 32 teams in the World Cup finals, as well as a series of star commemorative coins, all made of metal materials, divided into platinum, gold, silver, copper and other materials.
SH Real Estate has carried out activities in real estate projects all over the country, with a large screen for fans to watch the live broadcast and replay of the game, free beer for those who shoot and challenge the winners, and autographed genuine game uniforms from the stars when they buy houses. The owners of the lucky draw, the prize is the ticket to the Chinese team's games and round-trip air tickets, go to the scene to cheer for the national team.
Dinghua hotel chain has launched 8.8% discount on room rates during the World Cup, and 20% discount on hourly rooms during individual periods.
All resorts will receive a 20% discount on spending during the World Cup.
From south to north, the weather gradually warms up. Food stalls, make an appointment with three or five friends, have some barbecue, a bag of peanuts, and a few bottles of cold beer to cool off. Usually, the sea blows in the south and the north, and during this time, the most talked about is naturally the World Cup.
The vast majority of domestic fans watch the game live on TV or in replay. Those who can go to the scene to watch the game belong to those who are rich and free. At this stage, the problem of food and clothing has been basically solved, and the common people do not have too much spare money to pursue cultural and spiritual enjoyment. But it can participate in the feast of the World Cup at a very low cost.
When it comes to the knockout stage, the round of 16, there are only two games a day, and this stage of the competition can be ended in four days, and the survival of the fittest will produce 8 teams to advance to the top 8.
On the first day of the round of 16, Germany vs Paraguay and England vs Denmark. The German team played against Paraguay at 14:30 in the afternoon, which happened to be Saturday, and it was the Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional Chinese festival. On this day, you can eat rice dumplings, drink beer, and watch the ball game at home with peace of mind.
The World Cup matches in South Korea and Japan were all played in the afternoon and evening, and the Chinese fans were both happy and sad. I'm happy that I don't have to stay up late to watch the game, and I'm sad that I have to find an excuse to slip away on weekdays.
On the first day of the round of 16, it was not surprising that both traditional powerhouses passed the test smoothly. Germany showed their defensive and overall superiority, but the attack was really underwhelming, but fortunately, they won by a small goal and became the first team in the last eight.
England did well, beating Denmark by three goals. The lineup of the England team in this World Cup is probably the strongest in the past 30 years. Their fans, their people, have high hopes for the team. After all, it's been a long, long time since their national team has won a major trophy. The last time was the World Cup in their home country in the 60s of the last century. The World Cup of iron, the players of the flowing water. England have not been able to lift the Hercules Cup that their die-hard fans have been hoping for for for decades.
This time there are Shearer and Owen in the forwards, David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard, McMaraman in the midfield, and Campbell, Ferdinand, Neville, and Cole in the backs.
From their performances in the group stage and the round of 16, it also confirmed that this group of stars is by no means in vain. The team's performance in the World Cup is very strong, and the fans who stayed in England naturally drank a lot and drank every day!
They are now successful in their way through the last eight spots. According to the format, their opponents in the last eight will be the winner of Brazil and Belgium. Judging by the South Americans' performances in the group stage, they are also in excellent form. If there is no accident, the Belgian team, known as the European Red Devils, is probably preparing to go home.
In this way, England's opponent in the last 8 is the Samba Army. Although the media is advocating the 3R in the Samba Army, we also have a young man chasing the wind, a Pei arc, a double virtue, and the world's most valuable central defender. We're not worth it at all, it's South American. Well, there should be no problem with winning it by two goals.
Win against the Brazilians and we'll be in the semi-finals. The opponents in the semi-finals are none other than Sweden, Turkey, Japan, and Senegal. It's not blowing, none of these can hit. Mei Zizi, smooth thing, stable, see you in the final.
In the final, the opponents were none other than Germany and Italy. They should meet in the semi-finals and will surely fight until extra time. The two sides are exhausted from fighting, well, it won't be a soft-footed shrimp in the finals. Definitely, yes, absolutely.
When the time comes, they will have to defend desperately, and there is no denying that they are very solid defensively. The average team, there is really no way to take them. For such a turtle shell, it is impossible to stab it without a very sharp knife.
But our empire where the sun never sets, it's not some cats and dogs. We have sharp knives, and the boy chasing the wind understands it. You go back and take a good look, four years ago, in the battle with Argentina, you rode through the barrier and won the head of the enemy general.
Some buddies say that the defense of Germany and Italy will not be like the South American eagle, and it is impossible to give the wind chasing boy such a broad space to play.
Yes, I also know that the defense of Germany or Italy is not comparable to that of the eaglet. But they always foul, right? Beck arc, have you ever heard of it? Oh, you know.
A wonderful arc passed through the trembling human wall, and the door god Kahn or the young player Buffon slammed down, but he didn't even touch the ball, the ball went in.
The Hercules Cup will be back on the British Peninsula once again.
