However, after a week or two of the various chess games were slightly popular, something even more interesting happened.

A real fire in a game suddenly became popular on the streets, second only to the national "Super Girl" a year ago - the German World Cup turned children into fans in an instant like a fire.

Although, most of the children only became pseudo-fans of the fans during the time of the World Cup.

Looking at the crowded Munich on TV and the brightly lit Allianz Stadium (home of Bayern Munich), Xiao Zhen looked particularly excited.

Staying up late for the first time, Xiao Zhen experienced the head and foot of the talented striker Klose.

So, after two days, Klose's poster was plastered all over the small real walls.

However, at this time, the real heartthrob is David Beckham.

England's first match, which was broadcast live at 9pm the next night, was a real spectator for all, seemingly waiting for the magical effect of the Best's arc.

Back at school, Xiao Zhen found that it seemed that the girls fell in love with Beckham all at once.

As soon as she sat down in her seat, Xiaoshi asked, "Do you know Beckham?"

"Well, you know, that handsome guy from the British team, the world's No. 1 free-kick goalscorer. Xiao Zhen said without thinking.

"So, can Beckham win the championship?" asked Xiao Shi again.

"It's going to be tough, but it's also Brazil, Germany. Xiao Zhen thought about it and said.

"Are the Brazilian team and the German team strong?" asked Xiao Shi.

"The champion and runner-up of the last edition. Xiao Zhen thought about it and said.

"Haha, I'm optimistic about the Italian team this time. Xiaojie ran over and said.

"Well, I heard that, the man with flowing hair is very powerful. Xiao Zhen thought about it and said.

'That's Andrea Pirlo, the real soul midfielder, the engine of the attack. Xiaojie said with a smile.

"Anyway, though, I still think Klose is good and it seems to be on the news that the Italian team is in some kind of 'phone gate' right now. Xiao Zhen said.

"Come on, Klose, haha. However, the Italian team may indeed be affected by this incident. Xiaojie said with a smile.

"Why, what's the problem? A shooter who is so strong at his chance, last night's operation was exciting to think about. Xiao Zhen thought about it and said.

"I was cheated by this guy four years ago. Xiaojie said a little speechlessly.

"How can you be pitted? obviously shoot so well?" Xiao Zhen said.

"Alas, four years ago I was a German football fan. However, at that time, this Klose was completely looking for weak teams to brush up on the data. That's why my favorite Kahn didn't touch the World Cup. Xiaojie said distressedly.

"Come on, you were in second grade four years ago, are you sure you can read the ball?" said Xiao Zhen with a smile.

"I started playing football when I was seven years old, and it happened that China got a ticket to the World Cup, so my dad planned that I would win the World Cup at this time. Xiaojie thought and said.

"Then why don't you practice now?"

"It's not the World Cup four years ago, although the national football team almost scored the goal of the Brazilian team with a shot, but it still disappointed my dad. Xiaojie said.

"Well, do you like football, isn't that your own path?"

"I like it, but I still don't have the talent to go professionally. Xiaojie thought for a while and said.

As the class bell rang, Xiaojie immediately returned to his seat, and Teacher Peng quickly walked into the classroom.

"Well, it's the World Cup every four years, but everyone is still growing up, so try not to watch the game if you stay up late. Teacher Peng said with a smile.

"Okay. The students replied in unison.

However, many male students still watch the game with their father in the middle of the night.

In the group stage, most of the matches were relatively harmonious.

Among the stronger teams, only Ukraine, the Czech Republic and France have a more tortuous journey.

Led by Shepchenko, the Ukrainian team has a very strong attacking force.

However, the central midfield still has obvious weaknesses in defence, so in the first game it was defeated by Spain, who have many good midfielders.

However, in the next crucial second game, the Ukrainian team played very steadily, and Shepchenko, known as the "nuclear warhead", performed very well.

As a result, because the last game was facing a team that had no ambitions, it could be regarded as locking the qualifying place for the round of 16 in advance.

However, the journey of the Czech team, led by Nedved, was the opposite of that of the Ukrainian team.

In the first match, the Czech Republic, ranked second in the world, defeated the United States team without any suspense.

However, it can be seen that age seems to be a serious problem for athletes.

The Czechs, although not tired, were still much less moving than the United States, and the injuries to the main strikers in the game laid a serious problem for the rest of the game.

Although the 34-year-old Nedved has a wealth of experience and a strong will, as a central attacking player in midfield, it is clear that he cannot help the equally aging Czech team go far.

Against the young Ghana team, the Czech defence looked pale and weak.

Even if Nedved was able to run as aggressively as Mateus, the injured Barosz (Czech striker who played flawlessly at Euro 2004) was not able to swing as sharply as Klinsmann.

At the same time, the almighty goalkeeper, Petr Cech, was unable to stop the leaking levee and eventually conceded a goal in a series of onslaughts from Ghana.

As a result, in the second game of the group stage, the world's second-ranked Czech team suffered a seemingly shameful defeat.

However, in the face of Ghana's youth storm, they really can't run.

However, there are still chances, and as long as there is a draw in the next matches, there is hope of qualifying.

Facing the Italian team affected by 'Phonegate', the aging Czech team seems to be half-hearted.

In terms of lineup: although it is not as luxurious as the Italian team due to the injury of the striker, but in general it still has the strength to fight.

After all, the trapped beast is still fighting, and Barosh and Nedved in the front court still have a good chance of shaking the door of the Italian team, which also seems to be in poor form.

Since the Czech Republic played a 3-0 match against the United States, while Italy only drew with the United States, there is no obvious disadvantage in mind.

After careful preparation, the Czech Republic faced a strong Italian team in very good form.

In order to qualify, Nedved played very aggressively, and the injured Baros was also looking for opportunities.

However, in the match against Italy, against a group of people who know each other in the club and league, Nedved found that no matter what he did, he could not break through the door guarded by Buffon.

In the face of the best goalkeepers in the world and the best group of defenders in the world, the injured Baros also looked very helpless.

As time went on, the aging Czechs' attacking tempo gradually declined.

On the Italian side, the attacks launched by Pirlo appeared more agile in waves.

With the group runners-up set to beat Brazil in the knockout rounds, Italy did not play very conservatively after taking the lead.

In the final minute of the first half, a fatal red card was an early announcement of the fate of the Czech team, and Ghana was basically a ticket to qualify.

However, the Czech team, with one man less, is still very strong.

After all, there is still time, and hope is there.

Next, Nedved even got a solo chance.

However, in the face of Buffon's five-finger pass, it still did not work.

While Petr Cech and Gianluigi Buffon were equally impressive, the Italian attack was more varied.

As time went on, the holes in the back were gradually taken over by the Italian team, and the 33-year-old veteran Inzaghi (Italian striker) seized the time to once again penetrate Cech's five-finger pass to kill the suspense of the game and put an end to Nedved's dream.

The "golden generation" of the Czech Republic, dreaming of broken hamburgers. Of course, a few families were happy and some were sad, and the Italian team gradually came out of the shadow of 'phonegate' in this game.

However, the elimination of the Czech team is still something that most people do not want to see.

After the match against Italy, Iron Man Nedved slowly fell to his knees in the middle of the AOL stadium in Hamburg.

The scene brought tears to the eyes of both the Czech and Italian fans.

Similarly, fans around the world shed tears in front of their televisions, and Nedved, who would never cry, became synonymous with fortitude.

As Buffon and Nedved walked to the dressing room step by step, the live broadcast ended.

Everyone was imagining what it would be like to walk into the locker room.

Nedved, who never cried, ultimately failed to make the Czech Republic go far, but his persistence will always inspire those who came after him.
