Chapter 15: The Anglo-Argentine War
On June 26, the final round of the group stage of the World Cup will be played with four matches.
England manager Eddie Hoddle has always let Manchester United teenager David Beckham start under the constant criticism of the media, and Comrade Beckham did not live up to the love of the media, his free kick of the full moon scimitar tore open the door of Colombia, England won 2-0.
Although Romania were forced to draw by ******, they still won the group with two wins and one draw, while England were second.
The final match in Group H was also eye-catching, with Argentina beating Croatia 1-0 to top the group, while Croatia finished second.
It is undeniable that Croatia was suspected of releasing water in the last game, after all, no one in their right mind is willing to hit England with their eyes closed when they already know the result - there is no doubt that Romania is much softer than England.
Perhaps only Argentina will hear the name of England and rush up with red eyes.
Ling Feng and the others naturally watched this game, and when the god of war Barty scored the only goal of the game, Lao Ma's excited shouts almost lifted the roof - the two teams were born enemies......
The dust has settled on the round of 16 of the World Cup, while the quarter-finals have also surfaced.
Brazil vs Chile;
Denmark vs Nigeria;
Netherlands vs Yugoslavia;
England vs Argentina;
France vs Paraguay;
Italy VS Norway;
China VS Mexico;
Croatia VS Romania.
Ling Feng secretly made a phone call to Beckham, he didn't say much, he could only make a few dozen detours before the other party must pay attention to his temper when playing against Argentina, don't be too big - Xiao Bei is very strange, Ling Feng said to him what to do with this inexplicably, he is not a temperamental person, if you want to say this, you should go to Cantona to talk about it......
Even if you are not a hot-tempered person, you will have your own bottom line, who would have thought that Ling Feng, a guy who usually looks harmless to humans and animals, would chase after Schwarzenegger with such domineering attitude when he beats people? And Zidane will crash headlong into Materacci's foul-mouthed guy in the World Cup final......
In the first quarterfinals, the Brazilian team swept away the bumps in the group stage, and solved the South American brothers Chile cleanly 4:1, Sampaio and Ronaldo scored two goals each, and the aliens finally found their form.
The score of the second game was also 4:1, the Danish team showed their might, and the Laudrup brothers took the lead in knocking down the African eagles in the group stage and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
The third match, Netherlands vs Yugoslavia.
The flags of the two countries are very funny, and they are also composed of three colors: red and white orchid - the flags of many European countries, including the Czech Republic and France, are made of three colors.
But the problem is that the flags of the Netherlands and Yugoslavia are exactly the same as long as they are turned upside down......
Therefore, the fans are very careful when shouting and cheering, and must be careful not to take down the national flag......
The outcome of the two sides was also reasonable, with the Netherlands defeating Yugoslavia, who had just fought with Germany and had not had time to recover, 2:1 thanks to two goals from Ice Prince Bergkamp and Wild Boar Davies, and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
Although this game is also exciting, fans of some neutral countries are inevitably a little disappointed, after all, it is not Germany that meets with the Netherlands, and the two enemies have not met, which is the only regret.
It's just that, with the old body of the German team, how can it defeat the Dutch team that is in full swing?
The most exciting match of the quarterfinals has finally arrived!
The feud between the Netherlands and Germany has not met together, but England and Argentina have to fight in advance in the World Cup!
The stadium is Goffrey • and the referee is Dane Kim • Nelson.
As the fans wished, the opening ten minutes of the game saw the two sides hit a climax.
Dane Nelson played an irreplaceable role in the game, just six minutes into the game, Argentine midfielder Simeone fell to the ground when he burst into the box and faced Seaman's save - it can be seen in slow motion that this was a complete fake, because Simeone had fallen before Seaman pounced on him, but the referee didn't see it, and Simeone's acting skills gave Argentina a chance.
Barty's powerful volley, the ball flew straight into the bottom right corner of the goal, David•Seaman saved the ball, but he couldn't stand the force of the ball, and the ball rolled into the goal.
In the sixth minute of the opening game, Argentina led 1-0.
Barty and his teammates mimicked Bebeto's "lullaby" celebration at the '94 World Cup, and the Argentine laughed first.
The old horse excitedly smashed the wine bottle in front of him, and the wolf-like cheers made the nearby children unable to sleep.
But after only four minutes, the old horse couldn't laugh anymore.
Owen broke into the penalty area, Ayala realized that he was moving too much and raised his hands when defending, but at this time the golden boy Owen fell to the ground.
Perhaps because of the controversy surrounding the penalty awarded to Argentina, Nelson did not hesitate to give England a penalty.
Captain Alain•Shearer, in terms of shooting talent is definitely not inferior to the opposing Batistuta players.
His bombardment went straight into the top left corner of the net, and Roa couldn't do anything about it.
In the 10th minute, the Englishman also took advantage of a penalty to equalise.
The old horse began to shout, saying that the No. 20 England boy was a complete liar, and the fall just now was definitely a fake fall - this made Ling Feng and the others quite disapproving, Simone's fake fall just now was more obvious than Owen's, and you were still complacent for a while.
The phrase "to achieve the end, unscrupulous means", I don't know that it was the bastard bastard who said it a few minutes ago......
In the eighteenth minute, a world-class goal was born!
Irving! Golden Boy Owen! Owen, who played against Ling Feng at the World Youth Championships!
He scored one of the best goals in World Cup history!
Near the center circle, Beckham cleverly passed the ball to Owen who was inserted forward, and the 19-year-old did not pause in the running to unload the ball in the air with the outside instep, squeezed away Chamot, and used his speed to break forward!
The quick shaking flashed Ayala, and Owen didn't hesitate to shoot with his right foot in the face of the attacking Roa, and the ball flew into the door!
2:1 England overtake!
Except for Ling Feng, everyone was stunned by the goal just now, surprised by Owen's speed, as well as the excitement and value of this goal.
Sun Jihai and others, who had played against Owen at the World Youth Championships, couldn't help but feel cold in their vests, they defeated the England team, and did not give Owen any chance under Ling Feng's special training, but they didn't expect that the strength of this young player was so strong, so strong that he could decide the outcome of the game in such a battle of life and death!
This is no exaggeration, creating a penalty and scoring a world-class goal, the name Owen became a household name overnight, and some people even said that looking at today's players under the age of 20, only Ling Feng and Owen!
Ling Feng sighed, the process of the game was the same as in his memory, there was no change in the slightest, that is to say, when it came to the second half of the game, that scene would still be born.
Fortunately, Ling Feng chose to move to Manchester United next season, because next year will be the darkest year of Beckham's life......
After that, the two sides fell into a stalemate, and after enjoying the first 20 minutes of the game, this stalemate made the fans as irritated as constipated.
But at the end of the first half of the game, this feeling of constipation seemed to come suddenly, and Zhang Guozhou had a strong stomach, and suddenly became comfortable.
In the 45th minute, Argentina got a good free kick opportunity in front of the penalty area!
Most of England's players lined up to block Argentina's shots.
Barty and Veron were both in front of the ball, both of whom were free-kick specialists, so England had to be extra careful.
After a whisper between the two, Veron stood in front of the ball, while Batistuta, who had run past the ball, went straight into the box from the left and was ready to shoot.
Just when all the England defenders were leaning their defensive focus towards Barty, Veron unexpectedly passed the ball to the right, and Zanetti, who was waiting for the opportunity, flashed out from behind on the other side of the wall, stopped the ball with his right thigh, and then volleyed a half-high ball with his left foot!
David•Seaman was visibly ill-prepared and could only watch the ball into the net with little care.
This free-kick combination is a classic in the history of the World Cup, and it is not inferior to Owen's goal in the 18th minute!
Sweden and Romania scored a similar free-kick in the '94 World Cup, but that game was nowhere near as significant as the current one, with Argentina miraculously equalising just before the end of the first half!
Lao Ma fell off the sofa excitedly, but it didn't matter, although he and Passarella looked at each other unpleasantly, but their own country is their own country, and under Lao Ma's obscenity, the young players of the Chinese team had to cheer for the Argentine team - even if some of them liked England.
At half-time, the youngsters chattered about the first 45 minutes of the battle, and there was no doubt that it was an absolutely beautiful game, with equal quality, attacking football, and four goals, two of which were world-class goals, and for these youngsters, there was a lot to learn from such a wonderful game.
"Ling, what's wrong with you?" Maradona yelled excitedly with a glass of beer, but seeing Ling Feng sitting silently on the side, he couldn't help but ask very curiously.
"Diego," Ling Feng raised his head a little sadly, "Is it true that everything on the football field has to be judged by results, is it not in order to win, is all means allowed, does the hatred between the two countries have to be brought to the football field?" ”
"You!" The old horse on the wine burped with a look of disdain: "If the football game is not to be won, then what else should the game do, the stadium is like a battlefield, especially the World Cup, which represents the honor of the country!" What are you pretending to be high with Lao Tzu here, I didn't see you have soft feet when you kicked Japan! ”
Ling Feng was speechless, he didn't think from the position of Lao Ma, maybe the British and Argentines could become friends in the club, but when it came to the World Cup, when the two countries clashed, there would be absolutely no friendship at all!
That's right, China and Japan can't even talk about friendship, so why bother with the feud between England and Argentina?
If Ling Feng is allowed to play against Japan again, Ling Feng dares to guarantee that he will play heavier than the last time!
It's just that Little Japan doesn't dare to compete with China anymore, and Ling Feng doesn't have this opportunity......
In the second half, the situation changed abruptly, and only two minutes into the opening game, Beckham, who couldn't stand Simeone's harassment again and again, finally wiped Simeone's calf with his heel in anger after falling to the ground......
There were two men in charge of the game, one was Owen, who created a penalty and scored a goal, and the other was Simeone, who also created a penalty......
Simeone fell exaggeratedly, and the Danish referee Nelson was standing next to him!
David Beckham realized the mistake of youth, and he received the first red card in World Cup history for his youth!
England have one less player on the pitch than their opponents!
After that, there were slight waves.
Campbell's header was cancelled out after Shearer charged goalkeeper Roa first, and England's Adams and Argentina's Ayala touched the ball in their own box, but Nelson chose to let it go.
The two sides had to go into a brutal penalty shoot-out.
This is the first penalty shootout of this World Cup!
Everyone held their breath and watched the situation on the field silently.
Finally, in the penalty shoot-out, substitute Batty came on Crespo and Ince missed one after another, but England's David Batty was saved by Roa in the end......
Argentina won, with boss Pasarella rolling on the turf in a suit and England falling to the penalty spot for the second time in a row at the World Cup.
A thrilling world war has finally come to an end with such a result.
Is it complete? No one knows......
