The contest between Uruguay and France ended with a narrow one-goal victory for Uruguay.

In the other match in the same group, Costa Rica beat the host Qatar team 2-0.

The Qatar team lost both games in the group stage and has no hope of qualifying.

Turning their heads, the Dragons faced off against the African Cup of Nations champions Cameroon.

The strength of the Cameroon team is not bad, the FIFA ranking is similar to the current Dragon Team, and the strength is similar, but the Cameroon team's attention to the Confederations Cup is far from comparable to the Dragon Team.

However, even in this case, the Cameroon team still created a lot of trouble for the Dragon team, and the two teams fought hard for 90 minutes before the Dragon team finally won 3:2 with a small score of 3:2.

Subsequently, the England team, which also belongs to the Commonwealth, and the derby match with the New Zealand team, ended with a 4:0 victory for the England team, which was more than one step higher.

After two rounds, England and Dragons have one win and one draw, Cameroon has one win and one loss, and both have the possibility of qualifying, and New Zealand has lost both games and has been out of the tournament in advance.

The matchup situation in the final round of matches is relatively favorable for the Dragon team, because the opponent is the weakest team in the group, New Zealand, and in this game, the Dragon Country team only needs to draw to advance to the semi-finals of this Confederations Cup.

"A draw is a qualification" used to be a curse of the Dragon Country Team, but now, under the leadership of the "Great Demon King" Shen Feng, a series of curses that once plagued the Dragon Country Team have been broken one after another, and "a draw is a qualification" also belongs to this list.

Facing the New Zealand team, the Dragon Country team never thought about the possibility of a draw, but they wanted to go all out to win!

Before the third round of the group stage of Group B, it was still the first game of Group A, and in the end, the host Qatar team lost 1:3 to Uruguay, losing all three games in the group stage, which made them realize that there is a real gap between themselves and the world's strongest teams.

The Qatar Football Association, which has always dreamed of achieving good results in the World Cup held on its home soil, has to admit that ninety percent of its plans over the years have failed in the face of this cruel reality.

Now I just hope that in next year's World Cup, the Qatar team, as the host, will not lose all three leg of the group stage and not get a single point like in this Confederations Cup.

In the other Group A match, France beat Costa Rica 1-0.

In the end, the Uruguayan team won the first place in Group A with a record of three group games, two wins and one draw; Although France lost to Uruguay in the second round, they won their other two games and finished second in Group A with two wins and one loss.

Costa Rica has three group stage games, one win, one draw and one loss, and the results are already very good, but they only ranked third in Group A and missed the semi-finals.

The host Qatar team lost all three games, did not score a point, scored only two goals, and finished bottom of the group.

On January 10, the last two matches of Group B of the Confederations Cup group stage started at the same time, with the Dragons facing off against New Zealand, the weakest team in the same group, and England and Cameroon fighting each other.

The Dragon Country team only needed a draw to advance to the semi-finals, and in this game, they were full of firepower, and finally beat the New Zealand team cleanly with a score of 5:1.

England also beat Cameroon 3-1.

In this way, the record of the dragon team and the England team in the group stage is also two wins and one draw, because the relationship between the two teams is a draw, so it is necessary to calculate the goal difference to divide the group ranking.

England have scored nine goals and conceded three goals in three group games, with a goal difference of six.

The Dragons scored 10 goals and conceded five goals in three group games, with a goal difference of five.

The Dragons are second in Group B with a goal difference and will face Uruguay, the top team in Group A, in the semi-finals.

For this result, the Dragon Country team does not care whether they are satisfied or not, because after reaching the semi-finals, the Dragon Country team's task of participating in the competition this time has been completed, and the victory or defeat of the next two games is not so important.

Although the Dragon Nation team also thought about fighting for the championship of this Confederations Cup, it was not urgent, and it was a bit casual.

The purpose of the Dragon Team to participate in this Confederations Cup is more on training, so in the first three group games, none of the starting lineup of the Dragon Team is the same, and the rotation is still very large, Lippi brought the 23 players to Qatar, except for the two substitute goalkeepers, the other 21 players, all of them were sent on the field to experience the atmosphere of the competition.

The Dragon Country team is now in a good emergency situation in the top 12 of the Asian zone of the World Cup qualifiers, and it is not only a certainty that the Dragon Country team has reached the World Cup finals for the third time, but it is also nine out of ten.

Therefore, the current Dragon Country team has begun to focus on preparing for the World Cup in a year.

Now this Dragon Country team, the lineup configuration, is still quite reasonable, the average age is not very large, only twenty-eight years old, and a year later it will only be twenty-nine years old, which is a good time to produce results.

In the last World Cup in Russia, the Dragon Team was not optimistic about it before the game, but finally advanced to the round of 16 as the first in the group, creating a big upset.

There has been an experience of advancing to the round of 16, and the goal of this World Cup, of course, cannot be set too low, not to mention the quarterfinals, semi-finals, and group qualification, which is the most basic requirement.

However, the group stage of the World Cup is not as easy to play as the Confederations Cup!

The overall strength of the Dragon Country team now, compared with the time of the World Cup in Russia, has improved significantly, and if the current Dragon Country team is transferred to the Russian World Cup, the road to qualification for the group stage will definitely be smoother.

However, although it has now become a strong team in Asia, there is still a big gap between it and the real world powerhouse.

Especially in the Copa America the year before last, after the unexpected victory over Argentina and Brazil, the Dragon Country team is also known as the world's strongest team, and those world powerhouses are no longer as despised or even ignored by the Dragon Country team as they were a few years ago.

In this case, it is simply impossible for the Dragons to try to trick themselves like they did in the Copa America.

It can be seen from this that the Dragon Team's journey to the Qatar World Cup is much more difficult than the World Cup in Russia!

It is even possible that in the lottery stage, he will be yin and be divided into the group of death!

The so-called "group of death" does not refer to the invincible strong opponents like the German team and the French team in the group, but refers to several opponents in the same group, whose strength is relatively average, and all have the hope of qualifying, so the competition will be more intense!
