The World Cup in South Africa is in full swing, and it is a hot summer for many people in the world, but it is winter there.

But don't worry, because the winter there is just as cool and pleasant as the autumn around us, and the sky is high and cloudy.

The pristine savannahs, the animals unique to Africa, the blue beaches, and the wild enthusiasm on the field all tell the unique atmosphere of South Africa, the diamond kingdom.

Now that the World Cup schedule is halfway through, let's take stock of the performance of each team (Penguin.com):

Group A: The absolute underdogs, France and hosts South Africa all went home from the group, and the two American teams, Uruguay and Mexico, qualified for the last eight, just yesterday.

Group B: Maradona's Argentina are solid, but Lionel Messi's performance is disappointing, and the surprise is South Korea, who have beaten the African eagles Nigeria, and Greece have completely lost the dark horse of the European Championship.

Group C: There is no danger, I thought that Britain and the United States would join hands to qualify, but it turned out that there were unpopular but definitely not so many, what was surprising was Mackqin's performance, full of dominance! And yesterday, they also made it to the last 8 and then meet Uruguay.

Group D: Germany's youngsters showed their style and were definitely favourites to win the tournament, with Ghana, Sevilla and Australia in the mix, but obviously Ghana had the better luck, but yesterday they met England and that luck came to an end.

Group E: The Netherlands are looking forward to tulip opening, with Robben, Sneijder, Robin van Persie and Liverpool Lam Kuyt in the attacking line. Japan overwhelmed Denmark and Cameroon and fought their way out!

Group F: Italy's worst World Cup trip, they didn't even have a win, and it seems that winning the title in '06 consumed all their energy, the second biggest upset after France. Paraguay and Slovakia qualified hand in hand.

Group G: Brazil and Portugal, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, join hands to qualify, perhaps this is what fans want to see the most, they only want to see superstars, Robinho and Fabiano become Brazil's forward protection. North Korea completed its mission, and Côte d'Ivoire performed less than expected.

Group H: Spain took a nap and then it became the desperate Spain of the last European Championship, Villa's madness dwarfed the injury-affected Fernando Torres, and I would have voted for the team who won the tournament. Chile's qualification was expected.

In the next three days, the next 6 1/8 finals will be played, namely Germany vs the United States, Argentina vs Mexico, Netherlands vs Slovakia, Brazil vs Chile, Paraguay vs Japan, and Spain vs Portugal.

If there is no new upset, then the fans and friends are blessed, according to the division situation, the top 8 you will see the Netherlands (Lan) Brazil (West) battle, Germany (country) and Argentina (Genting) battle.

And the last game of the 1/8 finals, the Spanish and Portuguese battles are also quite eye-catching, Ronaldo's first season at Real Madrid is not unimpressive, he scored more than 30 goals throughout the season.

But he is still living in the shadow of Barcelona, and the Champions League has not helped Real Madrid to reach the round of 16, this time he will still face Spain with Barcelona as the team, as well as many Real Madrid teammates.

Whether he and Nani, Deco, and Carvalho's Portugal can beat Spain will determine whether his performance in this World Cup is amazing or mediocre!

"Sister Na, don't worry, they're already on their way," said the person in charge of contact in a suit in a hotel in Johannesburg in the afternoon.

Li Na, dressed in casual clothes and braids, is sitting on the sofa reading a magazine, and her skin tone is healthy and shiny from playing tennis for a long time.

"It's okay, what a big name, and it's during the competition, it's normal, and I'm fine", Li Na put down the magazine and shook her head to indicate that it didn't matter.

"Oh, Sister Na, don't mind, we really didn't mean to", the man hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

If you want to blame the board of directors, you have to shoot an ad on the fly, toss the dead, since they became the global sponsor of the World Cup in South Africa, the appetite of the leadership has grown.

It's not enough to buy a lot of billboards in the World Cup, but you have to invite the most well-known domestic sports stars to advertise, Brother Yao and Brother Xiang have searched all over them.

Now I have to find Makqin and Li Na to shoot together, saying that the athletes are sunny and green, which matches our brand image very well.

He didn't know if Mark Qin would shoot them to death if he knew that the board of directors said this, you guys are a good match for green, and your whole family is a good match!

But to say that the energy of the board is really big, Li Na can understand that tennis is an individual event, as long as the game time is not well arranged, but the Makqin family is playing the World Cup again, and has just finished the 1/8 finals.

They really invited it, although it didn't take an hour, but he didn't know how much it would cost, anyway, it must be astronomical for him.

"Haha, Xiao Wu, don't be nervous", Li Na waved her hand and said with a smile, "I speak straight, but I don't mean that, I really don't blame him, they are all athletes, I can understand"

The person who was called Xiao Wu was obviously relieved, and saw that he would have to wait for a while before sitting down and chatting with Li Na for a while.

After an hour, as the door opened again, a casual man with broken hair walked in.

As soon as he came in, he exaggerated and shouted: "Sister Na, I'm glad to be there, I'm late, I'm sorry", that Sister Na shouted very kindly, only many people who watched Li Na after the Olympics how to come step by step understood the weight of Sister Na.

Even many people who don't like to watch tennis are conquered by her personal charm of being honest, persistent, and hard-working.

Li Na looked at Ma Qin's outstretched hand in surprise, but that impatience had already been struck by the sincere and affectionate Sister Na.

A sincere smile bloomed on her face, "Hello, what should I call you, Mr. Ma?" Mark? ”

"Don't", Mark Qin looked like you were born, "It's okay to call Xiaoma, or Xiaoqin, come, this is my daughter-in-law, come and call Sister Na", he let Isabella explain.

"Sister Na is good," Isabella said with a smile in half-baked Chinese, and at first glance she had been taught.

"Don't listen to his nonsense", Li Nale was happy, pulled her to sit down, and said in English instead, "I already knew you, I am more beautiful than the photo, he is blessed"

"I'll tell you, Sister Na, they told me that I only took this advertisement because of you", Ma Qin continued to be familiar with Shen Kan, and the memories of the past youth suddenly rippled.

"I'm committing a crime against the wind, and I finally made sense with Capello, I just want to meet Sister Na and you, otherwise who knows what Jerry Group is, green energy and why it has nothing to do with it"

"You're ranked 10th in the world now, Niu", he gave a thumbs up, "Wozniacki, you know each other, we're good friends, and she admires you too."

Li Na's whole person was blindfolded, and no one told me that Ma Qin was a rambling person, and he couldn't interject.

Xiao Wu of Jerry Group couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, and he didn't know whether he should convey it to the leader, forget it, pretend to be deaf.

"Keqin", Li Na thought about it with a smile and a smile, it was better not to hold it up, "Wozniacki I know, you are almost number one, you two are young, I can't compare, the first time we met, I didn't expect you, uh, so talkative"

"That's not a problem, Sampras's old man is almost 35, you haven't come to the top yet, you will definitely win the Grand Slam ...... in the future", Makqin sat down and looked like the tea party began.

Next to Xiao Wu, a crow flew over his head, big brother, what are you doing here? , are we still shooting commercials?

As a result, after Ma Qin and Li Nashen talked about it, they filmed a commercial that could play for 5 seconds.

The two of them held up the earth that was said to be produced in the later stage, and said like SB: "Green earth, green energy, Jerry guards!" ”

Poof...... Isabella burst out laughing!

……

When Mackin returned in the afternoon, Germany defeated the United States 5-1 and completely turned themselves into the number one favorite to win the championship.

The world was stunned by Germany's terrifying attack and solid defense, and the German team returned in 1990!

There is a body, there is technology, there is discipline, there is organization, and the results of Germany's youth training reform after 02 years have exploded in this World Cup.

Then in the evening, he watched the live broadcast of Argentina's 3:1 defeat to Mexico, and no one would have thought in advance that Argentina in this World Cup would not achieve Messi, but Higuain.

That's right, it was him again, after Mexico's equalizer, scored a crucial goal to overtake the score, and also temporarily ranked himself for the top of the scorer list!

scored a hat-trick in the first World Cup, and scored a goal in the knockout round, judging from the data alone, he is even more beautiful than Mackqin.

The German-Arab war, freshly baked!

The three top scorers are Muller, Klose, Higuain and, of course, Messi, Tevez, Aguero, Lahm, Mesut Ozil, Piggy......

Meet in the quarterfinals!

In terms of the number of stars alone, this is definitely the most star-studded matchup since the start of the World Cup!

Not one of them!

Can Germany continue their hot form, and whether Messi can complete the redemption of the World Cup, now he only has a pitiful 0 goals and 1 assist!

This is definitely the most eye-catching game in the top 8, and it has even surpassed the popularity of Makqin.

The hottest heat of the World Cup has only been truly ignited from now on, and only when it reaches the top 8 will it be filled with all kinds of strong dialogues, and the world of football is like this.

Too many neutral fans don't care about tactics at all, and what they want to see most is a lot of stars fighting on the field.

Most people don't spend their time watching a game played by players they barely know on either side, no matter how exciting.

Mackin forgot the specific score, but he knew that Argentina lost, not only this time, but also the next one, and Messi's position as the king of the ball was ruined in the hands of the Germans.

Argentina have been inextricably linked to Germany since Maradona, beating Germany in the final of the Polo King in '86, losing to Germany in '90, and then 20 years later.

Messi's current position as Maradona's successor is unshakable, but his fate, like that of an old horse, is also a fate, not to mention this time.

Let's talk about the 2014 World Cup final in Brazil, which was the closest moment Messi came to the king of the ball, and even within reach, but he lost at the feet of the Germans again.

A kid named Gotze dashed all hopes, and the legend of the king of the ball has largely disappeared ever since.

In the original world, since the alien Ronaldo's swan song in 02, individual heroism has suffered an unprecedented failure.

For three consecutive years, Italy, Spain, and Germany have finally won the Hercules Cup by virtue of their incomparably strong overall football.

Maradona in '86, Schiraci in '90, Baggio in '94 and Romario, Ronaldo Zidane in '98, Ronaldo in '02.

The heroes of the session have faded away, the story and reality are entangled back and forth, Makqin, Messi, Ronaldo, they are opponents, but to a certain extent, they are comrades-in-arms!

Only those who are like them, with strong football skills and standing at the top, will have that kind of desire.

That is, no matter how much time has passed, everyone remembers that there is only one name for that World Cup.

Just like Maradona, Romario, Baggio, Zidane, Ronaldo, all that left a mark in everyone's mind was that it was a World Cup in ×××......
