England's opponent in the first round of the knockout round is Colombia!

While praising England's advancement, the British media also criticized the team's poor form.

The Guardian said: "England qualified and showed their quality in the game, but they wasted plenty of chances to open the scoring without a key attacking player, losing to Belgium in the third round and finishing second in the group.

But that's already the case, we have to get back into training as soon as possible, get back into training and face our knockout opponents with a positive attitude.

After the game, the major mainstream media in England reported and commented on the game for the first time.

England generally believes that England's 1-0 loss to Belgium was due to the team's lack of attacking power on the bench, which led to the loss, and Jones, who scored 5 goals, and Kane, who scored 4 goals, have become the saviors in the hearts of English players.

England's official website said of Jones and Kane: "They are the guarantee of England's victory, England have found real heroes, you are England's now!" It's the future of England! ”

'We lost to Belgium in the third round and we finished second in the group, but we qualified and we were ready for the knockout rounds. Southgate has set his sights on the 1/8 knockout rounds.

After the game, the Times Times gave Jones a high score of 9: "In the game, his accurate passing, his incisive breakthroughs and his shooting were very threatening, making him the biggest contributor to the England team. ”

However, the other players in England who have qualified have also been criticised by the national media, which is very strange in the eyes of many.

The British Guardian analyzed: In fact, this is because England has won the first two games, and the English media and fans have seen the victory of traditional English football, with a gorgeous and smooth attack.

In the final game of the group, Southgate hid a bunch of key players, especially putting Kane and Jones on the bench, which made the attack sharply reduced.

In this case, England's bench did not play the attacking trend it should have, so the media and fans in England were a little dissatisfied.

Jones Kane had a poor record without playing, and they were not happy with the performance of their substitutes and had a faint concern in their hearts.

When Jones and Kane come on the pitch, the two important attack points of the England trident, the tacit understanding between them, can make England's attack gorgeous!

The two of them are the guarantee of England's victory, which can make England win praise from the media and fans.

So, the only thing Southgate is looking forward to now is for the two of them to have a healthy body!

England, who have scored 11 goals in two games, is still the most attacking team in world football today, and they are still the favorites to win the championship.

…………

The day after the final group stage, the brutal knockout rounds began, with the winners continuing their march to the title, while the losers had to go home to end their World Cup journey in Russia.

First up will be World Cup regulars Argentina and former World Cup runners-up Argentina, not Portugal vs Uruguay and Spain vs Russia, which ended earlier in the group stage!

The two teams with similar World Cup honors can be said to be evenly matched.

France has participated in the World Cup 15 times, the best result in the World Cup, the 1998 World Cup winner, the 2006 World Cup runner-up, the 1958 World Cup third place, and the 1986 World Cup third place

Argentina has participated in the World Cup 17 times, the best result in the World Cup, runner-up in 1930, champion in 1978, champion in 1986, runner-up in 1990 and runner-up in 2014.

In the history of the two national teams, the two national teams have played each other 11 times, with Argentina winning 6, drawing 3 and losing 2, scoring 12 goals to 7

The two teams have met twice in the World Cup, Argentina 1-0 France in the 1930 World Cup and Argentina 2-1 France in the 1978 World Cup.

In the end, the French team topped the group standings with 2 wins and 1 draw and 7 points, and reached the knockout stage as desired.

France will face Lionel Messi's Argentina at the Kazan Arena in their first quarter-final match at 10 p.m. on June 30, where they beat Australia to get their World Cup off to a flying start.

Before the start of the World Cup, the authoritative German "Transfermarkt" website gave a ranking of the total value of 32 participating teams, and the French team topped the list with 1.08 billion euros, and the average value of each player in the team was nearly 47 million euros.

In this year's French team, in addition to Dembele, the highest value is Mbappe's 120 million euros, Griezmann's 100 million euros and Pogba's 90 million euros.

Mbappe's overall performance in the group stage was reasonable, and in the first game against Australia, Mbappe was the only player among the three starting strikers who was not replaced by Deschamps.

In the second game against Peru, Kylian Mbappe scored the only goal of the game for France, and the team was able to collect three points, and the attacker, who is still under 20 years old, is a superstar for France.

Griezmann plays for Atletico Madrid as France's leading star, and is the first striker of Atletico Madrid, and the players are skilled and have a good goal efficiency.

Mbappe is a super-potential star, the player even has outstanding skills and maturity, and is favored by the outside world as the successor of Melo, and this World Cup has taken over the No. 10 jersey with a symbol of status and strength.

As for Messi, Messi's strength is needless to say, one of the peerless doubles, but the rest of Argentina's strikers are slightly sluggish.

Messi's attacking line is not dominant with Griezmann Mbappe's youth storm, but Messi is a creative player, and it is difficult to say what the outcome will be.

One of France's big problems is that it is slow to heat up, slow to get into the state, which will greatly affect the trend of the game, if the team wants to have more chances, it must stay nervous and focused.

The quarter-finals of the World Cup are all single-elimination games, with a 90-minute regular time draw followed by 30 minutes of extra time, and a draw in extra time will go straight to a penalty shootout.

France has a clear backfield advantage in the face of Argentina's strength on paper, with Griezmann Mbappe Giroud in the team's forwards, and Dembelemar on the bench also has good strength, which is not much different from Argentina's forward line.

France's midfield can cut off Argentina's midfield very well, as long as the midfield is controlled, France can take advantage of it, the current Argentine midfield is out of touch, Argentina's three group games are not good, and there is a certain element of luck to win the final game, Argentina is estimated to be difficult to resist even if there is Messi who has returned to form.

Both in terms of world rankings and performance in the group stage, France are superior to Argentina, so it is widely believed that France will win this game and advance to the quarterfinals.
