Chapter 582: The Flames of War Continue
In Group E, Serbia are three points ahead of the other teams, but they will face Switzerland and Brazil next, so their prospects of qualification are not clear, Switzerland will face a strong Serbia next, and the prospect of qualification is also worrying, while Costa Rica is basically farewell to this World Cup due to their strength and points status.
Brazil are currently on only one point, which is not satisfactory, but it will be easier for them to get at least four points against Serbia and Costa Rica, so it is still Brazil who have a more optimistic prospect of qualifying from this group!
Group F has been complicated by Germany's upset, but this may be limited to Germany's ability to score six points against Sweden and South Korea.
Rather awkward are Sweden, who have already secured three points but will face Mexico and Germany, both teams who have little chance of winning.
In order to qualify with the current performance, the South Korean team can be said to use calculations to calculate how many points can be scored on Mexico and Germany.
The top two teams in Group G, England and Belgium, both won three points in their first game, and since the next two games between the two teams are against one weak and one strong, the two teams have a good chance of getting another three points, and the two teams can even play the tacit score that the two teams need when the two teams meet directly in the last game.
And Tunisia and Panama can only pray for God to qualify, and Belgium and England are almost certain to qualify!
In Group H, Colombia's upset loss in the first round has made the qualification situation the most uncertain of all groups.
None of the four teams has a clear advantage against the other, all in all, all four teams in this group have a greater chance of qualifying, and at the same time, they all have a greater probability of exiting, and the last two games lead to a reversal of the qualifying situation is too variable!
With the end of the match between Poland and Serbia, the first round of the World Cup is over, and the top 32 are all present.
The most eye-catching performances were Russia and England, the only two teams to win by five goals.
Germany emerged as the most embarrassing team, the only favourites to lose.
