The World Cup is still in full swing, and all the heroes are fighting bravely to enter the knockout round.

Group E is over, and Group F is on the stage.

The situation in Group F is complicated, the scores of the two games in the first round are 1-1, and everyone is on the same starting line.

At half past one o'clock on the 20th, Paraguay and Slovakia competed at the Free State Stadium in Blounfontaine.

Paraguay looked very positive after the opening, and in the third minute, Valdés passed the ball and Santa Cruz fired a powerful shot from the edge of the box on the left!

The ball is saved by Mouha in the near corner!

In the sixth minute, Barrios passed directly to Valdés, and Valdés shot wide of the goal!

In the eighteenth minute, Morel crossed a free kick from the left, and Paolo da Silva missed a header on the edge of the six-yard box from the far post!

A minute later, Valdés crossed back from the left and Riveros' powerful shot in front of the box was confiscated by Mouja!

Paraguay's aggressiveness paid off in the twenty-seventh minute of the first half, when Barrios fired a through ball in front of the Slovak penalty area and Vela stabbed in the middle of Štěrba and Giuriča!

Football hits the net!

1 to 0!

Paraguay leads!

Slovakia then launched a counter-offensive, and Paraguay changed tactics and counter-attacked.

In the 41st minute of the second half, Paraguayan defender Paulo da Silva made a successful steal near the center circle, and then dribbled forward with a straight pass!

The ball passed through the gap between the two Slovak defenders and Riveros flew to the edge of the box and fired a powerful shot from the edge of the box!

Football once again penetrates the ten fingers of Slovak goalkeeper Muha!

Two to zero!

Paraguay defeated Slovakia and took the initiative to qualify from the group in their own hands!

At 4pm, defending champions Italy take on New Zealand at the Mbobella Stadium in Split.

Due to the difference in quality between the two teams, it was widely expected before the game that Italy would emerge victorious.

However, what was surprising was that New Zealand was the first to score!

In the seventh minute of the first half, New Zealand won a free-kick on the left side of the field, and they kicked the ball straight into the Italian box!

What is surprising is that this is not a very difficult goal, and the Italian captain Cannavaro actually made a mistake!

He didn't even get to play the football, and the football hit his thigh and fell!

New Zealand striker Smeltz flew out from behind him and stabbed the shot!

The ball flew past the right side of the Italian goalkeeper Marchetti and got into the net!

1 to 0!

New Zealand is ahead!

This overjoyed the New Zealand fans in the stands and stunned the Italian fans that their captain had made such a low-level mistake?

With the score behind, Italy launched a frantic attack.

In the seventeenth minute, Cannavaro received a corner kick from a distance, and Chiellini's diagonal shot from outside the top left corner of the small penalty area slid wide!

Italy almost equalized in the 22nd minute, Montolivo passed, Zambrotta fired a powerful shot from 25 meters from the goal on the right side, and the ball grazed the top left corner!

In the 27th minute, De Rossi passed, Montolivo took the ball on the right side, and shot 30 meters from the goal!

The soccer ball bounces off the ground and hits the left post and bounces back!

Two minutes later, Italy made a comeback, De Rossi took the ball and forced his way into the box!

Tommy Smith is in a panic and pulls De Rossi down!

"Tick! ……”

The referee blew a whistle and pointed firmly to the penalty spot with his right hand!

Penalty kick!

Equinta is all at once!

The defending champions equalised, which made the hearts of Italian fans hang.

Then, it will be down to overtake the score!

However, Italy disappointed their fans, and they used 18 martial arts in the following period, but they were never able to knock on New Zealand's goal again.

In the end, the two teams shook hands 1-1!

The defending champions have picked up two draws, which has been a big surprise.

The only thing that will please the Italian fans is that their team is still eligible to fight for the right to qualify in the final round.

Milan Sports criticized Cannavaro: Cannavaro, or Cannavaro, lost the goal in the first game against Paraguay, and De Rossi took the responsibility on himself after the game, but everyone knows that the person directly responsible for the goal is Cannavaro.

And in the game against New Zealand, the shameful goal conceded actually came from Cannavaro!

At that time, the New Zealander took a free kick from a 45-degree angle on the left side and flew over the crowd to the goal, Cannavaro and Smeltz ran to the goal at the same time, but Cannavaro, who put the opponent behind him, actually looked at the ball flying towards him, did not make any movement, and watched the ball smash on his thigh!

The "assist" was given to Smalz, and interestingly, Smalz seemed to have expected Cannavaro to miss the ball, and did not stop behind him, and cut straight in front of goal.

And where he took the ball and shot at the goal, it was only three meters away from the goal! What a "comfortable" assist!

In fact, one of New Zealand's few threatening shots in the game came from Cannavaro's 'assist'.

In the 62nd minute, the New Zealand team threw a throw-in, Cannavaro did not push the ball to the side, but directly directed the New Zealand player at the edge of the penalty area, but the opponent did not wait for the ball to land, a volley, which was worthy of grazing the corner of the goal out of the bottom line.

In the 82nd minute, Cannavaro was even hit by New Zealand's No. 20 substitute Wood after a head-on break, only to slide out of the far post!

In the 71st minute, Cannavaro received a light side pass from a teammate, and when no one was pressing, he tried to stop the ball on his chest, but it actually stopped in his hand.

Among the previous European Ballon d'Or winners and world footballer of the year, has there ever been a player who has performed so poorly at the World Cup?

Lippi once said: "In the World Cup, a 35-year-old player is more trustworthy than a 25-year-old. ”

But experience and form are always a contradiction, and it is true that Cannavaro was the best player of the last World Cup, the European Ballon d'Or four years ago.

But it is also undeniable that at Juventus this season, Cannavaro has behaved in a mess, not only did not get a contract extension, but also could not even stay in Europe, and had to go to Dubai to retire.

If a player who can only mix in West Asia plays a major role in this World Cup defending champion team, then what else can this team talk about defending the title?

Cannavaro has even lost the trust of his teammates, and a teammate on the defensive line once privately told an Italian reporter: "Cannavaro is no longer good, he has no confidence in himself now, and when I go up to assist, he often calls me back, which is very different from the past." ”

In fact, Italy's bench is not without other options, Bonucci on the bench has had an amazing performance in the warm-up matches, but he has no experience in the World Cup or even any national team competition.

He was joined by another substitute centre-back, Bochetti, who had not played in any major tournaments.

Italy's World Cup journey continues, Lippi still has a chance to choose again, in terms of experience and form, who will Lippi choose?
