Six teams from Europe have qualified, seven teams from the Americas, two from Asia and one from Africa.

Europe and the Americas remain the two strongest continents in world football today, with Ghana becoming the only African team to qualify.

The top half of the zone is home to strong teams like the Netherlands and Brazil, and the second half is even more fierce, with Argentina, Germany, England, Spain, Portugal ......

The day after the end of Group H, the more 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 South Africa.

First up were Asian powerhouse South Korea and former world champion Uruguay.

Uruguay scored four goals in the group stage and kept not conceding a single goal, which shows just how well they defended.

South Korea scored five goals and conceded six, and the defense was average.

Both in terms of world rankings and performance in the group stage, Uruguay are better than South Korea, so it is widely expected that Uruguay will win this game and advance to the quarter-finals.

South Korea's number one star Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung did not think so, saying in an interview with South Korean media: "Although people are not optimistic about us, we will win in the end!" ”

At 4 p.m. on the 26th, the first match of the knockout round was played at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth!

South Korea, who were the first to serve, were very patient in attacking Uruguay, and in the fourth minute of the first half, Maxi Pereira brought down Park Ji-sung in front of the penalty area, and the referee awarded South Korea a well-placed direct free-kick.

In the final game of the group, South Korea drew 2-2 with Nigeria with two free kicks to finish second in the group.

Hope appears in the eyes of Korean fans!

Park Joo-young's free-kick goes around the wall and flies towards the near post!

Just as the South Korean fans were about to cheer for the goal, the football flew off the bottom line by grazing the post!

"Boom! ……”

There was a huge cry of regret in the stadium.

In the ensuing game, Uruguay launched a wave of attacking frenzy, and in the sixth minute, Forlan found a chance on the edge of the box and volleyed!

The shooting angle of this ball is average, and the strength is also average, and South Korean goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong saw the football firmly in his arms.

Uruguay came back two minutes later, Edinson Cavani cut inside from the right to split the ball to the left, Forlan took the ball and slid past Kim Jong-woo before crossing the open space behind the South Korean defence.

South Korean goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong was not decisive enough to stop the football!

This is a fatal mistake!

Suarez, who was ambushed at the back point, flew forward and shot with a push!

Soccer ball into the net!

The ball is in!

1 to 0!

Uruguay leads!

It was also Suarez's second goal of the tournament!

In the ensuing game, there was a fierce battle between the two sides in midfield, with both sides going back and forth and creating a few shooting chances, but neither took them.

The score remained 1-0 until the end of the first half.

At the start of the second half, South Korea, who were behind the score, launched an onslaught, and they had no way back.

In the 23rd minute of the second half, Lugano knocked down Park Ji-sung, and the referee blew a whistle and awarded a free kick to South Korea.

The ESPN commentator exclaimed: "Can South Korea use this free-kick opportunity to equalize?" ”

In the last game, Ji Sung-yong, who made South Korea's first goal, stood behind the football.

"Tick! ……”

After a whistle, Ji Chengyong kicked the football towards the goal!

Uruguayan full-back Vittorino clears the ball with a header from the middle, but his header doesn't go far and flies to the left side of the six-yard box!

Li Qinglong flew forward to grab a header from a small angle before Lugano and goalkeeper Muslera attacked!

Soccer balls fly to the goal!

Seeing that the football was about to fly into the goal, Uruguayan full-back Fusile rose into the air on the goal line, and he wanted to volley away!

But his foot didn't touch the football!

The ball is in!

The score became 1-1 and the Koreans equalized!

ESPN lamented: "In modern football, set-pieces have become a great weapon for scoring goals, and South Korea's last three goals have all been completed by free kicks! ”

The South Korean fans in the stands were going crazy, although they achieved the best result in history on home soil in the '02 World Cup - fourth place.

But this result has not been universally recognized by the world, and many people think that they have bought off the referees.

South Koreans have been holding back their energy, hoping to prove themselves again.

This goal gave them a new hope of qualifying!

The two sides were back on the same running line, and every touch of the ball on the pitch could change the situation on the pitch, and the atmosphere was almost suffocating.

In the 35th minute of the second half, Uruguay got a corner kick opportunity, and Forlan sent the corner kick into the South Korean penalty area!

South Korean centre-back Lee Jung-so leaped high to push the ball out of the box, and Uruguayan midfielder Lodeiro who was ambushed in the arc of the box did not head the ball directly at goal, but pushed the ball to his left.

After Suarez took control of the football, he suddenly cut inside and dodged Kim Jong-woo's block!

"Smack! ……”

Suarez followed up with a scuffle!

The ball made a beautiful arc in the air, flew past the fingertips of South Korean goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong, hit the inside of the far post, and bounced into the net!

The ball is in!

Two to one!

Uruguay is leading again!

Suarez scored twice, his third goal of the tournament!

Suarez raced all over the field with excitement......

The goal hit the South Koreans too hard, and after the game began, they launched an even more frantic attack, and Uruguay decisively changed their tactics and switched to defensive counter-attacks.

They formed one solid defensive line after another in front of their own penalty area to deal with the South Koreans' frantic counter-attacks.

In the 42nd minute of the second half, the South Koreans ushered in the best chance to equalize, Park Ji-sung made a direct pass outside the penalty area, Lee Dong-guk stopped the ball in an offside position and burst into the penalty area, and volleyed without anyone marking it! The soccer ball flies towards the right side of the goal!

Uruguayan goalkeeper Muslera flies to save!

But he couldn't pounce on the ball under him, and the ball continued to roll towards the goal!

Fortunately, the football slowed down and did not roll into the goal, so Muslera hurriedly pounced on the football under him, and finally resolved the goalmouth crisis!

"Boom! ……”

There was a huge cry of pain on the pitch as the South Koreans missed the best chance to equalise.

In the minutes that followed, the Uruguayans didn't give the South Koreans a chance, keeping the score 2-1 until the end of the match and advancing to the quarter-finals!

The South Koreans can only say goodbye to the World Cup in South Africa with regret.

After the game, the South Korean players fell on the turf in pain, and the Uruguayan players hugged each other passionately......

Suarez was the result of the game, and after the game, it was said that many big clubs had begun to pay attention to the Uruguayan star.

The French team newspaper commented: Of Uruguay's 6 goals so far in this World Cup, Suarez has scored 3, directly assisted 1, and created 1 penalty!

In other words, most of Uruguay's goals are directly related to him!

If the cage point calculation can be counted as 3 goals and 2 assists, the value of the Eredivisie Golden Boot in this World Cup has been confirmed.

Don't think about it, the giants who plan to snap up Suarez have already squeezed their heads!

Earlier it was widely reported in the British media that Manchester United were ready to sign Suarez for £25 million, but Suarez had a sober plan for his future: "The Premier League is a great game, if people like Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal come to talk to me, we will negotiate. But let's be honest, my lifelong dream is Barcelona. ”
