June 27, Rustenburg Real Bafken Stadium

Vardy stood in the tunnel and looked at the grinning black buddies in the queue opposite, and he didn't know whether to be serious or just as silly as them.

Ghana has a good level of football and a top representative player, but this representative player missed the World Cup due to injury, I have to say, this is a bit of a bitterness.

The African buffalo Essien is a Ghanaian, an absolute first-class football player, who defines the super back of the word beast waist.

It's just that this cargo has never been angry, and every time there is a big tournament, there will be an injury, and the only major tournament that has really represented Ghana is the 06 World Cup.

06 Africa Cup of Nations, missed due to injury;

In January 10, he suffered a serious injury in the first game of the Africa Cup of Nations, ending the Africa Cup of Nations ahead of schedule;

In May '10, he had just returned to training and was injured again, this time missing the quadrennial World Cup;

And Vardy also knows that in the 13 Africa Cup of Nations in his previous life, Essien still failed to catch up, and the reason was still injury......

Vardy would love to play against Essien, and after leaving the Premier League, he never had the chance to play against the Buffalo again, and Vardy really missed that feeling.

Well, it's a bit hypocritical, it's just a kickball, and it's not a blind date, how can there be so much emotion.

Apart from Essien, there are a couple of people in the Ghana squad that Vardy knows well.

Muntari, Vardy's teammate in Milan, but Muntari also performed very well in the World Youth Championship, and other times it was not very eye-catching, and he couldn't play the main team in Inter Milan, and he was a fringe player in the rotation.

Striker Gian, who later played in the middle of the country, has the ability, but it always feels that it does not match his high salary, and it is worth mentioning that he has scored two goals in the group stage, and it is two penalties.

Midfielder Boateng, who has dual Ghanaian and German citizenship, and it is incredible that his brother chose to play for Germany while he chose to play for Ghana, and the two brothers have just fought to the death in the group stage as opponents, which is the first time in the history of the World Cup, which is simply unheard of.

In addition, there are Juventus striker Asamoah and other strong players, in general, Ghana is not weak, otherwise it is impossible to get out of the group.

It's just that the problem is obvious now, even if Ghana has good strength, but in the face of a strong England, even Germany can only retreat and dare not face the hard anal, what capital does Ghana have to wrestle with England!

If you simply consider the intensity of the game, I am afraid that this is equivalent to Inter Milan playing a mid-table team in Serie A, not to indulge, but always to relax.

The game also proved this, England with super control ability completely dominated the field, and the Ghanaian players had no strength but could only smash around like headless flies, and finally hit themselves on the head and broke the blood.

In the opening 10 minutes, Jamie Vardy headed in a corner and Ledley King, who started the game, slotted home Ghana with a powerful header from inside the box.

Although the England defenders have the embarrassment of regrouping, even if the two central defenders are slightly weaker defensively, they also have the ability to reverse, and Vardy's corner kick footwork has become a great weapon for England to attack the city.

After England scored, Ghana counterattacked for a while, but the tactical execution ability is not strong, and they can only rely more on individual breakthroughs to threaten England's defense, which is obviously not enough.

In the 22nd minute of the first half, Vardy broke the ball in midfield and rushed all the way like riding a small motorcycle, striding away from the interception of two defenders and directly into the Ghanaian penalty area.

For England, Jamie Vardy is here, will the goal be far away?

For Ghana, Jamie Vardy is coming, will it be far to concede a goal?

Each superstar has their own tricks and areas, such as Messi's corridor, such as the Villa area, such as the Piero area, and then the Robben area, etc., in this small area, their ability is enough to be fully displayed and create the greatest threat.

However, the definition of Vardy's area is the entire frontline, which means that Vardy can create enough threats to score anywhere in the area.

It's a bit like the fans teasing Kante later on, and Kante's running heat map covers the whole stadium, like God, everywhere.

After entering the penalty area, Vardy was not polite, let alone greeted the owner very politely, and walked away with a shot, which was as outrageous as a robber bandit.

It's just that Ghana can't do anything about Vardy's bandit, at least on the football field, Vardy's actions are not illegal......

With a two-goal lead, the rest of the game is much simpler, and the only suspense is how many more England can score, whether Wayne Rooney can score, whether Vardy can score twice......

England fans are excited, even in the knockout round, England's performance is still enough to crush the opponent in front of them, who can resist such a state?

And the Ghanaian fans are about to cry, they finally broke into the round of 16 of the World Cup, but they met a big devil like England, if they change their opponents, who says they will not win?

But now it's too late, the game is all played to this point, and no one can save Ghana.

In the second half, England began to slow down the tempo and control the game, and although Ghana did not have a headless attack, but seeing the poor effect, everyone began to mourn for Ghana.

It lasted until the 70th minute of the second half, when Frank Lampard's burst of effort finally killed all the suspense of the game, and England beat Ghana with a complete score to advance to the quarter-finals.

On 75 minutes, Jamie Vardy was substituted and received cheers and applause from the fans, with Vardy sitting on the bench and feeling bored.

No challenge, where is this like a World Cup knockout round?

The World Cup is the carnival of world football, and that's true, but you can't knock out the tournament anymore, or a pre-dinner hors d'oeuvres, right?

Expanding participation will inevitably affect the level of excitement, which is an unavoidable problem.

If there are only 16 teams participating in the World Cup, then the World Cup will definitely be much more exciting than it is now, but the attention will inevitably decline.

Well, isn't it good to have an easy race?

It's time to prepare for the quarterfinals, although I don't know who the opponent is in the quarterfinals, but Vardy knows that at that time, it will definitely not be the same as now, and it will definitely be able to break into the quarterfinals, even if it is a little-known team, there will definitely be two brushes!

I just don't know which team in South Korea or Uruguay can stand in front of him, and if Vardy is given a choice, then he will not hesitate to choose the stick.

Because he wants to score double digits in this game!
