186 Finals
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the opening ceremony began on time. www.biquge.info It was a brief opening ceremony in which Brazilians performed their passionate samba and football skills in a theatrical program, and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff officially opened the 2014 World Cup.
Brazil and Costa Rica, the two belligerents in the opening match, entered the stadium and after the national anthems of the two countries were played, FIFA President Sepp Blatter symbolically kicked off the two teams. Then, the first game officially began.
Brazil are the hosts and they are also the team with the most titles in the history of the World Cup, but they have never won the title on home soil, which is a pity, so they have high expectations for this World Cup and hope to win the World Cup on home soil.
The weak Costa Rica team is naturally not the opponent of the ambitious Brazilian team, in this game, the Brazilian team that occupies the right time and place played a jaw-dropping 8:0 score, Brazil's striker Neymar, who is known as Pele's successor, scored a hat trick, and the 32-year-old Kaka also played at a very high level, he scored two goals, and the "Hulk" Hulk also scored two goals, and Lima also scored a goal in the second half of the substitute Kaka.
Brazil got off to a flying start, declaring their ambitions to win the World Cup with a slick victory.
In the other Group A game, Poland defeated South Africa 2-0, and Zurich striker Robert Lewandowski scored twice to help Poland overcome their strong opponents and take a solid step on the road to qualifying from the group.
After watching the opening ceremony, Xiao Yang and Wen Wan flew to the city of Belo Horizonte, where the Swiss team was playing. Except for the Swiss team's games and a few important games, Xiao Yang didn't want to go to the scene to watch the rest of the games, he was too tired to take a plane every day, but he could see it on the TV anyway, so it was better to leave the time in the world of the two with Wen Wan.
Although Xiao Yang is engaged to Wen Wan, he has to lead the team to play games everywhere and has a lot of trivial things to do in the club, so there are not many days with Wen Wan, he always feels a little indebted to Wen Wan, and this time he came to Brazil to watch the game, which can be regarded as a vacation with Wen Wan.
In the past few days since he came to Brazil, Xiao Yang has accompanied Wen Wan to play around, and the relationship between the two has also heated up sharply, which makes Xiao Yang regret that although the two have basically done everything that should be done between couples in the hotel, but the last step Wen Wan has always kept a clear mind and refused to let Xiao Yang succeed, she said that she would leave that thing until the sacred wedding night, and Xiao Yang had to respect her opinion.
The World Cup continues, Portugal beat Cameroon 1-0 in the first two games of Group B, Coffingho and Ribeiro both started, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the only goal, and England beat South Korea 4-1; In the first two matches of Group C, Germany defeated the United States 3-1, while Argentina beat Senegal by the same scoreline; In the first round of Group D, the Netherlands beat Colombia 3-0, while Sweden also beat Canada 3-0.
On 16 June, Group E matches began, starting with Uruguay's match against France, which won 3-1.
Next, at 7 p.m. local time, the Swiss team will face their first opponent of the tournament, Saudi Arabia, at the Estadio de Mineiro.
Swiss coach Heathfield fielded a 442 midfield parallel line-up in this game, and all six internationals contributed by Gossau started the game, and the Swiss team with Gossau players as the backbone showed strong fighting power.
Just 12 seconds into the game, Egerman received a pass from Branislav Ivanovic and dribbled to the edge of the box to open the scoring for Switzerland, the fastest goal of the tournament so far.
Five minutes later, Horensten cut inside on the right and burst into the box before firing a low shot into the far corner to make it 2-0 for Switzerland.
In the 23rd minute of the first half, Egerman headed home from Udinese winger Barnetta in the penalty area after receiving a cross from the left, which was his second goal of the game.
In the 41st minute, Ivanovic shifted his foot in the midfield and passed the ball to the feet of Horensten on the right side, Horensten broke through the defense of the opponent's left-back at high speed and then crossed with his feet, and the center forward Derdyyok, who played for the Liverpool team, scored with a header to rewrite the score to 4:0.
In the second half, the Swiss team did not stop their pace of scoring, and in the 56th minute, Egerman received a cross from the right side of Shaqiri's penalty area near the bottom line, and easily pushed the ball into the empty goal from the middle, and at the same time changed the score to 5:0 for Switzerland, he also scored a hat-trick himself.
In the 71st minute, Eggman forced a forced breakthrough in the middle of the field, and after reaching the penalty area, he pulled out his foot and shot angrily, and the ball flew into the top left corner of the goal like a cannonball, and he staged an amazing quadruple.
In the 82nd minute, Salihovic scored with a header from a corner kick to give Switzerland a 7-0 lead, and this goal also ended the goal shootout.
In the end, the Swiss team swept Saudi Arabia 7-0, and Egerman's four goals also surpassed Neymar, who had previously scored a hat-trick, to the top of the scorer list.
Legendary French goalscorer Juster. Fontaine scored 13 goals in six games for France at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, an average of more than two goals per game. This goal record has not been unmatched to this century, and the closest thing to this record so far this century is the eight goals scored by Ronaldo in the 2002 World Cup.
Originally, Neymar scored three goals in the first game and was widely considered to have the hope of breaking the record of 13 goals, but when Eggman scored four goals in the first game, his limelight completely overshadowed Neymar, and Egerman was already far ahead of Neymar in the odds of a person who broke the World Cup goal record offered by major bookmakers.
The seven-goal sweep of Saudi Arabia in the opening game also thrilled the Swiss fans who came to Brazil to watch the game, and they gave each Swiss player a round of applause, of course, Eggman received the most applause.
In the middle of the game, several Swiss fans around Xiao Yang recognized Xiao Yang, they were very happy, and they were vying to take a photo with Xiao Yang and ask Xiao Yang to sign autographs for them, because the Swiss team can be so strong now, and the biggest hero is Xiao Yang in the eyes of the fans, if it were not for Xiao Yang to cultivate so many outstanding players, the Swiss team would not have reached the current level.
Xiao Yang, who was recognized by the fans, did not have the slightest shelf, he met the fans' group photo and autograph requirements one by one, the commotion in the stands was discovered by the third reporter, and the news that Xiao Yang was watching the game at the scene was spread at once, and the president of the Swiss Football Association learned that Xiao Yang was at the scene, and wanted him to sit in the VIP seat, but Xiao Yang refused, he said that he wanted to sit with ordinary fans and watch the game.
Xiao Yang's move was very appetizing to ordinary fans, and suddenly, Xiao Yang's popularity and prestige among fans increased. Xiao Yang cheered and jumped for the Swiss team's goal with ordinary fans, and the fans hugged Xiao Yang and Wen Wan in the middle, which also attracted many reporters on the sidelines.
At the end of Group E, Switzerland are at the top of the table on goal difference, laying a solid foundation for their group progression.
There was also a Group F match on the same day, which resulted in a goal-scoring shootout in which African powerhouse Ivory Coast narrowly beat Denmark 3-2.
There were also three matches on June 17, and Italy beat Japan 2:0 in Group F. Although the Japanese team had a number of players in Europe to help, it was still not as deep as the Italian team in terms of heritage, and lost without temper.
Ghana beat Chile 3-1 in their Group G matches, while Serbia disappointingly drew just 2-2 with Asian side Iran, the first draw of the tournament.
On the 18th, the results of the two matches in Group H were Spain 3:1 against Mexico and Croatia 2:0 against Australia.
So far, the first round of the World Cup group stage has ended, there was no upset in the first round of the game, most of the traditional strong teams have defeated their respective opponents, and the most surprising is the Swiss team, in the previous World Cup results were mediocre they beat their opponents in the first game, although the opponent is very weak, but this is also a enough amazing play.
In the second round of the group stage, there were many upsets, among which the results of the two games in Group C were the most surprising, Senegal defeated Germany 1:0, and the United States team defeated Argentina 3:1, which made the points situation in Group C completely chaotic, and the four teams accumulated three points, all have hope of qualifying, and all have the possibility of being eliminated.
The host Brazil team won a solid 3-1 victory over Poland, but Neymar did not score in this game and only had one assist; Switzerland also won 4-1 against Uruguay, with Eggman scoring twice again, so that Eggman continued to lead the scorer charts with six goals in two games.
With Switzerland's 6-0 win over Saudi Arabia, Switzerland and France have already qualified one round ahead of schedule, with the final round just a matter of which team wins the group.
The third round of the group stage was played over four days from June 24 to June 27, with two matches in each group being played at the same time.
Group A's Costa Rica team defeated Poland 2:1, while Brazil defeated South Africa 5:2, Brazil won all three games and scored 16 goals and conceded 3 goals to rank first in the table, and Costa Rica team ranked second after the first game was bloodied, the last two games with one win and one draw ranked second, and also won the right to qualify.
Group B was uneventful, with England and Portugal beating their respective opponents to finish top two of the group.
In the end, with Messi's goal, Argentina defeated Germany 1:0, while the United States defeated Senegal 3:1, not only qualifying from the group, but also overwhelming the powerful Argentina team with goal difference, ranking first in the group, Argentina had to settle for second.
In Group D, the Netherlands and Sweden also finished in the top two of the group with both wins over their respective opponents in the final round.
In Group E, Switzerland did not let the hosts Brazil in the limelight in their final game, and they swept France 3-0, winning all three games, scoring 14 goals and conceding only one goal. Eggman's brace took his tally to eight and it looked like it was only a matter of time before he broke Fontaine's 56-year-old record.
The two qualifying teams in Group F were Italy and Ivory Coast, with Denmark and Japan eliminated.
The average strength of Group G was relatively weak, and in the end, Ghana and Serbia joined hands in qualifying, although neither of them had a clear advantage, and Chile and Iran had enough reason to be unconvinced that they had been eliminated.
In Group H, Spain and Croatia drew in the final round of fixtures, leaving them top and second in the group, while Mexico beat Australia in the final round but it was too late to see them knocked out of the tournament.
The second round of matches began on 28 June, when Group A winners Brazil met Group B runners-up Portugal, and in the end, the hosts Brazil were on top of each other, with a 2-1 win over Portugal, with Coutingho scoring the only goal for Portugal and Ronaldo hitting the post twice, before Ronaldo shed tears of sadness again.
Costa Rica, who were second in Group A, were overjoyed to qualify, losing to England, the top team in Group B, with a score of 0-2.
In the two games on the 29th, the first team in Group D, the Netherlands, defeated Argentina 2-1 in an extra time, and Messi had to swallow the bitter fruit of stopping early in the second round. However, compared to the German team, who did not qualify from the group, their fate is much better.
The United States continued their dark horse journey, and they won the not weak Swedish team 3-0 cleanly.
The French team only lost 0:1 to the Italian team after extra time in a strong dialogue, and the Italian team also avenged the repeated losses to France in the previous World Series.
Switzerland also continued their strong run with a 3-0 win over Ivory Coast, with Egerman netting three goals to bring his tally to 11, just two short of Fontaine's record.
On 1 July, the two teams that qualified from Group H, Spain and Croatia, both emerged, beating Serbia and Ghana by the same score 2-1 to reach the quarter-finals.
In this way, all the teams in the top eight have been selected, and they are the host Brazil, England, the Netherlands, the United States, Italy, Switzerland, Spain and Croatia.
In this quarter-final lineup, only Brazil is left in South America, only the United States is left in North America, Asian and African teams are all wiped out, and European teams occupy six places extremely strongly.
After the first round of the knockout round, the most striking news was that Egerman was about to break the 56-year-old record for goals scored in a single World Cup competition. He has now scored 11 goals in four games and the Swiss are the favourites to win the title with a strong performance, and if they do make it to the final, they will have three games to play, and with Egermann's goalscoring ability, his record of 13 goals is already a treasure trove to find.
Neymar, who is now second in the scorer list, has only scored 5 goals, although it is also a good result, but it has to be said that the suspense of the top scorer is basically gone, and the only suspense is whether Egerman can break the record.
Fontaine, the World Cup record holder for a single goal, stood up for Egerman, who he believes is extraordinary in his goalscoring ability and will definitely break his own record.
Gad. Muller also made comments that he was not surprised that Eggman broke the single-title goal record, and that Eggman still has the ability to break the World Cup total goal record.
The World Cup record for total goals is 15 goals held by "Alien" Ronaldo, and Egerman is now only four goals away from this record, and it is very likely that he will break this record in this World Cup.
The reporter who has a good thing also interviewed Ronaldo, Ronaldo is no longer the boy who chased the wind back then, he talked eloquently in front of the reporter's camera with a big belly, he said that Egerman is indeed very likely to break his record, but he is not convinced that if it were not for the impact of injury, he would have scored more goals in the World Cup that year; Eggman, on the other hand, seems to have been favored by God, and his physical fitness is so good that he almost never gets hurt.
When he said this, everyone could see the envy in Ronaldo's eyes.
Indeed, Ronaldo's achievements should have been much more brilliant if he hadn't had too many injuries.
Xiao Yang, who saw Ronaldo's interview on TV, smiled, joking, how much effort and live gold coins Egerman spent him, now Egerman's ability value is close to the full value of 200, and all physical qualities tend to be perfect under Xiao Yang's careful transformation, under the careful adjustment of the coach, his heading ability and shooting ability have reached the full value of 20, running without the ball 19, composure 19, technique 17, if this can't create a super shooter, then Xiao Yang can also buy a piece of tofu and hit his head to death.
It can be said that in addition to Xiao Yang's own efforts to transform a player in the future, Egerman is an irreproducible freak in football, and transforming a player may not always be successful, after all, only physical fitness and potential can be transformed with live gold coins, and personal character cannot be transformed. If Egerman hadn't been such a hard-working, stoic and persevering player, he wouldn't have been where he is now.
How many geniuses in the history of world sport have been left with amazing talent, but in the end they have been left unnoticed? There are countless geniuses who have fallen for personal character reasons, and each one of them makes people sigh.
The quarter-finals of the World Cup began on July 4, and the first quarter-final was played by England against the big dark horse United States, and the United States team almost broke the upset again, they played 1:1 with England in 90 minutes of play, and the game was stubbornly dragged into extra time, in which both sides did not achieve anything, and in the end, the two sides had to go to penalties. England narrowly defeated the United States 4-3 on penalties and struggled to reach the semi-finals.
Hosts Brazil then came up against their old rivals, the Netherlands, who had always met with sparks, and this one was no exception, with Brazil winning 4-3 over the Netherlands in a shootout, with Kaka slotting home from distance in the last minute of stoppage time. Once again, the talented Dutch team was out of the tournament.
Italy's match against Croatia was a shocking result, with Croatia scoring a goal in the first half and maintaining their advantage until the end of the game, until Italy's Balotelli equalised in the fourth minute of stoppage time. The next 30 minutes of extra time did not score for both sides, and the two sides had to play a penalty shootout, the first four rounds of penalties were not scored by two on each side, and the battle was a 2:2 draw, and Italy played first in the last round, Pirlo's penalty was saved by the Croatian goalkeeper, and Antunovic calmly hit the last penalty into the upper right corner, and he used the most secure way to let the team win. Andrea Pirlo was devastated after missing the penalty and later announced his retirement, along with goalkeeper Gianluigi Gianluigi Buffon.
The quarter-finals were finale between Switzerland and defending champions Spain, with a number of players from both Gossau and Barcelona in a match that looked like a replica of this season's UEFA Champions League semi-final between Gosho and Barcelona, with the Swiss having the last laugh as they beat Spain 2-1 to reach the semi-finals.
Eggman scored a goal in this game to take his tally to 12, getting closer and closer to a single goal record of 13 goals and a total goal record of 15 goals.
The top four teams are all produced, they are Brazil, Croatia, England and Switzerland, and they are made up of one South American team and three European teams.
The semi-finals began on 8 July with hosts Brazil taking on Croatia, and in the end, Neymar contributed to Brazil's victory over Croatia 1-0 to reach the World Cup final at the Maracanã Stadium as they moved closer to their dream of winning the title on home soil.
The second semi-final was played by Switzerland against England, and it was a very difficult game, England played a trap defense against Egerman, which played a certain restraining role for Egerman, and England themselves had too much energy involved in defending Egerman, and the attack was not organized smoothly, and both teams had very few shots on goal. In the end, it was Egerman who scored the only goal of the game for the Swiss team with a header in a corner kick in the second half, hanging on to the defense of two people, and heading the ball to the Swiss team, helping the Swiss team defeat England 1:0 and enter the final with their heads held high.
