Every time it comes time for the World Cup draw, the German television station will conduct a mock draw the day before the draw. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

With the rise of social media, the craze has also swept the world this year, with Spanish television sets said to have made it clear that they would follow suit, and China's CCTV will also hold a mock lottery ceremony.

In Germany, the rules and props used in the simulated draw are all modeled after the World Cup draw, but the lottery guests are different, not football celebrities, but the famous octopus Paul.

Of course, this is not the famous octopus Paul in the World Cup in South Africa, the octopus has died in October 2010, died in the Oberhausen Aquarium where it became famous, anyway, after the World Cup in South Africa, the octopus in the world is probably called Paul.

The draw is said to be Paul III, who will be the only guest of honor at the ceremony.

First of all, the beautiful hostess of the TV station introduced the process of the draw, the round of 32 is divided into 4 gears, the first pot is the seeded team, the second pot is 7 teams, this is very special, the reason will be known later, the 7 teams are 5 African teams and 2 South American teams.

Pot 3 is 8 teams, 4 Asian teams and 4 teams from North and Central America and the Caribbean.

Pot 4 is 9 teams, all of which are from the European zone.

This is the new rule this year, which at first glance seems unreasonable, not 8 teams in each bracket, so how to draw?

So the first step is to draw an unlucky x from the team in pot 4 and put it in pot 2, and the reason why it is unlucky is because this x will definitely go into the group of death.

And Paul III is going to draw out this unlucky guy in the first place, and in the end this unlucky guy is Portugal.

In this way, each gear is 8 teams, and then it will be convenient, as long as the principle of avoiding the same continent (except Europe) is drawn one by one, and Brazil, as the host, automatically enters A1, and the second gear is drawn out of A2, and so on, so that X is the first suspense of the draw ceremony, and it is also the new rule of this addition.

Finally, after the "drawing" of Paul III, Germany was placed in Group D, and the opponents in the same group were Ecuador, the United States, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

If this is really the case, it can be said that it has been signed, and the group situation drawn by Paul III for the Chinese team is in Group F, and the same group is Argentina, Algeria, and Italy.

If this is the case, then the Chinese fans will scold, the last time they entered the group of death, fortunately, it was the French team infighting, so what about this time?

*****

The results drawn by Paul III are not recognized by Chinese netizens, they are all waiting for CCTV's version, and the lottery guests invited by CCTV are not octopus, but old international players Li Tie and Yang Chen, after all, it is impossible to really find 8 lottery guests like the World Cup, so find two meanings.

The rules are the same, first of all, the unlucky guy, the x drawn by Li Tie is England, the audience at the scene will smile, England does often play the role of the unlucky guy in the World Cup, I have to say that Li Tie is quite accurate.

Then they started to take their places, and finally the Chinese team was in Group D, and the same group was Belgium, Ivory Coast, and the Netherlands.

If this result really happens, Chinese fans can also accept it, except for the Netherlands, other teams still have a fight.

The host Zhang Bin and the two guests ridiculed, "If there is a team in the group of the Chinese team tomorrow and this result are the same, I will guarantee you the commentary work of the two of them on CCTV for next year's World Cup." ”

While the media in some countries are busy simulating the draw, others are busy declassifying, such as the BBC in the United Kingdom.

The BBC has always been known for exposing FIFA scandals, most famously in 2010, the night before the World Cup was announced, the BBC exposed FIFA's shady story on the ownership of the World Cup, which directly led to a huge crisis of confidence in FIFA.

And this time, the night before the World Cup draw, the BBC revealed that the draw may have been manipulated.

The topic of lottery manipulation in football matches is a cliché, whether it is the World Cup, the European Cup, or the Champions League, it is suspected that it is artificially manipulated.

I remember that before the draw ceremony for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Bai Yansong said that someone just wanted to black Argentina, Liu Jianhong asked, how do you know, Bai Yansong said, I just know anyway.

The BBC disclosed that the way to control the draw was to control the temperature of the draw ball, or the control of the computer program in the background, of course, the BBC has no conclusive evidence, but most people also believe that there may be a certain degree of control, such as for security, for example, if Russia and Ukraine are grouped together (hypothetical), it will increase the pressure on security.

There is also for the excitement, such as if the favorite enters the group of death, will it reduce the excitement of the game, and the host should not take care of it.

So the BBC's report this time did not make a sensation like the 2010 one, when the video of the person in charge of the Caribbean region selling tickets directly, and the ugliness of FIFA was revealed.

In addition, South Korea's KBS also did a mock draw, and as a result of their draw, China entered the group of death, and the audience believed that the draw was 100% manipulated, and there was no need to investigate.

The football feast once every 4 years officially began after the draw, the team will find the corresponding opponent to warm up, the preparation for the game will be very clear, Li Guo accepted an interview with his old friend, Globo Sports in Brazil, when talking about the draw, he only hopes to be treated fairly.

Perhaps in order to save character, Li Guo expressed his firm belief that the FIFA draw is fair, and there can be no human manipulation.

In the end, Li Guo reiterated that it will be difficult for Brazil to win the championship, "If you want to hear lies, I can also say, like I said that the draw is fair, but I don't want to lie to the Brazilians, you have Neymar, but you don't have Kaka and Ronaldo." ”

The Brazilian audience also slowly treated Li Guo coldly, otherwise they would be angry, and some people felt that Li Guo was right, and called for Kaka to return to the national team.

On December 7, the beautiful Shoippi seashore is like a gentle girl, spreading her smile and welcoming visitors from all directions.

Bigwigs from all walks of life stepped on the red carpet and walked into the convention and exhibition center, Li Guo and Zhou Dun were dressed in suits, and their handsome appearance attracted countless photojournalists.

Li Guo said that he would not speak today, and after accepting the photo, Li Guo and Zhou Dun walked into the hall, which was already crowded, and after finding the position of the Chinese delegation and sitting down, the lottery ceremony was about to officially begin. (To be continued.) )
