The final round of the Group B group stage of the World Cup is underway, with England and Sweden on both sides.

In this game, Wang Li and David Beckham were not included in the England squad, while almost all the other players on the field were on the field or on the bench.

Due to Ferdinand's injury time, McClaren was really ruthless.

For this game, the media before the game felt that the England team would use the game to practice, and the fact was similar to what they thought, Wang Li, as the absolute main force, and England captain David Beckham failed to enter the starting lineup, but the other main players were almost all on the field.

Importantly, Wayne Rooney was in the starting line-up.

This may be McLaren's powerful riposte to Ferguson!!

Before the start of the game, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson had been slamming the England team, and Rio Ferdinand's injury made the already bitter old jazz slam the England team led by McClaren. And now in this game that has little meaning for the England team, McClaren directly sent Rooney to start.

I'm afraid this has a lot to do with Ferguson's criticism, and McLaren has endured it again and again to the point where he can't bear it anymore.

What can Ferguson say?

At least Wayne Rooney wants to play, and no player will object to playing in the World Cup, which is the world's top football tournament every four years.

In fact, for the England team, the game still has a certain meaning, such as going back in history!

Since beating Sweden 3-1 at Wembley on 22 May 1968, England have drawn eight and lost four of their last 12 matches against Sweden without a win.

England haven't won against Sweden in 38 years!

Such a historical record is really embarrassing for the England team, but it does not affect McLaren's ranking at all, after all, those are not important, and achieving good results in the World Cup is the most important.

But this 'historical record' seems to have a lot of meaning for the Swedish players, who looked confident against England and even more confident when they saw Wang Li not playing.

There are no bug-level stars on the field, everyone is mortal, and it is not surprising to win, after all, England have not beaten Sweden in 38 years, so what is so unusual about losing again?

That's what the Swedish players think.

So, as soon as the game started, the fans saw an imposing Swedish team, who played well together, repeatedly broke down the England defence, and these players had a good mentality.

And England played really well.

After Wang Li joined the team, McLaren's game policy was to attack! Offensive! Offensive!

Although the current style of play of the England team is still influenced by the style of the team, the attacking policy has changed, and they use simple and direct attacks again and again to seek more opportunities for the team, rather than holding back at the back and ready to counterattack at any time.

This style of play is obviously more popular with fans, and now the offensive battle between the two teams at the beginning has made the atmosphere of the game directly hot for a while!

"Come on! Come on! Come on! Similar voices filled the audience.

The hot sidelines of the game also made Princess Angela feel a lot better in the VIP box, because few fans came to pay attention to her, while watching the performance of her teammates on the field, while carrying out the most primitive sports in the box, this exciting feeling made Wang Li and Angela a little intoxicated.

O young man!

Of course, this is just the impulse of the two young people, and it is not the point of the game.

Although the Swedish team is attacking hard and has a stable mentality, in fact, their strength is a little worse than that of the England team. Finally, in the 34th minute, England won a free kick from 30 meters out.

David Beckham didn't play, Joe. Kerr walked to the penalty spot.

"Come on! Joe! Carly would be happy if she could kick in! ”

See Joe. Kerr walked to the penalty spot to prepare for a free kick, Wang Li poked his head out of the VIP box to cheer for his friend, but the content of his words was a joking mention of Joe. Cole's girlfriend.

So, many surrounding fans also shouted: "Come on!" Joe! Carly would be happy if she could kick in! ”

Soon, this shouting spread throughout the court, which made Joe, who was standing on the court. Cole was extremely embarrassed, he turned around and glanced at Wang Li's VIP box, and almost opened his mouth to scold.

“**！！ I'm going to make him look good after the game!! "Joe. Cole thought.

At this time, Gerrard came over and wanted to replace Joe. Kerr made free throws, after all, the fans shouted too loudly, which would definitely affect Joe. Cole's play.

“no！ I'll do it myself! ”

"Carly is going to be happy! But I'm not happy."

Joe. Cole muttered angrily, then trotted forward two steps and slapped the foot of the football, only to see the football fly directly into the air, and it was about to fly directly out of the field.

"Oh my God, it looks like the fans' shouts have a great impact on Cole~god~~~~~!!" The on-site commentator suddenly changed his words - "The ball is in!! ”

After the football flew into the air, it suddenly turned and hung directly into the corner of the goal, and in the face of this sudden change, the Swedish goalkeeper did not react - "goooooal!!!!! ”

The on-site commentator shouted, "The ball is in!!" The ball is in!! World Wave, Joe. Cole kicked a world wave!! It's so beautiful!! ”

"In the 35th minute of the first half, Joe. Cole gave England the lead with a kick that was brilliant, and I think Kerr's wife Carly will be happy after the game, but she should probably be most thankful for Allen."

"Even if he doesn't play, Alan will still be the center of attention"

After the goal, Joe. Cole was clearly very pleased.

A kick of the world wave, he himself didn't expect to score, but the ball went in, I have to say that sometimes the game requires a lot of luck, and the luck component of this ball is also very large.

Perhaps every fan present was the hero of this goal, and it was their shouts that gave Joe. Kerr is motivated to score goals and he should be grateful to the fans.

However, this situation is clearly not desirable for the Swedish team.

"I'm going to protest!! Protest!! ”

In Joe. After Cole's goal, Lagerbeck kept 'protesting' in the ear of the fourth official: "He affected the fairness of the game, I want to protest, such a player should not be allowed to enter the field, he disrupted the order of the game." ”

The fourth official sent by FIFA listened to Lagbeck's 'protest' with a smile on his face, but he secretly despised it in his heart, when the fans just shouted, this old man did not protest, but now that the England team has scored, he protested, which is a bit too 'shameful'.

In fact, Wang Li's approach did not violate any of the rules of the game at all, he was just a spectator now, and did not play in the game. Cole cheers, there is nothing wrong at all, as for the content of cheering?

There are no limits.

FIFA's rules are very lenient for fans, after all, they are consumers.

Therefore, Lagerbeck's protest is completely unreasonable, of course he knows it, but these coaches, when they are in a bad mood, like to vent with the fourth official, I am afraid that FIFA let this fourth official appear on the field, the biggest role is this

Joe. Kerr's goal was brilliant, but it was the only goal of the first half.

In anticipation of the fans, both teams were still looking for attacking opportunities after the start of the second half, and England were less lucky this time as Sweden opened the scoring to equalise.

The goal was scored by the opponent's midfielder Albach, and in the 51st minute, Albuck received a corner kick from Linderott on the left side, and headed the ball directly into the goal!

It is worth mentioning that this is also the 2,000th goal in the history of the World Cup.

At 1:1, the two teams returned to the same starting line.

As the most luxurious team in the world, England clearly did not want to concede defeat easily in front of so many fans and media, and after the game restarted, they launched a strong attack on Sweden's half.

For a while, it was difficult for the Swedish team to play a decent counterattack with this kind of imposing attack, and the England team dominated the field.

And this time, Steven. Gerald has made a meritorious service!

In the 80th minute of the game, Gerrard received a message from Joe. Cole's pass was followed by a direct header from inside the box to give England the lead.

The crowd cheered on the goal, and Wang Li also applauded Gerrard's celebration.

From Willy's point of view, Gerrard's header was absolutely beautiful, and he was much better than Frank Lampard.

Perhaps many fans and media think that Gerrard and Lampard are at similar levels, but Wang Li feels that Gerrard is stronger than Lampard.

It's an environmental impact.

At Chelsea, Frank Lampard always has a fantastic group of team-mates around him and his job is just to make the attack smoother and that's it, because he doesn't have to worry about scoring goals at all.

But Gerrard is different, in the Liverpool team, Gerrard is the star of the house, and other players have a big gap with Gerrard in terms of fame and strength.

That's why many fans say that Liverpool is Gerrard's one-man team.

In this kind of football environment, Gerrard has to play better in order to keep the team product. Gerrard and Frank Lampard may not be much different, but Gerrard is much better than Lampard in terms of his ability to take chances.

At least in terms of the number of goals scored by the two in each season, as well as the performance of the players judged by the FA and UEFA, Gerrard has always been better than Frank Lampard.

And now, Steven Gerrard has scored another World Cup goal.

"Beautiful! Steven Gerrard was still in excellent form, and when Frank Lampard was injured, he led the attack of England with his ability, and this time he acted as a savior, and England took the lead again!! ”

Savior, maybe it's better to say that after the game.

Because 10 minutes later, in the 90th minute of the game, Larsson became Sweden's savior!!

In the 90th minute, Edelman threw the ball into the box from outside the left boundary, and taking advantage of Campbell's mistake, Larsson grabbed the spot from five meters out and fired a light volley to equalize Sweden in the final moments of the game.

However, even if the goal was scored and the score turned into a draw, the Swedish players were not in a good mood, because the other game was only halfway played, and no matter which other team wins, the Swedish team will face the embarrassing situation of being eliminated from the group stage with three draws and three points

At this moment, except for the England team, who are sure to qualify, everyone is waiting for the result of another Group B group stage.

Trinidad and Tobago and Paraguay have clearly known the results of the England and Sweden matches, so they all have hope of qualifying - just win the game!

In the second half, both teams could almost be described as frenzied attacks, with each wanting to score a goal first and then keep a clean sheet to qualify from the group.

The results once again proved a proverb in the ancient Orient: Sandpipers and mussels compete, and fishermen profit!

In the end, the two teams played to a 0-0 draw, and Sweden collectively got the news after a difficult 45 minutes in the dressing room.

All the Swedish players are boiling!

All the Swedish fans are boiling!

All Swedish supporters are boiling!

At this time, the Rheinenergy Stadium in Cologne was holding a post-match press conference, McClaren was quietly expressing his views on the game, while the head coach of the Swedish team faced reporters' questions with a black face.

But the next moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the coach of the Swedish team, and then the old coach's face was immediately filled with smiles, and he was completely different from just now.

Lagerbeck's change of face on the spot made all the reporters and media in the entire hall understand, and a large group of reporters immediately rushed from McClaren to Lagerbeck's side to interview the old coach's feelings.

There are no more ups and downs in life than this!!

After the Swedish team confirmed their qualification, journalists have renewed interest in the Swedish team. In fact, Sweden is sure to be good in this game.

Ahead of the game, almost half the world's fans were optimistic that the Three Lions would end their 38-year winless run against Sweden – even if England didn't have their full squad.

And the Swedish team used the game to prove that the current World Cup is not entirely for young people.

Veterans are often more useful than youngsters at key moments, and in the 90th minute, Larsson's goal pulled down England fans who were ready to start screaming.

McLaren was unhappy with the result.

Even with a bench team, McLaren felt they deserved to win the game, after all, it was only Sweden and nothing more.

Thankfully, Larsson, the man who played the game, had a lot of respect for England and praised England as the best team to win the World Cup before the game.

'If they work together, England will really succeed.'

Speaking to the media, Larsson said: "But I'm a goalscorer and it's my job to kick the ball into the door. And the feeling after the goal was also a relief for me. ”

In the first two games, the Swedes had plenty of chances, but Larsson came back to nothing each time. Luckily, he didn't let that disappointment happen again against England.

The media did not give a good opinion of England after the game, and the public's opinion was mainly focused on the mentality of the England players.

'It's an immature team.

Introducing the game, the Italian newspaper "Milan Sport" said: "Their line-up is the most flamboyant, but in Allen. King and David. After Beckham didn't play, they showed immaturity. ”

The German newspaper "Kicker" mentioned that the England team is still a 'youth team', such a team obviously has the 'Arsenal characteristics', that is, the tailwind game plays heartily, and the headwind game will not play at all, "the England team is not suitable for big games", in the article tried to express this point of view - "We see an immature England team, if the World Cup, just such an England team, they do not have the potential to win the championship, because they are completely immature and will play very poorly in the big game." ”

"However, England still have a good chance of winning the title because they have a stable captain and a top star in the world."

This is not the opinion of one media outlet, in fact, most fans feel the same way.

England scored just two goals in this game, but when Wang Li and David Beckham were on the pitch at the same time, like in the first two games, their performances can only be described as gorgeous.

Wang Li and David Beckham have changed the entire England team.

"No, one person should be said!" The Sun clearly disagrees.

'It's been like that when Allen wasn't in England, and as long as Allen is on the pitch, England have become that invincible team.

'Every player believes that Allen can score goals, so they become confident in the game, and Allen has shown time and time again that he deserves everyone's trust.

"He's a genius !! the world that's shocked"

This is the general opinion of the English media, and while this may be somewhat suspicious of touting Wang Li, fans feel that this is true, at least the results of the three World Cup games prove it.

From 6:0, 8:0, to 2:2, the gap between them is really incomprehensible.

After the group stage, England will start preparing for the knockout round, and their first opponent is the second place in Group A of the World Cup - Ecuador!
