The group stage of the World Cup is finally over, and after England and Sweden in Group B have confirmed their qualification, the top two teams in each group have been released, while the other teams that have not qualified have gone straight home, and their World Cup journey has come to an end. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of the four teams in Group A, Germany and Ecuador qualified for the tournament.

As hosts, they are bound to be given special care when it comes to group draws, with Germany having few opponents in Group A and a little better off than England.

In recent years, German football has not been very good, they have not beaten the world's top teams for many years, and many people think that Germany have been reduced to a second-rate team, but in such an uncompetitive group, qualification is still guaranteed.

In Group A, Poland, who are good at playing power football, are also favored by the media, with more experience in major tournaments than the other two teams, and with Poland and Germany bordering each other, it can be said that they have the right time and place.

However, it was Germany and Ecuador that made the cut.

Before the game, many media commented that Ecuador would definitely finish at the bottom of Group A, because 'they will only bargain at home in the plateau with their South American brothers who are also softer in the autumn wind', which is the original words of the newspaper "Kicker", but now Ecuador has squeezed out Poland and appeared smoothly, which has surprised the media.

In Group C Argentina, Ivory Coast, Serbia and Montenegro and the Netherlands in the group of death, there are no dark horses, the Netherlands and Argentina appear hand in hand, this result is the public is optimistic, after all, even if it is the group of death, but the other two teams are still a little behind them.

The teams that qualified from Group D were Mexico and Portugal, and the Asian team Iran, which was favored by many media, had three games, two losses and one draw, and could only go home with hatred, and they failed to create any miracles in the expectations of many fans.

There are many people who think that Iran is the Turkey of Asia, and many media think that Iran's style is tough, and they are likely to become a group of dark horses, but unfortunately, Iran, which has a tough style, meets Portugal and Mexico, which have delicate footwork and good tactical awareness, and they become a reckless man, and they can only do nothing but get a group point in front of Angola, which can't make any waves in the group.

Some say the real group of death is Group E, which features four teams from Italy, the United States, the Czech Republic and Ghana.

Under the leadership of the famous coach Lippi, Italy have shown the potential to win the title, and their football is different from the conservative Italian in the past, because Lippi understands that in modern football it is not enough to rely on defense alone, no matter how solid your defense is.

In this World Cup, the combination of Italian strikers Toni and Gilardino is very practical, coupled with Totti's popularity and Cassano's aura, they can even help with Brazil's skills.

There was no pressure on Italy to qualify, with seven points from two wins and one draw from three games, making it easy to make it out of the group.

In this group, the U.S. team is also in the spotlight. Americans don't like football, but with the strong sports heritage and physique of the United States, the American team was born full of strength. In the media commentary, the American players have excellent physical fitness, and attach great importance to tactical coordination, both at the individual level and at the overall level, the strength of the American team is good.

Unfortunately, such a U.S. team was a tragedy in this World Cup, and they returned to North America in humiliation after three games and three defeats to continue their basketball.

Ghana qualified, with two wins and one defeat in the group, and six points comfortably finished second.

As for the Czech team? This 'old' team was not favored at all before the game, and they only beat the United States, but lost the other two.

The situation in Group F is suspenseful, because in this group, Brazil can be said to be the only one, and between the other three teams of Croatia, Australia and Ben, any team is likely to finish second.

In the end, Australia won the right to qualify.

France and Switzerland qualified in Group G, which was a perfect result, because the other two teams, South Korea and Togo, were really different from European teams.

As for the teams that qualified from Group H in the final group, it was a bit impressive - Spain and Ukraine!

It is normal for Spain to qualify, although this team has not won the World Cup, but it is undeniable that Spain's strength is definitely the best in the world, although the team members are not worth as much as Italy, Brazil, and England, but the Spanish team has a characteristic that other teams cannot match, that is, most of the players are from the same club - Barcelona!!

Such a Spanish team can almost be said to be the Barcelona team, the cooperation between the players and the team's tactics are almost equal to the Barcelona team, and the Spanish team has several more world-class stars, and it is really unreasonable for such a team not to qualify.

The most surprising is the Ukrainian team, because this team is completely a one-man team of the "nuclear warhead" Shevchenko, and the reason why I say this is because the other players of the Ukrainian team except Sheva are almost all unknown.

And the Ukrainian team also reached the World Cup finals for the first time.

Reaching the World Cup for the first time and qualifying from the group has to be taken a high look, and the fans are more willing to give credit to the stars, so Shepchenko's reputation is even stronger.

According to rumors, after the group stage, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich gave AC Milan a blank transfer application form, and he no longer cares how much he pays to get this fellow

The group stage has completely ended, and the World Cup competition has finally entered the most intense battlefield, and the knockout round of 16 is about to begin.

According to the rules of the World Cup knockout round, the first and second places of the two adjacent groups play each other respectively, so the comprehensive group confrontation situation of the round of 16 knockout round is - Germany vs Sweden; Argentina vs Mexico; England vs Ecuador; Portugal vs Netherlands; Italy vs Australia; Switzerland vs Ukraine; Brazil vs Ghana; Spain vs France.

England's opponents were Ecuador, who were second in Group A, and McLaren was very happy with the result, while all England supporters were also very happy because they missed out on Germany, who were strong in Group A.

England are sure to be strong, and encountering such an 'underdog' has made England's supporters constantly wave their flags and hope that England can play a good game and eliminate Ecuador by an absolute advantage.

"We will march towards victory!"

The Sun caught the eye of England fans with such an uplifting headline, in which they pointed out that England's road is bright, at least there is no pressure to reach the quarter-finals, and perhaps now it should be ready for a big game against the Netherlands or Portugal.

If England can qualify, then the team will face another 'Netherlands vs Portugal' Saints, and many fans are already looking forward to this match.

And "France Team Newspaper" is also very optimistic about England, they feel that against Ecuador, England has no reason to lose at all, the most important thing is that England is extremely strong in the group stage, even if the last draw against Sweden, but there is still no denying the strength of the England team.

"David Beckham will be the key to victory!"

The Kiccer newspaper thinks so, and they think England captain David Brown. David Beckham could be the key figure in the game.

Since 2002, Beckham's performance in the England team has not been very good, especially in the World Cup qualifiers, many media and fans have questioned Beckham's ability, saying that he has dragged down the whole team.

However, in the group stage of this World Cup, everyone saw Beckham's excellent performance in the first two games, which made them very confident in Beckham, at least this proves that Beckham is not bad, although he is 30 years old, but a ball of Beckham's curling ball, still has a great threat to the opponent.

And most people still think that Wang Li can really become the leader of the England team, and they hope to see the royal horse who is about to win the title of British nobility lead LinkedIn Gran to win better results.

For now, it's about taking LinkedIn Gran to the quarterfinals of the World Cup!

It looks like the situation is going well, but in reality there is still a lot of media questioning England because they have played against a South American team.

Before this World Cup, England had played South American teams 14 times in the World Cup, with 6 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses, which is not too bad, but since 86, there has been a strange pattern that has plagued the English, that is, every time they meet South American teams in a major tournament, they will meet two teams in succession, and the final result will always be the same one win and one loss.

Among them, in the 86 World Cup, after England defeated Paraguay 3:0 in the knockout round, it lost to Argentina 1:2 in the quarterfinals; After beating Colombia 2:0 in the group stage in 98, he lost to Argentina on penalties in the knockout round; In '02, it was a 1-0 revenge against Argentina in the group stage, and the 2-1 elimination by Brazil in the quarterfinals was obviously a pattern that Ecuador was happy to see before the game, because England had already beaten Paraguay 6-0 in the group stage.

In response to this regularity, many media reporters have come to interview England's players to find out what they think of the 'regularity', which can certainly attract the attention of many fans before the tournament.

"I never felt like there was a pattern, it was just a coincidence."

In an interview, Beckham said: "Now the team is united and we will do everything we can to try to win, as for the previous rules, it doesn't matter at all, it's hard to affect everyone's mentality. ”

Compared with Beckham, Wang Li is much more direct, when he heard the news, he laughed directly and said: "Regularity? That's just because I wasn't in the England team at the time! ”

"From this moment on, any law and history will become a thing of the past, we will do our best, this law will only become the driving force for us to work forward!"

A female reporter from Milan Sport asked: "Alan, can you tell us what you think of this game?" We all want to know what you think about this pattern, and what is the upcoming Ecuadorian team? ”

Wang Li smiled: "You know, I'm going to get married after the World Cup. ”

Hearing this, the reporters present were stunned for a moment, and then listened to Wang Li continue: "I once said that the best wedding gift is the World Cup champion, which will make my marriage perfect!" Now, the World Cup has just entered the round of 16 and we have only met one underdog, yes, underdogs, and you have to admit it, so do you think I will let the team fall at this moment? ”

Wang Li waved his hand and concluded: "This is impossible!" ”

"We're going to win! There's no doubt about it, it's just the past, just for my marriage, I wouldn't let England lose here, we're going to beat them comfortably and race for the title. ”

Wang Li's speech lifted the spirits of England supporters!

Perhaps England fans have all evolved into supporters of Willy Wang, because when many media outlets questioned the England team, the brunette always stood up and 'pointed out their mistakes'. Immediately after that, the media rallied to support Wang's claim.

This ability to influence 'media thinking' is incredible.

In fact, the media in Europe and even the world are a little numb to Wang Li, why?

Because in the past, every time Wang Li said, 'We will win', he would be attacked by a large group of media, who sarcastically ridiculed Wang Li more than once, and in the end all the bitter fruits were reaped. When Wang's team finally wins, readers will question the deliberate reporting of 'distorted facts' by media reporters in order to attract the public's attention.

So, they became clowns.

So now, when Wang Li said something definite, many media unanimously changed their views to support Wang Li's words, such a report can firstly attract the attention of fans with the help of Wang Li's name, and secondly, if the statement is proved wrong after the game, they can also put the blame on Wang Li.

It's really a win-win-win-

Of course, this has nothing to do with England's training, in fact, England have been training in Munich since the end of the group stage, and on the 23rd they took the bus to Stuttgart, where their next game against Ecuador will be in Gottlieb, Stuttgart. Held at Daimler Stadium.

The World Cup schedule is also tight, with England having only five days to recuperate after the group stage, and the last-16 knockout round is just around the corner when they arrive in Stuttgart.

Number 25!

The match was held on the 25th and was the third match of the knockout round of 16.

On the second day, England returned to their hotels after training and the players were entertained as the first game of the knockout stage of the World Cup had already begun, with Group A winners Germany and Group B runners-up Sweden drawing three games by chance.

The final result was 2-0, and perhaps Sweden's luck ran out and they lost cleanly to Germany.

After watching the whole game, the English players are ready to rest, because they will be the ones who will play the next day, and they will be the protagonists of the whole world.

After breakfast the next morning, McLaren did not rush the players to train, but directly held a tactical class to make specific arrangements and instructions before the evening game.

These tasks have already been arranged, and the tactical class is held at this time just in case of the game, and if there are some unexpected situations, this arrangement may be of great use.

Of course, it's important to tell each player what they need to be aware of on the pitch and what they need to do in the game.

McClaren did not tell Wang Li, as a striker, England's top scorer, Wang Li's task is to score goals, nothing more.

If he can score, he will complete the task, and leading LinkedIn Gran to victory is his main goal.

As for how Wang Li wants to play on the court, McLaren doesn't pay attention to it at all, which may be an absolute trust, but in fact, McLaren feels that he can't arrange tactical requirements for Wang Li at all, because he feels that any tactics may limit the performance of this brunette boy on the court.

With Mourinho and Carlo's experience in arranging Wang Li, McLaren felt that everything was naturally the best choice.

"You play freely on the pitch and your job is to score goals! Let the team score more goals! McLaren told him after the tactical training session.

Wang Li nodded in understanding.

In the afternoon, the English buses pulled into Gottlieb. Daimler Stadium.

Gottlieb. Daimler Arena is the home of the Bundesliga team Stuttgart, and its predecessor was the Naka Stadium, which was built in 1933 and has since been expanded and renovated five times, and is named after the automotive pioneer Daimler.

In 1999, in order to meet the standards of the World Cup set by the National Football Confederation, Stuttgart City Axe spent a total of 51.5 million euros to renovate the stadium again, and it was completed in 2005. The Daimler Stadium has a capacity of 53,200 people (including 47,757 seats).

The new stadium is very technologically advanced in line with the specifications of the World Cup, and the entire stadium has been replaced with new Philips lighting equipment, which makes the stadium more reasonable and more able to arouse the passion of the fans, in addition to the addition of large TV screens, sound reinforcement systems, and safety technology, which improve the quality of on-site viewing and increase the safety factor of the stadium.

The most eye-catching thing in the stadium is the addition of two new displays, each measuring 115 square meters, which is currently the largest in Europe.

When the England team entered the stadium to warm up, almost everyone looked at the two displays. Kerr quipped: "It would have been nice if I could have scored, and it would have been a great feeling to have my offensive replays on those two screens." ”

"Shh

The other players booed in unison, but in fact, each of them had some ideas, after all, this display screen is too prominent, and the player screen played inside will definitely be very prominent.

Even Wang Li felt that it was definitely a good feeling to play his goal replay here
