The World Cup has become more and more exciting with the retirement of time, and the 4-0 victory of Portugal in the second round has given Portugal's golden generation another hope of qualifying, and they only need to beat South Korea in the final round to secure a qualifying spot......

The two hosts, South Korea and Yuben, also had a good performance in the group stage, of course, at this time, South Korea's disgraceful behavior has not yet begun, here, let's pay a moment of silence for Portugal!

In the other group, Italy, one of the favourites, lost 2-1 to Croatia and was a minor upset, and the defeat also cast a shadow over the Apennine Lions' prospects of qualifying for this World Cup.

On June 16, all eyes were on defending champions France.

Even though the Gallic Roosters needed to beat Denmark by more than two goals in the final round of the group stage to qualify, the French remained optimistic ahead of the game.

Because their leader, Qi Zu, has returned!

Zinedine Zidane's return gave the entire French squad confidence in the match against Denmark.

But the star-studded French team didn't know before the game that they were about to play their final game of the tournament in Busan.

Thierry Henry's suspension for a red card cast a shadow over France's qualification, while Trezeguet's hit of the post shortly after the opening kick-off signalled the Frenchman's exit.

Zinedine Zidane returned, but wherever he ran on the pitch, the Danish players followed him.

As one of the dark horses of this World Cup, the Danish team quickly made the French fans desperate with their goals.

If one goal wasn't enough, the French fans in the stands had given up hope by the time Tomasson made it 2-0 for Denmark......

Zidane's frustrated expression and his helpless footage of the Danish player falling down have become classics of this World Cup, with Vieira and Makelele ...... Trezeguet, the star-studded French team, became the first defending champion in history to be eliminated in the group stage!

This is something that people would not dare to think about before the start of the World Cup, with the two golden boots of Serie A and the Premier League, the French, who have not scored a goal in three games, and only accumulated one point, and the poor performance of the French also confirms the strange law of 'the hot must die'.

Zinedine Zidane is not the last superstar to leave this World Cup, but the departure of France is destined to make the knockout round of the 02 World Cup lacking the brilliance he should have......

The other team in the group to qualify is Senegal, who almost missed out on the knockout rounds after leading Uruguay 3-0 in the first half after being chased three goals in the second half. The African dark horse successfully hacked Zidane...... Hacked the Gallic rooster.

And the day before the match between Argentina and Sweden...... The Germans also qualified, beating African lions Cameroon 2-0, and the Germans continued to make steady progress. It is worth mentioning that the Germans showed their formidable temperament in this match, and they still beat Cameroon, the African Lions, 2-0 despite being sent off......

Joining the Germans was Ireland, who became the fourth team to reach the round of 16 after beating an already-demoralised Saudi Arabia 3-0.

……

On June 18th, the eyes of the world were focused on Group F and Group Death in Sendai and Osaka......

The Argentines will face the Viking Sweden in Sendai, who are now top of the group with four points, Sweden are also top of the group with four points, while England are third in the group with two points from two draws.

In the Group of Death, it is possible that the bottom three teams will be tied on five points......

Just when people were wondering if Argentina would play a tacit game with Sweden, at the pre-match press conference, Leonwill and Bielsa proved to the world that they were determined to win Sweden and advance to the round of 16!

"We will destroy Sweden with our attack!" The Argentines have no intention of playing tacit football with Sweden, and winning the top spot in the group is the result that the Argentines want.

Regarding the unruly Pampas Eagles, Sweden head coach Tommy Sedbemi said: "The Argentines will pay for their underdogs! ”

Sendai World Cup Stadium ......

Unlike in previous lives, Argentine fans occupied almost the entire stadium, because Leonville's popularity has risen rapidly, and Argentina has a very high popularity in the world, so basically today's neutral fans are there to cheer for the Argentine team.

More than 10,000 Swedish fans were in attendance, and although they only made up a quarter of the stadium, the Swedish giants were also a force to be reckoned with!

The Swedes are known for their power and strength while Argentina are known for their skill at their feet, and the clash between two teams with very different styles makes this a high-profile match.

The Englishman will need all three points to qualify for the other game in Osaka, and they will surely be hoping for a tie between Sweden and Argentina so they only need a 1-0 win over Nigeria to qualify.

The battle for qualification is a must-win for anyone.

It is said that before today's game, the madman Bielsa also adjusted the starting lineup of the Argentine team.

The 3-3-1-3 formation was changed to a three-five-two at the suggestion of the players, with Leonville returning to his more accustomed midfield role, where he will partner Simeone in midfield.

Aymar got the chance to start at left midfield, with Wizard Veron up front, Ortega the donkey at right, and Crespo and Barty at centre-forward.

Zanetti and Sorin were on the bench.

Before the start of the game, Leon also deliberately found Caniggia, the former son of the wind, "Claudio, don't worry." I'll definitely turn the game into 'garbage time' as soon as possible so that you have one last chance to play in the World Cup!" ”

Before the start of this game, the whole Argentine team was also united, they hoped to lock up the victory as soon as possible so that the 35-year-old veteran Caniggia could get the opportunity to play, after all, for the son of the wind, Caniggia, this is his last World Cup, with the current Argentine squad, it is impossible for Caniggia to get a chance to play after the team enters the knockout round.

So, if Argentina can pull off against Sweden, then Caniggia will have his final farewell performance for the national team.

Caniggia was also quite touched by the support of his teammates, and before the game, the Son of the Wind personally tied the captain's armband to Leon, and then personally high-fived each teammate.

In a previous life, Caniggia was sent off in a match between Argentina and Sweden because the Son of the Wind, who was sitting on the bench at the time, insulted the referee......

But in this life, all this will definitely not happen again! Leon is determined to make a fond memory for the veteran.

"Hey, Captain Stinky Boy, you're going to have to defend with Simeone and me today! Let's go on the offensive with peace of mind! Although Veron's tone towards Leon now still feels very unfavorable to Leon, in fact, everyone knows that Veron has recognized Leon as the captain in his heart.

Leon smiled: "Don't worry me about your attack, if you don't organize well, I'll plug in at any time." ”

Veron waved his hand and whistled, "We'll see, hey!" ”

The whole Argentine team was not as nervous as they were when they played against England and they were relaxed now because the second half against England showed them that they were very strong!

The whole team is united! Oh, and by the way, Pochettino is now in the team to get everyone's boots! Of course, everyone had already forgiven him for what he said to Leon......

Because now all Argentine players have only one goal: to reach the round of 16! And then try to play the full seven!

The starting line-up for Argentina today is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Boggs (back to start, replacing Caballero, who didn't play well)

Defender: Plascent

Defender: Samuel

Defender: Almeida

Defender: Leonwill (c)

Defender: Diego Simeone

Left midfielder: Aimar

Right midfielder: Ortega

Forward: Juan Verón

Center: Barty

Centre-forward: Crespo

Argentina seem to have tasted the sweetness of the two-centre-forward against England, and today against the tall Sweden, Argentina's two-centre-forward will still test the Swedes' defence.

Sweden, on the other hand, will start the same line-up as they did in their last win over Niglia.

Goalkeeper: Herdman

Left-back: Melberg

Centre-back: Miryabi

Centre-back: Edwin Linderot

Right-back: Alex Anderson

Midfielder: Anders Svensson

Midfielder: Warbuck

Midfielder: Andreas Jacobsen

Midfielder: Magnus Svensson

Forward: Henrik Larsson

Forward: Lucic

Speaking of which, the average height of the Swedish team's backline is more than 1.88 meters...... Such a terrifying height also made the Swedish fans say before the game: let your double center forward try to see if you can score our header!

Of course, the Swedish fans who said this definitely did not watch the second half of the match between England and Argentina, England's air defense is weak? Campbell and Ferdinand are not bad in height!

But why were Argentina still able to find a header? The reason is simple, Leonwill's various crosses are varied and just too accurate!

In addition to the two center forwards today, the smart breakthroughs of Aimar and Ortega also tested the tall Swedish team...... In the last match between Sweden and Nigeria, the Swedes had to spend a lot of energy......

That clash of strength and technology also made many commentators sigh, Nigeria and Sweden, everyone should enter the top 16!

Well, the abominable grouping...... In order to send South Korea and Yuben directly to the top 16, this grouping is too painful!

At the Sendai World Cup stadium, the appearance of the Argentine team was greeted with deafening cheers......

The favourites are favourites, and with France out, one doesn't want Argentina to be knocked out of the final group game in a good situation......

In that case, the knockout stage of this World Cup will lack many highlights.

And there are many England fans who also hope that Argentina can beat Sweden, after all, it is too unrealistic and reliable to rely on Sweden to beat Argentina, although there are many grudges between England and Argentina, but in the situation of qualifying, if Argentina can beat Sweden, then England only needs to beat Nisilia to qualify.

And England only needs one to zero......

The last two matches of Group F of the complex group of death, in Sendai and Osaka......

Kicked off on time at 14 p.m.!
