As a traverser, Chen Xi remembers it clearly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In 2010, the reputation of Chinese football was already stinky to the extreme, when the Chinese team ended the 32-year history of South Korea without victory in the international A-level competition with a 3-0 victory in the semi-finals of East Asia. The Chinese fans are still feeling jubilant!

Now, when Chen Xi used a hat trick to help the England team end the 38-year history of not winning against Sweden, England fell into a frenzy!

The headlines of the UK's major media were almost dominated by the news of England's victory over Sweden!

And the picture that appeared the most in the front page headlines was naturally Chen Xi, who completed a hat trick in this game!

After today's game, Chen Xi has another nickname called "Spell Terminator"!

In fact, since Chen Xi's debut, he has broken many spells.

Before the victory over Sweden, the most recent one was to break the curse that no team can defend since the Champions League was restructured!

There are countless spells like this!

…… Sweden lost the game, but they still had a chance to qualify from the group because the winner of the other game was Paraguay, who had already been eliminated early. However, they will meet the hosts Germany in the quarter-finals!

England will face Ecuador.

It was obviously a good result for England.

However, after the game, the FA announced a piece of news that made the English people sad...... Owen bids farewell to the World Cup with a serious injury!

This news plunged England, which was still jubilant, into a haze!

Owen's form has declined since Euro 04, and with the strong rise of young people like Chen Xi and Wayne Rooney, his status in the national team has dropped significantly.

However, he remains an indispensable number one in the England squad.

What's more, although England has four strikers in the 23-man squad, the youngster Walcott is actually a winger, and he came to Germany more to let him accumulate experience, and Eriksen did not dare to let him take on the responsibility!

As a result, England is left with Rooney and Crouch in the attack. And Rooney is still recovering from injury, once something happens to him or Crouch, the England team will fall into a striker drought!

However, Johnson, the Telegraph's sports editor-in-chief, also reminded England fans not to worry about England's forward line in his column. Because England now has a "super centre-forward" Edison!

In the first three group games, Chen Xi was pushed to the front line with a very good effect.

He has already scored a hat-trick in two consecutive games, an achievement that can only be achieved by two legendary goalscorers at the World Cup, Hungary "Golden" Kocis and German "Bomber" Gerd Müller, both of whom are at the top of the World Cup goal list!

Needless to say, Gerd Muller is the World Cup record holder for total goals. Of course, his record has been infinitely close to Ronaldo.

Legendary Hungarian goalscorer Kocis once scored 11 goals in a World Cup. Among them, he scored seven goals in two games against South Korea and Germany in the group stage, completing two hat-tricks in a row.

Of course, French goalscorer Fontaine, who set a record of 13 goals in a World Cup, also scored two hat-tricks in a World Cup, but he did not do it consecutively!

Now, Chen Xi has scored eight goals in three group games and is at the top of the scorer list. There has been a lot of talk about whether he can break Fontaine's record for goals in a single World Cup.

After setting a record of 13 goals in a single World Cup, Fontaine himself set up a $1,000 prize for those who could break his record, but 48 years later, no one has been able to claim it.

Fontaine himself has said that in today's defensive intensity of world football, it will be very difficult to break his record.

Obviously, Chen Xi will most likely get the $1,000 bonus now!

…… After four places in the round of 16 of the World Cup have been decided, Group C has already secured two qualifying places in advance between the Netherlands and Argentina in a high-profile conversation!

However, the two attacking world's top teams failed to play a passionate goalscoring battle in the final game, and instead exchanged scores.

In the end, Argentina won the group with the advantage of scoring goals, and they will hopefully avoid Portugal, who are strong in Group D!

In another inconsequential Group C game, Ivory Coast and Serbia and Montenegro contributed a brilliant goalscoring battle. In the end, under the leadership of Drogba, Ivory Coast won the match 3-2 and won their first victory in the World Cup!

…… Group D also has a high-profile conversation between the technical flow teams.

In the end, the Portuguese team also qualified for the first place with their third consecutive victory in the group!

Although the Mexican team lost, because the Angolan team failed to win in the other game, the Mexican team still qualified as the second in the group.

Portugal's opponent will be the Netherlands, while Mexico will meet Argentina!

…… After the first four groups, half of the places in the round of 16 were occupied.

In Group E, the situation is very complicated!

Ahead of the final round, four teams from Italy, Ghana, the Czech Republic and the United States have hopes of qualifying.

After a surprise defeat to Ghana in the second round, the Czech Republic had to beat Italy in the final round to qualify from the group.

However, in this game, the Italian team played a brilliant defensive counter-attack. In the end, they won by two goals against the Czech Republic.

In the other match played at the same time, African newcomers Ghana defeated the United States team to finish second in the group with six points, and the historical surname advanced to the round of 16!

…… The format of Group F is relatively clear, with Brazil already qualified. And if the Australian team wants to advance, it basically only needs a draw!

There is also a theoretical chance of progression, but only if Australia loses and they win against a strong Brazil side.

In order to seize the last glimmer of hope of qualifying, Zico also lined up an attacking formation in this game.

Their attacking formation paid off, and with half an hour to go, they unexpectedly took the lead.

However, the rest of the game was completely taken over by the Brazilian team.

Even though Brazil hid a number of key players in this game, Ronaldo still appeared in the starting line-up. Obviously, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to score goals on his own team!

His teammates are also very supportive of him.

Just before half-time, Ronaldo latched on to a team-mate's header and scored his first World Cup goal with a header he was not good at, while also improving his World Cup tally record to 13 goals, levelling Fontaine and just one goal away from top-ranked Gerd Muller.

A record-equaling goal didn't keep Ronaldo waiting long.

After his team-mates had made it 3-1, Ronaldo scored a goalmouth push just before the end of the game. In doing so, his World Cup tally has reached fourteen, which is already in line with the record of German ventilation goalscorer Gerd Müller!

In the end, the score was also locked at 4-1, and Brazil qualified for the top of the group.

In the other game, Australia drew with Croatia and finished second in the group.

Australia will face a mighty Italy in the quarter-finals, while Brazil will face African newcomers Ghana!

…… There were no surprises in Group H, with two European teams, Spain and Ukraine, winning both. They finished first and second in the group.

Among them, the Ukrainian team, which reached the World Cup finals for the first time, also entered the World Cup knockout round with a historical surname!

…… The situation in Group G is also complicated.

Switzerland and South Korea are in the top two of the group with one win and one draw!

France played erratically in the first two games and were held to draw by Switzerland and South Korea in succession, accumulating only two points.

In the final round, Switzerland and South Korea will face each other directly.

France will face an early elimination of Togo.

If France win and Switzerland draw with South Korea, the group will feature three teams with five points. And the relationship between each other is a draw, and only according to the winner of the goal to decide who qualifies.

Based on the goals scored by all three teams, France must win by at least two goals against Togo in their last game to secure qualification.

As for whether they will be first or second in the group, they will have to see the faces of the Swiss and South Korean teams!

The French team, which was fighting against the odds, also broke out in the team with a "soldier incident"!

The big players of the French team, led by Zidane, have protested against Domenech's tactics of only leaving Henry as a single arrow in the first two games.

In this game, Domenech also lined up the combination of Henry and Trezeguet.

It was this change of formation that allowed France to win 2-0 against Togo.

In the other match, Switzerland won by the same score against South Korea.

As a result, France qualified only in second place and will have to face the matador Spain in the quarterfinals.

However, the Ukrainian team in Group H was lucky, because they faced the group leader Switzerland.

It also gave them the idea to keep going and make it to the quarterfinals!

After all three rounds of group stage in eight groups, the World Cup round of 16 and matchups have also been determined.

The exciting knockout round is about to take place
