29 - The end of the group stage
"A strong team, when it comes to the ball, it's really different. Some teams play tacit ball and play extremely boring, while some teams can play tacit ball and play good scenes. Looking at the game between Germany and the United States, it is clear that Germany has obviously stopped playing, and it can still play a good scene, which is really not simple. ”
The game of the last day was not too unexpected. Germany and the United States teamed up to advance, although the field was good-looking, but this game still has a strong tendency to tacit ball. Of course, the game was not as unethical as people had estimated before the game, and the Germans did not deliberately lose to Argentina and did not play 0-0, they still scored a goal to ensure the victory.
In the other group, Belgium played incomprehensibly, but thanks to the good quality of the players, they still advanced to the knockout stage. And in their same group, Russia was completely killed by the goalkeeper - two low-level mistakes sent away four points, and Russia must have been depressed.
"That's pretty good." Lao Niu is quite satisfied with the top 16 that has appeared, "The real surprises are Costa Rica and Greece, and the other teams can't be regarded as too big an upset." Portugal has been looking very good over the years, not playing, this World Cup, Portugal has six injuries, the team can only be carried by Ronaldo, Ronaldo did not play out against the sky, it is not surprising that he was eliminated. Ghana had infighting before the game, so it's no wonder they weren't eliminated. The Russian goalkeeper will kill themselves and see what kind of ball they played. Originally, it was also an Eastern European tulip, but what was trained by Capello, such a conservative style of play, and when he met a goalkeeper who was not very good, he was looking for death. As for South Korea...... They have worked hard, but it is really a gap in strength. 11 and 10 can't suppress the opponent, the gap is too big. In this group, South Korea is at the bottom of the strength, and there is nothing to say. ”
With the completion of the match on the last day, South Korea was also eliminated. Three draws and nine defeats, the Asian team only got three points in 12 games, and none of the four teams left Brazil. Before the game, Japan boasted of winning the championship, and South Korea said that they wanted to return to the semi-finals, all of which became jokes. This World Cup is obviously not a lucky day for Asian teams, the humidity and heat of the venue have widened the physical gap of the team a lot, and even European teams can't hold it, let alone Asian teams? The American team is collectively strong, five teams in South America and three teams in North America entered the round of 16 together, directly occupying half of the country, relying on geographical advantages, six teams in Europe advanced, two teams in Africa advanced, they compared with the American team, although the situation is not particularly tragic, but it is also very unsatisfactory.
"It's just a pity that the four South American teams are all in the same half. As a result, only one of the four teams will make it to the final four. In this way, there are only two South American teams in the top four - one of the four here, and how far Argentina goes. ”
In last year's World Cup, in the round of 16, the American team also occupied a lot of share, and was even exclaimed as the Copa America. But when it comes to the semi-finals, there is only one Uruguay left in the Americas, which is much worse than expectations. Although the situation this year looks very good, only two of the five South American teams can reach the top four at most, and the final result is not so easy to judge.
"The top 16 have all been produced, and in the group stage, each team is still good enough to have a fun and have a little fun, but in the knockout round, their games can no longer be released, rotated, and low-key. The knockout round is finally about to begin, and the showdown of the World Cup should finally begin! ”
