Facing the five girls who claimed to be his sister-in-law, Degan was really a little overwhelmed, and finally found an excuse to escape back to the hotel, and the experience of half a day was more tiring than playing a game.

The next day, the World Cup Group C match also officially started, because of Beckham's relationship, the contest between England and the United States, Deegan also paid special attention.

England vs. the United States, history is inevitably revealed, the two teams have met nine times in international A-level competitions before, the British team has a 7-2 advantage, including 10:0 such a massacre, but the results of these games are not as shocking as one, that is, the 0:1 defeat in 1950, after all, it is a World Cup game, and the impact is very different.

This game is the first time in 60 years that the two teams meet again in the World Cup, the last time the United States team broke out a big upset 1:0, the English regarded it as a great shame, this time naturally holding back the strength of revenge.

Steven Gerrard opened the scoring early in the fourth minute and England got off to a good start, but goalkeeper Green's low mistake made it to naught.

1:1, in terms of qualifying from the group, this is an acceptable result for England, but it is somewhat unbearable in terms of face. 60 years of shame has not snowed, and a new hatred has been added to the butter hand, and I don't know when England will meet the United States next time.

Capello led LinkedIn Gran's first major game to a somewhat nervous role, with passivity in the first half making him restless, and a scoreless finish in the second half.

Before the game, Capello said that England have the ability to reach the final, but judging from the form of the whole team in the first game, it will be difficult to achieve the goal.

The England team was discounted when it came to the tournament, which almost became a "stereotype", and the media praised it before the game, but when it came time to start training, it was found that it was not like that, and the team was very weak.

A scene in the 15th minute of the first half was surprising, in order to prevent a tactical corner, everyone in England actually retracted to the penalty spot, and the formation unconsciously closed so much, which can only show that the heart is too tight.

Green may not have such a low-level mistake in a season at West Ham United, but when he arrives on the big stage of the World Cup, he is "exposed", and psychological factors account for a large proportion.

Looking at the attackers, Heskey's solo shot into Howard's arms, Frank Lampard's goal-scoring kick and Lennon's cross were often missed, which was clearly not at their level in the Premier League.

The most important thing to highlight the weakness of the England team in the tournament is the penalty shoot-out. Losing to Germany in Euro '96, being eliminated by Argentina in the '98 World Cup, losing to Portugal in Euro '04 and '06 World Cup, England fell in penalty shootouts, and in major tournaments in recent years, they almost didn't win before the penalty spot, which is undoubtedly the crux of the Three Lions' psychology.

In fact, at the beginning of Capello's tenure, he saw England's psychological problems, when the team was blocked from the European Championship by Croatia, and the whole team had a shadow. Fortunately, he defeated Croatia twice in the World Cup qualifiers, sweeping away the gloom of the past, and the British praised Capello as a "ghost hunter".

But now that it's the World Cup, England's tight problems seem to be recurring, and the most maddening thing is the way points are lost, Green's low-level mistakes are a joke on any team, and it looks like England will have to change the door next game.

The only consolation is that the draw was against the group rivals the United States, and the next two opponents were weak, so qualifying was not a big problem.

For this draw, the Americans should be satisfied, although the world ranking is 14th, but the overall popularity of the American team, has never reached the point where it can be on par with his high world ranking, and the total value of the team's 23 people is only worth Rooney alone, but it is such a team that has played the same level of stability today as always, attacking, attacking, and defending, which is enough to make so many big-name stars in England unable to find the goal.

Rooney, who was pinned on by fans all over England, was also watched to death in this game, and the person who stared at him, Degan is no stranger, it is Oney, who once worked with him in AC Milan for a year, this bitter man abandoned by Milan played a very successful terminator role today, he let Rooney taste the pain of not being able to find a chance in the vital area of the American team even if he is not injured, even if he has enough patience, even if he maintains a considerable tacit understanding and inspiration with his teammates.

Oneu played a standard centre-back in this game, not dribbling past midfield at all, except for corners and free-kicks, and he had to guard against England's formidable attacking force, especially the forward combination of Wayne Rooney and Heskey.

Although Oneu was partly responsible for the loss of the first goal, and in the face of England's technical ground penetration, Oneneu played a dumbfounded spectator, but it can be said that this goal sparked his desire to play, and since then, Onewu has become an absolute defensive Optimus Prime like Greece's Dellas at Euro 2004.

England's offense, pseudo-fans who are familiar with the routine can say one or two, the attack on the side, the front of the double strikers, of course, the double German combination must also keep up in time, anyway, everyone is physically strong, and the minimum return defense will be complied with, and the American team will be washed away long ago if it is against it according to its reputation.

In today's game, the American guard line led by Oney has maintained a considerable ability to unite and cooperate, and Oneu himself, in the state after losing the ball, also makes people believe that the title of American Footballer in 2007 is not for nothing, he attacked several times in advance, stopped Rooney before the ball was broken, and Rooney finally had the opportunity to dribble the ball in front of the goal, but Oney immediately met the whole body, so that Rooney could not start or pass at all.

Oney is ruthless in Rooney, and Chubby is also a little reluctant in this game, not to fight hard with the opponent, so when facing Oneiou, he basically didn't take any advantage, in the face of the tall and strong Oney, Rooney can't hit it even if he has an idea, it can be said that under Oney's watch, Rooney's game today is somewhat awkward.

The confrontation between Onev and Rooney was a microcosm of this match, and the whole England team thought that their hearts were higher than the sky, but they were beaten by the Americans with a combination of punches and hit the south wall, and ended up with a life that was thinner than paper.

Degan certainly didn't lament the Englishman's draw, and the biggest thing that displeased him throughout the game was that Beckham sat on the bench for 90 minutes and didn't get a single minute to play.

In the other match of Group C, Slovenia, who returned to the World Cup after eight years, won their first victory in the World Cup finals thanks to a low-level mistake by the Algerian goalkeeper, and although the goal was not pretty, it was definitely a celebration for this small country with a population of more than 2 million, and I believe that the joy of this moment will not be inferior to the third place in the World Cup in Croatia in '98.

After a long slump, football in the former Yugoslavia has slowly regained its original vigor, and many countries separated from Yugoslavia have proved with practical actions that each country has too many football talents.

Needless to say, Slovenia and Serbia, who reached the final stage in South Africa, are still a recognized European powerhouse in the qualifiers, and they are currently ranked 10th in the world, which is also the highest among the countries separated from the former Yugoslavia.

Bosnia and Herzegovina played exceptionally well in the preliminary stage, only one step away from entering the World Cup in South Africa, and Macedonia and Montenegro also broke away from the bottom of European football power as quickly as possible.

The next day, Group D was also in full swing, with another team from the former Yugoslavia, Serbia, making their debut, and Serbia captain Stankovic setting an alternative World Cup record for three different national teams at the start of the match against Ghana.

In 1998, at the age of 20, Stankovic was named in the Yugoslav squad for the World Cup, and despite the war in the Balkans at the time, football brought rare joy to the children of this fast land.

The Yugoslav national team has a superstar like Savicevic, and the 20-year-old Stankovic also found his chance, Yugoslavia was placed in a group with Iran, Germany, and the United States, and successfully qualified, but in the 1/8 finals, Yugoslavia lost 1:2 to the Netherlands.

In 2006, the name "Yugoslavia" has long been history, and even "Serbia and Montenegro" is about to become history, and the 2006 World Cup will be the last time that Serbia and Montenegro will participate in an international tournament in the name of this country.

Although Serbia and Montenegro did well in the European qualifiers, becoming the best defensive team in the European qualifiers and, along with Belgium, teamed up to defeat Spain, Stankovic and his team-mates suffered a waterloo, losing all three of their matches against Argentina, the Netherlands and Ivory Coast.

In 2010, Stankovic participated in the World Cup as the captain of the Serbian national team, and now the Serbian national team, in a group with the French team in the qualifiers, locked the first place in the group one round early.

On one side is the Serbian team with big-name stars such as Vidic, Ivanovic, Stankovic, and Žikic, and the Serbian team with the highest average height in the round of 32. On the one hand, there is a Ghana team that lacks the three major stars in the team, Essien, Muntari and Appia, and the youngest average age in the round of 32.

Before the start of the game, it is believed that the vast majority of fans will bet on Serbia, but this "odd" men's team finally lost 0:1 in front of the Ghana team composed of a group of hairy boys, this result once again proves that an iron law on the green field is that strength and strength are often not equal.

Interestingly, Ghana coach Rajevac is a Serb who has made good on his pre-match promise against his home country, showing no mercy to his compatriot Antich, who is much more famous than himself.

You must know that Antic, who is at the helm of Serbia, is the only coach in world football who has coached Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid, while Rajevac is unknown.

In the game, Serbia's stars looked a little fragmented on the field, and Stankovic was expected to play the role of the team's playmaker, but as the captain, his performance was mediocre throughout the game, and even when the team won a set-piece in front, people will find his "long-awaited" figure.

Without Stankovic's thread, the Serb was scattered on the pitch, Vidic made a number of serious mistakes in United's imposing central gate, and Pantridge, who was once famous in the Bundesliga, was always sleepwalking.

The young Ghana carried forward the spirit of the newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and has maintained a strong fighting spirit from the beginning to the end. Facing the invincible youth of Ghana, Serbia still had the ability to parry in the first 75 minutes.

However, with Lukovic being ejected for accumulating two yellow cards, Serbia began to fall behind across the board. In the 83rd minute, substitute Kuzmanovic gave Ghana a penalty after a senseless handball foul in the box, and the 24-year-old scored the winning goal for his own team.

After scoring his first ever World Cup goal for Ghana in Germany four years ago, the striker once again topped the team.

When the game was over, probably all the Serbian fans couldn't believe their eyes, their team actually lost, lost to a baby team.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and this is Serbia's first World Cup match, and the result is a failure. Although not as star-studded as Yugoslavia was in the past, Serbia still have a number of stars who can change the game on their own, and in qualifying, they beat France to top the group, and the fans hoped that the surprise would continue in South Africa, but the result was pain and regret.

From players to coaches, Serbia was overpowered by their opponents. On the pitch, the players are heavy, slow, have no ideas or motivation, and are completely scattered.

In the entire first half, only two free-kicks made a slight impression, one with Kolarov shooting directly over the goal, and one with the lowest mistake in Pantrich, wasting a delicate combination.

In the second half, Lukovic's two yellow cards were unnecessary, and Kuzmanovic's handball in the box was even more inexplicable.

Head coach Antich lost from the pre-game layout to the on-the-spot command, he obviously did not expect that the Ghana team, which lacked a number of main players, would actually rush and beat as soon as it came up, Serbia's rhythm was completely disrupted, and it could only passively follow the other side, unable to attack in the first half, and unable to defend back, and the situation was controlled by the opponent.

In the second half, Ghana focused on attacking Kolarov's left flank, but Antich did not make corresponding adjustments, and as a result, the opponent played more and more smoothly, and Serbia was completely passive.

To make matters worse, the substitution Kuzmanovic not only failed to play an attacking role, but instead gave the opponent a fatal penalty.

If in the last World Cup, Serbia and Montenegro's poor performance was influenced by political factors, then this time, Serbia is completely inferior to others.

The players were not excited enough both physically and mentally, their form was sluggish, they lacked mental preparation when they encountered difficulties, and the technical and tactical arrangements of the coaching staff were also full of doubts, and Pantrich was clearly out of shape, making frequent low-level mistakes, but he played the full 90 minutes. Next up against Germany and Australia, Serbia will have to make adjustments immediately or have little hope of reaching the knockout rounds.

The next duel between the German tanks and the Australian kangaroos finally lasted 90 minutes, with Germany beating Australia 4-0, with Podolski scoring and Klose, Muller and Kacau scoring goals each.

Without the core Ballack, the German team played smoothly and won a big victory, and at the same time, through this game, the leader of the new generation of German team also took the opportunity to rise, this person is Ozil.

Ballack's injury has given Mesut Ozil the best chance to change the tactics around Ballack's attack, and the biggest beneficiary of this change is Mesut Ozil.

After Ballack's injury, Mesut Ozil was the heart of the attacking midfield in Loew's German team, and Loew once said: "Nobody plays like him, he is almost perfect. ”

In Loew's 4231 formation for Germany, Mesut Ozil was the central figure responsible for the team's attacking organization, and Ozil took over the task perfectly in this game.

Just six minutes into the game, Mesut Ozil sent a one-on-one goal, but Klose's shot after the breakthrough was saved by Schouwasser, and then Muller's cross from the right was flanked by Ozil in the middle, and the volley was blocked by the Australian defender, but this was only the beginning of Ozil's performance.

Two minutes later, Mesut Ozil won the ball on the right, a feint shook the Australian defender straight away, and finally sent a comfortable behind-the-back ball to Muller with his left foot in the box, and Muller took the ball and crossed the back of the box to Podolski's volley to help Germany break the deadlock.

In the 70th minute, Mesut Ozil also provided an assist when he crossed from the left side of the box and the unguarded Cacau slotted home with ease.

With Germany at a low point of nearly 10 years, and as Ballack aged, the Germans had been hoping for a new "savior" in the midfield, and now the emergence of Mesut Ozil has given the Germans hope.

Mesut Ozil, the youngsters' representative, put on a near-perfect performance, while veteran Klose is defending his place in the national team.

Bravely rushing to the top of the goalkeeper in the direction of the goalkeeper's attack, and when Klose flew up, everyone who knew him well knew that the goal was there, and it was the most adrenaline-pumping way to score goals, which is unique to the new generation of German bombers Klose.

In the 2002 World Cup, Germany swept Saudi Arabia 8:0, Klose received a cross from the left side of Ballack, and scored a goal with a header in this fearless way, and now eight years have passed, Klose, who has passed the age of standing, faced the Premier League first-line goalkeeper Schwarzer, like a surprise death squad that flew upward, and scored with a header in 0.5 seconds before the opponent's iron fist was swung, and the blood, courage and infinite pride of German football were all in this blow!

In 2002, Klose, who was young, faced Asia's top goalkeeper Dayaya, scored with three perfect headers, and fully expressed the refreshing energy of the German air tyrant pinching this West Asian soft persimmon, and Klose in that game gave a perfect interpretation of what it means to be an air bully with five headers, and he also won the silver boot award of the World Cup at that time.

Four years later, at the World Cup in Germany, although Klose scored only one header, his five kaleidoscopic goals were enough to make him famous in the history books of German football.

49 goals in 96 games, Klose sits firmly in the second place in the German national team goal list, the closest active international to him is Ballack who is injured and absent, but only 42 goals, but Ballack as a midfielder, and older than Klose, to catch up is a miracle, Podolski 39 goals ranked third among the active internationals, his future is still relatively bright, now Klose wants to chase is Muller, who scored 68 goals, objectively speaking, it is really difficult to catch up with the legend, but to get to the point where it is now, Who can say that Klose is not worthy of the word great?

Before the start of the World Cup, Klose, who couldn't play the main team at Bayern at all and scored too few goals, was recruited into the national team, and whether it would become a bad move for Loew became a common speculation among everyone.

But Klose used his header to hit back at people's skeptical gaze, Klose may be the history-making figure specially arranged by God for the German national team, so what the fans have to do is to smile, calmly watch the German team's performances one after another, watch Klose devastate again and again, and if you are lucky, you may be able to see the sudden juvenile Klose in South Africa in 2010, and play his signature flip again.

In the Group E competition, the Netherlands and Denmark played each other for the first time in the World Cup, but they had a relationship, and the European Championship feud 18 years ago was unforgettable for the Orange Shirts.

In the 1992 European Championship, Denmark staged a fairy tale to win the championship, defeating the Netherlands in the semi-finals, when the orange team was in good shape, the three musketeers were still in the team, and the group stage had beaten Germany 3:1 cleanly, before the semi-finals, no one was optimistic that Denmark could pass, but the final result was surprising.

Larsson's brace gave Denmark the lead twice, but Bergkamp and Rijkaard equalised, especially the second goal of the 'Black Swan' just before the end, and the Dutch had a strong chance of coming from behind. However, in the penalty shoot-out, Schmeichel saved Basten's penalty and the Dutchman was left with deep regret.

The Netherlands have a new generation of talent, while Denmark can only continue to rely on outdated veterans such as Romerdal and Glenschal.

In the end, the new generation of the Netherlands defeated the aging Denmark 2-0, although the victory was not very beautiful, but this victory gave people hope that the Dutch team will change their fate.

Since the 1974 World Cup, the Netherlands have played well in all tournaments, but they have missed out on the title, with the only exception being when the Three Musketeers were at their most mature, when they won Euro 1988.

But at the World Cup, the Dutchman was always touted as the favourite before the tournament but left the tournament early. Many football experts and journalists have delved into this bizarre phenomenon, and it has been found to be related to the personality of the Dutch.

The Dutch are very egoistic, very arrogant, the team should maintain self-confidence, but self-confidence and arrogance are often in the line, because of the ego, the Dutch team's dressing room is torn apart, and the 11 people on the field are naturally difficult to form a whole, they are playing a form of "integral football", but mentally, the Dutch team has never formed a whole, but from this World Cup, Malvik will cure the Dutch team's chronic disease.

In the match with the Danish team, Van Persie on the front line formed a "chemical reaction" with Kuyt, who was once despised by him, and their cooperation with Sneijder and Van der Vaart put great pressure on the Danish team's defense.

After Robin van Persie was substituted, Kuyt stepped into the centre-forward position and the diligent Liverpool striker seized the opportunity, and when Elia's one-on-one ball was saved by Sorensen and bounced off the post, Kuyt slotted into the empty net. All the members of the Dutch team came to hug Kuyt, and the Dutch team showed a sense of harmony to the outside world.

Coach Malvik is not a big name, and his tactical ability cannot be said to be the top in the world, but Malvik's strength is "attacking the heart", Malvik clearly understands the true thoughts of his 23 players, and finally unifies the ideas of the players, the strength of the Dutch team is terrifying.

This World Cup trip, at least so far, has been very harmonious within the Dutch team, and when the orange continue to maintain that harmony, they will go further.

The Netherlands won Denmark for their first World Cup win and are in good shape to qualify from the group, with the remaining two opponents in the same group, Japan and Cameroon, difficult to pose a threat to the Orange, and Van Marwijk could even plan ahead of the knockout rounds.

However, the Dutchman's victory was not "perfect", and even somewhat disappointing, as Denmark's collapse in the second half was all due to the score being behind and the Netherlands did not show much of an advantage in the equilibrium situation, but fell into the trap of the opponent for a while.

In front of Paulsen's own goal, the Netherlands almost had no way to counter-attack Denmark's solid defense, while the Viking pirates created better chances in front of goal, with Bendtner and Romerdahl both threatening shots in front of goal, while the Netherlands, on the other hand, had a dull attack and a weak defense for quick counter-attacks.

Dutch football has always been known for its flamboyant and beautiful attacking style, but the Dutch in this game are clearly dwarfed by Belgium and Germany, who have played before.

Denmark are mostly veterans, but they have a lot of experience and a very good strategy of dense defending, with the exception of Bendtner, the rest of the Danish are almost piled up in the middle of the box, leaving the Netherlands, who have less attack on the wings, helpless.

The Dutch team itself also has some unfavorable situations, normal games, Dutch players seem to be unable to run, interspersed are not active, and Belgium, Germany is different from the situation of one person holding the ball, many people around to respond, the Netherlands in the possession of the ball without the ball running too little, the passing of the point of contact is not much, naturally can not play cooperative.

It can be said that the Netherlands, which was known for its transposition interspersed and all-attacking and defending, now the core of the tactical system is also running without the ball.

However, for this Dutch team, there is still room to improve the combat effectiveness, the physical fitness and running of the players will be better than the first game as the tournament deepens, and the comeback of Robben and the emergence of the youngster Elia are all factors in favor of the team.

Immediately after another match in Group E, the matchup between Cameroon and Japan has become the most dull game of this World Cup, I am afraid not many people will think before the game, Cameroon and Japan's clash will be the most dull game since the start of the game, but after 90 minutes of play, I am afraid that not many people will deny that this ball is the most dull since the start of this World Cup, and it can even be said to be the ugliest and boring game.

Despite the fact that there were goals in the game, and it was a goal in the open game, it did not hide the dullness of the game, and the eventual victory of the Japanese team only had one shot on target in the whole game, but the goal was scored.

Before the game, it was widely believed that this Japanese team lacked sharp strikers and had very limited attacking power, so it would be difficult to score.

Japan's opponent Cameroon in this game has a luxurious lineup, Inter killer Samuel Eto'o has been awarded the African Footballer of the Year several times, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an iconic figure in African football. Song seems to be the pillar of Arsenal, left-back Héctor and centre-back Basson are both playing for Tottenham, goalkeeper Kameni has been famous for a long time and is an excellent goalkeeper in La Liga, and the core of the midfield Emana is amazingly talented and an indispensable player in Cameroon. Song is a legendary star of the African Lions, and in addition, former Chelsea big man Geremi, La Liga killer Webb, and new Ligue 1 champion Marseille's Jack-of-all-trades Mbia are also well-known figures.

It can be said that Cameroon has reached a very high level in the squad, but in the game against Japan, what we saw was the strange selection method of coach Le Gan, who had to select short men among the tall men and use a warm-up squad to play the World Cup.

The first surprise came from the goalkeeper, the absolute main Kameni did not appear, on it was Suleimano, a player who played in the Turkish Super League, the goalkeeper's performance was not today's defeat, the doubt expressed here is, what is wrong with Kameni?

The next choice of Leguin is a fatal move, first the choice of the defender, the right back is Mbia, the standard French strongman, but the problem is that Mbia plays the center back and the back, the right back is obviously not suitable for him, this position is also a very strange choice for Cameroon, whether this team has a right back, if it is Mbia, why is he not active on the right side?

In terms of centre-back options, Le Glangue was headed by Bassoon and Okolo, with the former starting at Tottenham last season and the latter doing well at Monaco, and it looks like the combination could do it. But the problem is also obvious, two central defenders, one is 20 years old and the other is 23 years old, and with such a young configuration to play central defenders in the World Cup, Leguin doesn't take the Japanese team too seriously, or does Cameroon have no central defenders? 33-year-old Rigobert. Song is the choice, don't look at him as a temper tantrum, but with his 133 national team appearances experience, in such a complicated occasion as the World Cup, there should be no problem with veterans, but Le Gan turned a blind eye.

The biggest problem for the French coach is the midfield, and he can't look down on Lao Song for his own reasons for insisting, but what about Xiao Song?

This defender, who has become an absolute main force at Arsenal, watched the full 90 minutes today, and Emana, who plays for Real Betis, only came on as a substitute.

Le Guin used Marquin and Eina, one for Lyon and the other for Ajax, which is barely acceptable, but how to explain the other choice in the midfield?

Leguin actually sent 18-year-old Matip, although he felt good in the warm-up game, but the World Cup is obviously a different kind of competition, 18-year-old, Matip, who has only played for the national team four times, would rather be an 18-year-old child, and not need Arsenal's absolute main Alexander. Song, if such a Cameroon does not lose, it will be intolerable.

Looking back at the unexpected candidates that Legon chose to eliminate the mainstream view, how did they play?

Cameroon's three midfielders basically did not operate very effectively, and they couldn't give threatening passes in the first half, so they spent time in the midfield with Japanese players. There were a few leaks in the second half, which was enough to see the weakness of the defense, and it was only when Geremi came on the field that he and Mbia's strong attack on the right flank, coupled with Emana's advance from the middle, each had some effect.

Imagine, if Legin had been decent in the starting lineup and had put out the expected strong formation, he would not dare to say that he would win against Japan, at least he would not have lost so ugly.

The next day, the defending champions Italy drew 1-1 with Paraguay in the first round of Group F of the World Cup, and in fact a draw was lucky for them.

Before the game, Paraguay coach Martino pointed out that the current Italian team is not creative, Martino said: "Everyone knows that the most effective weapon of Italy is their defense, although they are world champions, they are sappers on the field, they are meticulous in their execution, and we are probably stronger physically, more aggressive tactically." ”

In the eyes of Paraguayans, Italy is not a strong team, and it can even be said that in Martino's heart, Paraguayan players are more creative than Italian players.

Throughout the game, Italy did show a lack of creativity as Martino said, with no real threat throughout the game, and the only goal came from a mistake by the Paraguayan goalkeeper.

And due to Andrea Pirlo's injury, the Italian double midfielder can only send a combination of Montolivo and De Rossi, who has always been only a role to assist Pirlo in the Italian national team. And Montolivo, who played very well in Fiorentina, did not bring any hope to the national team.

Judging from this game, Lippi hopes that Montolivo can become Pirlo's stand-in and be responsible for Italy's offensive organization, in fact, Montolivo does want to do this in the game, but unfortunately his ability is not on the same level as Pirlo, this player who has been reduced to a substitute for Hamsik in Fiorentina, except for a weak shot in the first half, has never given effective help to the Italian team, and what is even more sad is that Montolivo and De Rossi are already the most technically capable players in today's starting 11.

Looking at the midfielder on the bench in Italy, Gattuso is a pure sapper, Palombo is not much better than the sapper, Camoranesi now has even more fat on his stomach than he is creative, and the only technical player is Di Natale, and he is not a playmaker, just a skilled striker.

Looking at Lippi's 23-man squad, except for Pirlo, there is no one who can be linked to the word elegance, and now Italy can only rely on dense defense and then look for some counter-attacking opportunities, and the three words creativity have been insulated from this Italian team.

Back in the 1990 World Cup, Baggio scored a few goals in a row against Czechoslovakia, which became a classic goal in the history of the World Cup.

In 1994, Baggio took the ball and ran for almost 30 metres, shook off Subisareta, and then pushed the ball into the empty net from a tight angle, and these goals are like a world away for the current Italian team.

If the former Italy brought football and fans an elegant style of play and a little pathos, then the current Italy has left the world with only simple and rough cooperation, high-altitude bombardment of low crosses.

In this game, Italy did not even have more than five consecutive passes, and the once elegant Azzurri has now become a blue leader.

Degan, who watched the game in person, was caught by reporters after the game and only said one sentence: "How exactly we lost to them four years ago, it's really weird!" ”

Degan's words may have some elements of willfulness, but they also reflect from one side that the current Italian army has completely declined.

Compared with the rising Netherlands and Germany, the Italians have obviously begun to lag behind in the field of football!

In the other match of Group F, New Zealand drew with Degan's teammate Hamsik Slovakia with a stoppage-time goal to get the "first point" of the World Cup, which was neither surprising nor surprising.

The reason for the surprise is that, judging from the technical statistics of the whole game, the New Zealand team is basically inferior in all statistics, and the situation is basically controlled by the Slovak team. It's not surprising because the New Zealand team really has the capital to "call the board" with Slovakia, the first is the body, and the second is the playing style of long passing.

With these two axes, the New Zealanders created a miracle on the World Cup stage, with Degan's team-mate Hamsik scoring his first goal of the World Cup in Slovakia, but in the end he had to settle for a reluctant draw.
