PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

Although after the game, Camacho was still chattering about the penalty that Corina did not award to Spain in the first half, believing that Zidane's elbow to block Guardiola's cross was absolutely deliberate, and Corina made a wrong decision, but most people believe that Raul, who missed the crucial penalty, should be most responsible for the Matador's exit!

After all, compared to Zidane's dominant performance in this game, Real Madrid icon Raul's performance tonight clearly did not meet people's expectations for him, especially when he missed the penalty that was enough to help Spain equalize, which made the Spanish golden boy lose a lot of color.

However, no matter what people say, what controversy exists in the game, after Spain announced its exit, the list of the top four of this European Championship has finally been released!

Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and France, these four teams are about to battle it out for a ticket to the European Championship final!

At the same time, the internationals who have said goodbye to the European Championship have also received a large number of invitations from the national team after the national team competition. In particular, players like Mendieta, Zahovic, and Zivo, who have excellent performances in the European Championship, have become the sweethearts of the transfer market!

There will be blockbuster deals after the tournament, and this has been a normal thing in international football for a long time.

Without further ado, let's get down to business, and after another short three-day break, the semi-finals of the European Championship have begun.

The first match was between France and Portugal, with the Gallic Roosters in a united squad and strong players on all three lines, and the Portuguese national team, which is at the heart of the golden generation, at the King Baudouin Stadium.

Although Portugal took the lead thanks to a goal from their leading scorer Nuno Gomes in the 19th minute, the tenacious Frenchman pulled one back in the 51st minute of the second half through Thierry Henry to level the score at 1-1!

After scoring the equaliser for his side, Thierry Henry himself looked excited. After all, in the past season, the talented striker at Juventus could only be described as miserable - only four goals in 25 league appearances, such a report card will be considered a true parallel commodity no matter which striker is put on!

Of course, the exception is for a purely blue-collar striker like Heskey, who is more tactically significant, because the meaning of their zài is not to score goals, but to act as a meat shield for their teammates, playing a role in containing and pulling space, and scoring is not their main task.

Then, for the rest of the game, the two teams played each other's games on the pitch, but neither could break through the opponent's goal again, so the game went to extra time!

After entering extra time, the players of both sides were extremely cautious and coincidentally adopted a strategy of stability on the court. After all, unlike before, the current overtime is based on the Golden Ball system, which is the method of sudden death. If there is an accident, there is no room for redemption.

Therefore, for many teams now, after entering overtime, they would rather choose to defend than take the initiative to attack, because taking the initiative means that the opponent will also get more shooting opportunities, and the chance of sudden death is naturally much greater.

It has to be said that although there are hard injuries in the forward line, the Portuguese golden generation in their prime does have the ability to compete for the heavyweight championship, and in the face of the overall strength of the French team, the Portuguese players under the leadership of Rui Costa and Figo have to deal with it, and they have pushed the game in the direction of the penalty shootout.

The French, who were well aware of Portugal's intentions, naturally did not want to satisfy their opponents. Although Portugal have not had any outstanding results in penalty shoot-outs in recent years, France are not very good at taking penalties either, as they have only a handful of players in their team such as Zidane and Djokaef who can be relied on on 12 yards, and it is difficult to say if they choose five.

Therefore, compared to Portugal, who dragged the game into a penalty shootout, France was more active in attack. However, taking the initiative does not necessarily mean that it will be rewarded accordingly, and Portugal, instigated by Costa and Figo, also created a lot of threats on the counter-attacks of the French team.

As the clock ticked by, just as Portugal was secretly proud that their plan was about to come true, the most controversial scene of the game emerged: in the 117th minute, Wiltord hit Xavier with a follow-up shot in the penalty area, and the referee from Austria awarded a penalty to France in a very unwise and ambiguous situation!

Although Xavier himself desperately explained to the referee that he did not touch the ball with his hand, and Figo and others also expressed their indignation and dissatisfaction to the referee, none of these actions could change the result of the decision.

In the end, with a controversial penalty scored by Zinedine Zidane, the French reached the final of the European Championship for the first time in 16 years, while the Portuguese, who was beaten by a golden goal, went home with hatred!

After witnessing the team's elimination due to a referee's misjudgment, the young Nuno Gomez could no longer contain his anger, and under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of fans in front of the stadium and many more fans sitting in front of the TV to watch the game, the young striker who shined in this European Championship openly launched a chase against the referee of this game in front of the public!

Despite the widespread sympathy of public opinion for Portugal's exit, and some voices such as "UEFA escorts France to the final", Gomez was quick to pay the price for his violent act - the day after the match, the UEFA disciplinary committee did not hesitate to impose an eight-month ban on the young Portuguese striker as a punishment and admonition! Of course, this ban is limited to the national team.

Naturally, the French, who were the biggest gainers of UEFA's decision, expressed their support for UEFA's decision, and took advantage of it to proudly analyze the wisdom and correctness of the referee's decision in the newspapers and on television - if not, why would it be Gomez who was punished, and not the referee who gave the penalty?

However, before the French could be happy about it, another news released by UEFA's disciplinary committee shortly afterwards gave the French those who got carried away in the face. The Austrian referee who was in charge of officiating the semi-finals was also banned from officiating the international A-level tournament for six months by the Disciplinary Committee, on the grounds that "in the absence of evidence on the spot, it artificially caused a heavy impact on the outcome of the match"!
