The protest of the Spanish Football Federation has achieved a certain effect, and under the intervention of FIFA, the Brazilians had to restrain themselves and seriously send people to disperse the Brazilian fans who were making trouble outside.

However, this incident has brought a bond between the fans of the two countries.

"Brazilians are too tasteless, aren't they? As the host, can't you afford to lose if you engage in such an off-the-market move? ”

"Hehe, we haven't met them yet, they're already doing these smoky things, if we do encounter them in the knockout stage, then they won't have to send someone to shoot all our players with guns?"

"Don't say it, I really can't rule out this possibility!"

"That's right, given the law and order situation in the slums of Brazil, just buy a few gunmen to create such a terrorist attack!"

"Why do you get more scary the more you talk? Such an outrageous thing shouldn't have happened, right? ”

"Who knows, it's a mess here, and it's not strange what happens!"

This matter has been discussed on the Internet a lot, which has had a bad impact on this World Cup.

Brazilians are hoping to use the World Cup to raise their profile and attract tourists to boost their economy.

If such negative news discourages tourists from coming, or even damages the image of the country, it will be completely worth the loss.

As a result, their police department had to urgently intervene and say that they would strictly ensure the safety of the players who came to participate in the World Cup in Brazil and would not let them be threatened in any way.

However, the Spanish people still seem to be unable to believe the Brazilians' statement.

Bosque banned the players from running around, even if they had to go shopping, not alone, let alone in places where the security situation was very poor.

In fact, the law and order in Brazil is not so bad, in the rich areas, the police are very manpowered, and the patrols are also very strong, so the law and order situation is not too bad.

But in the slums, the situation is completely different.

Fortunately, the Spanish players are not here to travel, they usually just train and play, and they don't have much free time.

In the current situation of the great enemy, they have no intention of going out to play.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is time for the opening match of this World Cup.

As is customary, the hosts, Brazil, will be the first to play.

They will face Croatia from the Balkans.

Brazil is not only the host of this World Cup, but also the favourites to win the tournament.

Their opponents, Croatia, are not a traditional powerhouse, and can only be ranked in the third-rate level among many strong teams in Europe.

Therefore, in the predictions of all parties before the game, the outside world is more optimistic about the Brazilian team winning at home.

With Group B fixtures only starting tomorrow, Bosque asked the players to watch the opener as a group.

At 5 p.m. on June 12, the opening match of the 20th World Cup was played at the Corinthians Stadium in São Paulo.

The match was so hot that the 75,000-seat stadium was packed with more than 80,000 people, many of whom were Brazilian fans without tickets.

As far as the eye can see, the scene is almost a sea of green.

The Brazilians' morale was high, and with more than 80,000 fans cheering on them at home, they launched a fierce attack on Croatia from the start.

Brazil are the favourites to win the tournament, and the opponent is just an obscure underdog, so isn't this kind of game a hand-holding?

However, the course of the competition was beyond everyone's expectations.

Croatia dominated the game and threatened Brazil's goal twice in the 4th and 6th minutes.

It's just a pity that their strikers couldn't capitalise on their chances and didn't turn them into goals.

Still, Croatia's attack paid off.

In the 11th minute of the first half, Croatia sent a cross from the left, and Brazil's full-back Marcelo accidentally set himself up and sent the ball into his own goal.

The score became 0:1 and Brazil fell behind shortly after the opening!

It was Brazil's first own goal in 98 World Cup matches, and the first time in World Cup history that the first goal was an own goal.

Marcelo accidentally set two records!

Seeing their own players swinging their own own, the Brazilian fans at the scene were in an uproar.

The Croatian players were also a bit confused, it was just a cross that didn't pose much threat.

As a result, the opposing defender turned into a goal, can we overturn the strong hosts away from home?

As a result, the morale of the Croatian players was greatly boosted.

They played more aggressively in the games that followed, leaving Brazil very passive for a while.

The Brazilian fans at the scene were extremely worried, it was so difficult to play a Croatian team, how could they still win the championship?

The score behind made the Brazilian players a little impatient and in a hurry.

In the 14th minute, Brazil launched a quick attack on the right flank, Oscar's cross slid in front of the goal, but unfortunately the goal was a little higher, Neymar jumped very hard but still failed to touch the ball, Brazil missed the chance to equalize.

Neymar did his best to get this ball, he didn't touch the ball after he jumped, and the whole person almost fell on the court from a height of more than one meter, and it hurt when he looked at it.

In the 26th minute, there was some accident on the field, when Neymar and Modric were fighting for the landing point, they elbowed the opponent's neck and were shown a yellow card by the referee.

It was a collision between two no.10s, both of whom were suspected of fouling, but Neymar moved faster and harder.

At the crucial moment, Neymar stepped up.

In the 29th minute, Neymar relied on his personal ability, forced himself at the top of the arc of the penalty area, resisted the interference of defenders, and penetrated the door of Croatia with a sudden slash to help Brazil equalize and bring the two teams back to the same running line.

The Brazilian fans at the scene erupted in huge cheers, Neymar's name resounded in the sky, and countless Brazilians began to sing his praises.

Neymar himself was particularly excited, running to the corner after scoring the goal, facing the crowd with his arms outstretched, calmly accepting the cheers and applause of the fans.

After this goal, the morale of the Brazilian team was greatly boosted.

Their players are playing more and more relaxed, and the game is gradually falling into their control.

In the 69th minute, Brazil's striker Fred collapsed in the opposition penalty area, and the referee awarded a penalty and gave the Croatian defender a yellow card.

Slow-motion replays at the scene showed that the ball was controversial, with Croatian defender Lovren not making any obvious pushing, more like Fred himself slipped.

After the penalty was awarded, the Croatian players surrounded the referee in an emotional way, forcing him under a billboard on the sidelines.

The referee from Japan, Yuichi Nishimura, is also a good-natured person, surrounded by so many Croatian players, he was not angry, but he just noted the yellow card of Lovren before, and did not want to maintain his authority, so he added the yellow cards of other players.

Neymar stood in front of the penalty and calmly took the ball in.

2:1, the Brazilian team overtook the score.

With that goal, Neymar scored a brace to make him only the second Brazilian to score twice in the opening game of the World Cup.

Judging by Neymar's performance in this game, it seems that he has lived up to the high expectations of Brazilian fans.

As long as he can lead the team to win this World Cup, then he will undoubtedly become a hero in the hearts of Brazilians!

The Brazilian team played more and more smoothly, and in the 91st minute, Oscar stabbed another goal in the counterattack to help the Brazilian team freeze the score at 3:1.

In the end, the Samba Army reversed Croatia and got off to a good start.

In this game, if Neymar is a well-deserved MVP, then Oscar, who contributed a pass and a shot, and sent threatening passes in the attack many times, is undoubtedly the second best player in the Brazilian team.

It is very incredible that such an excellent player will go to the Chinese Super League to pan for gold in the future, and it is still in the prime of his career.

The reason for this can probably only be explained by 'they give too much'!

After the opening match, the group stage of the World Cup is in full swing.

At 13 o'clock on June 13, the second match of Group A will start.

After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Mexico, a traditional powerhouse from Central America, defeated Cameroon, a team from Africa, 1-0.

The first round of Group A matches is over, and Brazil is currently at the top of the table with a goal difference, and the qualification situation is very good.

Mexico is not far behind, Cameroon and Croatia are second and bottom respectively, and the prospects for both teams to qualify are very bad, as judging by the course of the first game, they are likely to not be able to play when they meet first and second places.

The Brazilian team's good start made the fans of the host country quite excited.

On the Internet, the fans of the Brazilian team were jubilant, and some optimistic Brazilian fans even began to look forward to the scene of the team winning the cup.

The World Cup is not a long schedule, and for the team aiming to win the championship, they only need to play a maximum of seven games.

Brazil have now won one game and for them there are only six games left.

This optimistic and even arrogant behavior has attracted a lot of criticism on the Internet.

Needless to say, the fans of the teams that came to this World Cup and aspired to win the championship did not think that their own team was weaker than Brazil, and naturally did not think that Brazil could win the championship because of one game.

Some neutral fans who don't have a home team, such as those in China, are also not used to the brazil's boastful behavior.

"That's too optimistic, isn't it? It's just the group stage, what can be seen from this? ”

"yes, Croatia is not a traditional powerhouse, isn't it normal for Brazil to beat them?"

"The strongest in Group A are Brazil and Mexico, and if Brazil can beat Mexico in the next game, then it will prove their quality!"

Mexico are a World Cup powerhouse, having played in 15 World Cups, having qualified from the group in each of the previous five World Cups, and are currently ranked 25th in the world.

Judging from the ranking and past record of the Mexican team, they are not a top team, but can only be regarded as a relatively strong second-tier team.

However, the gap between the second-tier and first-tier teams is not that big, and Brazil are in danger of losing if they make mistakes against them.

Moreover, both teams currently have three points, and Brazil will have to go all out to win their next game against Mexico if they are to top the group.

If Brazil can easily beat each other, it will prove that they do have the quality of a top team.

If they lose or draw by Mexico, their title prospects will be a big question mark.

After the match in Group A, it is immediately the turn of Group B.

The first match of Group B will be a battle of the spotlight - the defending champions vs the runners-up of the last World Cup!

This is a recreation of the World Cup final in South Africa four years ago!

It is also the first time in the history of the World Cup that the two sides of the last World Cup final met in the first round of this group stage.

The two teams have met 10 times in their history, with Spain holding a narrow advantage with 5 wins, 4 losses and 1 draw.

The last time the two sides met was on July 11, 2010, in the World Cup final in South Africa.

In that match, the two teams were tied in regulation time, and Andres Iniesta's strike in extra-time helped Spain win 1-0 against the Netherlands and claim the World Cup title in South Africa.

Four years later, the two teams met again, also on the stage of the World Cup, and everything seemed to be arranged by fate.

Four years later, things are different, and compared to the squad four years ago, the Dutch team has undergone a huge change in personnel.

Of the players who participated in the last World Cup, only 7 participated in this World Cup.

Spain, on the other hand, have 16 players who played in the 2010 World Cup, and in this regard, the Netherlands have a younger squad and Spain's squad is a bit older!

But even so, the outside world is more optimistic about Spain's victory.

More than 60% of the fans who bought Spain to win were bets on the spinach companies before the game, and less than 40% of fans thought the Netherlands would win.

It is worth mentioning that Spain's odds of losing 1:5 to the Netherlands are as high as 700 times, and whoever dares to gamble may be rich.

Although it wasn't the opener, the game was no less focused than the opener.

On the Internet, the topic of the match between Spain and the Netherlands is also discussed far more than other games.

At the pre-match press conference, hundreds of journalists from various countries poured in.

In the face of such high attention from the outside world, Dutch coach Louis van Gaal confidently said in an interview with reporters that he has found a way to deal with Spain and firmly believes that his team can win this game.

In the face of Van Gaal's bragging, Bosque responded calmly:

"Over the last four years, there have been countless teams who have claimed that they have found a way to deal with us, but in the end, they have all failed."

Bosque has the confidence to say so, and his team's record in international competitions in recent years is obvious to all.

World Cup, European Cup, Confederations Cup......

One championship trophy after another, Spain's hands are soft.

It is not that countries have failed to respond to them in a targeted manner, but without exception, all of them have failed.

Van Gaal wasn't the first to say so, and certainly won't be the last.

As for whether his big words can be fulfilled, it depends on how well these players under his command perform on the field.

On the afternoon of June 13, the whole Spanish team set off early and went to the new water source stadium in El Salvador.

When they arrived at the stadium in the bus, they happened to meet the bus of the Dutch team of the orange team.

The players of both teams noticed each other's arrival, looking at each other in the air, and a strong smell of gunpowder filled the air.

There was no need for anyone's encouragement, and the fighting spirit of the players of both teams was already burning.

In the pre-match warm-up session, there was no communication between the players of the two teams, and even some players who were teammates or had been teammates at the club did not have the intention of greeting each other.

On this occasion, there is no room for them to catch up in private.

In the pre-match coin guessing session, Casillas opted for tee-off.

The Dutch team chose the right half as their own half.

For today's game, both teams opted for the away kit.

The Spanish players wore uniforms with red stripes on a white background, and from a distance, they looked a bit like Real Madrid.

The Dutch opted for a blue shirt that was slightly darker than Chelsea's.

I don't know if it's because of the jerseys, the Spanish team looked extra tall today, and the players looked taller than usual.

Against their backdrop, the Dutch players are like dwarfs, and the gap is very obvious.

This scene made Bosque on the sidelines frown a little, and he confirmed that it was not an illusion, and the average height of the Dutch players on the field was indeed inferior to that of Spain.

This phenomenon proves that Louis van Gaal has chosen a speedy player today, and they will definitely be very aggressive on the wings!

The referee in charge of officiating the match was Rizzoli from Italy.

At 16 o'clock, with the referee's whistle, the first round of Group B of the 2014 World Cup officially started.
