Sorry, I forgot to schedule the ...... ※※※It's been a day since the game, and Spanish fans may not be willing to accept the fact that Spain, the pre-tournament favourites, were knocked out by England's worst player on goal with a single kick.

This game made George. Wood made a name for himself in world football, and even the most pseudo-fans now know George Wood. Wood's name.

After the match against Spain, George. Wood underwent a urine test and there were no problems. He was subsequently named the best of the match. The official FIFA website commented on him: "Impeccable defence and attitude to the game, a last-minute win over favourites Spain, exemplify the full value of a midfield core. ”

Mortenson's new nickname for Wood also spread with his hysteria at the time of the goal, and now England fans are turning their tunes on George. Wood for "St. George". After the game, the streets and alleys of England, the taverns and squares resounded with a voice - "St. George bless England!" ”

The English press called George. Wood's groundbreaking shot was comparable to that of the 1990 World Cup in Italy. Pratt fired a late hook shot at Belgium. Pratt's goal saved England and helped them reach the quarter-finals two decades later. Wood's world wave helped the team reach the Final Four.

Cesc Fabregas looked frustrated after the game, but he did praise George in an interview. Wood's performance: "...... I tried to break his ball, but he was too fast. Maybe I should have fouled earlier...... That's football, a second of hesitation cost us the game...... He did a great job and deserved to win the race, so I wish him the best of luck. ”

Capello rarely praises a player individually, but this "law" is true to George. Wood didn't work. In an interview after the game, he was in high spirits, and he took the initiative to mention to reporters the man who was the hero of the game, George Brown. Wood: "He's a great player and I'm glad I have a player like that. Yes, it was a beautiful goal, but I value his performance in the first 119 minutes – it was perfect. He completely kept Xavi and Cesc Fabregas at bay and not conceding a goal is the best affirmation of his efforts......"

Bosque was calm after losing the World Cup and was asked about George. Wood replied: "Capello has a successful back three, but without George. Wood, the back three is not as good as people think. He is at the heart of the midfield defence...... Yes, I think he's the best defensive midfielder in world football in recent years. But maybe in a few years I'll have to get rid of the 'defensive' – that goal was beautiful. Beaten by a goal like this, I have nothing to say. ”

The excavation cultivated George. Wood's Donn was also the subject of media chase after the game. He wasn't at all surprised by Wood's success: "Because I knew he was going to make it." If Eriksen had been as smart as Capello, England might have gone further in Germany. If McLaren had been clear-headed, England would not have had to be spectators in the summer of 2008. You see, anyone who looks down on Wood ends badly. Do you think Nottingham Forest's two European Champions Cups and one league title in two years were won by luck? With 'St. George', what can't be done? With that, Don smirked. He really liked the new nickname that Mortenson gave Wood in a flash of inspiration during the live broadcast, which was much better than "monster", "android" and "soldier of the future".

So many people have a lot of people about George. Wood praised him, but what did he think?

"I'm very happy to be in the semi-finals. I'm just playing normally. He said, "I'm happy," but there was no obvious smile on his face.

"He's just playing normally, and I'd love to see what he's like to play extraordinarily......," the reporter who interviewed him said in the report.

In short, George. Wood established himself in world football in one fell swoop.

Before the start of the World Cup, all the way to the group stage. The English media are still debating whether to start Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard or George. Wood and Steven Gerrard were at loggerheads over the issue. There's people for Frank Lampard, there's people for George. Wood. The problem of "double virtues" in England has not been solved at all because of Capello's arrival, but the "double virtues" have become "three virtues", and there is a great tendency to intensify.

Well, all the arguments have died down overnight. Some media even said: "What Capello should consider is not to let George. The question of who started between Wood and Frank Lampard was with George. Who else did Wood start with? ”

It seems that St. George's World Cup journey has only just begun, and he still has time to write his own legend. Thanks to Wood's outstanding performance, England fans have even begun to dream of reaching the final and lifting the Hercules Gold Cup.

“…… We haven't come close to that trophy since 1966. Every World Cup we say it's the best England team in history. But in reality? But this World Cup may have a different ending. Capello is a defensive-minded coach, and in the World Series, defending means winning and winning. Now with 'St. George', we have the power to dream of more! ”

※※※But this is the end of the World Cup trip of "St. George".

In the semi-finals, they met the Italian team led by Lippi "Silver Fox".

It's a contest between two Italian managers and a direct dialogue between conservative and more conservative. In the end, Italy's reinforced concrete chain defense prevailed against England. In the face of Italy's contraction defence, England lacked the means and ideas to break the deadlock. Their lack of a playmaking midfielder exposed their weakness. Both Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard are more of a scoring midfielder and are slightly less organised in passing.

On the Italian side, Andrea Pirlo has put the team's midfield in order. Threatening England's goal with a defensive counter-attack, England did not dare to press on all fronts.

In the end, the game was dragged into a penalty shootout.

In fact, by the time it came to extra-time, England were exhausted – 120 minutes against Spain and 120 minutes against Italy...... Thinking of this, the minds of the English players began to crumble.

Only George. Wood and Steven Gerrard are the exceptions, with the two of them still running tirelessly in hopes of breaking the deadlock for their team. Wood was even more likely to repeat the trick and score from behind. In fact, in the final moments of the game, England fans and the media did exactly that...... But this time their opponent is not Spain, who have almost no defense in midfield, but Italy, the originator of defensive football.

George. Wood was heavily targeted, and the Italians preferred to foul early rather than give Wood a chance to cut in. There were a couple of occasions when Wood scrambled up to shoot and missed his head. Although England fans kept chanting: "St George bless England (_for_england)", this time "St George" did not appear again, he failed to bless England.

The game was dragged into a penalty shoot-out and the English had completely lost confidence – it wasn't the first time they had fallen in front of a penalty. Playing penalty kicks, almost everyone will have an inexplicable psychological shadow.

George. Wood was not dropped by Capello in the penalty line-up. Although his mental quality is very good, his shooting skills are really not reassuring.

There was no suspense in the result, the world's best goalkeeper Buffon saved a penalty and "scared" a penalty. Italy hit four penalties and England's fifth man didn't even play, and the game was over.

Don is not sad about this result, on the one hand, he is not a real Englishman, and he will not have sad and joyful emotions because of the fate of this team; On the other hand, when the game was dragged to extra time, he already saw the fate of England in his heart - his physical strength could not keep up, and he was not eliminated by Italy in extra time, which can only be said that the England team was too lucky, but the good luck made them run out in two extra times, and they were unable to recover in the penalty shootout.

George. Wood stood side by side with his teammates in the centre circle, watching his teammates step up to take the penalty one by one, delighted or frustrated. And he can only watch his World Cup come to an end.

He didn't get a minute to play in the World Cup in Germany, and even if England were eliminated by Portugal, he didn't have any special emotions other than Beckham's sadness. Four years later, South Africa was different, he was a regular player from the knockout rounds onwards and he really felt like he was part of the team. England deserved a lot of credit for reaching the last four and he deserved more than just a last-four finish...... He felt grief.

But he didn't cry. He didn't even remember crying in his life. He just stood there with the stick straight, and he didn't even bend down to vent his frustration. Because his back was leaning against a man, he couldn't move.

Frank Lampard, who came off the bench in extra-time, was the fifth penalty taker to come on, but before it was his turn, the game was over and he finally cried as he lay behind Wood. It's not that he's not strong enough, it's because he knows this could be his last World Cup – in 2010 he was 32 years old, and in four years he was 36 years old, and it was almost impossible for him to play in the World Cup again.

No matter how strong a man is, he can't withstand such a blow.

When David Beckham was substituted against Portugal and sat on the sidelines to hide his face and cry, some people criticized him for not forgetting to put on a show at all times. Those people just stand and talk without backache, and those who have never experienced such a thing will never understand how sad it is in their hearts.

When the fourth Italian player Grosso kicked the ball into Joe. As Hart guarded the gate, the Italian players next to him buzzed up, and half of the people in the stands cheered.

Wood looked at the ecstatic expressions of his opponents and clenched his fists. He now regrets that he couldn't have contributed a little more to the team in attack if his shots had been better...... Seize one of the three chances in extra-time, and I'm afraid I won't see the Italians with that look right now.

He hates to see his opponents laugh, and he likes nothing more than to see those who oppose him cry.

Shoot a little better! Attack a little better! I don't want to be a defensive midfielder! I don't want anyone else to decide how the game will go! I'm going to put ...... Your fate is in your own hands!

I'm going to be the real "St. George"!

※※※ Mortenson was silent for a long time, making people think that he was dead. Alan. Shearer shook his head helplessly. Don sighed. The first two were really sad that England had stopped in the last four, and Done was just sorry for George. Wood felt pity.

"Despite ...... The semi-finals have already achieved their pre-World Cup goal. But after watching the last game against Spain, I'm sure all the English were hoping for more, but ......," Mortensen finally got a little bit more alive, "that's football. It is not subject to our wishes. The lads in England are good...... Twenty-four-year-old George. Wood, twenty-three-year-old Allen. Lennon, eighteen-year-old Jack. Wilshere, nineteen-year-old Jack. Rodwell, twenty-two-year-old Micha. Richards, twenty-one-year-old Walcott, twenty-three-year-old Joe. Hart, twenty-four-year-old Wayne. Wayne Rooney, twenty-five-year-old Ashley. Young, twenty-six-year-old Bentley, twenty-six-year-old Stuart. Downing...... Looking at these young people, I think we can continue to look forward to four years from now. ”

※※※ In the third and fourth place finals played the day before the finals, George. Wood continued to start, while he was replaced by Frank Lampard.

In the third- and fourth-place finals, England's opponents were Brazil in the group stage.

Losing the semi-finals didn't hurt Wood badly, or that he became more combative...... Capello handed Kaka to him, and he faithfully carried out the tactical requirements of the manager on the field. Don't let Kaka easily get the ball, don't give him space to start a breakthrough, don't let him pass the football easily, even if he uses a foul to get a yellow card...... Completely freeze the core of the Brazilian team.

George. The duel between Wood and Kaka was a great sight to behold. Neither side took advantage, and each side won and lost.

In the end, England lost 1:2 to Brazil due to the overall strength of Brazil, and exhausted all their physical strength in two consecutive 120-minute games, and finally won the fourth place in this World Cup.

The final was played between Italy and Argentina after 90 minutes of intense battle. Argentina relied on two flashes from Messi and Sergio Aguero to defeat Italy 2-0. Won the Hercules Cup for the third time in history. After this battle, Messi was canonized, and the majority of media and fans called him a new generation of football kings. For a time, the name of "Messidona" was shouted all over the world.

"2010 is the year of Messi! At the club, he wore the number 10 shirt to lead Barcelona to the league title and the UEFA Champions Cup! In the national team, wearing the number 10 shirt, he finally became the king of the world! We are fortunate to be in South Africa to witness the birth of a new generation of football champions! ”

In the midst of almost all such praise, only one person sang the opposite.

Out of the psychology of having to fight against the whole world and disgusted by this phenomenon of everyone blindly following the hymns, Tony. After the final, Donn wrote in a column: "I admit Messi's three titles, but it would be too early to call him the 'new king'. Argentina can win the World Cup, and that's because they didn't meet England. Barcelona can win the European Cup, and that's because Nottingham Forest is not there! ”

Some people ridiculed Don for "not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes are sour".

Don hit back by saying that his team is back in Europe next season and that he will let everyone know who is right and who is wrong.

"I don't mind at all that UEFA draw my team with Barcelona, I can't even ask for it. Come on, 'unspoken rules' me! ”

Later, he was fined 20,000 euros by UEFA and given a stern warning because of the remarks that could lead the public to believe that there was a back-and-forth statement within UEFA...... He and Barcelona's beam is getting bigger and bigger.

lost money and fame, and became more and more enmity with his opponent. To outsiders, Tony. Done's idiotic actions are simply unreasonable.

But Donn thought he was just telling the truth...... If George. Wood faced Messi, who only had to pray that he wouldn't be kicked off in 90 minutes and do nothing else. As long as Donn is still the head coach of Forest, he will definitely do it. Where did Italy lose? lost because the marking of Messi was too "civilized". Unfortunately, as he got older, Gattuso's form declined too quickly. If Gattuso is in the prime of life, it's hard to say what the result of this final will be...... You must know that in the game, Gattuso is obviously unable to keep up with Messi's rhythm, and he is always easily left behind by Messi's speed, and it is too late to foul.

The new ball king? Messi is nowhere near the point where he can dominate everything. He still has a long way to go if he wants to be king.

At the very least, let my "St. George" test your fineness first.
