Volume 4 World Cup Legends Chapter 90 The Best Half Zone

With Italy's tragic exit, the group stage officially came to an end, and the 16 teams that qualified were also revealed, Group A: Brazil, France, Group B: England, Greece; Group C: Argentina, Nigeria:. , quanBEn, group: Chile USA; Group E: Germany, Sweden; Group F: China, Paraguay; Group G: Netherlands, Uruguay: Group U: Ghana, Russia.

Among them, the American team won a big victory, and Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Paraguay all qualified. For the first time ever, it also meant that the Americas began to rise strongly at the World Cup.

Asian teams were completely defeated, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Australia were all out, and only the "China" national team unexpectedly qualified for Asian football to save a point of face.

Africa's results have been solid, with two teams reaching the round of 16 this time, with two old powerhouses from Ghana and Nigeria defending their honours.

Although Mexico in Latin America was unexpectedly out, Uncle Sam, who loves basketball, has emerged in football. A spark was preserved for Latin America.

Although Portugal, Spain, and Italy were upset, the seven teams still kept the World Cup in Europe and the United States.

After the group stage, FIFA and the South Africa World Cup Organizing Committee announced the best team for the group stage (442)

Best goalkeeper: Paraguay's high interception blocked Spain's numerous shots to knock them out of the round of 16, and his performances in the group stage were world-class.

Best left-back: Marcelo of the West.

The world's No. 1 left-back, Brazil's defensive stalwart has experienced youthful frizz. Marcelo was perfect at both the offensive and defensive ends and was an important force for Brazil to move forward.

Best centre-back: Spain's Gerard Pique and Greece's Hampardopoulos Despite Spain's poor performance in the group stage and the team failed to qualify, the world's No. 1 centre-back Pique showed his quality and won a penalty for Spain. Spain's exit is not to blame on the back line. It's their midfield that's wrong.

Greece were able to reach the last 16 thanks to their centre-back and captain Papadopoulos. Without his outstanding performance, the Greek team would have gone home after three games.

Best right back: Li Huan of the Chinese national team is the best defender in the world, a goal machine with excellent offense and defense, scored 6 goals in three group games, ranked first in the World Cup scorer list, and led the Chinese national team to the top 16 with his own strength, worthy of the title of the first person in the world today.

Best midfielder: Mesut Ozil, Kaka, Nasri, Muntari The Brazilian midfielder is both offensive and defensive, which is one of the driving forces for Brazil to move forward, but he is now more of a playmaker, and his shooting ability has not yet been able to show.

German midfielder Mesut Ozilme's goals and passes were key to Germany's resilience in the face of weaker teams.

In the three group games, Muntari Smith used two goals and aggressive scrambling to stand up the hardest waist for the Afrika Korps.

Nasri was the engine of the French team, he was the hero of the French team's draw with Brazil, and he is now the French team's Zinedine Zidane.

Best striker: Messi, second in the list of goalscorers, Pato, who scored four goals, was elected undisputed, although there were only two goals, but Messi's role cannot be measured by goals, he actually has a considerable amount of time to act as a playmaker and passer.

Half of the top 32 of the World Cup went home, and half stayed to continue to move towards the one and only throne. Those who are out of the game are not necessarily poor, and those who remain are not necessarily strong, many times it is the team's character, style of play, state and accidental factors that determine such a result. If we had played again, maybe the team that qualified would have been completely different. However, the world does not assume that no one can step into the same river twice. Fortunately, the World Cup is held once every four years, and this time I missed it, and next time I have a chance to make up for it. For a team, as long as they keep working hard and summing up, "they will definitely reach the top of the World Cup."

Sending off the old outers, Brazil did not calm down because of the lack of half of the team, but became more lively because of the arrival of the knockout round, everyone understands that the real World Cup feast has just begun at this time, and the group stage is just a dessert before the feast.

According to FIFA's sub-divisions, the first place in the four groups of AEG will be in the same half as the second place in the four groups of BDFH, and the other half will include the first place in the four groups of BDFH and the second place in the four groups of AEG. After the old powerhouse is freshly released, the situation between them is clear at a glance.

The top half of the zone is: a1 Brazil VSB2 Greece 1 Argentina VSD2 USA E1 Germany VSF2 Paraguay G1 Netherlands VSH2 Russia The bottom half of the zone is: A2 France vSBI England 2 Nigeria VSD1 Chile E2 Sweden VSF1 China Team G2 Uruguay VSH1 Ghana The top half of the quarterfinals is the matchup situation is: A1 Brazil and B2 Greece winner VS1 Argentina and D2 USA winner E1 Germany and F2 Paraguay winner VSG1 Netherlands and H2 Russia winner The second half of the quarterfinals is matchup: A2 France and B1 England Winner VS2 Nigeria and D1 Chile Winner E2 Sweden and F1 Winner VSG2 Uruguay and H1 Ghana Winner From the current situation, the giants in the first half of the zone are obviously higher than the bottom half, the Brazilian team must enter the final quarterfinals against the old enemy Argentina, and the semifinals face the winners of Germany and the Netherlands without an upset, it can be said that every promotion will be very difficult.

The winners of England and France in the bottom half of the table have no opponents except for Uruguay, who are slightly stronger, and the winner between them is almost certain to reach the final. However, the Brazilian media and fans did not complain, because the reason for this situation is not that Brazil does not have a status in FIFA. FIFA does not give face to the hosts, but because there are too many upsets in this World Cup. Italy, Spain were eliminated. Otherwise, the lower half would never be so weak. In fact, Brazil still did a lot of behind-the-scenes work in this World Cup, they tried to avoid the most powerful Spain, as well as the difficult Italy, but they didn't expect that they didn't even qualify from the group. If Brazil can anticipate such a situation, it is better to lose to France in the group stage and finish second in the group.

Brazil's "Globo Sports" believes that since it is impossible to avoid all the strong teams in order to win the championship, the German team is the defeat of Brazil, and the Dutch team is not too difficult for the Brazilian team to beat them. With tens of millions of Brazilian fans behind them, the Brazilian team should have a lot of confidence in themselves.

The newspaper Folha de São Paulo also believes that it is also a good thing for the Brazilian team to meet strong teams, so that the Brazilian team can mobilize all their form and reach the peak in the final. At the same time, Brazilian journalists also hope to beat France in the final to avenge last year's World Cup.

After the group stage, England and France were the happiest of course, and the English media ambitiously put forward the slogan of winning the World Cup after the year of Mom.

The Sun believes England have a golden opportunity if they beat France. Basically, they can easily reach the final, while Brazil, the favourites in the top half, will have to overcome two hurdles to reach the final. After reaching the final, they must have been physically and mentally exhausted, injured and with many red and yellow cards, and their host advantage was only offset a lot. England must have a 52 per cent chance of winning against a conservative Fabio Capello side whose French newspaper Les Corps is happier than England, who believe that Brazil have a lot of difficulties ahead of them. However, with the advantage of the hosts, they will definitely reach the final, and as long as France can beat England to reach the final, it is not impossible to beat their defeated Brazil again to win the title.

Not only are they happy, but the old powerhouse Uruguay are also very excited, they beat Brazil at home in the 50s to win the World Cup, they beat Argentina at home in 2011 to win the Copa America, and now they have such a good semi-finish. The Uruguayans' ambition to win the World Cup three times is also like spring grass that cannot be stopped.

The Uruguayan newspaper El Nacional believes that this is God's arrangement. They finished third in the last World Cup and this World Cup is clearly set to win the title. Well, thinking about their opponents in the quarter-finals Ghana and their opponents in the quarter-finals Sweden (the Chinese team was directly ignored by them), the Uruguayans were so happy that they even slept and dreamed of winning the championship.

In fact, not only England, Uruguay, and France, the three giants who have won the World Cup, are inflated in confidence and shouting to enter the finals, but even Sweden, Ghana, China, Chile, and Nigeria are also ready to move. All said that it is a good opportunity to move forward one step further.

Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic said: "We have a good chance, I think Sweden can come out of China, Uruguay and Ghana to reach the last four, if we are lucky enough to meet England, we have a psychological advantage and it is not a dream to reach the final." ”。

Ghana midfielder Essien said Africa must break through the quarter-finals and Ghana should be able to take on the responsibility.

Li Huan, the head coach and left-back of the Chinese national team, also said after the game that it was time to consider the quarterfinals and was assigned to the best half. As long as the Chinese national team works as hard as the group stage, the quarterfinals and semifinals are not dreams.

Immediately after the group stage, they entered the knockout round, and the old road was strong and continued to fight for the championship. The murderous and bloody aura in the air is stronger than in the group stage.
