The first game of the knockout rounds was a lacklustre affair between Germany and Sweden, with a 2-0 win over Sweden, but it was all scored in the opening 12 minutes, with neither side having a decent chance for the rest of the game. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lahm appeared in Germany's starting lineup, but in this game he took on a heavy defensive task, which made him unable to step forward as often as in the group stage, and Sweden was sent off early, making the German team have the advantage overall, so Lahm performed well throughout the game.

The opposing Ljungberg failed to take even the slightest advantage from Lahm, and Ibrahimovic, who frequently leaned towards Lahm's side to get the ball, was repaired by Lahm several times and had to turn to pinch the soft persimmon on the right side of Germany, but the Swedes failed to score in the end.

If Germany won Sweden in the end despite not playing a good football, then Argentina's match against Mexico was a bad sight.

Pekerman is clearly determined to carry his stubbornness to the end, he has never trusted Messi and Palacio, who have achieved excellent results in Europe in the three group games, and he has even been on the bench instead of starting Aymar, who was at the heart of Liverpool. Rodriguez and Saviola and other cronies.

Three group stage bumps, but in the end it is the knockout round, whether Argentina should change the formation, it is no longer big news, everyone believes that even if Riquelme is not removed, as long as his position is withdrawn to the back, Palacio goes up to play the front midfield, Messi replaces Saviola as the striker, Argentina will perform better.

However, Pekerman still stubbornly chose to be stubborn in the game against Mexico, and God warned him with thrills, believing that if it were not for the last moment, Messi hit a shocking world wave at the edge of the penalty area, and the match between Argentina and Mexico would have gone to a penalty shootout.

Pekerman's trusted Saviola squandered at least five chances to score, including one from an empty goal, and Riquelme's unconvincing performance throughout the game. Rodriguez proved to the world that there is only a limit to his performances, and Aymar, who replaced him, was active.

The hapless Palacio was pressed on the bench throughout the game, and he was not even as good as Tevez, who came on as a substitute in the 74th minute, and he was completely left in the cold for the simple reason that before this game, he appealed to the media that Pekerman should change his line-up, and he was desperate to get a chance to play, only to wait for Pekerman's big hammer.

Messi is a good boy, Pekerman couldn't attack for a long time, and even Maradona in the stands scolded his mother, he hesitated for a while, and finally in the 89th minute, replaced Saviola with Messi, intending to try his luck, but no one expected that Messi's first shot after coming on the field hit a world wave.

It was this kick that put Argentina in the last 8 and also presented Pekerman with a problem.

Is it to be stubborn, or to be flexible?

Messi and Palacio, Aimar, Tevez and others have performed well as many substitutes in the group stage and against Mexico, especially Messi, who can play two wings and strikers, he is a versatile player in the frontcourt, no matter which position he is placed in, he can show his strength.

Messi has been tested by authoritative institutions before, and Messi is known as the fastest player in the world to swing his leg in short sprints, which makes him always able to make unpredictable technical moves in a narrow range, and even Maradona said that Messi is a gift from God to Argentina.

But it is such a superstar, but Pekerman refuses to use it, which has to be said to be a tyrannical thing.

There are many professionals who believe that Pekerman will eventually pay the price for his stubbornness.

…………………… In England's match against Ecuador, with Frank Lampard suspended, Eriksen made appropriate changes to England's line-up, returning them to England's original 442 formation.

Bayern's versatile Hargreaves was deployed at right wing-back, Terry and Curtis formed the central defenders, David Beckham, Michael? Johnson formed a two-man attack, Steven Gerrard and Theo Walcott split the flanks, while Ismael and Wayne Rooney formed the forward line.

The England starting line-up, which had a strong Red Rebels' presence, was lively from the start, notably Theo Walcott, who started the third game of the group stage and made a splash, passing and shooting to help England win over Sweden, and now Eriksen trusted him again to start.

Despite the 442 lineup, the Red Rebels didn't show any rustiness at all, and they still controlled the ball and controlled the game as before.

Beckham and Michael? Johnson's midfield formation has not become thin at all because of the combination of two organizational midfielders, on the contrary, the two have a tacit understanding and are good at running, making England's midfield very tenacious, and at the same time full of mobility, Ecuador is completely led by the nose and can not do anything.

Ismael and Wayne Rooney partnered up front, and the two players each scored a goal, and the media also gave great praise to this set of strikers, believing that Ismael's appearance completely liberated Rooney.

You know, long before the World Cup, the call for Rooney's release was very big, and with Owen's transformation, after many warm-up games, it has been proved that he is not the right partner for Rooney, and Ismael is a good filler of this vacancy.

However, Ismail is only 19 years old and lacks experience, and Eriksen did not dare to rush to entrust him with heavy responsibilities, until after the tempering of the group stage, Ismail showed his strength and won Eriksen's trust, and finally started in this game and achieved good results.

After England's 2-0 win over Ecuador, Portugal stumbled but eventually beat the Netherlands 0-1 thanks to Ronaldo's goal, and Robben was unable to help the Netherlands salvage the defeat despite his excellent performance.

Italy defeated Australia 1-0, De Rossi at the most critical moment, in the 95th minute, used a long-range shot from outside the penalty area to penetrate the Australian goal, scoring the only goal of the game for Italy and helping Italy advance to the quarterfinals.

Brazil beat Ghana 3-0, and Kaka didn't show any face when facing team-mate Essien, scoring two goals in a row and assisting his friend Ronaldo to beat Ghana 3-0.

In the last game of the round of 16, Spain's match against France can be said to be full of twists and turns, Villa took the lead in breaking the deadlock for Spain, but at the critical moment, Ribery stepped up and pulled the score back for France in the 41st minute, which was also his first goal in the World Cup.

In the second half, the French team improved their performance, Franck Ribery first assisted Zinedine Zidane to score a winning goal, and then in the 78th minute, he forced a breakthrough in the middle and scored a brace to help France beat Spain 1-3.

After this match, Ribery's name as a scarred warrior became famous all over the world, and Aragonés was full of praise for him, believing that his team had lost to Ribery, and in time, he would have achieved the achievement of not losing to Zidane.

…………………… In the first match of the round of 8, Germany played Argentina, Ayala took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to score a goal for Argentina before the end of the first half, but then the German team launched a crazy counterattack.

In the 80th minute, after a high-speed breakthrough on the left side, Lahm went directly to the bottom line and crossed, Klose did not waste this golden opportunity again, grabbed a point in the penalty area, and scored with a header, 1:1!

After that, the two sides played very closely, especially Argentina, Pekerman wanted to repeat the previous miracle at a critical moment, replacing Riquelme with Palacio and Messi respectively, and Saviola, who wasted many opportunities, but this time the balance of Lady Luck was not in favor of Argentina, but in favor of Germany.

In the 114th minute, Lahm made a tackle after a sudden attack into the penalty area, the ball changed direction after touching the ground, and turned directly into Argentina's goal, 2:1, the German team reversed Argentina to enter the top 4!

After this game, the Argentine Football Association announced Pekerman's resignation for the first time, on the grounds that Pekerman had made a huge mistake in the use of troops, especially in the use of players, giving up Palacio and Messi, the two popular stars, and choosing Riquelme and Saviola, which in itself is unbelievable.

Football has always been based on strength, and if Pekerman can lead Argentina further, then his move to abandon Palacio and Messi will be seen as an authority to establish a surname, and if it is not, it will be a crime of his failure.

To put it bluntly, football is such a thing as winning and losing!

On the second day of Germany's defeat of Argentina, Italy defeated Ukraine 3-0, De Rossi played the whole game again, his performance was decent, it should be said that he completed his task completely, Luka? Toney scored twice for Italy and Zambrotta scored the first goal.

But it was the match between England and Portugal that really caught everyone's attention.

About this game, Xiao Yu's deepest memory is undoubtedly Rooney's red card, even if he has traveled over for many years, but he still remembers it deeply, so he found Beckham before the game and mentioned it vaguely, but when it came to the game, he found that everything was messed up.

When the game reached the 62nd minute, the score on the field was still 0:0, Xiao Xiaoluo in a retreat defense, stubbornly entangled Rooney, these two players are no longer Xiao Yu's teammates in the memory of his previous life, but with the emergence of the Red Rebels, the relationship between the Red Rebels and Manchester United has been continued, and their relationship has completely become mortal enemies.

The two young talents who have become famous in the UK have long been repeatedly compared by countless British media, making both sides desperately want to prove that they are better than each other in this game, so Rooney desperately squeezed Xiao Xiao Luo with his body, and the latter took advantage of a chance to fall to the ground and tackled Rooney's ball, but even Rooney tripped and fell to the ground.

What happened next was a surprise, after Rooney fell to the ground, he stood up, young and impulsive, he was unwilling, and secretly stepped on Xiao Xiaoluo's ankle, and the latter immediately screamed with a very painful expression.

It is difficult to judge whether Rooney is using force or not, and it is difficult to judge whether Rooney is acting, but when the referee heard the sound, he immediately stopped the game, trotted over, showed a red card to the worried Rooney, and sent him off the field.

The latter roared and pointed at Xiao Xiaoluo, signaling that the Portuguese were acting, but the referee ignored his argument at all, just now he could clearly see Rooney's stampede in the distance, which was a foul in itself, especially when the opponent was off the ball, which was even worse.

Xiao Xiao Luo stood up with the support of Carvalho and others, jumped on the spot a few times, showing that he had no problem, Rooney, who was entangled with the referee from a distance, saw it, and immediately rushed up to fight with him, but fortunately, Beckham, who had been prepared next to him, pulled him to death.

Rooney's move not only made England completely passive, but also made him likely to receive additional penalties from FIFA after the game, but what was even more difficult for England to accept was that Ronaldo scored the winning goal in the last minute of the game, and the way of scoring was also very controversial, he scored the ball with his hands at an angle that the referee could not see.

The shadow of the Hand of God is coming, coupled with Rooney's red card, the two major controversies immediately put Xiao Xiao Luo in the limelight after the game, and all the British media condemned him in every way, especially Rooney, who said that he would wait for Xiao Xiao Luo in the Premier League, and he couldn't wait to tear the other party in half.

The whole of Britain regards Xiao Xiao Luo as the public enemy of the whole people, thinking that he directly caused England to be eliminated, he is the enemy of all British fans, they even shouted slogans, if Xiao Luo dares to return to the UK, they will even destroy him at all costs, and it is said that some people have sent him death threats.

As the owner of Xiao Xiao Luo, the Red Rebels made it clear as soon as possible after the game that the club will not reply to everything that happened in the World Cup, Xiao Xiao Luo is a player of the Red Rebels, he still has a contract with the club, and the club will do everything possible to protect him and support him, and I believe he will continue to play for the Red Rebels.

'He's a big part of the Red Rebels and I'm sure he'll be able to take the pressure and come back to the team!' Mourinho was also the first to give support and encouragement to his compatriots.

And including Beckham, Terry, Curtis and others also said that they received an apology text message from Xiao Xiao Luo as soon as the game ended, and they all understood Xiao Xiao Luo's position of serving the country and each of them was his master, although the Hand of God did not intend to do so, they also expressed their understanding of Xiao Xiao Luo and hoped that he could continue to stay in the Red Rebels.

Although the players all understood this, the British media still did not give up, and soon set off a storm of trial Xiao Xiao Luo, looking at that posture, it is simply that if Xiao Xiao Luo is not expelled from England, they will not give up!
