Can Messi usher in his first World Cup goal in this game?

This is a key point of attention.

What is interesting is that the two coaches have faced each other on the pitch, Xu Dingmao in the '86 World Cup against Maradona, and Argentina won 3-1 in Mexico City.

Maybe the two took over the feud in the 86 World Cup, and the two even scolded each other when the game was going on after the game started!

After the start of the game, Argentina showed more aggressiveness, and their attacking group frequently put pressure on the South Korean goal. If Spain and England are known for their midfield, Argentina are known for their attacking clusters, and they play with fluid attacks.

The Koreans had to foul their fluid attacking rhythm to interrupt their attacking rhythm, but they struggled from set-pieces.

In the sixteenth minute, Wu Fanxi pushed down Di Maria, Argentina won a free kick on the left, Maxi? Rodriguez ran to cover, Messi crossed with his left foot, Park Ji-sung in front of him and Demichelis who inserted it didn't hit the ball, and Park Joo-young knocked the ball into the goal with his right calf on the line of the small penalty area in the middle!

Oolong!

Argentina leads 1-0!

After taking the lead, the Pampas Eagles continued to strike at the Koreans.

Thirty-third minute, Maxi? Rodriguez combined with Messi's free-kick tactics near the corner flag area, Messi passed back, Maxi? Rodriguez takes the ball to the back post and Higuain grabs a header from six yards in front of goal!

Football hits the net!

Two to zero!

But the Taiji Tigers didn't give up, and in first-half stoppage time, the tenacious South Koreans were rewarded. Zheng Chenglong cleared the penalty area with a big foot, Park Joo-young fought with Heinze on the right side of the front field to the middle, Demichelis made a mistake in stopping the ball, and Li Qinglong broke the ball and burst into the penalty area!

The South Korean midfielder bounced into the net with the outside of his right foot 13 meters from the goal!

One to two!

Towards the end of the first half, the South Koreans narrowed the gap and kept their hopes alive.

After a fifteen-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and South Korea missed a golden opportunity in the thirteenth minute of the second half!

Lee Qinglong broke the ball on the right side of the backfield to instigate a counterattack, and rushed forward at high speed after receiving a return pass from Yeon Ki-hoon. The outside instep was cleverly tucked into the unmarked Yeon Ki-hoon on the right, and Yeon Ki-hoon stopped the ball with his right foot and fired a left-footed shot wide of the near post eleven meters from the goal!

Argentina, who escaped the catastrophe, did not let the victory slip away, and in the 21st minute of the second half, Messi went straight forward in the middle. Aguero knocked to the left in time!

Messi burst into the left side of the penalty area and volleyed with his left foot from a tight angle ten meters from the goal!

South Korean goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong struggled to keep the ball out with his feet, and Barca's smart-witted follow-up shot hit the bottom of the near post. Higuain, who is suspected of offside, pushes the empty goal with his left foot two meters in front of the goal!

Three to one!

In the 35th minute of the second half, Messi took a free kick from the backfield, and Aguero burst into the front with the ball and handed it to Higuain. Higuain knocked Messi horizontally, Messi rubbed to the left side of the penalty area, and Aguero crossed the middle with the outside of his right foot!

Wonderful story!

Gonzalo Higuain headed the ball four meters in front of the goal, and the ball flew into the goal from the bottom left corner!

The Real Madrid striker completes his hat-trick and Argentina seals the win!

As the referee's whistle sounded, the game ended, and Argentina came out of the group ahead of schedule with a strong 4-1 victory over South Korea!

The Pampas Eagles become the first team to successfully qualify for the knockout round!

Messi did not score in this game though. But there are at least two goals that are directly related to him. Maradona said after the game: "We are getting better, Messi is very good, all he lacks is a goal! ”

A reporter asked a difficult question: "Messi, Ronaldo, Wang, which of the three do you think is the best and who is the strongest?" ”

The football king raised his eyebrows and said: "Messi's performance is definitely better than Ronaldo, and he will get better and better." Wang's performance was surprising, but no one can guarantee that he will continue to be in this form. ”

"When it comes to who is the strongest, of course Messi is the strongest, in my opinion. He's the best player in the world! ”

The media interpreted what Maradona said: Wang Rui's performance is better than Messi's now, but Wang Rui can't always maintain his current state, Messi will definitely surpass him.

It stands to reason that Wang Rui should be happy to be praised by the king of the ball. But he was not happy, because Maradona was questioning him.

He decided to speak with facts.

It is the facts that shatter the doubts of Maradona, the king of the ball.

England's second opponent, Algeria, is not very strong, but the European media generally believe that Algeria is very likely to cause an upset and win against England, which is mired in "infighting".

With France in front, will England be able to escape its fate?

And that twelve-minute run is bound to cause problems for England physically, once England can't establish an advantage in the first half. Algeria will surprise the world.

Spain and France can cause upsets, why can't England?

Marca analysed that England's squad could become a four-one-one, and according to the Italian's hard-line style, Rooney and Peter will be blocked.

At 4 p.m. on June 18, Group C matches kicked off at the Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg, with the United States and Slovenia taking place.

The United States team, which had no way out, frequently put pressure on the Slovenian goal at the beginning of the game. Dempsey, who was blown up by the Wolves twins in the last game, was the focus of attention at the start of the game, elbowing his opponent as he battled with Lyubiyankic.

Players from both sides clashed on the field and almost caused a big fight.

However, it was not the United States that scored the first goal, but Slovenia. In the thirteenth minute, Radosavlevic passed, and Bilsa shot with his left foot 25 meters from the goal, and the football drew a wonderful arc in the air!

The ball flew into the net from the top left corner of the goal, and Howard didn't react!

1 to 0!

After taking the lead, Slovenia's morale was boosted, and they had to take advantage of the victory to chase after them, frequently threatening the United States goal with set-pieces in front. The U.S. team stubbornly withstood the opponent's attack and began to strengthen the offensive.

However, towards the end of the first half, Slovenia dealt another heavy blow to the United States. In the 42nd minute, Novakovic made a direct pass, Ljubiyankic entered the penalty area, got a single knife, and pushed a shot from 12 meters away from the goal on the left rib of the penalty area!

Football hits the net!

Two to zero!

The U.S. team is in a desperate situation!

U.S. coach Bradley made two substitutions at the start of the second half, with Ferham Hubble and Edu coming off the bench. The tenacious American gave the Slovenian a blow to the head just starting in the second half.

In the third minute of the second half, Cherundolo passed, Cesar intercepted the error, and Donovan burst into the right side of the penalty area and shot into the upper corner of the net at a small angle!

The score became 1-2, and the U.S. team narrowed the difference!

This goal boosted the morale of the American team, and they saw the hope of an equalizer!

In the 37th minute of the second half, the United States launched a quick counterattack from the back, Cherundolo made a long pass, Altidore's header was ferried, and the unguarded Bradley stabbed the goal ten meters from the goal!

Two to two!

The Americans equalized!

In the remaining minutes, the United States launched a frantic attack on Slovenia, and in the 86th minute, Donovan crossed a free kick from the right and Edu pushed the goal!

American fans are going crazy, their team scored three goals in a row and completed a strong comeback!

However, the referee's whistle blew at this moment, and he ruled that Edu had committed a foul before stabbing the shot!

The two sides had to accept a 2-2 scoreline, and Slovenia failed to fulfill their desire to qualify for the first round early, and the U.S. team's fate hung by a thread.

With this game over, the eyes of the world have shifted to the England team, can this team that has been talking about a lot of topics qualify early?

Will they be defeated by Algeria and cause an upset, as the media says? (To be continued.) )
