The England team has been talking about it since they came to South Africa, and a few days ago, the news of "infighting" broke out, which made the English media depressed.

Spain's unexpected defeat gave the English media an outlet, and they lashed out at Spain!

The Daily Mirror said: Spain has ushered in a "beautiful" start, and they are invincible to find something to do for themselves, and without pressure, they will increase the pressure on themselves!

The Times said: "God, can you believe it, Spain actually lost, they lost not to Brazil, not to Germany, but to Switzerland!"

Could it be that they think it's too easy to qualify from the group, so they add a little bit of difficulty to themselves? ”

The media of both countries look down on each other, both believe that their league is the number one league in the world, and they will take every opportunity to ridicule each other.

The Argentine media also took the opportunity to ridicule the Spanish team, "The reason why the Spanish national team lost the first game of the World Cup is because Xavi and Iniesta do not have Messi." Messi is Barcelona's number one star, and Spain's defeat is like Barcelona's lack of Messi! ”

At the end of the first round, except for Spain, the performance of the other strong teams was acceptable, among which the German team showed a formidable quality, and they almost crushed their opponents.

There are pros and cons to everything, and after the leak incident, the England team chose to unite under the strong media opinion.

This was a bonus.

They are actively preparing for the second round of the group under the leadership of Fabio Capello, and if they win Algeria, they will qualify early and complete the first stage goal.

At half past eight o'clock in the evening of the 16th, the second round of matches began, and the host South African team welcomed the Uruguayan team at the Loftos Stadium in Pretoria. It's a must-win game for both sides, and whoever loses the game is likely to be kicked out early.

Both sides started the game very aggressively, in the 24th minute of the first half. Uruguay launched an attack, Perez crossed diagonally from the right, Forlan turned and volleyed with his right foot from 30 meters in front of the goal, and the football rubbed Mokona's back into a strange hanging shot!

South Africa goalkeeper Kune couldn't do anything about it, and the ball flew over his head and into the crossbar!

1 to 0!

In the 21st minute of the second half, South Africa was hit again, Suarez's low shot from a small angle on the left was blocked by Cuone, Perez took the ball on the right side of the penalty area and was tackled by a defender, and Forlan volleyed from 20 meters in front of the goal. Cavani stretched out his left foot halfway through and didn't stop the ball, and Suarez was tackled to the ground by South African goalkeeper Kune when he picked up the ball on the left!

Referee Busaka blew for a penalty and sent Cunet straight away!

Uruguay's top brand Forlan took the shot, and with a right-footed volley, the football went into the net!

Two to zero!

Hosts South Africa had the heart to launch a counter-attack, but due to the difference in quality and the mentality of being too impatient, they simply could not threaten the Uruguayan goal. The game went into stoppage time and when everyone thought it would end 2-0, Uruguay surprised again.

Fifth minute of stoppage time. Forlan's precise 40-metre diagonal pass from the left flank, Suarez unloaded the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and then volleyed the ball to the back post, where Alvaro Pereira headed the ball into the empty net from four meters in front of the goal!

Three to zero!

Uruguay beat hosts South Africa. It has laid a solid foundation for qualifying from the group.

The other match in Group A is scheduled for mid-night on the evening of the 17th, with last year's runner-up France taking on Mexico. Once the match began, Mexico played more aggressively than the French team, which had problems in the dressing room.

Neither side was able to find the back of the net in the first half. After the start of the second half, the two sides stepped up their offensive and a draw was unacceptable to both sides.

Nineteenth minute of the second half. Mexico launched an attack, there was a problem with the French back line, Marquez made a direct pass, Abidal failed to make an offside position, and Manchester United's new signing Hernandez shook Lloris and scored an empty goal!

1 to 0!

After falling behind, France stepped up their attack, but they were not at their best, and they returned again and again, while Mexico seized the opportunity to fight back.

In the 24th minute of the second half, Mexico dealt France a heavy blow, Barella burst into the box and Abidal tripped him in a hurry. The referee did not hesitate to blow for the penalty.

Blanco fired a low shot and the ball flew into the net from the bottom left corner of the goal!

Two to zero!

French fans don't believe their eyes at all, what's wrong with their team?

Is it true that the locker room contradictions that the media are talking about?

Since Spain's unexpected defeat to Switzerland, the second upset of this World Cup appeared, Mexico defeated the runner-up of the previous tournament 2-0 with two goals in the second half, and the chance of qualifying is in sight, while France's chances of qualifying are slim!

At 4 p.m. on the 17th, the second round of Group B began, with Nigeria playing against Greece.

The first to break the deadlock was Nigeria, in the 16th minute of the first half, Uche took a free kick from 36 yards from the left side of the goal and crossed diagonally in front of goal. Tsovas pounced on his right, but the ball bounced off his left and into the far corner!

1 to 0!

However, Nigeria paid the price for their impulsiveness, and in the 33rd minute, Torosidis and Kaita battled on the touchline, with Torosidis holding the ball after it went out of bounds and making a gesture to throw the ball at the opponent. The football did not actually touch Caita, who was enraged, kicked the opponent with the sole of his shoe, and the referee Luiz did not show mercy and sent him off with a red card!

Greece took advantage of their numerical advantage to launch a fierce attack on Nigeria, and towards the end of the first half, they equalised.

In the forty-fourth minute of the first half, Kachulanis made a return on the right side of the penalty area, and Salpingidis fired a right-footed volley on the line of the penalty area, and the football hit Haruna's heel and suddenly changed the line, flying from the turf and hoisting into the upper left corner!

One-to-one!

At the start of the second half, Nigeria wisely adopted the tactics of defending and counterattacking.

In the fourteenth minute of the second half, Nigeria quickly counterattacked to form a two-on-one, Obasi was divided to the left side, and Yakubu pushed a shot from 14 meters in front of the goal!

Greek goalkeeper Tsovas bravely sealed the football, and Nigerian striker Obasi followed up on the right side to shoot!

Who would have thought that he would actually hit an empty goal from five meters from the goal!

Nigeria missed a golden chance to take the lead again and they were penalized.

In the twenty-sixth minute of the second half, Greece won a corner kick, Karagunis drove a corner kick from the right side and was pushed out, Jollis took the ball and shook the defender, and shot low 25 meters in front of the goal!

Nigerian goalkeeper Nyeyama struggled to make a save, the ball bounced back into the box, and Torosidis stabbed a right-footed shot into the net from five meters in front of goal!

Two to one!

Almost the same chance, Nigeria couldn't grasp it, while Greece seized the opportunity and reversed the score!

Greece, the champion of the Euro 04 Championship, scored two goals in a row after conceding one goal first, and won the reversal with a score of 2-1.

At half past one in the afternoon of the 17th, Argentina ushered in the challenge of the South Korean team. Both teams won their first round of fixtures, and this game is, in a sense, a battle for the top spot in the group. (To be continued.) )
