With a 3-0 win over South Korea, the French team continued to move forward, and in addition to being happy, French fans couldn't help but start worrying again. Some fans sighed: Tang is always injured every time he competes, which seems to be a rule.

At the season press conference, Heo Ding-mao admitted the gap with the French team: "No matter in terms of experience and overall strength, there is a gap between the Korean team and France. In addition, judging from the table of key players, there is also a gap between the two teams. ”

'Tonight we didn't have a good backline, we made three mistakes, we were taken advantage of those three chances, we scored three goals, that's the difference in experience. It also shows that the French team is better than us in taking chances. ”

"Tang Jue's ability to grasp opportunities is shocking, he only scored two goals in his only two shots on goal, and it is difficult to fight against him in this state."

'Of course, we had worse luck than France, Park Joo-young almost scored from a free-kick in the opening four minutes, and if that goal had gone in, tonight's game would have been different.

"We've done our best, unfortunately there are a few, but overall I'm satisfied. The World Cup is over, and I can finally go home and rest for a few days. ”

Domenech was pleased with the result: "South Korea played very well, they threatened our goal many times. Our backline withstood the test, they didn't give too many shots on goal. I'm happy with the competition and I'm happy with the process. ”

"Don is good, really good, he has lived up to the love that the fans have for him, he has repaid his supporters with his good example. It's hard for him. It's really hard, you can all see, he's got a lot of defenders around him at all times. ”

'But he still scored two goals and laid the foundation for our victory. I'm so proud of him! ”

'At the same time, he touched me and was able to score two goals despite being injured. At that time, I could feel a sense of responsibility from him. He considers himself the team's leading scorer and has to score even if he is injured. ”

"He did it!"

The atmosphere at the venue was very quiet, and the reporters watched the game from the sidelines. Tang Jue finished his second ball when he fell to the ground. They were touched in their hearts.

Domenech adjusted his emotions and continued: "Henry is also very good, some people say that he is old, he can't run, and he is less threatening. Tonight. Once again, he told the world. He's not old yet. He can still threaten the opposition goal. ”

"One goal, one assist, he's the hero of our promotion!"

Perhaps it was Tang Jue's injury that distracted the French coach. He answered a few questions and left the press conference.

At this time, the outside world is most concerned about Tang Jue's injury, but for some reason, the French team has not announced his situation for a long time, which makes the outside world talk about it. Some say that he is seriously injured and may say goodbye to this World Cup; Some people say that the French team is engaged in smoke bombs again, and Tang Jue's injuries may not be serious, and the purpose is to give their opponents a "surprise!" ”。

The next day, major media commented on it, and the headline of the team newspaper was: 100% Hit Rate, Don scored twice to help France win!

The headline of the Milan sports newspaper reads: The tough Don beats South Korea, and France advances to the quarterfinals first!

The headline of the Marca newspaper reads: Efficient defeat of tenacity, France wins and advances to the quarterfinals!

They said: "Don only had two shots on goal in the game, and he showed his efficiency at Real Madrid to the fullest, scoring two goals in two shots. Now this French team is, in a sense, a Real Madrid. Don, Thierry, Thuram and Benzema are current Real Madrid players, and Ribery and Makelele are former Real Madrid players. ”

"Almost all of France's attacking line comes from Real Madrid, and they know the essence of efficiency. The victory of the French team is, in a sense, the victory of Real Madrid. If you look at it from this point of view, the French team is extremely strong, because Real Madrid has achieved three consecutive Champions League titles in history! ”

The article caused quite a stir, with someone saying: "According to this statement, the match between France and Spain is a duel between Real Madrid and Barcelona." With Real Madrid's strength in the past few seasons, then the French team will definitely win the final victory. ”

The German newspaper Bild focused on Tang Jue's injury: "After Tang completed his second ball last night, he was carried directly out of the court on a stretcher, and according to the observation at the scene, his injury should be very serious. However, our correspondent conducted interviews in South Africa, and many French fans were convinced that their captain would return soon.

This optimism was also present within the French team, where it was said that after the match, there was less pessimism in the French dressing room than there was much more pessimism, and they also had a small celebration.

Analyzing the reason behind it, it is that Tang has unexpectedly appeared on the field many times when people thought he was going to lie in a hospital bed for a long time. ”

Overall, the media praised Tang Jue, believing that he was the key to the victory of the French team. At this time, the anti-Tang League did not come out to ridicule and ridicule, because they could not find a place to ridicule, but Tang Jue's two goals slapped them.

There has been criticism of the South Korean team in South Korea, and South Korea's famous "JoongAng Ilbo" commented: It is another problem at the back. In the first half, France's number one star took advantage of the problems of the South Korean defenders to score two goals, which directly put the South Korean team in a desperate situation. In the second half, Thierry Henry once again took advantage of the problems in the South Korean backline and scored with ease.

In the final game against Nigeria in the group stage, the first goal conceded was because two central defenders leaked, allowing the opponent to easily push and score.

Last night, the French team taught the South Korean team a good lesson, if they want to continue in the knockout round, they must make fewer mistakes!

There is nothing to say, South Korea will have to build a team with a balanced attack and defense if they are to go one step further in the World Cup.

……

France's match against South Korea kicked off the knockout round, and over the next few days, 14 other teams battled each other to determine the list of those who advanced to the quarterfinals.

At half past eight o'clock in the evening of the 26th, the second game of the World Cup quarterfinals was contested at the Royal Bafken Stadium in Rustenburg. The United States beat their opponents in stoppage time in the final round of the group. They will compete with Ghana, the African seed, for a ticket to the quarterfinals.

The two teams met in the final round of the group stage of the last World Cup, with the United States returning home after a 2-1 defeat to Ghana, with a total of 12 players from both sides in the squad.

In the last game, the United States beat Algeria in stoppage time to win the group, but the United States has never won consecutive World Cup games after two wins in the first group stage in 1930. The U.S. has a 1-3 record in four knockout games, with the only win coming in the 2002 quarterfinals against Mexico.

Ghana are the second African team to reach the knockout rounds for the second time in a row and will be playing for African football.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially begins!

Ghana gave the United States a blow at the beginning of the game, in the fifth minute. Asamoah pressed Clarke in midfield to poke to Prince Boateng. Prince Boateng made a personal breakthrough from the middle line and fired a precise left-footed shot into the near corner from the edge of the box on the left side, making it 1-0 for Ghana!

In the 61st minute, the United States equalized with a nod. Dempsey burst into the right side of the box and was tackled by Jonathan Mensah. Jonathan Mensah receives a yellow card. Donovan's right-footed shot bounced inside the right post. The score becomes 1 to 1!

Ninety minutes of fighting. The two sides were tied 1-1 and had to go to extra time, which was also the first extra time in this World Cup.

Ghana scored again at the start of the match. In the third minute of extra time, Ayew cleared the ball with the outside of his left foot on the left side of the backfield. Gyan stopped the ball with his chest at high speed, and Bocanegra still burst into the left side of the penalty area after hitting it behind him, and volleyed a left-footed volley into the net from eleven meters in front of the goal, giving Ghana a a 2-1 lead again!

Ghana defended stubbornly and kept the win until the end of the game, and they are the hope of the whole of Africa. The United States was eliminated and Ghana will face France for a ticket to the semi-finals.

On the 27th, the Anglo-German war is about to begin, and fans around the world will turn their attention to the Free State Stadium. It's a strong conversation, with two traditional teams fighting for a ticket to the quarterfinals and for the glory of their own country's football.

England finished second in the group, bringing the legendary Anglo-German clash to the quarter-finals. The two sides have met 27 times before, with England holding the upper hand with 12 wins, 6 draws and 10 defeats.

This is the fifth time the two sides have met at the World Cup finals, with England winning extra-time in 1966 thanks to a controversial goal in the final. Germany then went through the knockout rounds twice, winning once in extra time and once on penalties.

For the first time in his 28-game tenure in charge of England, Capello continued to start without rotation. German centre-forward Klose returns from suspension.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the game started on time!

Germany were the first to attack, in the fifth minute Schweinsteiger picked up a pass, Ozil burst into the right side of the box and shot from a tight angle, James bravely blocked the bottom line with his legs. Both sides paid great attention to defense and strengthened the pressing in the midfield, so both sides made a lot of mistakes in passing and receiving in attack.

In the 10th minute, Gerrard planned an attack, and he played a long ball behind Germany, and Neuer came in time to confiscate the football.

Germany took the lead in the 20th minute when Manuel Neuer kicked the ball in goal and Klose, who broke away from Upson's defense, scored from 11 yards!

The score became 1-0!

It was a typical quick counter-attack score. In the next game, England, who were behind the score, stepped up their attack. England coach Fabio Capello began to stand up and direct the game after conceding a goal, applauding his players from time to time.

In the 24th minute, Rooney cut inside on the left and fired wide from distance. A minute later, Frank Lampard passed the ball and Barry's left-footed shot from 30 yards was securely parried away by Manuel Neuer.

England, who had been unable to attack for a long time, suffered another blow in the 32nd minute, Ozil and Klose passed the ball in succession, Muller passed diagonally from the edge of the penalty area, and Podolski scored with a low shot from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area, and the score became 2-0!

The England fans were chilly, but five minutes later, their team pulled a goal back to give them renewed hope.

In the 37th minute, England used the first corner kick to pull one back, Gerrard crossed from the right, Upson got rid of Boateng and scored with a header from the edge of the small penalty area, and the score became 1-2!

England were in a state of flux and quickly snatched the ball at their feet after the game resumed. In the 38th minute, Frank Lampard picked Neuer in the arc of the box and hit the crossbar, Neuer confiscated it, and the England players began to celebrate the equaliser, but the referee did not award a goal.

Sky TV excitedly said: "The ball has crossed the goal line for a few miles! ”

This was a serious misjudgment and the biggest controversy of the game, the football entered the goal line for half a meter, and the referee didn't even see it. The miscalculation hit England too hard, and they almost came out of the nest after the start of the second half in order to equalise as much as possible.

In the 52nd minute, Frank Lampard missed the goal again when his free-kick hit the crossbar.

Germany doubled their advantage again in the 67th minute when Frank Lampard's free-kick was blocked by the wall, and Germany counter-attacked quickly to create a three-on-three chance. Schweinsteiger cut inside on the left and crossed diagonally, Muller shot into the near corner from 16 meters on the right side of the penalty area, James's save touched the ball but failed to prevent the gate from being lost again, and the score became 3-1!

After the game, some media believed that the German team won the game by virtue of a quick counterattack. The England players were desperate and three minutes later, Germany sealed the win. Ozil got rid of Barry on the left and burst into the left side of the penalty area to cross, and Muller scored twice from eight meters to make the score four to one!

With a three-goal lead and victory in sight, the Germans slowed down the pace of the game in the final fifteen minutes and began to use the pass and catch to control the game. With the referee's whistle at the end of the game, Germany finally beat England 4-1 to advance to the quarterfinals, and the English went out with regret.

The misjudgment of the referee on duty in the 38th minute became the focus of heated discussions in the media. The Guardian said: "England is paying its debts for 1966!" Frank Lampard's long-range shot went over the head of Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, hit the crossbar and bounced into the net before bouncing out. ”

On 30 July 1966, the World Cup final between England and the Federal Republic of Germany was played at Wembley. Within 90 minutes, the two teams were tied 2-2.

In the 101st minute of extra time, the most suspenseful goal in the history of world football appeared: Hearst shot hard, the ball hit the lintel and then smashed into the goal line and bounced......

Assistant referee Bahramov did not see if the ball had crossed the goal line, but signaled that the ball had crossed the goal line in its entirety, and the Swiss referee Diincter declared the goal valid.

In the end, with this goal, the England team continued to work hard and won the Remet Gold Cup! However, this "ghost goal" has become an eternal unsolved case in the history of world football.

The British media believes that this is also the England team's repayment of debts for the unsolved case 44 years ago. More media have sharply criticized coach Fabio Capello, believing that the misjudgment is certainly true, but throughout this World Cup, the England team is not very good.

The Three Lions often make low-level mistakes in the game, with England in the slump since the start of the World Cup, barely making it out of the group stage.

England's 4-1 defeat to Germany has many to blame, and manager Fabio Capello, who earns £6 million a year, is inevitably on the cusp. After the game, in the face of widespread skepticism and bombardment, Capello publicly stated that he would not voluntarily resign from the England manager's position, and that he would have to communicate further with the FA about his future in the Three Lions.

The game has led to a revival of the introduction of electronics into football, with FIFA President Sepp Blatter saying he still does not support the introduction of electronic replay technology that has been discussed for years in football. However, under pressure from various parties, he later changed his tune, saying that FIFA could re-evaluate the proposal in the future. (To be continued......)
