After the start of the game, both sides were very careful and tested each other. As the game progressed, both sides stepped up their attacks, and wonderful images continued to appear. Due to the pressure of the World Cup, coupled with the strong defensive focus of both sides, both teams have been unable to find the back of the net.

Just when people thought that the first game of this World Cup was going to be 0-0, the Ghana team ushered in a killing opportunity.

In the 83rd minute, Ghana crossed from the left side to the back point, Kuzmanovic defended in front of Prince Boateng and blocked the ball with his raised right arm.

The Netherlands took the lead just 34 seconds into the second half when Robin van Persie's cross from the left was headed clear by Paulsen. The ball hit team-mate Ager and deflected towards his own goal.

Own goal!

It was the first own goal of the tournament!

Denmark, who were trailing by the scoreline, stepped up their attack, and if Van Marwijk made a difference to the Netherlands, it was that they were more defensively focused. Under the tight defense of the Dutch, the Danes returned again and again in vain.

The Netherlands doubled their lead in the 85th minute when Sneijder crossed and Elia fired a one-on-one shot from 12 yards. The ball bounced off the right-hand post and Kuyt fired into the empty net from close range.

Two to zero!

In the end, the Dutch team, who were balanced in attack and defense, won the first game.

At 4 p.m., the other two teams from Group E were unveiled, with Asian powerhouse Japan taking on the African Lions Cameroon.

With the referee's whistle, the atmosphere at Blomfontaine's Free State Stadium became lively. Japan, with its delicate technology, confronted Cameroon, which was wide open and closed.

Japan broke the deadlock with their first shot on goal in the 39th minute, Daisuke Matsui crossed from the right, CSKA midfielder and Keisuke Honda scored from close range on the left side of the small penalty area.

1 to 0!

Japan takes the lead!

Cameroon, who were trailing by the scoreline, launched a furious attack on Japan under the leadership of the team's big name Samuel Eto'o. In the 86th minute, Mbia made a long-range shot from 30 meters outside the penalty area, and the football went straight to the dead corner.

Japanese goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima failed to touch the ball with his fingers just when it was expected that Cameroon would equalise at the last minute.

"Pong! ......" There was a loud bang, and the ball hit the crossbar and flew off the baseline.

The hopes of the Cameroonians were dashed, and they finally had to accept a 0-1 defeat. South Korea and Japan, two traditional Asian powerhouses that have appeared in succession, have won victories, making Asian fans proud.

On the 15th, at half past one o'clock at noon, another match in Group F was played at the Real Bafken Stadium in Rustenburg. The two sides are Slovakia and New Zealand.

This is the first time the two teams have met in history. Slovakia made their World Cup debut, and Shktel, who suffered an ankle injury in the warm-up with Ivory Coast, returned in time. New Zealand's only previous finalist was in 1982, having lost all three of their group games, and last year failed to pick up a point in the group stage of the Confederations Cup, winning just three of their 28 meetings with European teams.

The two sides had a dull first half, and the deadlock was broken just after the start of the second half.

In the fifth minute of the second half, Slovakia launched a sharp attack. Shestak combined with Weiss Jr. and crossed over Reid's head from the right. Vitek hit a ball into the bottom left corner from seven yards out.

1 to 0!

New Zealand, who were behind by the scoreline, did not give up and launched ferocious attacks against Slovakia, but they failed again and again. With 90 minutes of regular time played and stoppage time, some New Zealand fans left the stadium disappointed.

The football stadium is a place where the miracle of zào is created, and in the third minute of stoppage time, God favors the New Zealanders who did not give up. Smeltz defended the ball on the left and turned with his right foot to take the ball and Reid smashed his header into the bottom right corner from seven yards out.

One-to-one!

New Zealand stubbornly equalised before the final whistle.

15th, 4 p.m. The first match of the first round of Group G is played at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth. The two sides are Portugal with Cristiano Ronaldo and Ivory Coast with Didier Drogba.

If there is a group of death in this World Cup, it is Group G. Brazil, Portugal, and Ivory Coast are all strong teams, and the only weak team is the mysterious North Korean team.

It was said. This World Cup. It gathers the three major strikers of today. It is the happiness of the fans of the world. Tang Jue scored a goal and an assist in the first game, which was a perfect start to his trip to South Africa. Macy's table xiàn is acceptable. He almost scored his first World Cup goal.

The state of Cristiano Ronaldo has sparked interest. After the start of the game, Ronaldo was very positive, seven minutes later, Jokola tackled Ronaldo head-on, Uruguayan referee La Leonda took out the first yellow card, and Ronaldo took a free kick from 35 meters away and hit the wall.

Ronaldo almost broke the national team's goal drought in the 11th minute!

Merreles crossed from the right, Ronaldo took the ball in the middle and turned past Yaya Toure, and hit the left post with a powerful right-footed volley from 30 meters in front of the goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo then fell into the tight defense of Côte d'Ivoire. In the twentieth minute, Ronaldo broke through the top of the penalty area and fell to the ground with a cross tackle, and referee La Leonda signaled that the game would continue. Cristiano Ronaldo got up and got into a verbal altercation with Demer, and referee La Leonda called the two together and showed a yellow card each.

After that, Ronaldo disappeared from view and did not have a shot on goal until the 80th minute of the second half. And it was a free-kick, and his free-kick went over the crossbar.

In the end, the two sides ended the game with a dull 0-0, and the first 0-0 game of this World Cup was born. After the game, Ronaldo was widely criticized by the media.

"Overall, we did our best and had a clear conscience. I was playing hard, trying to shoot, they defended well, we couldn't get in, it was difficult to attack. Cristiano Ronaldo said in his post-match press conference.

The British Daily Mail criticized: In the Portuguese team, Ronaldo is the captain and Simão is the second captain, but after the start of this game, we did not see Simão. The reason was that he had an argument with Cristiano Ronaldo before the game, and the manager Queiroz was forced to press him to the bench under pressure.

Before the opening match of the World Cup, Portugal had beaten Mozambique 3-0 in the warm-up match. In contrast to that game, Queiroz did not feature Simão in this game, with Simão handing over his place to Dani as second captain.

The official explanation of Portugal is that Dani performed very well in the game against Mozambique, but the Portuguese media revealed that as the two veterans of the Portuguese team, there are deep contradictions between Simão and Ronaldo.

Simao, who is down-to-earth, has always been unaccustomed to Ronaldo's style. And in the Portuguese team, Simao's seniority is more senior than Ronaldo's, and he is unwilling to be assigned by Ronaldo, so Queiroz can only let Simão serve as a substitute.

Portugal were kept under pressure by Ivory Coast in the first half of the game, especially with the two wings barely creating any threatening attacks after losing the support of Nani and Simão.

Nani has returned to Portugal and Queiroz can only use Simão at this time. After the second captain came on the field, he really showed his sharp characteristics of attacking on the wing, and many of the threatening side attacks of the Portuguese team were launched by Simao.

Unfortunately, Portugal did not have the ability to show superiority, and Simão received very little support, so he did not contribute more exciting.

The Daily Telegraph attributed Ronaldo's slump to Tang Jue: In the season just ended, Real Madrid achieved the treble again after a year, and Ronaldo contributed greatly.

The Ballmaker has scored significantly fewer goals in La Liga than in the previous two seasons, and he has handed over the task of scoring goals to Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese exerted a lot of physical and mental energy, which led him to a rather sluggish national team game.

Therefore, Ronaldo's slump is caused by the ball tyrant! (To be continued......)
