future king

The World Cup is still going on in full swing, the competition is going on day after day, and the most critical third round of the group stage is about to start.

Within a day, the final qualifying teams of the two groups will be decided.

With Suarez's goal, Uruguay defeated Mexico 1-0, with 2 wins and 1 tie, and a record of 7 points unbeaten in three games easily won the first place in the group and entered the top 16 with their heads held high.This is a "historical" moment for Uruguay football. After 20 years, Uruguay football re-entered the World Cup knockout round, and the two victories in the group stage directly broke the record that Uruguay has only won one game in the World Cup finals in the past 40 years. Embarrassing, the two-time World Cup winner ushered in a moment of recovery.

In the early to mid-1924th century, Uruguay was well-deserved as the world's number one football power. In the two consecutive Olympic Games in 1928 and 1930, Uruguay football finally won the championship.Under such circumstances, the first World Cup was held in Uruguay in 1, and Uruguay also showed terrifying strength.They defeated Peru 0-4 in the first match of the group stage, beat Romania 0-6 in the second match, and swept the former Yugoslavia 1-4 in the semifinals.In the final decisive battle, Uruguay defeated Argentina 2-[-] and won the first World Cup championship.

20 years later, in the fourth World Cup, Uruguay remained strong after the upgrade. In the round-robin competition system, Uruguay remained unbeaten with 3 wins and 1 tie. Especially in the first game, it played a classic game like an 8-0 bloodbath against Bolivia. In the final, even more It was a 2-1 victory over the favorites, the hosts Brazil.After the game, the Brazilian media called it one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history.In this World Cup, Uruguay has used man-marking tactics to the extreme, and this feature has also profoundly affected Uruguayan football. [

Four years later, in the World Cup in Switzerland, Uruguay defeated the Czech Republic 2-0, Scotland 7-0 to qualify for the group, defeated England 14-4 in the 2-finals, and lost 2-4 to Hungary, the world's number one powerhouse, in the semi-finals. , In the battle for the third place, Uruguay lost 1-3 to Austria.Uruguay, who was defending the title, suffered a serious decline in strength afterwards and failed to enter the finals in the 1958 World Cup. In 1962, Uruguay once again entered the World Cup finals, but after winning the first match, they lost consecutively to the Soviet Union and the former Yugoslavia, and were eliminated miserably.

连续两届世界杯表现不佳之后，乌拉圭足球在上世纪60年代末期迎来短暂复苏。在1966年英格兰世界杯上，乌拉圭小组赛首战0-0战0-0『逼』平英格兰，次战2-1击败法国，最后一战面对墨西哥0-0守平，不过在14决赛中乌拉圭被德国队4-0血洗。1970年世界杯，乌拉圭迎来了自1950年夺冠之后，又一个历史时刻，在时隔20年之后重新杀回世界杯四强，不过在半决赛中遗憾地1-3不敌巴西，季军争夺战也0-1不敌德国。

Since then, Uruguayan football has been in a trough for a long time. Before this World Cup, Uruguay had only advanced to the World Cup finals four times, and the best result was only the top 4. Even this result was achieved in the World Cup in Italy 16 years ago. .The last time Uruguay entered the World Cup finals was in 20, but at that time Uruguay had 2002 draws and 2 loss and failed to advance to the knockout round.What is even more puzzling is that from 1 to before the start of this World Cup, Uruguay has only won one victory in the World Cup in 1970 years, which shows the decline of Uruguayan football.

Considering that Uruguay qualified for the World Cup in South Africa only through the qualifiers, before the start of the World Cup, Uruguay was not favored, especially in the case of being in a group with France, Mexico and the host, almost no one believed that Uruguay could win the World Cup. Get the right to qualify for the group stage.

However, in the first match, Uruguay drew France 0-0, creating a surprise.In the second game, Uruguay defeated the host South Africa 3-0, firmly grasping the fate of the group qualifying in their own hands.At the end of the game, Uruguay defeated Mexico 1-0 with Suarez's goal, and qualified first in the group.After a lapse of 20 years, they re-entered the knockout rounds, and Uruguayan football welcomed the recovery.

Although Mexico lost 0 to 1 to Uruguay, they still advanced to the top 16 as the second in the group. This is their fifth consecutive World Cup to reach the top 16.In the past five World Cups, not many teams have been able to do this.In this World Cup, the Brazilian team has already qualified ahead of the group stage, and they have become the only team that can compete with Mexico.In addition, only Italy and Germany have reached the top 16 for four consecutive times, and traditional strong teams such as Argentina, France, England, and Spain cannot do so.

It is a pity that the Mexican team failed to go further each time, and all stopped in the 18 finals.In the history of the Mexican team, only the 1970 World Cup and the 1986 World Cup held in the country reached the quarter-finals, but at that time there were only 16 and 24 participating teams.Can the Mexican team break through history in this World Cup?

The Mexican team is a frequent visitor to the World Cup and has reached the World Cup finals 14 times.Mexico participated in the inaugural World Cup in 1930 as a specially invited team.In the group stage, they lost 1 to 4 to France, 0 to 3 to Chile, 3 to 6 to Argentina, and failed to qualify for the group stage.From 1950 to 1970, the Mexican team participated in the World Cup for six consecutive times. Only in the 1970 World Cup, the team qualified for the quarter-finals (16 participating teams), but lost 14-1 to Italy in the 4 finals.The other five sessions were all eliminated in the group stage.After missing the 1974 World Cup, Mexico returned to the World Cup finals in 1978.In the group stage, they lost all three games and were eliminated, and also lost to the former West Germany with a big score of 0 to 6.

In the 1986 World Cup, Mexico made it out of the group stage with a record of 2 wins and 1 draw by virtue of the host's advantage. In the final of 18, they defeated Bulgaria 2-0, tying the best ranking created in the 1970 World Cup. In the 14 final, the Mexican team drew 120-0 with the former West Germany team within 0 minutes, and lost 1-4 in the penalty shootout, failing to create history again. In the 1990 World Cup, the Mexican team did not qualify for the World Cup.

Since 1994, the Mexican team has entered the World Cup for five consecutive times, and has reached the top 16 for five consecutive times. This has to be said to be a miracle.It is a pity that the Mexican team was eliminated in the final of 18 every time, and the quarterfinals of the World Cup became an unattainable goal. In the 1994 World Cup, the Mexican team drew 18-120 with Bulgaria in 1 minutes in the final of the 1th match. In the penalty shoot-out, they lost 1-3 and stopped in the top 16. In the 1998 World Cup, the Mexican team’s opponent in the 18th final was Germany, and the final score was 1-2. Lost to the opponent; in the 2002 World Cup, Mexico lost 18 to 0 to the US team in the 2 finals, qualifying for the quarterfinals for three consecutive times. In the 2006 World Cup, Mexico played against Argentina in the final of 18.Just 5 minutes into the game, Marquez's goal gave Mexico a fantastic start.But 4 minutes later, Crespo equalized the score in the melee. In 90 minutes, the two teams fought 1-1.In the 7th minute of overtime, Rodriguez scored a goal with a super world wave. The Mexican team lost 1-2 in the end, and once again regretted stopping in the round of 16.

In the 2010 World Cup, the Mexican team defeated the host South Africa and the former World Cup champion France, and joined hands with the Uruguay team to qualify. In the final of 16, Mexico will face Argentina.Facing this familiar old opponent, the Mexican team is definitely at a disadvantage in terms of strength.But four years ago, they were able to "force" the Argentine team to overtime; four years later, can they create a miracle and break through the curse of the top 18?There is a saying, if you are willing to cut yourself into pieces, you dare to pull the emperor off the horse!

In the group duel at the same time, South Africa finally won the first victory of this World Cup with 2-1, but the host South Africa still could not escape the bad luck of being out of the group.As the first host country in 80 years who failed to pass the first round, South Africa chose to defeat the former World Cup champion France as their curtain call ceremony, which made them lose out tragically and also won the respect of fans all over the world .

Looking at South Africa's current World Cup trip, it is a blessing for the host to score four points, and there is no need to be sad if they fail to qualify for the group.After three games, the host has shown the South African football style to the world with their good performance. Even if the score is slightly worse, the gold content of this report card is worthy of recognition.

On the contrary, the French team completely performed a farce of internal strife in the World Cup, and it was a strange thing to lose face to the World Cup.

French team coach Domenech wants to save the terminally ill French team.He abolished the three main players of Abidal, Evra, and Henry, trying to use this extreme method to quell internal strife and inspire the French team to fulfill their final responsibilities.But is this approach useful?The answer is no use! The score of 1-2 gave the answer.

use

However, if there is such a thing, it is necessary for people to reflect.What is Domenech doing, isn't he the coach of this French team?What is Gourcuff doing? Isn't he the core of the French team?What is Evra doing, isn't he the captain of this French team?What is Govou doing, isn't he the number 10 of this French team?Why are so many people less influential than a retired player!

In the final analysis, the problem of the French team lies in the lack of leaders and generals.Everyone misses Zidane precisely because they know that there must be one person who has the ability to unite them for the French team to succeed.But in the current French team, the coach can't do this, the hard-lifted core can't do it, the captain can't do it, the number 10 can't do it... no one can do it!

In Group B competition, as the favorite to win this cup, the Argentine team led by Maradona is getting better.After two wins in the group stage, as long as the Blue and White Army draw with Greece, Argentina will securely win the first place in the group. Even if they lose to their opponents, as long as there are no major accidents, the Blue and White Army can smoothly advance to the top 16.In history, Argentina and Greece have only had one confrontation record. In the group stage of the 1994 World Cup in the United States, Argentina beat Greece 4-0.

In the end, Argentina defeated Greece 2-0 at Paul Guani's Mokaba Stadium. They won all three games and won the top spot in the group and advanced, while Greece was eliminated miserably.In the 77th minute of the game, Demichelis broke the deadlock; in the 89th minute, Palermo made another victory.Argentina will face Mexico, which is second in the group, in the 1/8 final.

In the third round of the group match between Argentina and Greece, Maradona made some rotations, and captain Mascherano took a rest.Argentina's captain's armband was handed over to Messi. This is the first time that Messi has become the captain of Argentina!

In the history of the Argentina World Cup, it is extremely rare for a player who is one day away from turning 1 to wear the captain's armband.It is difficult to examine the long history, but "Ole" pointed out that in the history of the World Cup, the Argentine team usually chooses the captain based on the number of games played and prestige, so the captain must not be young.

In fact, although Messi is young, he has already had the experience of wearing the captain's armband.In Barcelona, ​​Messi once wore the captain's armband in some friendly matches, such as the warm-up match between Barcelona and Dundee United, due to the absence of Puyol, Xavi and others, Messi wore the captain's armband.Inspired by the armband, Messi scored three goals alone, helping the team beat the opponent 5-1.But in the Argentine national team, Messi wears the armband for the first time.

Messi has long been the number one star, core and spiritual leader of the Argentine team.This captain's armband is just a form to make obvious what people have already recognized.What's more, Messi is the player with the most goals in this Argentine national team. He scored 46 goals in 13 games. Maxi Rodriguez with more than 12 goals, Tevez and Veron with 9 goals, ranked First.Of course he is entitled to wear it.

For Messi, the captain's armband is undoubtedly a kind of motivation, and it is the best birthday gift.Messi will be 24 years old on the 23th.After qualifying in the group, spending his 23rd birthday; before the cruel knockout round, taking over the captain's armband, these are the biggest incentives for Messi.Maradona hopes to use this method to let Messi know more deeply about his responsibilities, his status in this Argentine team, and his role in Argentine football.

As we all know, before the World Cup, Messi still had some controversies in the Argentine team, mainly because he performed too well in Barcelona, ​​and his performance in Argentina's World Cup qualifiers was somewhat mediocre.Fortunately, in the World Cup main match, Messi has used his wonderful performances in the group stage to sweep away these controversies.Now, with the best incentive like the captain's armband, Messi is bound to work harder and harder.

It can be said that Messi already has everything: state, feeling, trust of the coach, and authority within the team.What he needs to do now is to lead Argentina to win the championship!
