Chapter 357 The Strange Upper Half District

In another match that started at the same time in Group B, South Korea drew 2-2 with Nigeria and advanced to the round of 16 for the first time outside the country.In the 12th minute, Odia made a cross from the right, and K-Uche shot in front of the goal.In the 38th minute, Ki Sung-yong took a free kick on the left, and Lee Jung-soo outflanked the goal from behind.In the 48th minute, Park Joo-young scored from a free kick from 24 yards.In the 69th minute, Yakubu scored a penalty kick.

It is reported that Zheng Chenglong's wife Lin Meijing gave birth to a healthy baby boy in a hospital in Seoul, South Korea on the morning of the 18th.After becoming a father, Zheng Chenglong hopes to strive for better performances in subsequent competitions.

The South Korean players did not forget to congratulate their team's goalkeeper. After Li Zhengxiu scored a goal, they performed a lullaby together.This is not only reminiscent of the cradle dance performed by Bebeto after Brazil scored a goal in the 1994 World Cup in the United States.

During the game, Nigeria had every chance to beat South Korea and achieve a goal difference of 2 goals, but captain Yakubu's incredible mistakes prevented Nigeria from coming back.

In the 66th minute, Ayila suddenly changed the line and made a pass from the left side of the penalty area. Zheng Chenglong made a mistake and failed to intercept the incoming ball. When the speed was not too fast, Yakubu lifted the ball with his right foot lightly towards the goal, but he missed the ball! [

Lagerbeck on the sidelines bit his lip with a serious face, and almost yelled at Yakubu on the court.It was a chance that was easier to score than a penalty, in other words, it was a shot that was more difficult to miss than to score, but Yakubu sent it flying. It was an unforgivable mistake anyway.

But this is not the first mistake that Yakubu made. As early as the 59th minute, he missed a one-handed goal. He received a pass and dunked Lee Jung-soo and faced Zheng Chenglong directly. At this time, Martins had caught up. In response, Yakubu can hit an empty goal as long as he passes Martins.But Yakubu decided to shoot by himself, and Cheng Chenglong kicked the goal lightly.

Yakubu's 2 shots on the field made 2 single-handed goals, otherwise Nigeria should have advanced.In fact, the South Korean team in this game was completely out of shape. Many defensive mistakes gave Nigeria a lot of opportunities, but Yakubu let go of good opportunities one after another, which made the Nigerian team lose confidence.

Nigeria won a penalty in the 69th minute, Yakubu took a few deep breaths and took the penalty himself.Fortunately, he didn't make another mistake this time, and used his left foot to score the ball in the lower left corner of the goal very lightly.But after scoring this penalty and scoring his 55st goal in 21 games in Nigeria, Yakubu was replaced by Lagerbeck.

It can be said that the Nigerians used their poor performance to send the Koreans into the top 16!

All four games in the two groups are completed, Uruguay will play against South Korea, and Mexico will play against Argentina!

In the following group, England drew two games in a row. If they want to appear, they must win in the final round. It can be said that everyone in the group still has hope of advancing, and the situation of qualifying for the group is extremely delicate.

In the first two games, the performance of the Three Lions was disappointing.After two consecutive draws, Capello's team must beat Slovenia in the final battle to ensure they qualify from the group.Slovenia performed very well with 1 win and 1 tie in the first two games. As long as they draw with England in this campaign, they will definitely get a promotion spot.The two teams have only fought once in history. In a friendly match in 1, the England team won 2009-2.

In this campaign, Milner, Upson and Defoe entered the starting lineup, Rooney is still at the top, Barry and Lampard sit in the midfield, Terry guards the defense and James guards the goal.For Slovenia, Novakovic and Ljubjankic joined forces as strikers, Koren was in midfield, and Handanovic was guarding the goal.

England defeated Slovenia 1-0 and advanced to the top 16 as the second place in the group. In the 23rd minute, Milner made a diagonal pass from the right to the penalty area, and Defoe outflanked the goal and scored.

At the same time, in the last round of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Germany defeated Ghana 1-0 and qualified as the first in the group. Their opponent in the final of 18 will be the England team.In the 61st minute, Thomas Muller made a cross, and Ozil volleyed from the top of the penalty area and scored.

In Capello's career, there is a story that has been repeatedly staged.First, Capello "suppressed the rebellion", and then the people he suppressed came forward to save his team.The most typical example is that in the 06-07 season, Capello suppressed Beckham in Real Madrid, but it was Beckham who helped Capello win the championship.This night, there was an extra stage in the story, the rebel Terry saved Capello once again.

Before the game, there were rumors of infighting in England.Terry first asked Capello to make an exception and let everyone drink a glass of beer.After drinking a glass of beer, Terry brewed a "mutiny".He led Gerrard, Johnson, James, Lampard, Rooney and others, and made suggestions to Capello, directly commenting on the team's employment and tactics (requiring Capello to use Joe Cole, etc.).This move can be described as a disaster.Who doesn't know who Capello is?When did Capello allow players to offend his authority?

The "beer coup" initiated by Terry was easily suppressed by Capello.Under Capello's high pressure, a large number of players such as Gerrard dared not participate. Terry also issued an apology statement afterwards.When Capello was interviewed afterwards, he said coldly: "A coup? No, this is just the wrong behavior of a player. My door is always open, and anyone who wants to talk to me is fine. But before you speak, you must know respect!"

Many people doubt that Terry will be deprived of the main position.However, due to the shortage of central defenders in England, Capello did not take it lightly.Therefore, in this battle, Terry is a big attraction. If he performs poorly, he may be scolded by the English for many years.Fortunately, under heavy pressure, Terry played an extremely amazing state.

Throughout the war, Terry's statistics were extremely astonishing: as a central defender, he ran nearly 9000 meters.4 clearances in the penalty area, 22 interceptions of the opponent's fast break, 9 pre-judged interceptions, and [-] headers all succeeded!In the first and second half, Terry even blocked the opponent's two must-go shots.

In the 20th minute, Slovenia quickly counterattacked, Ljubyankic broke into the right side of the penalty area, and Novakovic on the other side has also followed up.In front of the two strikers, only Terry was defending.Terry was extremely calm. He resolutely blocked Ljubyankic's inside line, blocking Ljubyankic's internal cut route and hindering his passing route.Terry, who was fighting and retreating, saw the moment Ljubyankic shot, shoveled his feet, and blocked the opponent's shot.A two-on-one counterattack with two ghosts hitting the door was resolved by him.

In the second half, Terry saved the day even more.In the 66th minute, Barry made a mistake in the front court and was blocked. Slovenia quickly counterattacked. Novakovic shot from the penalty spot. Terry blocked the must-go ball again with a flying shovel. The opponent got the ball and shot again. Terry Flying to save the opponent's explosive shot that tried to block the opponent with his head!Although the ball didn't hit his head, it was obvious that this one still disturbed the opponent.In any case, such an approach can be called heroic and reckless, and it is quite epic.

Throughout the game, Terry blocked the opponent's shots a total of 3 times, especially the two blocks in the first half and the second half. Either time was half a step slower. Slovenia is celebrating today's promotion.It can be said that Terry's contribution is no less than that of Defoe and other players for England's risky promotion in the final battle!To paraphrase the famous phrase, "Terry has done a great job, and at this moment, the number of traitors will flexibly possess him!" [

For Terry's ability, there has been no doubt.But for Terry's public image, the media is quite critical.In fact, since the 2010 World Cup, many of Terry's practices have harmed England's interests.A "friend wife door" discredited England's captain's armband, detonated the team's internal turmoil, and made the England team ridiculed by the world; a "beer coup" had the taste of self-disruption before the big game.Fortunately, on the edge of the cliff, Terry used such a performance to somewhat clear his name.People have to admit that although he has a "ball bully" demeanor, he is still capable after all.

Terry, as the suppressed "rebel", saved Capello.This is reminiscent of the 06-07 season, when Beckham, who was also suppressed, saved Capello.Of course, when it comes to the splendor of the story and the appeal of the story, Terry is clearly no match for Beckham.Because after Beckham was inexplicably suppressed, while bearing grievances, he completed the rescue of Capello.And Terry, what he saved was not only Capello, but also his already poor public image.

Stoppage time lore!Donovan!When the US team had already stepped into the abyss of elimination, the real savior finally appeared in the 91st minute.Donovan, the best player in American football in the past 10 years, staged a Jordan-style lore in the World Cup!The lore brought the American team back to life in an instant!This is Donovan's second goal in this World Cup, and it also increases his total number of World Cup goals to four, tying the goal record held by the United States' top scorer in World Cup history, Bate Paterno. .The vicissitudes of life show the true qualities of a hero.Donovan created a miracle with the lore. At that moment, he not only won the right to qualify for the US team, but also won the whole world.

From the fledgling in the 1999 World Youth Championship to the peak of the 2010 World Cup, 11 years have passed, allowing Donovan to complete the transformation from a young boy to a world star. In the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, in the 1/8 final between the United States and Mexico, Donovan scored two goals to help the United States beat their opponents 2-0.After becoming famous in the World Cup in Korea and Japan, Donovan quickly rose to the ranks of world-class stars.In the US national team, he became the top scorer with 44 goals.At the same time, Donovan won the American Footballer of the Year 3 times, the best player of the national team 6 times, won the Major League Golden Boot in 08, and won the final award in 09.The major league mvp, three times into the major league best team.Among American players, Donovan's brilliance is hard to come by.

In the 2006 World Cup, the U.S. team was eliminated in the group stage and scored only two poor goals, one of which was an own goal presented by Zacardo of the Italian team.For Donovan, this is like a great shame.Four years later in South Africa, Donovan vowed to bring back the lost face.In the last game against Slovenia, the US team trailed 0-2 at halftime.In the second half, it was Donovan's explosive goal that blew the clarion call for the US team's counterattack; it was he who assisted Bradley Jr. to score and helped the US team equalize the score.If it weren't for the referee's misjudgment, the US team would have completed a shocking reversal.After the game, Donovan was selected as the best player of the game by FIFA, which is also the greatest affirmation of his outstanding performance.

What is a star?A star is someone who can stand up at critical moments, score goals, and lead the team to victory.In the game between the US team and the Algeria team, Donovan finally interpreted the definition of a star.In the game, Donovan also took on the heavy responsibility of the US team's offensive organization while charging.In the 7th minute, Donovan organized a quick counterattack. Edu made a wonderful pass to Gomez, and the latter shot was saved by the goalkeeper.In the 35th minute, Donovan passed the ball to Dempsey, and Dempsey's shot was saved by the goalkeeper again.Not only that, Donovan also arranged a corner kick for the US team, showing comprehensive skills.In the 37th minute, the U.S. team attacked. Donovan, eager to make a contribution, grabbed a point with Edu and kicked the ball away.According to the Tencent data analysis master, Donovan scored 3 goal out of 1 shots in the game, which is amazingly efficient.In addition, he also had 7 crosses, 4 corner kicks, and 12 passes into the penalty area, all of which ranked first in the team.

In the second half, the time passed by every minute and every second, and the score still remained unchanged.In the 58th minute, Dempsey did not score in the face of an empty goal, which seemed to indicate that the US team had recovered.In another game, England led Slovenia 1-0. A draw means being eliminated for the United States and Algeria, but who is willing to accept the fate of being out?Where is the star who can save the US team?In stoppage time, the savior finally appeared: in the 91st minute, Howard kicked a goal kick with a big foot, and Donovan went straight.Altidore made a cross, Dempsey's shot was saved, and Donovan broke the net with a supplementary shot!Lore, absolute lore!Donovan saved Bradley, saved Dempsey, saved American Soccer!

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for Team USA fans.Donovan's heroic feat will surely be recorded in the history of the World Cup.

America's knockout opponent will be Africa's Ghana.

Although the Ghana team was defeated by the Germans in the final round, they finally relied on the advantage of goal difference to squeeze out Australia with 4 points and become the first African team to advance to the knockout round so far.

It is generally recognized by the outside world that Argentina, Germany, and England are stationed in the upper half of the region, while Brazil, Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal are stationed in the lower half.

As the qualifying teams and rankings of the World Cup group and group were announced, even weirder half-zone matchups took place.England and Germany will meet early, with the winner between them taking on the winner between Argentina and Mexico, which also brings together Uruguay, South Korea, the United States and Ghana in the other half.

The strong ones are too strong, the weak ones are too weak. Not only will some favorites to win the championship fall early, but a "dark horse channel" has also appeared.If the disappointing English has completely messed up the situation in the upper half, then in the lower half, the Spanish team, which will still fight for the qualifying in the final battle, has become another spoiler.

Where there is a dialogue between the strong and the strong, there must be a meeting of the weak.

Uruguay vs. South Korea, the United States vs. Ghana. Although these two contests across four continents are not the top 16 matches that the outside world most hopes to see, if it is not the case, how can the "dark horse" that has never been lacking in the World Cup escape?

No wonder, the original situation of a strong team guarding one area alone was broken by the English, and Ukraine, South Korea, the United States, and Canada followed suit.

In the past 20 years, the names of Cameroon, Bulgaria, Croatia, Turkey, and South Korea have been written in the "dark horse book" of the World Cup. The only exception is the last World Cup in Germany. Only Ukraine, which reached the top 8, barely counts.

At present, it can be determined that the weakest half of this World Cup will surely run a "dark horse" to advance to the semi-finals.Who is the one?Except for Ghana, which barely advanced, the other three teams performed well in the group stage. Uruguay has won the World Cup twice, and the Koreans also advanced to the semi-finals in 2002.In particular, the U.S. team, which was promoted at the last minute, is eye-catching. Not only do they have a fast, concise and practical impact style of play similar to American football, but luck also seems to be on their side.

According to the previous World Cup practice, the dialogue between the strong and the strong usually does not start until the 1/4 finals.

For example, in the last World Cup, three of the four 1\4 decisive battles were strong dialogues.

In this year's South Africa, the most eye-catching matchups will be staged as early as the 1\8 finals.In the second half, the situation is far more complicated than predicted.What interests fans the most is what if Spain also meets Brazil in advance?

The situation in Group G is already very unclear. If the Brazilian team does not release water to Portugal as they promised, it will definitely qualify as the first in the group.In contrast, Spain must win against Chile to qualify, and it needs to score as many goals as possible to win the group first, so that it can hope to avoid Brazil.Brazil and Spain are currently ranked No. [-] and No. [-] in the FIFA rankings. Brazil striker Nierma said: "If there is a real encounter, it will be an early World Cup final. "[

Of course, even if Spain avoids Brazil, they will definitely meet Huaxia Hong Kong team. Li Yu will face Casillas, Ramos, Alonso and other Real Madrid products, and it will also be a star-studded decisive battle.However, the premise of all this is that the Spaniard must win the last game, otherwise it will be a disaster for this World Cup.
