Chapter 373 , the general trend of the World Cup
Update time:2013-03-07
The focus of the World Cup qualifiers is of course the European region. On October 6, the final round of the World Cup European qualifiers was held. Following Poland, which qualified two rounds in advance, and Spain and Sweden, which qualified one round in advance, the other six countries directly qualified.
All the quotas have been divided up. Next year’s World Cup in Korea and Japan will not see strong teams such as the Netherlands, Yugoslavia, Scotland and Bulgaria.
Russia qualified directly from the first group.
With only a tie to qualify, Russia beat Switzerland 4:0 at home, with Bescanic scoring a hat trick in 23 minutes. Slovenia defeated the underdog Faroe Islands 3:0 at home, overwhelming Yugoslavia with a 1-point advantage.
.Although Yugoslavia defeated Luxembourg 6:2, it was too late. Jokanovic and Mijatovic each scored a goal, and Kežman and Milosevic both scored twice.
Portugal qualified directly in Group 2
The second place in this group will compete with the third place in the top ten in Asia for a World Cup ticket. In this round of competition, Portugal defeated Estonia 5:0 at home and won the first place in the group and entered the World Cup again after 15 years.
.Although Ireland defeated Cyprus 4:0 at home, it will still face off against the third-placed team in the top ten in Asia. The two-leg match is scheduled for November 10th and 15th.
Denmark qualified directly in Group 3
Denmark had to win this game to ensure first place, and the result was a 6:0 win over Iceland. In the group second place battle between the Czech Republic and Bulgaria, the Czech Republic won 6:0. Malta lost to Northern Ireland 0:1 at home.
Sweden qualified directly in Group 4
The remaining games are irrelevant to the overall situation. Sweden qualified early and Turkey secured second place. Turkey defeated Moldova 3:0 away from home. They had already secured the first place in the group before the game.
Poland qualified directly in Group 5
Poland, which qualified early, did not let go at home and drew with Ukraine 1:1. Belarus failed to seize the great opportunity and lost to Wales 0:1 in the away game, falling 2 points behind Ukraine and being eliminated. Norway defeated Armenia 4:1 away from home.
Croatia qualified directly in Group 6
Croatia defeated Belgium 1:0 at home, overtaking the opponent by 1 point, and entered the finals for two consecutive years. Scotland defeated Latvia 2:1 at home, but due to their failure to compete in the World Cup, head coach Brown resigned.
Spain qualified directly in Group 7
Due to the Russian plane crash, Austria's away game against Israel was postponed, and the winner of the two teams will become second in the group.
Italy qualified directly in Group 8
Italy only needed 1 point to qualify. Piero took a free kick in the 45th minute and scored. Romania tied with Georgia 1:1 at home, and Popescu got a point before the end.
England qualified directly in Group 9. At the request of the German Football Association, the English Football Association moved the game forward so that the two games would kick off at the same time. Bad luck persisted at the Schalke Stadium, and Biehoff hit twice
In the middle of the goal frame, his other shot 5 meters away from the goal also hit the goalkeeper's knee. Old Trafford was good at reversals. In the 36th and 69th minutes, Greek forwards Charisdis and Nikolaidis took advantage of the goalkeeper's knee.
O. Ferdinand made two fatal mistakes and exceeded the score twice. In the 68th minute, Beckham took a free kick, and veteran Sheringham, who played for less than 1 minute, headed the ball to equalize for England. In the injury time period, England
At 3 minutes, the game in Germany ended. England was still trailing 1:2. If the score was maintained until the end, Germany would directly qualify. At this moment, England got a free kick from 25 meters away. The previous 7 penalty kicks were all in vain.
Beckham kicked a curve ball and flew directly into the upper right corner of the goal. England qualified directly with this golden goal.
After the final round of the European qualifying rounds, the first round of the play-offs for the second place in the group will be held on November 10th and 11th, and the second round will be held on November 14th. The matches are: Belgium vs. the Czech Republic, and Ukraine vs.
Germany, Austria or Hungary will face Turkey, and Slovenia will face Romania. Ireland will face off against the third place in the top ten in Asia. The two-legged matches are scheduled for November 10th and 15th.
The ninth round of the Central and North American and Caribbean Division kicked off on the 7th. As a result, the underdog Trinidad and Tobago team, which had no hope of qualifying, suffered a big upset in this round and defeated the recent away team 1:0.
The Honduras team is in good condition. The result of this game has caused a huge change in the qualifying situation of the Central and North American and Caribbean Division. Because in the other two games, the American team defeated the Jamaican team 2:1, and the American team had already qualified in advance.
The Costa Rica team shook hands with the Mexico team 0:0. After the end of this round, the Costa Rica team continued to lead with 20 points. The United States team rose to the second place with 16 points. Mexico and Honduras both had 1 points.
14 points, but the Mexican team has an advantage in goal difference. This makes the originally bright qualifying situation of the Honduras team become quite bleak. In the 2002 World Cup, there were three tickets for the North American and Caribbean divisions. Due to the fact that in the final round
In the game, the Mexican team will meet the Honduras team, so no matter what the result of the game, the American team will ensure the top three positions. The team becomes the second team in this division to qualify early after the Costa Rica team. Currently, Central and North America and
The third qualifying spot in the Caribbean Division will be between Mexico and Honduras. The Mexican team, which plays at home in the last round of the game, can qualify by virtue of its goal difference as long as it ensures a tie, while the Honduras team can only qualify if it wins.
It is expected that the dream of entering the World Cup finals will come true.
In the 16th round of the South American qualifiers, Paraguay and Argentina shook hands. Argentina qualified first in the group, and Paraguay secured second place in the group. It only needs one point in the next two rounds to qualify. Ecuador defeated Bolivia 5:1
, ranked third, the same situation as Paraguay. Brazil defeated Chile 2:0 and secured its fourth position in the group. Qualification is in sight. Uruguay, a traditional South American giant, drew with Colombia 1:1 at home and ranked fifth in the group.
, the hope of directly qualifying has become very slim, but there is still hope to compete with Australia for South America's fifth World Cup ticket. The Colombian team has 21 points, and there is still a glimmer of light. The key depends on the results of the last two games.
.According to regulations, the top four in the South American division directly participate in the World Cup finals, and the fifth place competes with the Australian team for another qualification. Currently, Argentina ranks first in South America and has already qualified. Ecuador, Paraguay and Brazil have great hopes of directly qualifying.
Uruguay and Colombia are competing for fifth place. Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela and Chile will definitely be eliminated. However, Venezuela defeated Peru 3:0 and won three consecutive victories. For the first time, it got rid of the bad luck of being at the bottom of the previous World Cup qualifying points and made historic progress.
Also making historic progress is the Chinese team in Asia. The Chinese team, which has not reached the World Cup finals in 40 years, finally defeated Oman 1:0 in the penultimate round of the top ten Asian games and qualified two rounds ahead of schedule.
The long-term expectation of the World Cup is over. After 6 unremitting efforts, this time it was finally successful. The Chinese team’s victory in this game made the Chinese team the first Asian team to qualify for the 2002 World Cup. The game has just ended.
China has become a sea of joy. In the Wulihe Stadium in Shenyang, fans chanted the names of the Chinese team and head coach Milu. In Beijing, 500,000 people went to ** Square to celebrate the victory. The grand event was the only one to celebrate the successful bid for the 2008 Olympic Games.
The scale is comparable. Sanlitun Bar Street is filled with carnival fans, setting off firecrackers, blowing trumpets, waving Chinese flags, and celebrating the Chinese team's victory.
The Chinese team's qualification is also exciting to FIFA, because this World Cup will become the largest participating country and region in history. The importance of the Chinese team's qualification can only be compared with that of the United States team's right to the finals. (
The AFC website pointed out in the article "The Chinese Team Qualified" that Yu Genwei's goal in the 36th minute sent more than 50,000 fans at the scene and hundreds of millions of Chinese fans in front of the TV into ecstasy, and the world
The world's most populous country has finally shed its label as a "football backward country".
Agence France-Presse broadcast a report titled "Football Enters the World Cup, Chinese Fans Revel in the Streets." The article pointed out that after years of hard work and repeated failures, the Chinese team finally qualified for the World Cup finals.
With the Chinese team qualifying two rounds ahead of schedule, the overall situation in Group B of the top ten has suddenly become clear. But the competition for second place in the group is still very fierce. The United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Uzbekistan all have a glimmer of hope.
Currently, the UAE team is temporarily leading with 10 points from 7 games; Qatar is closely followed with 9 points from 7 games; Uzbekistan is third with 7 points from 6 games. According to the game schedule, the Uzbek team starts the war first. They
They beat Oman 5-0 at home, but victory is still not guaranteed in an away game. Due to weather and personnel restrictions, the level of the Uzbek team also fluctuates greatly. They must win away from home and have a sufficient goal difference.
The next game is the Chinese team's home game against the Qatar team. The Chinese team, which has already qualified, will not let the Qatar team go at home. Everyone from the coach to the players seems to be gearing up, and they vow to wash away the shame that the Qatar team has brought to them.
It seems that it will be difficult for the Qatar team to get 3 points in Shenyang. The match between the UAE team and the Oman team is a key match. If the UAE team defeats the Oman team, which is at the bottom of the points, at home on October 19, then the Qatar team will not be able to win against China.
Regardless of the team's performance in the game, they have obviously withdrawn from the competition. Because the highest score for becoming second in this group is only 13 points. If the Uzbek team defeats the Oman team in the away game, they will have the opportunity to compete with the United Arab Emirates.
The UAE team once tied with the Oman team in an away game. The two teams have relatively similar characteristics and are equally strong. The difference lies in the professional quality of the players. However, it is easy for West Asian teams to fall into a strange circle. They are not strong enough to compete with each other.
Weak transitions are also very frequent. The last game was the Uzbek team playing against the Chinese team at home. There is a possibility of the Uzbek team winning at home in this game, but it is unrealistic to get a huge goal difference.
The situation in Group A of the top ten has come out of confusion. The Saudi team, which has played one more game, currently leads the list with a 2-point advantage, while the Iranian team behind them is showing great momentum.
The Iranian team currently has 12 points and has two games left. One is against Iraq at home on October 12, and the other is against Bahrain on October 19. Although the Iranian team once defeated Iraq 1:0 in an away game in Baghdad.
team, but they did encounter stubborn resistance and the game was very difficult. Another opponent, the Bahrain team, was also very difficult to deal with. The Bahrain team once tied the Iranian team 0:0 in Tehran, the capital of Iran. Facts have proved that the Iranian team
Facing some technically sophisticated teams such as Bahrain and Thailand, there are not many solutions and they are often unable to organize effective attacks. Madavekia in the team has been in mediocre form and has no feeling at all from the top ten games in 1997. The top star Ali?
Dai has not shown the ability to be the best forward in Asia at all. If they want to qualify directly from this group, they must win the remaining two games. In this way, they can ensure nothing is missed.
In comparison, the situation of the Saudi team is relatively optimistic. They currently have 14 points in hand, and for them, now they can only wait. Because the last home game against Thailand is on October 20.
It is the last day of the top ten games. If the Iranian team defeats Iraq and Bahrain and accumulates 18 points, then the Saudi team, regardless of the outcome of the last game, will compete with the second place in Group A for the playoffs with the Irish team in Europe.
Qualification. If the Iranian team achieves a record of one win, one draw and 16 points, then the Saudi team must defeat the final opponent, the Thai team, in order to qualify. The strength of the Thai team is also lower than that of the Saudi team. It should be reasonable for the Saudi team to win at home.
However, what the Saudi team hopes most now is that the Iranian team cannot achieve two wins. They can only wait before defeating the Thai team.
