tenth
17. The group stage starts in full swing
As soon as the opening game started, the two sides started to attack each other. The game was very fierce, making the fans at the scene and in front of the TV excited.
The South African team is playing at home. With the encouragement of South African fans, the South African team is not timid on the court and performs very often. However, as time goes by, the Mexican team, a frequent visitor to the World Cup, has established a certain advantage.
The Mexican team is obviously much more experienced than the South African team. They are very comfortable playing, while the South African team is arranging to compete with the Mexican team. In this way, the South African team's players run more and fight more actively.
It consumes more physical energy.
In the first half of the game, both sides created some opportunities, but neither of them took advantage of them, and the game ended 0-0.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Mexican team still continued their advantage in the first half, and their offensive became sharper, gradually starting to take control of the game.
However, in the tenth minute of the second half, the home team South Africa stole the ball in the midfield. After two consecutive simple passes in the middle, the players in the midfield found the gap and kept passing the ball through the Mexican national team's defense line.
Chabalala came in at high speed, and like a Mercedes-Benz Ferrari sports car, it suddenly surpassed Mexico's defense line, entered the penalty area from the corner of the penalty area, took a step inside the penalty area, and volleyed the football straight to the far corner of the Mexican goal.
The top end hit the net, and the host South Africa team took the lead by one goal.
The entire Football City Stadium was boiling instantly, and the South African fans were so excited that the sound of the vuvuzelas echoed through the sky, making the Mexican players want to plug their ears.
The Mexican team was given the lead by its opponents despite having the advantage, which made the Mexican fans very unwilling. The Mexican players were also unwilling. The Mexican team immediately attacked like crazy. The South African team started to play.
Defensive counterattack.
The Mexican team's offense seemed very threatening, but in fact it was difficult to threaten the fans of the South African team. As time went by, the time left in the game became less and less, but the Mexican team became more and more anxious, playing no matter what.
It's almost out of order.
The fans of the South African team were very excited at the scene. They were only in the last few minutes before their first victory in the World Cup. They couldn't wait to celebrate the victory.
However, at the end of the game, when the Mexican team's forward Hernandez was unable to break into the South African team's penalty area, he suddenly took a long shot from the front of the penalty area. The football quickly passed through the South African team's defense.
, flew into the goal.
In the 88th minute of the game, the Mexican team relied on forward Hernandez's long-range shot to draw one-on-one with the host South Africa, and earned a point with difficulty.
This result is naturally unsatisfactory to the South Africans. They were only two minutes away from victory. Unfortunately, they were unlucky. If they win this game, the South African team will have a smoother path to qualifying.
At this time, the South Africans were not the most regretful. The most regrettable moment was when they saw the results of the other two teams in this group.
The other match in this group was between France and Uruguay. Before the match, everyone was very optimistic about the French team. They were the runner-up in the last World Cup and were very strong. They were recognized as the top team in this group.
, has already secured the right to qualify for a group.
But the French team disappointed everyone in this game. They had very few chances in this game. On the contrary, the Uruguay team played very well. If it weren't for the Uruguayans' ability to seize opportunities, the French team would have been defeated by Uruguay.
People poked several holes.
In the end, the French team held Uruguay to a difficult 0-0 draw and got the first chance of this World Cup.
Seeing this result, the South Africans are really very sorry. If, if the South African team can persist in the first game, they will be able to get three points and qualify after the first round of the group stage.
First in the group, the most important thing is that their points are two points higher than all their opponents.
It is a pity that the South Africans themselves did not seize the opportunity, and there is no one to blame.
Qiu Ze watched these two games in front of the TV. For these two games, Qiu Ze felt that they did not show all the standards of the four teams. Many factors affected their performance. But there is one thing that Qiu Ze knows very well.
, this French team is definitely not good.
Although the outside world is generally optimistic about the French team, after Qiu Ze saw the performance of the French team, he believed that it would be very difficult for the French team to qualify from this group. Even if they qualified from the group, it would not be possible in the knockout rounds.
What a good performance.
There are many problems with this French team. Now in Qiu Ze's view, this Group A is more like a group of death, even more deadly than their group, because the four teams in Group A are all capable of starting from
For those who qualify in the group, four teams compete for two spots, which is very deadly.
In their group, there was at least one Korean team that gave away points, so Qiu Ze believed that this group A was even more deadly.
With the end of Group A, the World Cup in South Africa has really arrived. The four teams in the second group also appeared on the next day. The first game of this group was between the South Korean team and the Greek team.
Now this Greek team is no longer the Greek team eight years ago. Their strength is not very outstanding. So the Korean team from Asia performed very well in this game. The first half only started six minutes ago.
, the South Korean team had to Li Zhengxiu receive the corner kick in the penalty area and directly shoot the goal, leading 1-0.
When the game was interrupted in the second half, Manchester United star Park Ji-sung stole the ball in the middle and ran with the ball at high speed into the Greek team's penalty area. Facing the attacking Greek goalkeeper, he succeeded in pushing the ball into the far corner. The Korean team won 2-0.
The Greek team got a good start.
The performance of the South Korean team really impressed everyone. Although there were only two goals in the game, the advantages they showed in terms of tactical thinking and physical fitness still surprised everyone. They believed that the South Korean team would definitely be the only one in this group.
Another qualifying team besides Argentina.
The second game of the second group was between Argentina and Nigeria. The Argentina national team and the Nigeria team still have some connections. They have met in the World Cup and Olympic Games, and the two sides are
There is a winner and a loser, so this game is worth looking forward to.
The current Argentina team is very outstanding, with six great peaks in hand, and the genius of Messi. However, the Argentina national team's World Cup debut was not successful, although they relied on a direct free kick from Veron to win.
Defeated Nigeria with a score of zero.
Because the process of the game did not satisfy everyone, Nigeria performed better during the game, and they got more opportunities. They created chaos three times in front of the Argentine national team's goal, and almost scored three times, and even had
Not even a single opportunity to face an empty goal was seized.
Of course, the Nigeria team also scored a goal in the game, but it was called offside by the referee and the goal was invalid. However, it can be seen from the slow motion that the goal of the Nigeria team was not offside. If the goal was not a misjudgment
, then this game may have another result. Let alone victory, even if it is a draw, the Argentine national team may not be able to get it.
That’s why everyone is so dissatisfied with this game. Everyone’s expectations for the Argentina national team are very high, but unfortunately this performance is not very good? And Messi, who is attracting everyone’s attention, continued his previous performance in the national team.
It can be said that this game was a poor performance.
This greatly disappointed those fans who support the Argentine national team, and they also expressed concerns about the future of the Argentine national team.
Of course, Qiu Ze also watched this day's game. To be honest, the South Korean team made Qiu Ze's eyes brighter. The South Korean team entered the state relatively early and performed at a good level, although they may not necessarily be able to enter the World Cup.
However, Qiu Ze believes that it should be very easy for them to enter the quarterfinals of the World Cup. If they work harder and have better luck, they may not be able to enter the quarterfinals of the World Cup.
As for the Argentine team, Qiu Ze thinks it’s too early to say anything. The Argentine national team has strength. Qiu Ze is very convinced. They just haven’t shown it yet. If the Argentine national team can enter the next round of competition,
In terms of form, the Argentina national team is also a potentially very dangerous opponent.
Yes, at this time, the Portuguese national team is paying attention to the situation in other groups. They have now set their sights on the knockout rounds. They are very confident that they can qualify from the group.
Next is the third group. This third group is a relatively easy group. The England national team really got the lottery. Everyone in this group thinks that the England national team will join hands with the American team to qualify.
Algeria and Slovenia cannot pose any threat to them at all.
The players of the England national team and the United States team naturally thought so too. In the first round of the group, these two teams faced each other directly. Both teams regarded this game as a battle for the top spot in the group and tried their best to win.
They fought to win, but the result was indeed a draw, with both sides getting one point.
Both sides are actually not very satisfied with this result, but they can still accept it because they don't think the other two teams in this group can pose any threat to them.
Indeed, the experience of another match in the group also confirmed their judgment. The strength of these two teams is indeed not very good, and it is difficult for them to threaten the opponent's goal. However, Slovenia was very lucky. They were very lucky in the second half of the game.
When they got a chance for a corner kick, after the corner kick was taken, the Algerian goalkeeper made a mistake in attacking the ball. When the football hit the goalkeeper's palm, it flew into the goal. With this lucky ball, Slovenia won 1-0 and was temporarily ranked.
First place in this group.
Although Slovenia is now ranked first in the group, neither the American team nor the England team believes that the Slovenia team can pose any threat to their qualifying situation. They can easily defeat Slovenia. They firmly believe that in the second round,
After that, Slovenia will fall from the first place in the group and be pinned down by them.
The games of the first three groups are over, and there are some upsets, but they are basically within the acceptable range of everyone.
The next step is the fourth group match. In this group there is the German team that won the championship. Everyone is very concerned about this match. Of course, Qiu Ze and the Portuguese national team are also very concerned about this match. They want to see it.
The true strength of the German team.
