France, after all, could not escape the curse of the defending champions.

Ten minutes later, the referee blew the final whistle for the end of the match.

Defending champion, upset to Mexico.

Fell outside the door of the quarterfinals.

After the game, Deschamps and his disciples walked inside and applauded to thank the fans.

Conde, Joan Armeni, Nkunku and Konat sat on the turf and cried.

Their first World Cup journey ended like this.

Fans on the sidelines frantically booed the French manager.

Although he is a Chelsea celebrity, in the distant Komba viewing room, everyone can't help but criticise him.

It was his several failed substitutions that changed the course of the game.

Holding a good hand, but playing sparsely.

"This idiot, I'm really convinced." In the club's coaching staff, there were also several old gentlemen who worked with the French in the team, and they even cursed.

But that's football.

On this night, some rejoice and some worry.

On the other side, Argentina swept their opponents 6-0 to equalize the score of the 06 World Cup against Serbia and Herzegovina.

So, after the first knockout matchday.

European teams were all eliminated, which also made a new history.

......

The next day, breaking news hit the world's headlines.

An extreme hacker hacked into the headquarters computer room of the World Cup organizing committee.

They set up a poll post and posted it on major social platforms.

[Should the World Cup knockout round be revised?] Say NO] to the simultaneous opening of the race]

This post caused an uproar.

99% of the fans chose that the time should be modified.

It is believed that the 1 per cent of the voters.

It should be the organizing committee itself, and some of the fans who bought tickets.

Therefore, for a while, the news that the World Cup Organizing Committee would hold an interim meeting broke out.

FIFA President Mr. Infantino was also present.

No one knew exactly what was going on at the meeting, except that in the media, the chairman harshly criticized the Qatar organizing committee.

.......

At the same time, the Komba base welcomed another friendly match.

They will take on the challenge of the port city of Portsmouth.

Qin Xi did not start, and Zike finally got the qualification to start.

The friendly was good and Tuchel did not demand too much from his players.

He knows that everyone is eating this big melon from the World Cup organizing committee.

Since last season, when the European knockout draw was mistaken, this time, even the World Cup has had a series of problems.

Qin Xi couldn't help but think that if his motherland hosted the World Cup, according to Hua Guo's ability to do things, he would be able to run the competition well.

Unless, Niu Junjie becomes the head of the World Cup.

After the game, just as everyone was changing clothes in the dressing room, a bombshell news appeared on everyone's mobile phones.

The World Cup organising committee announced that it will adjust part of the match time for the remaining five matches in the eighth-eighth knockout round.

The European derby between England and the Netherlands remains unchanged and will be played later in the morning.

Germany and Morocco will determine the fifth quarter-finalist tonight.

Brazil and Portugal, which were scheduled to play at the same time as the evening today, will play tomorrow morning.

.......

As soon as the announcement came out, it caused an uproar.

Many fans who bought tickets took to the streets of Qatar to protest the act.

Although the World Cup organizing committee has stated that it will replace tickets for fans free of charge.

Travel expenses, accommodation expenses, will change due to changes in the schedule.

"It's like a child's play, like the Champions League final six months ago." In the dressing room, everyone was talking about it.

"It's been a strange year, first with a major bug in the Champions League knockout draw, a delay in the final, then a two-week postponement of the World Cup due to security issues, and finally even a change in the knockout time. These leaders, who are in charge of the lifeblood of world football, can occasionally get confused. "Jorginho doesn't think it's too big to see the excitement.

Thinking that Italy did not qualify for the World Cup, he was a little gloating.

"Captain, do you think that the last thing that should be is that four-star Italy cannot participate in the World Cup?" Qin Xi quickly responded to Jorginho's words.

"You brat... Look I don't clean you up! "

......

In the afternoon, the much-anticipated England starting list was freshly baked.

In the major pubs in England and the Netherlands, a large number of fans gather.

Solidarity with their national team.

In this game, Mount and James started.

Benzier Chilwell and Gallagher were on the bench.

The Netherlands sent their strongest squad.

In the 2019 UEFA Nations League semifinals, the Netherlands eliminated England 3-1.

Southgate also wants to complete, revenge on the Orange.

......

But soon after the start of the game, James's injury made everyone in the viewing room feel worried.

England right-back was tackled by Dutch midfielder De Jonen.

After the team doctor entered the field, he made a substitution gesture towards the sidelines.

The group in front of the screen looked at Tuchel on the side.

He slumped in his chair, looking extremely helpless.

Reese. James, but Chelsea's right-wing engine.

If Chelsea were an airplane, James was the engine on the right.

As you can see, his injuries are somewhat serious.

Tuchel is very worried that he will be out for a long time.

At the moment, there are no good right-backs on the market.

This foul also stimulated the fighting spirit of the English.

After coming off the bench, Arnold played a different role than James.

His passes are more precise and have more range.

But the problem of losing position easily made fans sweat.

At half-time, the score was frozen at 0:0.

Neither team showed their best.

As soon as the second half began, Foden came on and replaced Mason Mount.

This substitution also made the people in the viewing room very puzzled.

In this way, the two Chelsea players who started were all replaced.

That Southgate, known as the "Chelsea staff", appears to have lost patience with the Chelsea players.

"Don't worry, Gallagher and Chilwell still have a chance to appear."

Looking at the extremely excited Zike and Echoi beside him, Qin Xi quickly comforted.

He understands that both English players love their national team.

Although unable to travel with the team, he was turned away by Southgate.

But they still hope that the team can achieve a good result.

......

In the 60th minute of the game, England escaped.

Luke Shaw defends Dutch striker Depay in the box, who goes down.

The referee started by awarding a penalty.

But the video assistant referee intervened, and it turned out that Depay was offside before receiving the ball.

"Hurry up and replace Chilwell! He's better than Luke Shaw! In

the viewing room, everyone expressed their dissatisfaction with Southgate's employment.

The sidelines were directed, as if hearing their monologue.

Focusing the camera on Chilwell, he didn't move, but Gallagher on the side had already changed his clothes.

"Look, it looks like Gallagher is ready to appear!" Qin Xi shouted excitedly.
