110 The Summer of Germany Getting Better
With the end of the eighth match day of the World Cup in Germany, the Pampas Eagles Argentina team and the Tulip Legion Netherlands team staged a good show of "the group of death does not die". Replicating their magic in the World Cup qualifiers, the young and inexperienced African elephants were powerless to stop the progress of Argentina and the Netherlands. So far, two more World Cup teams broke into the top 16 of the knockout round.
After the hustle and bustle of Group C fell, in the last game of the eighth match day, the Mexicans unexpectedly drew with Angola 0-0, which allowed Angola, an African team, to retain the hope of entering the top 16. Central and North America The Peppers could have secured the qualifying spot in advance, but now, they have to fight against the morale-boosting Golden Generation of Portugal in the final game.
The World Cup in Germany is getting more and more exciting. The defending champion Argentina is showing off its champions. Other European giants are not far behind. Relying on Deco's lore, Portugal will beat the Asian team in the first game of the ninth match day. Iran sent back to West Asia!
And so far, another team broke through the group stage of the World Cup in Germany in 2006, and the strong return of the Portuguese, who had experienced a miserable experience in 2002, also opened up the strong attack of the rich team! The World Cup in Germany in 2006 was a very unpopular World Cup. In 2002, the European giants who encountered misfortune in the Far East were eager to prove themselves in Europe, and they did not give the weaker teams a chance.
The ninth match day of the World Cup in Germany in 2006 was a weird match day. In Group E, the Apennine concrete Italy, which used offensive football to defeat Ghana in the first game, turned out to be the second game against the US team. Gotta be conservative.
The Americans, who were defeated by the Czechs in the first game, became more and more active.
The silence of the game was broken in the 22nd minute of the first half. Gilardino, who was playing the violin, received a header from Pirlo's free kick and opened the door for the Italians to win! Just as the Italian fans celebrated the goal, thinking that their team would be unstoppable and advance to the qualifying stage, a weird scene took place.
The U.S. team hit a harmless set-piece to the back of Italy. The Italian defender, the handsome Zacardo, accidentally kicked the ball into his own goal when he made a clearance.
Buffon and all the Italian fans and teammates looked at Zacardo in disbelief. This is a clearance that can only be scored 10,000 times with one kick!
The Americans were lucky to equalize the score, but the weirdness of the game did not end. In the 40th minute of the first half, De Rossi elbowed McBryan of the US team in a header fight. The referee on duty showed De Rossi a red card!
No one knows what De Rossi was thinking at that moment. Does the Italian midfield star hate Americans too much? While his fierce elbow got him a red card, it also ushered in a new era in world football.
That is to strictly punish malicious fouls such as elbow strikes and swinging arms. De Rossi is not the last one, but in this weird game, he must pay the price for his actions.
It's a pity that the Americans' superiority in numbers didn't last long. In the next game, the referee showed red cards for the two back tackles of the American team. From ten to eleven to ten to nine, the Italian Without winning the final victory in this weird game, Silver Fox Lippi couldn't understand the process of the game until the end of the game.
This is a game that no one can understand. It seems that there is a big hand dominating the game. This is an incredible game.
The weirdness continues. In the last game of the ninth match day, the Czech team, who played a strong offensive football in their first game, was accidentally overturned by the young Ghana. Fans who watched this game None of us could understand why the Czechs played so conservatively. They didn't think of a counterattack until they fell behind zero to two. The young and more impactful Ghana had the last laugh. The Ghanaians, who were abused by the Italians in the first game, showed their spirit.
The weird ninth match day, the weird Group E, the unexpected draw of the Italians and the loss of the Czechs made it impossible to imagine that Italy and the Czech Republic would qualify in advance and join forces in the final round of victory. The Czechs And Italy must fight in the final game to decide their own fate.

With the progress of the World Cup, the Argentine team has started recovery training. There are still a few days before their match against the Netherlands. Bielsa has formulated a rigorous battle plan for the Argentine team. The Dutch want to be conservative, but Argentina The team is not just looking forward to a draw.
Just as the Argentine team was preparing for the final match of the World Cup group match, the tenth match day of the German summer began.
The Samba Corps, which has a fantastic quartet, is on the stage again. They are superior in this game against the Australian Kangaroo Australia led by the magical Guus Hiddink. In the last 10 minutes, when Japan was behind Japan and the situation could not be opened, he used his last effort to break through the defense of the Asian overlord Japan team in the last ten minutes and completed a 3-1 reversal.
However, Hiddink's magic disappeared in the second game against Brazil. Although Brazil's superstars were in a mediocre state, they still won the game easily.
With a clean score of 2-0, the Selecao secured their place in the group stage after two consecutive victories, and they entered the round of 16.
Just after the Brazil team qualified for the World Cup, the second game on the tenth match day made fans all over the world feel the strange atmosphere of the German summer of 2006 again. In Waterloo, Zidane, the core of the team, will definitely miss the last game of the French team's group stage because of his late yellow card (received two consecutive yellow cards).
Could this match at the Leipzig World Cup Stadium be Zidane's finale? At the same time, just after the French team was tied by the South Korean team, reports of conflicts within the French team flooded the sky.
"Without Zidane's suspension, the French team in the previous life would not have reached the end of this World Cup." The next day, while eating breakfast and watching reports about the French team, Leon couldn't help thinking.
This is indeed a weird World Cup, because the last goal of the French team's group match happened to be Zidane's birthday. At that time, the French team, which had both games tied at the time, had to beat Togo by more than two goals in order to qualify. Destiny is in your own hands.
Coincidentally, Switzerland did not relax in the other game against South Korea, because the Europeans would not forget the shame and humiliation that the Koreans gave them four years ago, so the Swiss kicked Taijihu out of the top 16 with the anger of the Europeans. .
And because of Zidane's suspension and Zidane's birthday, the big names in the French team finally let go of their personal grievances, and the united French team in 1998 is back. And the rise of Franck Ribery has allowed the French to gain another new core of their own.
The 2006 World Cup was indeed a legendary World Cup. When all kinds of coincidences continue to come together, then it is not a coincidence, it is a legend.
Of course, at this time, people are wondering whether the French team will repeat the humiliation in South Korea four years ago. After all, the French team at this moment is suffering from internal and external troubles.
The last game of the tenth match day of the German Summer is the match between the Swiss team and Togo. The Swiss team has taken the initiative to qualify after beating Togo 2-0, because they have won Togo more than the Korean team One goal, so as long as they don't lose to South Korea in the last game, they can qualify smoothly.

Before the smoke of the tenth match day cleared, the curtain of the eleventh match day began. There were only two games on this match day, and this match day would be the last two matches of the second round of the World Cup group stage .
In their first show, the Matador Corps, which had bloodbathed Ukraine four to zero, once again showed their strength. The growing Spanish players such as Villa, Torres, and Iniesta supported this young Matador Corps .
Three to one, after running over Tunisia, the Matador Legion has already reached the top sixteen! They have also become another top-line team, and in another game of this group, Saudi Arabia, which was defeated by the German team in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, suffered a 0-8 tragedy. top of the team.
They were bloodbathed by Ukraine with four goals... Ukraine also became a unique team in this World Cup. After being bloodbathed by Spain in the first game, they played the same score again in the second game. The tragedy of Saudi Arabia, this team composed of players from the Saudi domestic league proved a truth, football needs diversified development, football cannot rest on its laurels, although the Saudi league is the best league in Asia, their domestic Ittihad Won the AFC Champions League for the first time. However, the center of world football is in Europe, and the most advanced tactics are in Europe, which is higher, faster and stronger.
So many years later, when the Japanese league continued to export its young players to Europe for free, the Chinese Super League, which was starting to recover at that time, kept making jokes, such as the joke that Shanghai Shenhua asked Inter Milan for 30 million yuan from Wang Dalei, and why a certain international footballer wanted to go. To play football abroad, you have to pay your wages out of your own pocket and terminate the contract with the team before you can go abroad... These are all jokes.
Football needs to go out, football needs diversification, football needs characteristics.
Because it is not a sport that a certain country can monopolize, this is the number one sport in the world!
