When we head south on the way back to Cape Town with Italy, the second game was another game in Group A, which quietly ended.**-**//

Switzerland c: Ecuador shakes hands and makes peace, but the game is not at all harmonious. The referee Roberto Rossetti from Italy showed a total of 2 red cards and 5 yellow cards in this game...

...

After returning to Cape Town, Xiangnan also watched a group B game with the whole team in a hall of the Hilton Hotel at 20:00 in the evening, England vs. Costa Rica, which is also the first giant team to debut in this World Cup...

England's header with Husky, 1: Central and North America and Galle championships. However, when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Capello's face was not good-looking. In fact, in this game, Costa Rica's performance in this game was better than the Three Lions. If Costa Rica's striker had not been too bad, England would probably have had the biggest upset since the start of the game... And a header from veteran Husky who came on the bench also highlighted the problem of England's weak attack...

...

In the training volume on June 11, Lippi tried the forward combination of Xiangnan and Yaqunta. The effect was average. Although the two were not very tacit, they could still make some cooperation. Especially after Xiangnan received Pirlo's straight pass, he faked the real pass and deceived Gambellini. Yaqunta, who was cognizant, made a successful shot at the empty goal, which also won a lot of applause from the Italian record at the scene...

...

On June 11, Portugal debuted at the Elis Park Stadium in Johannesburg. In this game, Cristiano Ronaldo shone with stars and scored twice. In addition, there was an assist to Atletico Madrid forward Simon to play an empty goal. Since the start of the World Cup, the first massacre was born... The final result of the game was on the electronic scoreboard of the Elis Park Stadium in Johannesburg, it seemed like the Crusaders were carrying the blood cross sword---

Portugal 5: Nice!!

...

Two games in Group C were also launched on the 11th ---

France 1:2 Russia, the first unpopular since the start of the game, is uh... in fact, it can't be said to be unpopular. The French team has been in the world competition in recent years. It's like their coach's name is "Do not underwear". Gurkov scored a goal in France to save face. Russian Tsar Jerkov became the team's hero. One pass and one shot... The Russian European Cup in 2008, Russia showed its hideous fangs... To be honest, Hiddink's team can always create surprises. Of course, the referee-based team in 2002 is not counted...

In another game, Bala 1:1 Ghana. After the round of the game, the national team ranked last in Group C. A surprise was not too big...

**********

Another big news on the 11th was that before the World Cup group draw ceremony began, I had a special talk about the prospects of the powerful in the World Cup. On the third day of coming to South Africa, I finally couldn't help it...

"Mr. Be, you have predicted that France, Portugal, Argentina, and Italy will be the semi-finals of this Cup... Now, France loses the round, and it may even be eliminated in the group..." The question was a record of the Times in England, but, look, the guy's eyes could not hide the expression of gloating... Everyone on earth knows that when Bailey uttered a big mouth and said the names of these four teams, in addition to the fans of the Four Nations crying and cursing, both the English and Brazilians cheered...

"The first game was an accident. I think the French team will beat Paraguay and Ghana to qualify with a score of 2:3:1..."

Before Pele finished speaking, all the French Records present were dissatisfied. They looked at the English tabloid with a smirk with resentment. Of course, the impression of the King of Football Pele has long been bad... In the words of a French Record, 'This is simply to kill the French team...'

"French Football" The record Gusri glared at the English colleague with hatred, of course he was unwilling to give up. "Mr. Bailey, when you predicted last time, the World Cup draw had not come out yet. Now, do you think some teams may even make it to the semifinals due to the schedule?"

"For example, Capello's England, in the qualifiers, they had a good result, and Spain..." Gusri was like a Satanic demon, smiling and reminding Bailey with a "kindness". However, as Gusri did not spit out a name in his mouth, England and Spain all opened their eyes wide open... Especially when he was watching the lively Spanish story, he looked angry and thought to himself, Spain has been making trouble for you...

The Brazilian football king obviously noticed the strange atmosphere at the scene. Fortunately, Bailey's black face could not tell how he reacted. After pretending to be contemplative, Mr. Bailey quickly spoke a long list of words, and his speech was astonishingly fast, which made people admire the old man's lung capacity--

"Yes, Spain is the European champion, and England is more resilient in Capello's hands... Torres is an excellent scorer, Rooney, I have always admired it... I think that once an accident occurs in Group G, these two teams will have hope, reaching the semi-finals, and even the finals..."

In the scene, except for the story of Italy and Argentina of the Death Group, which was always wearing sad and angry moods, watching the excitement and surprises, both the story of England and Spain were ashamed... However, this is not the end--

"And Denmark, this is a team with a good lineup. I think Denmark will be a surprise for this World Cup,... They have the strength to create 'Danish fairy tales'..."

As soon as this said, the Danish Record, who was secretly happy, was stunned. No one expected that Mr. Beth's thinking would jump so quickly, and he would suddenly pull from Spain and England to the Denmark that was full of defiance... The "Danish Fairy Tale" looked sad and angry...

**********

Xiangnan and the Italian national team teammates saw Mr. Bailey's news report on the 12th...

Media around the world also gave Mr. Bei a very proud person, and put the latest predictions of Mr. Bei apart in important periods...

Xiangnan clearly felt that Grosso and Cannavaro around him seemed to be relaxed

It was so angry, and not far away, the Italian national team head coach Mr. Lippi,|The room was so happy to enjoy the cigar...

Method: Mr. Bei’s crow mouth is so powerful. It is not easy to escape from Mr. Bei’s soul-chasing blacklist...

...

With a relaxed mood, Xiangnan and the Italian team watched the game on the 12th. The first game started, Spain faced Ukraine at the Nelson-Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth...

...

After 90 minutes, the players of the Italian national team, including Xiangnan, were all shuddered. Mr. Beth's crow mouth was so lethal... The second tragedy of this World Cup occurred----

As the most capable team that has been popular with Pele, the team that reached the finals, Spain had a ball possession rate of 65% in the whole game and a 12:3 shot ratio, and Ukraine finally succeeded by a sneak attack. C:1 lost in the game... This is not counting, Tristan missed a penalty...

When the Spanish were crying, the Spanish media was not willing to be knocked down by the sudden curse of the black-faced old man--

"There are two more games left, against the United States and Japan. As long as we swing half of the European Cup, we can win two consecutive victories..."

"As" even issued a slogan "Quan is not a luxury... We are still alive..."

The World News proposed its own evidence, ‘Didn’t England win in round 1:?… So, don’t worry too much… superstitious thoughts are undesirable…’

However, the Biyava, who said this, was also feeling guilty... It seemed that when Mr. Bey said this, the England game had already ended...

...

The Ukrainian players celebrating crazy in the TV screen and Puyol's depressed face...

Xiangnan was also banned and touched his forehead. Thinking about the Italian team that was released by Mr. Bei yesterday...

"Gian Luigi, this..." Xiangnan patted Buffon on the shoulder, "Is this considered escaping from death..."

...

In another game in Group D, the United States defeated the Japanese team 2:1 and occupied the top spot in the group...

...

In the evening, a game of f~ was played,

**********

On the evening of the 12th, the Italian national team held a routine press conference...

"Andre, what do you think of Côte d'Ivoire? Will you score a goal in this game?" Asked ~ Miss Alice, a reporter from "Sports in Milan", as a beautiful lady, she is a focus in the news hall...

Alice is now Ximang's fiancée. The two of them have sparked love at some point... They have already talked about marriage... Xiangnan is very suspicious that her brother has the tendency to control his sister...

"Didier and Kalu were teammates when they were at Chelsea. Didier was my good friend. I know that Côte d'Ivoire is a difficult opponent. They have many big-name stars playing in top clubs, Arsenal's Ebue, Manchester City's Kloe-Toure, Barcelona's Yaya Toure, Keta is also a dangerous scorer... In short, they are not easy to deal with... Goals? Of course, we don't look forward to the arrival of goals in the World Cup..."

Facing his best friend's wife, Xiangnan had to treat her differently and answer the questions honestly...

...

In fact, Xiangnan is not saying politely. Côte d'Ivoire is an African team and has the largest territory in Europe. This is an African team with a somewhat Europeanization. Its strength cannot be underestimated...

**********

June 13, 2010, the fourth World Cup match day, the first match day of Group G, 17:...

The whole Italian team gathered in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel, and everyone was chatting in groups. Veterans like Pirlo and Buffon who had experienced the World Cup seemed very calm. They flipped through magazines on the sand or listened to music... World Cup rookies like Xiangnan and Giovanko could not hide their excitement... Walking around constantly, Giusepperossi was even more exaggerated and had gone to the toilet twice in a row...

In the other corner of the lobby, Lippi, who had just walked out of the elevator, was undergoing an interview before the game of "Sky Sports"...

Outside the Hilton Hotel and even the Cape Town Commercial Street, about thousands of Italian fans have come. Some of the fans are shirtless, wearing Italian flags, shouting slogans, and holding portraits of the stars... At the entrance of the hotel, there are hundreds of reporters... Today is the day for the defending champion to debut, and it is also the World Cup debut of the World Footballer and the European Footballer Mr. Tomorrow to the South. No matter which highlight is, it is undoubtedly extremely tempting!!!

Xiangnan was a little nervous. This was his first World Cup. It was impossible to say that he was not nervous... Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel, Xiangnan was a little nervous... The World Cup... has this... started?

Slap!!

After receiving the interview, Lippi brought the members of the coaching staff and clapped his hands, "Young guys, let's go!!!"

Everyone came back to their senses from all kinds of thoughts. Even the most experienced World Cup veteran Cannavaro looked expectant and solemn... The World Cup is about to begin!!!

Boom!!

Outside the hotel, it's boiling ~: It's already!!

The Italian national team players came out, and the fans shouted wildly to cheer for the team. Most of these fans were fans who had not bought tickets, so they had to wait outside the hotel and send the warmest applause and cheers to the team they supported before the game... The fans who bought tickets have already gone to the Green Penalty Stadium. Because the security checks for this World Cup are very strict, fans need to spend a lot of time checking the entry, so the fans will come outside the stadium several hours in advance to wait...

...

Sitting in the seat beside the window, opening the window to the south, and shouting outside the car window, the fans shouting wildly... gave a thumbs up... The scene was filled with joy...

World Cup, I'm here, are you ready?
