"Little Fatty Lu... stay and watch the football. Let's play mahjong by the way." After the game, Messi, as a good friend of Rooney, naturally had to step forward to comfort him.
There was no loser in this battle. At the last moment, Rooney got a header, but it was a damn goal post, a damn goal post again...
At the age of 29, how many times can he play in the World Cup? Rooney's face is full of gloom. At most, he can only play in one more World Cup, and he has to be in good condition and healthy, or he can only be a substitute...
…
Rooney's face is full of unwillingness and grievance
But who can blame this? If I had worked harder and controlled my emotions better when I was young, maybe my football life would have been rewritten again?
Rooney became famous before he was 18 years old, and he has been playing football until now. The club is considered very successful, but the results of the national team are really hard to show.
It seems that contemporary football superstars, including Messi and Ronaldo, the two top superstars, have not achieved good results in the national team. Maybe this is fate?
"Yes, we will avenge England in the senior group!" The winner takes all. Beckham can only place his hope in the senior group game, while the young group can only go home.
"Haha, what a big joke, can you beat Argentina in the senior group?" Batistuta burst into laughter...
In the next two days, the remaining top 16 teams also emerged.
Finally, the teams that reached the top 16 were Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Argentina, Sweden, Brazil, Mexico, Czech Republic, Belgium, Croatia, Chile, Russia, and Egypt.
Due to the grouping reasons, the Asian teams were completely wiped out...
Three South American teams appear
And there is another Mexico in North America
There is also a single African team, Egypt
European teams are still the main force, with eleven teams. Except for England, all the traditional strong teams have qualified.
On the scorer list, Ronaldo continues to refresh his total number of goals in the World Cup. As of the group stage, he has scored 18 goals. In other words, he has scored three goals in the first three group stage games...
Klose scored two goals, followed by 16 goals
Of course, Messi is currently the top scorer in this World Cup, leading with five goals.
Everyone can clearly see the next knockout rounds
Brazil vs. Egypt... people finally understand what it means to be a host. It’s a surprise again. After qualifying, it will be a smooth road.
The winner between them will face the winner of Belgium vs Russia
If their matchup after qualifying is scary, then look at the following group, they won't be shouting
Italy vs France, the winner will face the winner of Netherlands vs Mexico
Of course, other scenes are equally terrifying
Portugal vs Chile, the winner will face the winner of Spain vs Croatia
Germany vs Sweden, winner faces Argentina vs Czech Republic
"Damn, this is a conspiracy!" It was not one person who said this, but many people.
Of course, the one-sixteenth group is actually very good. Except for Italy vs. France, which is the highlight, the other teams are quite satisfied with the draw. What everyone is dissatisfied with is the quarter-finals after that...
However, among the teams that can reach the quarterfinals, which team is easy to deal with?
Only the Italians are really calling, if Italy beats France, then playing against Netherlands or Mexico will be scary
The Italians screamed, and the French were naturally in pain
As early as the last round of the group stage, everyone knew that Chen Long was back
Facing an Italian team with Chen Long?
Blanc, the current coach of the French team and one of the legendary stars in the history of French football, has a big head.
I also have to be a central defender, otherwise I would really be helpless against Italy!
In order to prepare for this World Cup, in order to avoid encountering Italy and Chenlong in the knockout round, Blanco, the defensive master, has long called back many good friends.
Among them are Juventus head coach Conte, Manchester City team technical manager legendary midfielder Vieira, etc. These people all have enough defensive experience in Serie A and naturally have a way to study defensive tactics.
Of course, the twin tactics invented by Stepelini himself have been transplanted to the French team by Blanco.
This move has never appeared again, just waiting for Chen Long to come to your door?!
Brazil takes the lead in the quarter-finals
Football Kingdom vs. Football Desert, the result is naturally no doubt
Ronaldo is having trouble again. People would rather see his hat trick to increase the total number of goals to 21 goals, surpassing Messi by one goal in the scorer list, instead of paying attention to the victory of the Brazilian team, because in Brazil
In people's eyes, if you can't even win Egypt, don't fantasize about winning the World Cup...
Two convulsive Youth Storm players from Belgium and Russia staged a goal battle. The score was 3 to 3 and entered overtime. In the end, it was Chelsea midfielder Hazard who scored the silver goal...
Before the game, everyone was optimistic about Russia, but it turned out that Belgium qualified. It seems that Belgium is about to return to its past glory.
"Belgium is like a team full of monsters. They are the dark horses of this World Cup." The news media couldn't wait to give them the title of dark horses.
But the Brazilian's response was quite domineering: "In the land of the football kingdom, no matter how evil you are, you must show your true colors..." This was said by Pele. Originally, Pele didn't take the lead, but he still couldn't help but do so.
The Brazilian Football Association had called Pele and had a long talk before, and specifically told him not to say that the Brazilian team is the champion, and it is best not to praise him in a word...
As a result, he still couldn't control his crow's mouth. Of course, this time he learned the lesson
"In my opinion, although Brazil has the power of home court, my opinion..." Now that Pele has spoken, he must say it until he feels comfortable, and the media reporters are also willing to let reporters speak, after all, his words can instantly
make headlines
When Pele was being interviewed, fans all over the world held their breath, fearing that the name of their favorite national team would pop out of his mouth.
Bailey was smiling in front of the screen, and as always, there was a sense of hidden danger in his smile.
Some fans whose hearts couldn't bear it squeezed out the reporter's space and shouted in front of him, telling him not to speak out at all.
But where does Bailey find himself in a supporting role in such a grand gathering?
"In my opinion... the world champion is..." His words captured everyone's appetite, even the head coaches of various national teams.
Loew is one of the superstitious people. At this time, he was praying in his heart that Pele would not tell the German team.
"Brazil is very uncertain..."
"Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, France, and Italy are all likely to be champions..."
As soon as these words came out, public opinion was in an uproar
Although this sounds like nonsense, Bailey finally learned his lesson for once, or in other words, he sacrificed his original crow spirit for the sake of his motherland.
Who told him to hit wherever he pointed... Since ancient times, those who have been considered champions by Pele are definitely not champions. And Pele mentioned so many championships in one go, just to build up his character for his Brazilian national team.
Of course, his prediction has not come true yet
The German team is still unstoppable, even though the Swedes are almost the same size as them, and even though the Swedes have abnormal forward Ibrahimovic, they still defeated the Swedish pirates 2-0. Of course, Ibrahimovic
His World Cup journey is also over. Who can expect that he can make a comeback four years later at the age of 37?
The Dutch team is caught in a tough battle with Mexico. The Mexicans have a rigorous team and a diligent spirit. The Dutch are afraid of playing such a rough and tumble team. If Van Persie's condition was not good enough, it is estimated that the Dutch team Van Persie will be eliminated first.
After scoring one goal, Mexico's former Barcelona player Santos scored two goals in a row to overtake the score.
Then the aging Sneijder stepped forward and equalized the score firmly. Just when people thought the game was going to be dragged into overtime, it was Robin van Persie again who received Sneijder's through ball and completed the winning goal.
The Dutch become the third team to advance to the quarterfinals
People often say that Spain will only exert its full strength when playing in the final, but when Spain played against Croatia, it was like a sleepy lion. He just wanted to take a nap, but did not fall asleep.
They were quite depressed, unable to attack or defend. Spain low-key killed them at 1:00 in the regular time, without showing off...
People who don’t understand football think that Spain is in danger this time, but in fact, they are just conserving their strength.
Huang Jianxiang said that the host from China was very insightful. In fact, Spain only played about 70% of the level. But he didn't know whether they would do their best against Portugal in the next game?
Because Portugal relied on Cristiano Ronaldo's two goals to defeat the Chilean team simply and neatly...
Cristiano Ronaldo is having such a good time, Messi will naturally not lose to him. He also scored twice and sent Argentina to the quarterfinals.
In this way, only the final finale is left, Italy vs France.
Due to Chen Long's return to the team, the gambling group once again adjusted the winning odds, and Italy returned to the top odds of winning. In this game, Italy was obviously also favored, and the French team was directly ignored...
We can’t blame France for not being good, we can only blame Chen Long in the Italian team
No one believed that the Italian team would stop at the top 16
Except for watching football, Chenlong spends all his time in his room, avoiding everyone's interviews.
According to his own opinion, he just wanted to preserve more physical strength. Who the hell knows if his physical strength will continue to decline when the game starts?!
The dragon has its head but not its tail. This is how reporters describe the haunting dragon god.
In fact, the two teams are similar in terms of technical and tactical play, and the staffing is also similar, but the variable is Chenlong
Blanco was not as unconfident as the media wrote, but appeared on the coaching bench quite calmly...
