host must win

After the three rounds of the group stage, the Chinese team and England have the same record of 1 win and 2 draws, accumulating 5 points to advance together, but it is not so easy to decide who will be the first in Group B between the Chinese team and England.

According to the ranking regulations of the World Cup in Germany, if it is found that some teams in the group have the same points after completing the group stage, the winner will be determined according to the following criteria in order:
1. The team with the better goal win;
2. The team with the better total goals;
3. The team with the better performance in the group match;
4. The winning team will be determined by drawing lots.

The goal difference of the Chinese team and England is 1, and the two teams are tied, so the first rule cannot determine who is the first in the group;

Both the Chinese team and England scored 5 goals, and they were tied again, so the second rule cannot determine who is the first in the group;

In the direct match between the Chinese team and England, the score of the two teams was 2:2, so the third rule became invalid again.

As a result, the two teams had to draw lots to decide who is the first in the group!

This is the first time in the history of the World Cup!
Originally, the Chinese team planned to send officials from the Football Association to Berlin, the capital of Germany, which is also the final venue of the World Cup, to participate in the draw ceremony. However, because Yin Jun has a private jet, he can travel around in European countries including Germany very conveniently. Fei, so after negotiation, Yin Jun, the captain, went to participate in the draw.

And in the lottery, Yin Jun, who has always been a good character, was very lucky to win the lottery again.In this way, the Chinese team kept their position in the standings, but this time they are no longer ranked first with the advantage of the initials of the country, but the final ranking of the standings.

This allowed the Chinese team to finally successfully avoid the host team Germany, which is the number one in Group A, and face Ecuador, the dark horse in Group A.

This is undoubtedly a very good result for the Chinese team.England, on the other hand, had to face the feuding German team in the first round of the knockout round.

………………

Immediately after Groups A and B decided the qualifying teams, a day later, Groups C and D also decided the winners. Portugal and Mexico in Group D advanced as expected, while Argentina and the Netherlands in Group C advanced together with a record of 2 wins and 1 tie.However, the two teams do not need to draw lots to decide who is the first in the group like the Chinese team and England.In the goal difference competition, the Netherlands was defeated, and Argentina won the first place in the group.

Subsequently, the results of the other four groups were released, with Italy, Brazil, Switzerland and Spain ranked first, and Ghana, Australia, France and Ukraine ranked second.

According to the rules of the game, Germany is first in Group A, England is second in Group B, Argentina is first in Group C, Mexico is second in Group D, Italy is first in Group E, Australia is second in Group F, Switzerland is first in Group G and second in Group H. Ukraine enters the upper half; Ecuador is second in Group A, China is first in Group B, Netherlands is second in Group C, Portugal is first in Group D, Ghana is second in E, Brazil is first in Group F, France is second in Group G and third in Group H [-] Spain entered the bottom half.

If the Chinese team can beat Ecuador in the quarter-finals, then they will face the winner of Portugal and the Netherlands in the quarter-finals.

If they can go one step further, that is, enter the semi-finals, then their opponents will be the winners among Ghana, Brazil, France and Spain.

………………

After the Chinese team determined the No. 100 position in Group B by drawing lots, Chinese fans began to flock to Stuttgart, which is more than 6 kilometers away.On the evening of June 25, domestic time, the Chinese team will face South American team Ecuador at the Gottlieb Dalem Stadium.

This is a contest between two dark horse teams, although because of Yin Jun and the Chinese team's victory in the Confederations Cup last year, the identity of the Chinese team as a dark horse is not widely recognized!
This game will also determine whose dark horse is better!

The Chinese team is also moving to Stuttgart to prepare for the battle.

There are an unprecedented number of Chinese fans rushing to Stuttgart this time. On the one hand, it is because the Chinese team broke into the top [-], which further stimulated the Chinese fans.

The enthusiasm of Chinese fans, on the other hand, is because the Gottlieb Dalem Stadium can accommodate the number of fans watching the game, which is more than the stadiums in the next two group matches.

Gottlieb Daimler Stadium is the home of Bundesliga powerhouse VfB Stuttgart and is named after Gottlieb Daimler, one of the inventors of the modern car.The stadium was built in 1933 and expanded to host the 2006 World Cup. After completion, it can accommodate 57000 spectators (including seats and standing seats) for domestic games or 54500 spectators (full seats) for international games.This World Cup will have four games here, including four first-round group matches, a second-round top [-] match and a third-place match.

Of course, the fans of the Chinese team are still holding on to the hope that there are not many fans from Ecuador coming to Germany, so they can get more tickets.

………………

The opponent of the Chinese team, Ecuador, like the Chinese team, participated in the World Cup finals for the first time in 2002, and then entered the finals in this tournament. Now it has gone one step further and entered the knockout threshold.

Yin Jun is not very familiar with this Ecuadorian team, because most of its players played in Ecuador's domestic league and played in the five major European leagues. Only Barcelona's midfielder Tenorio and the Premier League AS Dunville's Dela Cruz.The former is just the water dispenser guard of Barcelona, ​​and basically has no chance to play; the latter used to be Villa's main defender, but in the 6 seasons that just ended, he also lost his position due to his advanced age, and is very likely to leave in the new season Premier League.

To say that the player Yin Jun is most familiar with is Valencia, who is currently playing for the West Second team Huelva.The future Red Devils star and captain is currently a player of the Yellow Submarine, but he went to Huelva on loan in January this year because he couldn't play in the Yellow Submarine.

It is also because of this situation that the Ecuadorian international, who was later called the "Four Dark Kings of Manchester United" by Manchester United fans together with Nani, Ashley Young and Welbeck, missed Huang Qian's four matches against Manchester United last season. Big roster, not to mention playing games.

However, Yin Jun is also very clear that Manchester United's future winger, nicknamed "Wabu Shoot", has already scored a goal in the World Cup, but his shooting skills are actually very bad.

His stunt is a cross from the right. After swiping out with his right foot from the right, he uses the strength of the shot to hit the penalty area.

His other unique skill is speed. At his peak, he was a world-class winger!
