Chapter 501 Beckenham's Prediction for the Knockout

L'Equipe believes that there are two main reasons for Portugal's elimination. One is that they lost to Germany by four goals in the first game, which put a heavy burden on them.

The second point is that they failed to defeat the United States in the second game, resulting in a passive position.

The German media praised the German team and believed that their ability to control is getting stronger and stronger.

Out of the eight groups, seven groups have already determined their places, leaving only the last group.

The final matchups in Group G are: South Korea VS Belgium, Algeria VS Russia.

So far, all the group matches have been played, and the first round of the knockout round has been discharged.

In the second half, the Netherlands VS Mexico, Costa Rica VS Greece, Argentina VS Switzerland, Belgium VS the United States.

Regarding the elimination of the first round, the major media made pre-match predictions.

In an exclusive interview with the BBC, the former famous England star Beckham talked about his views on elimination:

"Brazil VS Spain: This is a game that is difficult to predict. Brazil has no big problems with the striker line. Neymar is in very good form. The problem is that Brazil's midfield is weak. Now Fernandinho comes up in midfield. get made up.

The only problem is the central defender. David Luiz has also experienced emotional instability.

Spain's overall state is not very good, and Li's state will play a decisive role.

But his injury is the biggest hidden danger.

Uruguay VS Colombia: Suarez's suspension has a great impact on the whole team, and will have a certain impact on the morale of the team. It is hard to say this game, and it is slightly inclined to Colombia.

Forward No. 21 Martinez and No. 10 Rodriguez are very good players, so you can’t look down on Colombia. I’m not very familiar with them, and I don’t have much detailed analysis. You can't beat it in Brazil.

France VS Nigeria: The situation in France should be better. Didier Deschamps' team is a team with a very strong combat effectiveness. France does not lack in body and technology. What was lacking in the past was a spirit. Now that the spirit is there, there is no problem in defeating Nigeria.

Germany VS Algeria: Germany once lost to Algeria in the 1982 World Cup group stage, almost out, and finally came back to life.

This Algerian team should not be underestimated, with a good combination of technology and body, but it is still close to the German team.The German team has a very strong ability to control the scene. This German team can go very far, and Algeria can't resist them.

Netherlands VS Mexico: The Netherlands is not very easy to play. The group stage is very good, but the state is very early. Whether it can be maintained is a problem. After all, some players are old, and his style of play is very exhausting. Robben and others The players have been running desperately.

The Mexican team is very tenacious and can play against the Netherlands without losing the upper hand. The level of technical sophistication is even better than that of the Netherlands.One element of the Netherlands' victory is Robben's speed, and the other is height, so it seems that the Netherlands may be slightly better.

Costa Rica VS against Greece: Greece is playing better and better, this game is not very predictable.Costa Rica has better technology, Greece is physically stronger than them, and Costa Rica may be better, because after all, it has half the home court advantage.

Argentina VS Switzerland: I think it is not a big problem for Argentina to play Switzerland, and there is no problem for Argentina to attack, but there are two sets of plans that need to be adjusted.

Messi, Aguero, and Higuain are on the field at the same time, but the impact of the attack line is insufficient. The ideal style of play is to have one or two players in front to open the way and create opportunities for Messi and Aguero to insert behind, but now Aguero Queiro was injured again, which just prompted Argentina to change.

Lavezzi or Palacio can be placed in front. I personally think that Palacio is more suitable for the role of opening the way and creating a chance for Messi to make a fatal blow.Of course, Argentina's plan A will not work, and there is also plan B, that is, Di Maria's back row will attack.

Argentina's problem is defense, mainly center back Fernandez, the problem is not with Zabaleta, the goal seems to be lost from Zabaleta, but the problem is that Fernandez's position is not good, can't give Zabaleta Protection, he has a problem with defensive positioning in the middle.

This loophole may not be so obvious against Switzerland, because after all, Switzerland plays relatively rough, and only Shaqiri has one attack point. The situation is relatively simple, and Fernandez may be able to handle it.

Belgium VS United States: Belgium should have a chance. The US team's anger has been exhausted after the game against Germany. You can see that the United States may only be able to run, jump and rush with three tricks.

But Belgium also played hard when they played against South Korea. I thought they might be a team with elegant skills and tactics like traditional Belgium, but this Belgium is not, and it is also a relatively tough team.

In this way, Belgium is not afraid of the United States, so Belgium may run into Argentina.Judging from his play against South Korea, Belgium can't beat Argentina, and his technique is rough. It may be difficult for the defenders to deal with Messi. Messi is so fast that they will not be able to react. "

When it comes to the top 8 and the subsequent semi-finals and finals, Beckenham believes that it is very difficult to say in the upper half, "Germany, Brazil, and Spain may all appear in the semi-finals.

In the second half, no matter who wins the Netherlands or Mexico, it will definitely defeat the winner of the game between Costa Rica and Greece, thereby advancing to the semi-finals, and the opponent is likely to be Argentina.

If it is Mexico against Argentina, then the latter has a great chance of reaching the final. If the Netherlands advances to the final, Robben will definitely pose a considerable threat to Argentina's defense. "
