Stop the ball ten meters away, the goal depends on Meng

"We're out!"

In the early morning of June 2014, 6, the headlines and hottest news in all media outlets were the same news without exception.

These reporters and editors have long been tired of the reporting methods of the previous two rounds of group matches, and now they can re-engage in in-depth reporting on Su Changwei with joy, singing and dancing!

"The line of fire is back! Su Changwei personally directed the shocking reversal!"

"5 goals in half! Thrilling second half!"

"The whole country is celebrating! 13 billion people are celebrating!"

"The famous Su Hei has completely turned into a fan! In this life, Su Changwei will not be a bad person!"

"The King of Football is back! This battle is comparable to the Miracle in Istanbul!"

"Science can't explain it! Football chooses Su Changwei!"

"The true protagonist of Son of Luck! The entire Croatian team doubts life!"

"Su Shen is mighty! He will be the top scorer in this World Cup in one battle!"

"The two kings of Suzhou and Meigui lead the scorer list, and Ronaldo only scored 3 goal in 1 rounds of group matches!"

"The European Cup champion was eliminated sadly, and Cristiano Ronaldo became the first superstar to go home!"

……

The two games in Group A ended at the same time. The Chinese team reversed Croatia 5:2, and the Brazilian team easily swept Cameroon 5:1. The two five-star teams advanced together.

Cameroon, which had been relegated early, was embroiled in a major scandal.

The famous German media Der Spiegel first exposed that this African team is suspected of match-fixing!
In the second round of the group match against Croatia, Asou Héctor and Mukandejo had an argument with two Cameroon players. The former actually headbutted his teammate, and the latter slapped him hard in return...

In a major event like the World Cup, almost every player will do their best for the honor of the country. Even if there are scenes of bleeding heads and persisting through injuries, it is not uncommon, but public infighting rarely occurs - even in France and the Netherlands. Traditional teams would only choose to pull out wooden sticks, iron bars and stun batons in the locker room instead of making their conflicts public...

In addition, Cameroon's core midfielder Alexander Song needlessly slapped Mandzukic from behind in the 39th minute of the first half, and was sent off with a red card by the referee. Cameroon, fighting alone, could only lose the game 0-4 in chaos!

Corresponding to the performance on the field, a bookmaker from a gambling agency in Singapore accurately predicted the score between Cameroon and Croatia before the game. He even predicted that a Cameroonian player would be sent off in the first half to make money. achieved huge economic benefits.

The Cameroon Football Association originally wanted to deal with it internally, but then authoritative media from various countries dug into the reports. The President of Cameroon was extremely angry and personally ordered an inspection of the matter. The Football Association had no choice but to admit that at least seven players may be involved!
As the report further deepened, of course, the Cameroon Football Association's corruption inside story was revealed. It has long withheld players' appearance fees and bonuses, asked players to advance air tickets and accommodation fees, embezzled the assets of the Football Association, and even unearthed several sexual assault cases...

——I originally thought that Cameroonian football would set off an anti-corruption storm, but judging from the aftermath, except for the president being angry, there was not even a self-imposed punishment of three cups...

The incident happened so suddenly that FIFA had no way to deal with it. Fortunately, Cameroon has been eliminated and will not affect the subsequent World Cup schedule.

As the schedule progresses, the final matches of other groups also arrive one after another.

In Group B, the Netherlands defeated Chile 2:0, and the two teams joined hands to qualify.

Although Spain defeated Mexico 3-0, the defending champion, who had not scored a point in the first two games, could only go home with regrets.

C组的头名被哥伦比亚摘得，他们4：1痛击日本，以3战全胜的战绩昂首出线。希腊则2：1小胜科特迪瓦，以4分的成绩力压非洲大象晋级淘汰赛。

The Japanese team only accumulated one point in 3 games and was eliminated. Compared with the previous time when they advanced with 6 points, the Japanese team has fallen significantly.

The Japan Football Association once again bowed and apologized at a press conference, and at the same time learned from the painful experience and began a new round of reform plans.

In Group D, Costa Rica, which advanced in advance, drew 0:0 with England, which was eliminated early. The Three Lions only scored 1 point in the group stage and can be called the "European Japanese team".

The other spot was won by Uruguay. With Godin's last-minute header, they defeated Italy 1:0.

The protagonist of this game was Suarez, who bit Chiellini unnecessarily!
Su Ya, with his mouth open, was pranked by netizens from all over the world in various ways, and quickly became famous on the global Internet. The traffic he attracted in just one day exceeded that of an entire season at Liverpool!
From a certain perspective, the popularity of this incident even exceeded the Chinese team's shocking reversal!

Italy and England, two established European teams, were eliminated at the same time in an unacceptable and unimaginable state!
Perhaps not many people thought they could win the championship, but being eliminated in the group stage was indeed beyond most people's expectations!
Because of the accidents of these two teams, a large number of gambling dogs have jumped off the rooftop!
France and Switzerland advanced to Group E, and neither European team missed the mark.

Honduras from the Americas and Ecuador from Africa were eliminated in the group stage.

In Group F, Argentina won all three games, scored 4 goals and was in hot form.

Nigeria beat Bosnia and Herzegovina to take second place in the group.

The Iranian team, representing Asia and Persian cavalry, bid farewell to this World Cup with a score of 1 point.

Group G is the only group that needs to calculate points.

The German team qualified early, and the United States and Portugal had 4 points. However, the United States relied on a huge advantage of 4 more goal differences to overtake Portugal and rank second!

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was fighting through injuries, tried his best in the third round and finally scored his first goal of this World Cup, which also brought the team their first victory, but he was still powerless!
He glanced at the standings of Group A angrily:
[The same score is 4 points. Why can the Chinese team advance? ! 】

[I really just have bad luck! 】
-
Including Belgium and Algeria in Group H, the top 16 roster will be released on June 6.

First place in group: Brazil, Netherlands, Colombia, Costa Rica, France, Argentina, Germany, Belgium
Group [-]: China, Chile, Greece, Uruguay, Switzerland, Nigeria, United States, Algeria
The knockout rounds of the World Cup do not require any drawing ceremony like the Champions League. They are automatically matched according to the rules of the first place in Group A vs. the second place in Group B, and the second place in Group A vs. the first place in Group B!
Brazil and Chile staged a South American civil war.

The Chinese team will have a showdown with the Dutch team as the "uncrowned king" - neither of them has won the World Cup!
Colombia vs Uruguay, another South American civil war.

Costa Rica vs. Greece, the two dark horses of Central and North America and Europe started a noob pecking game with no ratings.

France vs Nigeria, the Gallic roosters are about to beat the British colonies.

Argentina vs. Switzerland, Cristiano Ronaldo was furious, the club champion was sent to the quarterfinals.

Germany vs Algeria, Deutsche Rammstein is giving away a big gift package.

Belgium vs. the United States, the European Red Devils are about to crush the football desert country.

Due to the unexpected elimination of traditional European teams such as Spain, Italy, England, and Portugal, in the eight groups of the top 16, it seems that every game is clearly divided between strong and weak. Except for Costa Rica, the strength of the first place in the other seven groups is obvious. Taking advantage, there is not much suspense about advancing to the quarterfinals.

Since there is no strong showdown, the most interesting and popular grouping can only be the China-Dutch battle!
There are not many grievances between China and the Netherlands. The last head-to-head confrontation dates back to more than 300 years ago, when the Chinese general named Zheng Chenggong... (End of this chapter)
