Chapter 768 The Unpopular First Round

The Chinese team slaughtered the Swiss team 12-1. This is not the most eye-catching game in the quarter-finals.

Perhaps it was because the process and results of the group stage were too tepid. As soon as they entered the knockout stage, a lot of explosive news broke out immediately!

First, Uruguay defeated Portugal 1-0 with Suarez's lore at the end of overtime.

As the European Cup champion in 2016, Ronaldo left the World Cup a little prematurely.

Perhaps stimulated by that man, the Portuguese captain worked extraordinarily hard in every game.

It may not be objective to say this, because Ronaldo, who is full of ambition, will never lower his demands on himself. Even without the existence of Long Shute, he will definitely devote 100% of his energy to deal with a big game like the World Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored 3 goals in 5 group matches, and this efficiency has completely exploded the previous competitions he participated in.

But facing Uruguay, after fighting for 90 minutes, he still had nothing to gain, so he could only go home with Portugal.
-
If Uruguay's 1-0 lore against Portugal is still a close contest, then Egypt, which defeated Spain 3-1 with Salah's two shots and one pass, must be a dark horse!
For a while, Salah's reputation even overshadowed his club teammates who played five goals and two passes in another stadium-after all, there is really no way to compare with the Matador Legion in Switzerland!

Birth of the Nile Mohamed Salah.

Lord of Egypt.

Pharaoh I.

Gale Mummy.

Curly hair version of the club king.

Defender of Saladin's Eagle.

The new owner of the Sphinx.

The man standing at the top of the pyramid.

King of Anfield iron hats.

The second player in the Liverpool team to buy oranges.

The Premier League scorer list is second only to Long Ritian...

One after another, the shocking nicknames hit Salah's head, but these people only realized after playing for a long time:

Even if Salah is so good, he still lives in the shadow of that man in the club!
-
Spain fell unexpectedly, creating the first upset in the true sense of this World Cup.

But they don't need to be too sad, because there are many strong teams going home with them.

With another shocking world wave by James Ronaldo, Colombia defeated England, which lacked a reliable goalkeeper, 2-1. The Three Lions could only stop in the round of [-] in Russia.

That's all, anyway, due to the tense situation, a large number of England fans did not come to this vast land that frightened them. The Three Lions did not feel the slightest fighting spirit and motivation here, and went home early to prepare for next season's Premier League. That's the business!

France, the first place in Group C, and Argentina, the second place in Group D, met on a narrow road. This is undoubtedly an extremely fierce battle.

With a large number of young stars such as Pogba, Griezmann, Martial, Mbappe, Dembele, Kanter, Umtiti, Varane, Mendy and other young stars, the French team is undoubtedly the leader of this World Cup. a big hit.

Although their opponents have the nuclear weapon of Messi, everyone knows that Messi of the national team is obviously not the strongest one, and subject to the overall age of Argentina's aging, the Pampas Eagles won the World Cup. The odds of winning the championship before the start of the game are only ranked fifth!

The overall stronger Germany, France, Brazil, and Spain are ahead of them!
Perhaps affected by the club's early exit from the Champions League, Messi suppressed it for a long time last season. After coming to the stage of the World Cup, he finally showed his true ability!
He wantonly demonstrated his dribbling skills that are still unrivaled in the world in front of the French stars who are much younger than him, and he specifically went to Real Madrid defender Varane!

The tall Varane fell directly to the ground with his ass, and people can't help but recall the Bayern iron guard Boateng who fell into the same trap back then...

In this peak duel, all the superstars on both sides became the background of Messi’s performance alone. With two shots and one pass, he also helped the national team defeat the Gallic Rooster 3-1 who claimed to want to win the championship, and advanced convincingly Quarterfinals!
And in the duel between the first in Group E and the second in Group F, another top-level dialogue with Argentina 3-1 France was born!
Brazil VS Germany!

Without any foreshadowing and description, this is a more tragic hand-to-hand combat!
The 7-1 bloody incident four years ago is still in sight, and the Samba Army, eager for revenge, almost mercilessly launched a surprise attack on their opponents, but they overturned again without any surprise!
The German team, which had already been massacred by the Chinese team once in the group stage, had long put away their complacency. Loew made the most detailed arrangements and deployments before the game, and his disciples were even more vigilant with 120 million points. Give each other any opportunity.

In contrast to the Brazilian team, Neymar obviously did not find his form after four months of injuries. The talented teenager Gabriel Jesus, who scored a lot of goals in the Premier League, was completely misfired in the forward line, and he could not find any players in the club. Feel.

On their defense line, veterans like Silva and Alves still play the main role. As they grow older and play health-preserving football in Ligue [-] for a long time, their physical fitness and state have declined significantly. Defender Marcelo is a guy who is more offensive than defensive, and their goalkeeper Ederson has become the Brazilian player with the most appearances...

Thomas Muller scored twice, the young Werner and Sane made contributions respectively, and "Little Rocket" Royce, who had finally participated in a national team competition, also scored a goal. The game was less than 70 minutes. The Brazilian fans couldn't help but turn off the TV at home.

The red-eyed Neymar had to rely on diving to get a penalty, but was shown the second yellow card of the game by the referee!

The Russian fans watching the game immediately booed and laughed unscrupulously.

The Slavs would not applaud this technology!

What they want to see is the intimate blend of sweat and sweat, the fierce collision of flesh and blood!
The German chariot that has learned from experience and lessons once again crushed the bodies of the Samba Corps mercilessly, and the chaotic Brazilian team left a lonely and embarrassed back to the world with a 1-5 .

The former five-star Brazil and football kingdom seem to have come to a crossroads.

Maybe they should change too?
-
Compared with the elimination of Spain, Brazil and England, the results of other games are not so surprising.

The Belgian team lost 1-2 to Poland. Lewandowski almost dragged Poland alone to defeat Hazard, Lukaku, De Bruyne, Mertens, Fellaini, Moussa - Dembele, Kompany, Vertonghen, Vermaelen, Alderweireld, Courtois, Mignolet's European Red Devils.

This game once again proves that a football game is not a game that can be won by simply piling up stars, unless your stars are all special!

Or... there must be at least 11 Chu Zhongtians! -
The eighth-final match with the weakest stars is probably Croatia's 3-0 victory over Denmark.

The strength of the two sides is indeed not on the same level.

The lineup of the Lattice Legion is full of odd players such as Modric, Rakitic, Mandzukic, Perisic, Kovacic... Although other players except these few are not very famous , but their team spirit is unmatched by ordinary teams, which makes Croatia often able to play a stronger strength in the game.

Don't forget, in the group stage, they overwhelmed Argentina's No. [-] existence!
A mere Denmark can't stop them! -
After all the eight rounds of 16 games have been played, the situation of the quarter-final confrontation will also be released.

Uruguay challenged Argentina, Suarez and Messi, the two former teammates (Messi has moved to Manchester City), are bound to not back down half a step in the World Cup.

Germany vs. Poland, this pair of close neighbors can compare the historical grievances and hatreds on the highest stage of football. Lewandowski can also prove to his Bayern and Dortmund teammates that he is a thigh!

Egypt VS Croatia is a pecking contest, but considering that Egypt has a population of more than [-] million, their national idol Salah is bound to bring a feast of ratings.

The last pair is the most popular Chinese team to win the championship, against Colombia!

Colombia.

It was the culprit who caused Long Shute to fall directly from the clouds to hell four years ago!
Long Shute, who never slaps his face overnight...can he let them go?
