Chapter 331 Argentina's Happy Duo
On the second day after the final round of Group C matches, the 1/8 final opponents of the teams qualifying in Group C will also have their qualifying places in Group D.

Croatia has locked in the first place in Group D in advance, but still beat Iceland 2-1 with the fighting spirit of "it is better to chase after the poor".

In another match in the last round of Group D, Argentina narrowly beat Nigeria 2-1 at the St. Petersburg Stadium. Messi took the lead, Moses equalized with a penalty kick, and Rojo scored a lore in the 86th minute.

Argentina overwhelmed Nigeria to get second in the group and will soon face Huaguo, who is in the first year of Group C in the first knockout round.

For Huaguo and Argentina, the dust has settled in the group stage, and it is a good thing to qualify, but the moods of the two teams are completely opposite.

The Chinese team is worried, thinking that Argentina with Messi cannot be defeated, and the trip to the World Cup in Russia will end here.

There are only three people in the whole team and even in the entire Huaguo country who don't take Argentina seriously. The others, including Li Tong, Zheng Zhi, and Gao Hongbo, think that the Huaguo team is over.

Lippi is old and strong, and keeps in touch with international football at all times. He knows that there is a lot of civil strife in Argentina this year. The contradictions between Azue and Messi and other players are irreconcilable. Argentina's combat strength and fighting spirit are less than half.

Zhang Yulin is "a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers", and he must not lose his prestige before fighting Messi himself.

All right!Zhang Yulin is more than a year older than Zhang Mai, but in front of the 25-year-old rising stars in China, Zhang Yulin is still a younger brother, so he can be understood if he is a little aggressive.

Not to mention Zhang Mai, his experience in his previous life told him that France and Croatia were the original World Cup champion and runner-up duel, and the rest were scum, including Argentina and Brazil.

Argentina struggled to qualify from Group D. Messi was questioned repeatedly by the whole world, but the wonderful Argentines believed that meeting Huaguo in the 1/8 final was God's best reward for their self-help!
"God is back again! Messi led Argentina to survive the catastrophe, and the blessing will come soon."

Argentina's largest football media, "Ole", used this headline to celebrate the team's qualifying, and also implicitly declared that its opponent in the 1/8 finals, the Hua Guo team, was a rookie.

Less than a day later, the results of the final round of Group F came out, and the biggest upset of this World Cup also followed.

6月27日22时，世界杯F组末轮在喀山开始1场较量，德国0比2负于韩国，积3分小组垫底，成为近5届世界杯第4支小组赛出局的卫冕冠军！
In the first half, Sun Xingmin missed two chances to score.In the second half, Zhao Xianyou bravely saved Goretzka's header.In stoppage time, after Kim Young-gwon scored a goal and was sentenced to offside, with the help of VAR, the judgment was changed to be effective, and Sun Xingmin counterattacked and made another victory.

Group F's "Group of Death" deserves its reputation. South Korea lost 0-1 and 1-2 to Sweden and Mexico in the first two rounds, but sent the defending champion back home in the last round.

Although the South Korean team also went home with Germany, after defeating Germany, the always demanding South Korean media was also very satisfied with their team's final results.

The whole of South Korea was very excited about it, and even used the reason that the K-League will start soon to excuse the South Korean team that was eliminated in the group.

"Since May 5, the K-League has been in a state of truce, and players have begun to prepare to participate in the World Cup. Before that, the Korean Football Association also confirmed the schedule for the restart of the domestic league on July 21. This arrangement is just right. The international players from Russia You can start playing a week after you come back."

On the other hand, the German team was full of misery and gloom, and the whole team was scolded bloody by the German media.

In this World Cup group match, the German team lost 0-1 to Mexico in the first match, pushing themselves into a desperate situation.

In the second game, when Sweden advanced by a goal, with Royce's goal and Kroos' final lore, the German team narrowly beat their opponents 2-1.

Before this game, the German team only needs to win at least 2 goals against South Korea to guarantee qualifying.But the German team failed to score, but conceded two consecutive goals in stoppage time to lose 0-2.

In this way, the Korean team's goal difference is 0, and the German team is -2. The Korean team beat the German team to get third in the group, and the German team ranked bottom in the group.

In the history of the World Cup, since the adoption of the group stage system, the German team has never been eliminated in the group stage.

The defending champion, the German chariot, the all-star lineup... The aura of the German team was shattered at this moment today!

The 0-2 loss to South Korea made them have to go home with the embarrassing ranking at the bottom of the group, but in fact the German team had been holding the hope of qualifying until the 90th minute of the game. If you look at a game between Sweden and Mexico, then this process will be more exciting and more ups and downs. It can be called the best football life and death drama of the year:

The situation before the final round of the German team was not bad. Before this game, the Mexican team ranked first with 6 points and a goal difference of +2. Germany ranks second depending on the relationship between victory and defeat; South Korea has 3 points and a goal difference of -0.

When the match between Sweden and Mexico reached the 50th minute, the Swedish team scored a goal first. According to this score, the Swedish team will have 6 points and a goal difference of +1. The German team has fallen into absolute passiveness, but If the German team scores 1 goal and wins, they can still rely on the relationship between victory and defeat to overwhelm Sweden and get second in the group.

As the Swedish team relied on penalty kicks to expand the score in 62 minutes, their goal difference came to 2 goals. At this time, the German team needed 1 goals to surpass Sweden. At this time, the game between the two teams has entered the German offensive without progress In South Korea's counter-attack mode, it is very difficult for Germany to score two goals in a row, but at this time, due to two goals in a row, Mexico's advantage in goal difference is of course gone. If Germany scores one goal and wins , they can successfully surpass the Mexican team and complete the big reversal.

The Swedish team won in the 74th minute. Alvarez scored an own goal and the Swedish team led 3-0. At this time, Sweden had successfully counterattacked and sat firmly on the first place in the group. The winning goal has reached -1, and it is almost completely lost. At this time, Mexico has no energy to score goals. Germany has changed from competing with Sweden to competing with Mexico. It only takes 1 goal for Germany to defeat Mexico, the bitter host in the first match. , successfully qualified.

But all of this came to naught with the German team's long-term attack and South Korea's two goals in a row. With Kim Young-kwon's goal being ruled valid, the German team must score two consecutive goals in stoppage time to advance. Ill's fight for the top and Sun Xingmin's empty goal were reasonable. At that moment, Neuer, Loew and the German team had no choice.

The unexpected exit of the defending champion Germany, the happiest people are none other than the Argentine fans, who were still reeling from their defeat by Germany four years ago.

The Argentine fans were also very happy to see their old enemy go home.

Argentine fans Mattias and his brother and two nephews came to St. Petersburg to watch yesterday's Argentina game.

Regarding Germany's defeat, Mattias was very happy, and said bluntly: "Many people think that Argentina is going to be out, but Germany is the one who goes home in the end."

Argentine fan Pablo also said: "Feeling? It's cool." At the same time, he also believes that after last night's game, Argentina is now "more united and stronger, and may win the World Cup."

The vast majority of Argentine fans interviewed were happy that Germany was out. Loranzo told reporters:
"Germany took the title from us, how can you not be happy to see them out?"

One day and one night, just 24 hours ago, many people still thought that Argentina might be out, but now that Germany is out, Loranzo said: "Many xx think Argentina will be out, hehe."

Germany is out, Argentina survived, will there be future blessings?

Argentine fans generally believed in interviews: "Argentina's luck has returned after qualifying from the group stage. From then until the final final, we all believe that Messi can lead his teammates to sing forward together!"
