Chapter 179 A 2-2 Tie
In the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, in the second round of the Group G group match, the match between the Portuguese national team and the US national team has already ended the regular 90-minute game.And now, it's 4 minutes into stoppage time.

Generally speaking, the referee basically has a certain degree of autonomy when it comes to stoppage time.If one side falls too far behind, then this side loses any confidence in the game after the game time enters the stoppage time.Then, the referee can end the game at any time.

As for this game, all the players of the Portuguese national team, including their head coach Paulo Bento, and the fans of the Portuguese national team outside the field, are also very clear that if this game loses to the United States For the national team, then, it means that the Portuguese national team can already buy a ticket to leave Brazil in advance.

They can announce their disbandment directly in Brazil, such as the international airport in Sao Paulo, and then those stars in the team who play for the top four European league teams, have high salaries and high endorsement fees can take their own private jets to some places vacation.As for those players who are still playing for their home clubs, playing hard to earn enough money to support themselves and their families after retirement.It's just a flight back to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, and then go back to each house.

This is the result if the Portuguese national team loses the game against the US national team, that is, the Portuguese national team can announce "farewell" to this World Cup in advance.However, if the Portuguese national team can win, then as long as they defeat the Ghana national team in the last round, they have lost to the US national team and tied with the German national team.Then, the Portuguese national team may even enter the top 16 knockout rounds as the first in the group.

But what if the Portuguese national team draw?Although one point is accumulated in two games, there is still a glimmer of hope to enter the knockout round of the top [-].However, although it depends on the results of the German national team and the US national team, it is better than being eliminated early.

Therefore, although the time of this game has entered the stoppage time stage, although the current score on the field, the US national team is 2, and the Portuguese national team is 1. However, the players of the Portuguese national team still did not give up. Attack, whether it is Nani who scored a goal for the Portuguese national team before, or C-Ronaldo who has not scored a goal so far, or Victor, and so on.

All the players of the Portuguese national team now have only one word in their minds,
Goal.

Yes, it can be said that the "life" or "death" of the Portuguese national team in this World Cup is just a goal.If the Portuguese national team can score another goal before the referee officially blows the final whistle of the game, then, even if it depends on the faces of the other two teams, it is better than losing, and we will bid farewell in advance world cup.

Therefore, even if the game time is approaching the moment when the final whistle is blown second by second, even if the referee is constantly raising his right arm, looking at the time and watching the attack of the Portuguese national team on the field momentum.Once it is found that the offensive momentum of the Portuguese national team has weakened, the referee will not hesitate to blow the whistle for the end of the game without the ball being dead.

Although the fourth referee held up the time card for 4 minutes of stoppage time, the game is now 92 minutes away. Moreover, as the opponent of the Portuguese national team, the US national team has already retreated across the board.Could it be that the Portuguese national team can "resurrect the dead"?

Not to mention that the head coach of the U.S. national team, Klinsmann, has already made an adjustment for the last substitution of the U.S. national team during the game.With No. 87, Wandowski replaced Dempsey, who scored the second goal for the US national team.On the one hand, it is to let the veteran Dempsey accept the cheers of the fans of the US national team.

What's more, what the U.S. national team now requires is to start defense from the striker, and Dempsey, who has fought for the U.S. national team, has no extra physical strength to launch a press against the Portuguese national team in the frontcourt.

However, although the referee kept the whistle in his mouth, he never blew the whistle to end the game.After all, on the court, the offense of the Portuguese national team has never stopped.

"The Portuguese national team is attacking! Victor has given up passing too much with Moutinho. After all, Victor used to be a forward player, and his personal skills are also very good. It is also true for Victor. Very easy.

But now facing the players of the U.S. national team who are focused on defense and want to drag the time until the moment when the whistle blows at the end of the game, Victor's breakthrough now appears to be very useful.However, the time for the game is too short now, and the 4-minute stoppage time is about to pass, and the referee is constantly looking at the watch on his wrist, ready to blow the final whistle at any time. "

Silvio-Louis paused for a while, watching Victor control the football on the right side, although he was a midfielder who passed the left side of the U.S. national team, but then had to face the U.S. national team. left back.Afterwards, although Silvio-Louis wanted to pay attention to "public affairs," he still inevitably said in a tone of regret:
"In this game, it can be said that the Portuguese national team wasted too many opportunities. Just now, after Victor, who is holding the ball, took the ball from the right side of the American national team, he sent the cross for C-Ronaldo. It can be said that the arc of the cross is very beautiful, and it also makes the people who compete for the top feel very comfortable. It can be said that as long as the football is within the range of the goal, it is almost a goal.

But it is a pity that C-Ronaldo of the Portuguese national team once again missed the opportunity to score his first goal in this World Cup.This is really unforgivable for the Real Madrid star.What's more, Barcelona's Argentine star Messi, who competes with him for No. 1 in the world, has already scored his own goal in this World Cup.

In addition, I have to say that in this World Cup, the luck of the Portuguese national team is really bad..."

However, just when Silvio-Louis was about to say things like, "The Portuguese national team has lost Almeida in two games, Postiga has two starting centers, and left back Coentrao is in the second place. Injured in one game." And so on.Suddenly, Victor was confronting the left back of the US national team.As if seeing the captain of the Portuguese national team who is now like a center forward, C-Ronaldo waved towards himself, and at the same time, he was not afraid of the pull of the defenders of the US national team, and ran towards the goal of the US national team Before.

Therefore, without any hesitation, Victor roughly judged C-Ronaldo's running route, and when he would run above the penalty area of ​​the US national team's small penalty area.Victor then lifted his right leg and, before the US national team left-back had time to react, he crossed.

The football immediately drew an arc and flew into the penalty area of ​​the US national team again.But this time, the number 7 of the Portuguese national team who judged where the football will fall, the captain C-Ronaldo on the field, will push the football out of the goal range of the US national team at once like the one 2 minutes ago, and then Personally kill the last hope of Portugal's promotion.Or can it save the Portuguese national team and push the football into the gate guarded by the goalkeeper of the US national team, Howard?
The answer will be revealed immediately after the next second.As the official FIFA commentator Silvio Louis broke out in the mouth of this game,

The voice of "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!" immediately revealed everything.

"The goal! GOAL! Victor's cross, C-Ronaldo's header! Goal! 2 to 2! The Portuguese national team equalized in the last minute of stoppage time, C-Ronaldo saved Portugal The national team! Although this is a tie, it still leaves a chance for the Portuguese national team to advance to the knockout round of the top [-]!"

Yes, C-Ronaldo did not waste Victor's cross at this moment, unlike the last time he pushed the football out of the range of the goalkeeper of the US national team, Howard.But this time, the football was firmly pushed from Howard's side into the goal of the US national team.

After the goal, C-Ronaldo hugged excitedly with Victor who assisted him, and now the 4-minute stoppage time of the game is already over.And seeing the players of the Portuguese national team celebrating the goal together wildly, seeing that the three points in hand turned into one point, and they still couldn't resist the crazy counterattack of the Portuguese national team at the last moment, the faces of all the players The players of the U.S. national team showed frustration and couldn't believe it.

The referee immediately blew the whistle for the end of the game. 2 to 2, this is a score that is not so satisfactory for the Portuguese national team or the US national team.The U.S. national team hopes to win the game and ensure that they can qualify for the group stage.The Portuguese national team also hopes to win the game, so that they can have a slight advantage before facing the Ghana national team in the final round.At least on the way to the top [-], you don't have to look at the faces of the German national team and the US national team.

However, for such a match between the Portuguese national team and the US national team for fans around the world, the Portuguese national team scored the first goal at the beginning, but then the US national team scored two goals in the second half.And brought this score into stoppage time.However, at the last moment of stoppage time, the captain of the Portuguese national team, C-Ronaldo, with the expectation of all Portuguese fans, equalized the score for the Portuguese national team.

This kind of game process may be the most suitable score for these two national teams. 2 to 2, at least a fair score, both sides take one point.
