The host Russia defeated Saudi Arabia 5-0 in the first round, which was a big surprise. According to FIFA rankings, Saudi Arabia's world ranking is three places higher than Russia, one is 67 and the other is 70.

I thought it would be a boring game of novices pecking each other, but the host country Russia played a hearty game. It felt like the promised bottom of the first period suddenly became the top student in the class.

The five-goal victory in the first round also allowed Russian fans to see the home team's hope of qualifying in Group A, thereby avoiding the embarrassing situation of the host country missing the group stage after the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Although Li Qing knew that the result of this game would not be unexpected, he was curious about whether the Egyptian team would be affected by Salah's health and the host country's prospects of qualifying.

The strongest team in Group A is undoubtedly Uruguay. There will be no surprises in qualifying. Then the remaining qualifying spot will be between Russia, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

However, judging from the situation in the first round, Saudi Arabia seems to have withdrawn from the competition for the right to qualify from Group A.

Closer to home, the end of the opening match between Russia and Saudi Arabia means that the 2018 World Cup in Russia has begun.

There are three games on the second match day, namely Egypt VS Uruguay, Morocco VS Iran Wolves, Portugal VS Spain. The England-Arab battle is the highlight of the third match day of the World Cup.

Prior to this, on the second World Cup match day, the first round of Group B clash in the Iberian Peninsula Derby became the focus of media and fans around the world.

Li Qing knew the result of this game, and he was thinking... could he buy a ball to play with?

With a result of 3:3, the odds seem pretty good.

After thinking about it for nearly half a day, I decided not to buy it.

It's not interesting to buy a little, but if you buy a lot, you're afraid that the banker will do something wrong, and then the gain outweighs the loss. Anyway, he is not short of money now, so there is no need to do such thankless things.

When the world's media and fans focused their attention on the latest Iberian Peninsula derby, England and Argentina came to the Spartak Arena to adapt to the venue for the last time before the game.

The English media, the Argentinian media and the Chinese media were the three national media that received the most attention before the Anglo-Arab war. Especially the Chinese media. In addition to the Chinese Channel 5, which has close cooperation with the government, there are also a large number of reporters from online TV stations, such as Juli PPTV and Penguin. Sports, Xinying Sports, Groom Sports, etc...

According to the arrangements of the organizing committee, first England will have a two-hour pre-match adaptation at the Spartak Arena at 2 pm local time in Russia, and Argentina will have a pre-match pitch at 5 pm.

Spartak Arena is a modern professional football stadium built since 2010. The quality of the grass is very good. The grass is used completely in accordance with the top requirements to ensure that both sides can perform at their best during the Anglo-Arab war.

The England team adapted to the venue for about an hour. Head coach Southgate took captain Harry Kane to the press conference hall of Spartak Arena. The other players continued to lead the team under assistant coach Alan Russell. Conduct technical and tactical drills, and then return to the hotel together at the end of the two-hour acclimatization period.

Argentina came to the Spartak Arena, and the first round of the 2018 Russia World Cup Group A between Egypt and Uruguay officially began. Li Qing and his Liverpool teammates were sitting in the multi-purpose room of the hotel where they were staying to watch the live broadcast of the game, because ...Salah made his debut.

Li Qing watched this game, apart from being teammates with Salah, the main reason was to see if there was a butterfly effect.

After ninety minutes, a result that was different from the original historical development really occurred. With Salah's goal, Egypt drew with Uruguay 1:1, while the original result was that Egypt lost 0:1.

Three hours later, the first round of Group B between Morocco and Iran kicked off at the New Zenit Arena. As the team that conceded the fewest goals in the World Cup qualifiers, Iran also showed the majesty of the Dussia cavalry in the first round of the World Cup. The battle with Morocco, which is more than 0 places higher in the world rankings, ended 0: in the regular minutes.

Thanks to Moroccan player Bohadouzi's super own goal in the fifth minute of injury time, Iran defeated Morocco 1:0, exposing a small upset.

With the end of these two games, the highlight of the second match day of the World Cup was officially announced.

At 6 pm local time on June 15th in Russia, the Iberian Peninsula derby between Spain and Portugal kicked off at Fisht Stadium. The entire England team watched this focus battle at the hotel where they were staying.

Although Portugal won the 2016 European Cup in France, its overall strength is somewhat inferior to Spain, so the winning rate is tilted towards Spain, which has stronger overall strength. However, before the World Cup, Real Madrid officially announced that Spanish national team coach Lopetegui will After the World Cup, he will become the head coach of Real Madrid, which immediately caused strong dissatisfaction among the senior officials of the Spanish Football Association.

So the senior management of the Spanish Football Association held an emergency press conference the next day and announced the dismissal of Lopetegui, with Spanish legendary star Hierro temporarily leading the team.

That's why the Iberian Peninsula Derby became 50-50.

With the whistle of the Italian referee Rocchi, the focus battle between Portugal and Spain was officially announced. Arnold turned to Li Qing and asked: "Li, who do you think will win?"

"Why do we have to compete? Isn't it better to tie?"

Li Qing spread his hands and said.

Arnold: "..."

Harry Kane, who was sitting in front, turned back and smiled: "Lee, it seems that you are more in favor of a draw between the two teams."

"of course."

As soon as he finished speaking, the referee Rocky blew his whistle and saw Ronaldo falling to the ground. There was no need to go through the VAR video replay. Rocky was very confident. He thought Nacho had indeed brought down Ronaldo, and the slow-motion replay It also verified the correctness of Rocky's penalty.

Cristiano Ronaldo hit the penalty to help Portugal lead Spain 1:0. Harry Kane looked back again: "Lee, I think Portugal will win."

"Hehe~ I think the two teams will still draw, and it may be a big score draw."

Li Qing shrugged his shoulders.

"how is this possible?"

Arnold blurted out.

"Alexander, do you want us to make a bet?"

"What bet?"

Hearing this, Arnold and other England players became interested.

"If Portugal and Spain draw a big score, even if I win, 1:1, 2:2, Portugal wins, and Spain wins, it counts as your win. What do you think? Do you dare to come?"

"You mean the match between Portugal and Spain will be at least 3:3, or even 4:4?"

Veteran Milner's tone was a bit incredible.

"4:4 is not possible, but 3:3 is still more likely."

Li Qing pointed at Ronaldo and said: "Cristiano Ronaldo is in very good condition. He scored a goal in four minutes. Maybe... he may also save Portugal with a hat trick."

"I'll bet you!"

Arnold didn't hesitate at all, and then changed the subject: "What are you betting on?"

"Seeing that you are relatively poor, how about a bet of 1000 pounds?"

The crowd burst into laughter, and Arnold rolled his eyes: "Then I will rob the rich and give to the poor! I bet this 1000 pounds!"
