long live football

Successfully won the first game of the World Cup in South Africa, England fans felt the supreme pleasure.

A large number of fans gathered around the Royal Bafokeng Stadium and wandered back and forth, refusing to leave until the Three Lions bus drove away.

A good start generally indicates good luck, so these England fans are full of longing and expectations for the future.

If it wasn't for the heavy security guards at the post-match press conference venue, which prohibited non-media personnel from entering and leaving, it would have been overwhelmed by enthusiastic fans long ago.

When Carl with a smile on his face and Bradley, the coach of the U.S. team with a blank face, walked into the venue one after another, the flash lights were so bright that people couldn't help squinting their eyes.

Carl only blinked once, got used to it, and then smiled at the countless cameras.

Bradley seldom experienced such a big battle. When he first entered the door, the white light gave his eyes a lot of stimulation, and tears came out. At this moment, he was walking behind Carl, with a low voice He secretly wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

Bradley thought his actions were very subtle, but he didn't know that some media had already photographed him lowering his head and wiping his eyes.

The headlines were all thought up by the media: "Bradley was worried about the team's first defeat, and wept in public after the game" and the headline for the England team was: "Two goals forced the coach of the US team to cry, and the Three Lions are mighty and domineering" Bradley, who didn't know that he had been targeted by the malicious media, rubbed his eyes to wipe away the tears stimulated by the flash, and walked forward again.

Carl's short interview has come to an end: "...Thank you to the fans who came from all over the world to cheer for us. I know that most of them did not buy tickets for the England game, but they still chose to come to South Africa. Even standing outside the stadium and wandering in the streets cheering for England, this is so touching, England will definitely go all out to play well in the following games."

"The goal of the United States in this World Cup is to qualify for the group stage, but I hope the team can go further." When Bradley was interviewed, he announced the goal of the United States' trip to South Africa to the media.

A reporter raised his hand: "Do you have anything to say about the game that just ended?"

"The World Cup group stage can no longer stop England." Bradley said in his heart: "I have nothing to say about losing to them. The United States will try its best to make it No. 2 in the group."

A female reporter with an oriental face stood up, and she kept waving her arms at Carl, hoping to get a chance to ask questions.

Seeing this scene, many media turned the camera over with great interest.

Given that England is now a thorn in the side of many Japanese fans, the nearby media believe that this female reporter is also a Japanese, and the other party is likely to find fault with the England team.

There are still very few women in the field of sports reporters. Oston often speaks out to the male reporters who come to provoke him. I wonder if his attitude towards women will be softer?

The question asked by the Asian female reporter showed that she was not Japanese, but Korean: "Mr. Auston, do you know Korean football? What do you think of the Korean team?"

"I have never played against a Korean team. Of course I don't know Korean football." The female reporter's question made Karl feel a little inexplicable.

Other media used their brains, and finally someone suddenly realized: "This person is talking about the quarter-finals!"

After the South Africa World Cup group stage, the host will not draw again, but will go directly to the quarter-finals according to the ranking of the group.

There are a total of eight groups in the World Cup. The first in each group and No.2 qualify. Then the quarter-finals will be the first in group A vs. the second in group B, the first in group B vs. the second in group A, the first in group C vs. the second in group D ... Such a duel mode.

England's Group C includes the United States, Algeria, and Slovenia. After defeating the most threatening American team, there is little suspense about qualifying first in the group.

And South Korea's Group D includes Germany, Serbia, and Ghana, especially the German team is the favorite to win the World Cup this year. How could South Korea beat Germany to rank first in the group?It's a joke to win the remaining two opponents and get a qualifying spot.

According to the above inference, in the quarter-finals of this World Cup, there is a high probability that there will be a group of opponents such as England VS South Korea.

This may also explain why there were South Korean players in the stands in the game just now.

No wonder this South Korean female reporter asked such a question that most people find inexplicable. It turned out that she was not asking random questions to make her country feel better, but thinking too early and too much.

The Korean female reporter was just an episode of the press conference, and was quickly forgotten by everyone. After all, the World Cup just opened yesterday, and the quarter-finals were still too far away in the eyes of others.

After a full half an hour, the enthusiastic media from various countries were willing to let Karl leave.

And when Carl walked out of the venue and was about to find his own players to gather, another large group of American fans holding posters of his body surrounded him, strongly hoping that he could sign these posters.

The reason why they are definitely American fans is that these people either have the stars and stripes painted on their faces or wear the stars and stripes pattern T-shirts.

Male fans are trying to squeeze in front of Karl, and then use the cameras, mobile phones and even tablet cameras they carry with them to take pictures at him.

As for the more enthusiastic female fans, they pursed their red lips and begged.

If you don’t have any, it’s not bad to be able to print the shape of the red lips on the collar of the shirt.

The American journalists who came out of the venue one after another felt that their compatriots were very ashamed.

This picture of kneeling and licking the enemy coach just after being defeated by England is too ugly...

But in the next second, when the media saw that the England coach not only did not leave quickly, but took the pen and paper handed over by the fans with a smile on his face and began to sign, they couldn't wait to rush forward: "I have a pen!"

"Please sign!"

"Sign it on my panties!"

"Please take a photo!"

……

The World Cup group stage adopts a single round-robin system, that is, every two teams in the group have to play one game.

Three points for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss, and the two teams with the most points qualify for the final round.

England have two games remaining after beating the United States.

The second match against Algeria is scheduled for a week later.

Karl gave the team a day off, one to let the players relax, and the other to give them time to pick up their girlfriends or wives at the airport.

The English wives will all arrive in South Africa in the next two days.

Although the British media has been giving advice to the Three Lions before the World Cup, saying that the wives in England are too beautiful, in order to avoid distracting the players during the World Cup, it is better not to let the wives accompany them.

But the news of [-] prostitutes coming to South Africa has spread all over the world. Not only these special professionals, but during the World Cup, South Africa also did not lack beautiful and single female stars, models and hosts.

Thinking about it in another way, if Carl himself was the wife of a certain star, he would not worry about her husband staying thousands of miles away alone and tempting many countries—even if he was on a business trip.

So when Rooney cautiously asked his wife Colleen if he could come to South Africa to watch the game, Carl waved his hand and agreed directly.

So the family members of the England team boarded the flight to South Africa one after another.

What surprised Karl was that the wives in England were not only worried about their husband OR boyfriend prostitutes, but also regarded him as a threat...

Had it not been for Beckham's slip of the tongue, Karl really wouldn't have thought so much.

It all starts with Maradona, who triggered the "basic frenzy" of the media all over the world.

In the first game in Argentina two days ago, Maradona walked into the player channel before the start of the game, and kissed the Argentine players one by one in front of all the Nigerian players.

Then when Argentina defeated Nigeria 1-0 and the players left the field one by one, the excited Maradona stood on the side of the field again, hugging every Argentine player with his own hands.

Among them, Messi received the most "consolation".

"Even the sound came out!" When the Nigerian player was interviewed afterwards, his expression was a bit shocked: "Bo'er Boer's kissing sound, my teammates and I were all stunned!"

Obviously, Nigeria, which is a bit old-fashioned, cannot accept Maradona's open behavior on the court.

But when Maradona was interviewed by the media, he was very proud of this: "Kissing the same sex is nothing in Argentina. It is a way for us to express intimacy. I don't think this behavior is out of line. You know, If Argentina wins the championship, I'm ready to run naked in public to celebrate!"

Any reporter can tell from the interview that Maradona is going to make the same-sex kiss his signature move in this World Cup.

This is not the first time Maradona has targeted the same sex.

As early as the 90s, he and Boca Juniors teammate Caniggia kissed for 6 minutes in the game.

This matter caused an uproar all over the world, but the two parties were very proud.

After the game, Maradona was attacked by Caniggia's wife: "Maradona is a damn gay! He always kisses my husband's lips!"

Caniggia's wife forbade her husband to have any further contact with Maradona.

Unexpectedly, Maradona complained to his friend angrily: "I can kiss you anytime I want, her ban doesn't work at all!"

Not long after that, two major events happened in Caniggia's life: one was that his friend Maradona retired because he was accused of doping here, and the other was that his wife had a nervous breakdown and ran naked on the street.

Two things also destroyed Caniggia. From then on, Caniggia began to indulge in alcohol, his state plummeted, and his era gradually passed away.

Around 08, some Argentine media reported that Caniggia may have divorced his wife, but it was not acknowledged by the parties.

Not only Caniggia, but also Carlos Tevez and Datolo have had close acts of friendship with Maradona, especially what the latter did on the ground when he found Maradona to celebrate after scoring a goal The action of stacking arhats, pressing back and forth is very indecent.

It’s not that no one has doubted Maradona’s sexuality, but the endless lace news of the Argentine football king, the girlfriend who changes every few months, and countless illegitimate children living all over the world are too convincing: Maradona Although Dona behaves very gay, he is not GAY.

After the Argentina-Nigeria match, "Same-Sex Kiss" and "Streaking for the Championship" successfully grabbed the headlines of sports news around the world.

When the whole people were discussing Maradona, many people who feared that the world would not be chaotic suggested: "To be honest, the pictures of Maradona's relatives hurt the eyes. The World Cup in South Africa selected by "The Sun" He is one of the top ten unsexy characters! If the head coach must have something to happen with the players, Loew and the German players, Orston and the English players, even Lippi and the Italian players are more eye-catching than this !"

Then the proposal was moved to the newspaper by the media.

Then there were piles of votes.

Germany and England were all over the place in these polls.

"If you win the championship, please invite the head coach and players to have a kiss of the century!" Countless fans suggested.

"Auston and Beckham" was far ahead in all votes, with a total of more than 270 million votes.

Other "Auston and Owen", "Auston and Joe Hart", "Auston and Gerrard" are also far ahead.

There are even options such as "Auston and Koch", "Auston and Bender", "Auston and Portillo", "Loew and Auston" to visit each other.

The BBC interviewed the England coach's views on this time.

Carl, who thought it was just a joke, smiled at the camera and said: "If England can really win the world championship, I would be happy to kiss ten people, let alone one."

The sense of crisis in the England wags suddenly surged up.

They didn't want to have the same experience as Canigia's wife.

And in the eyes of the wives in England, Auston is a more threatening figure than Maradona.

Not to mention that a woman doesn't like her significant other to be kissed by others, and at home, she often hears her boyfriend/husband talking about the boss talking non-stop. If you give them intimate contact, what if there are signs of bending!

Moreover, Caniggia's wife could still publicly scold Maradona at the beginning, and they wanted to scold Oston after the World Cup...

So the English wives, who originally expected to come to South Africa after the 20th, went back after watching a game for sightseeing, changed their itineraries and came to South Africa a week in advance.

They have to closely monitor their husbands and try their best to prevent certain things from happening.

Beckham's wife Victoria is the organizer and action planner of the England wives in this World Cup.

When Beckham asked Carl for leave to pick up the plane, Carl was still surprised: "You are such a self-disciplined and image-conscious person. It's not like Victoria doesn't know, and you're both old and married, and she still doesn't trust you?"

'She is worried about you. ’ Beckham complained silently in his heart, but he only said half of the words on the face: "Victoria threatened me that if I didn't let her come, she would think that I did something behind her back."

Carl was a little curious: "She's going to decide what you did behind her back? Flirting with a female model star?"

'Fuck with you. ’ Beckham thought to himself, then added: “That’s about it, I’m leaving.”

Beckham turned around and left. He had just entered the elevator when he heard a voice: "Wait for me!"

Carl ran over quickly and squeezed into the elevator: "I'll go to the airport with you."

Beckham showed a somewhat embarrassed smile: "You don't need to borrow Victoria's with me, she doesn't bring much, I can handle it myself, besides, there is a taxi driver."

"I didn't want to accompany you specifically. I was also going to pick up people at the airport. I just received a call and they had already got off the plane. I guess they came on the same flight as Victoria."

"Who did you pick up?"

"England's two mascots came to negotiate with FIFA for the right to host the World Cup in 18."

Beckham didn't respond for a while: "Who?"

"Prince William and Prince Harry."

Beckham: "..."

Speechless all the way.

When the taxi was about to arrive at the airport, Beckham prayed secretly in his heart: I am not stuck with Karl 24 hours a day, Victoria, don’t think too much...

On June 6, 16 World Cup participating teams completed the first round of the match.

南非1:1墨西哥，乌拉圭0:0法国，德国4:0加纳，荷兰2:0丹麦，科特迪瓦0:0葡萄牙……

In the first round of this group stage, the first upset since the start of the World Cup was revealed, that is, Spain in Group H was not inferior to the Swiss team at 0:1, continuing the curse of not being able to perform well in the World Cup for 76 years. It cast a shadow over the road to the next World Cup in South Africa.

6月17日，随着一场南非0:3乌拉圭的比赛，世界杯32强的第二次对决也拉开了序幕。

Among them, France vs. Mexico, Argentina vs. Greece, England vs. Algeria, Portugal vs. North Korea, Germany vs. Serbia, and the Netherlands vs. Japan are all considered focus battles.

1: 0!

In this game where Algeria devoted all its body and mind to guarding against death and not attacking but only flattening, the England team finally relied on a free kick taken by Beckham in the second half to win the game.

During the group stage of the World Cup in South Africa, where each team has only three games and 5 points to qualify, England has already won a place in the top [-].

However, in view of the fact that group No.2 will fight another group No.1 in the quarter-finals, the Three Lions must strive for the first place in Group C.

In this way, in the quarter-finals, the challenge is to be second in group D. After surviving the quarter-finals, the chances of entering the quarter-finals will be higher.

It's just the second round, and it's not yet clear which team in Group D will play against England in the future.

Because the most popular German team lost to Serbia 0:1 in the second group match, another big upset.

The qualifying situation in Group D was confusing, so Carl stopped worrying about it. He just continued to prepare for England's next game, and then waited for the situation in Group D to become clearer.

On June 6, the Three Lions ushered in their last group match.

Nelson Mandela Bay against Slovenia.

This game has attracted worldwide attention. Portugal vs. Brazil, which is second only to Group G, has a slightly higher degree of attention than Germany vs. South Korea and Spain vs. Chile.

Under normal circumstances, it should be the match between Germany and Spain that attracts more attention, because the two teams that are the favorites to win the World Cup have not had a smooth journey in the early stage. It depends on this final group match to determine whether they can qualify.

But in fact, the England team, which has been confirmed to qualify, has gathered more fans inside and outside the stadium.

The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium is also a medium-capacity stadium, seating just over 48000 fans.

The atmosphere inside and outside the stadium was hot.

Prince William and Prince Harry, two representatives of the British royal family, are entering the arena through the VIP channel under heavy security guards.

England fans watched the two princes from a distance, raised the national flag in their hands, and shouted "God save the queen!".

The figures of the princes were still flashing at the entrance of the passage, and there was a sudden commotion from behind the crowd!

Then came the stormy cheers!

"England is coming!" shouted countless fans.

Following the eyes of the fans, a bus with an overall white color with red lines and an England flag painted on the rear half of the body is slowly approaching!

Thousands of fans gathered at the entrance of the stadium, shoulder to shoulder and stomping their feet. It looked like a fly would be crushed to death if it flew in.

But when such a huge bus tried to pass through the crowd and drove towards the entrance of the passage, the fans quickly retreated to both sides like the Red Sea separated by Moses, but a lane was separated for the bus in just over a minute. wide passage.

The bus of the Three Lions stopped steadily at the entrance of the passage.

Everyone stared at the car door with fanatical eyes,

The media and fans were eager to try, and they all tightened their cameras.

In the eyes of everyone, the door of the bus opened!
