v4 Chapter 793: Group match dust settled

() 30-year-old Kendall Worston is Costa Rica's right back, currently playing for the Vancouver Whitecaps in the Major League. This team is in Canada. The biggest shareholder of the club is NBA star Steve Nash. His brother Martin Nash was once the core of the Whitecaps midfielder, but has now retired.

Worston is not a character worth writing about in football, and he is mentioned here for a reason.

After losing to Serbia and Brazil 0:1 and 0:2 in the first two rounds, Costa Rica has been eliminated in advance. In the last round of the game against Switzerland, after falling behind 0:1, Worston scored with a header in a corner kick in the second half.

This goal is Costa Rica's first goal in Russia this year, and Costa Rica will be the team to score the 32nd goal in the 2018 World Cup. So far, all the top 32 have scored goals.

Four years ago in Brazil, the top 32 also scored goals. This may be the effect of the diffraction of the ‘heroes’ order. Before that, almost every World Cup had a commander.

To be far away, Greece in 1994, Tunisia in 1998, China in 2002, Trinidad and Tobago in 2006, Algeria and Honduras in 2010. However, in these teams, except for Greece and China, although the others did not score goals, they had a tie, which is not as pure and pure as the two ancient civilizations.

Worston broke the beast for Costa Rica, but Costa’s "Heroic Order" Brian Ruiz finally returned empty-handed, and he lived up to this controversy.

If it weren't for Nadé Navas for Real Madrid, Ruiz, who is 33 years old this year, is Costa's number one star. This buddy has traveled in Belgium, the Eredivisie, and the Premier League in the past ten years. He once won the Eredivisie golden boots in Twente. He is now playing for the Portuguese Super League in Lisbon.

In 2006, the 21-year-old Ruiz was firmly established as the main striker of Costa Rica. At that time, Napa was still the grandson of others in the domestic league.

Ruiz, who has a good pass and scored in the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, was a substitute for B Fei in Lisbon last season. Perhaps it is because of his age, Ruiz missed a few good chances to score in the first two games.

Even in the last scene, God actually left Ruiz with a seam. 90+3, Switzerland 2:1 Costa Rica, the Swiss Munchen defender knocked down Costa Arsenal winger Joel Campbell in the penalty area, and the referee awarded a penalty.

The 26-year-old Campbell is the star of hope signed by Wenger four years ago. He seemed to have played in the Premier League last season.

Ruiz came to take the penalty, and the opportunity was in front of him, but he hit the crossbar with one kick. Swiss goalkeeper Jan Sommer didn't pounce, but the football bounced off and hit the back of his head and crashed into the goal.

Sommer: "..."

Ruiz: "..."

This is fate.

After four years of sharpening the sword, as the World Cup group stage dust settles, half of the 32 heroes will bid farewell to this occasion. Among these 16 people, eight returned empty-handed this time, beating the expectations of the world.

Among these martial arts humiliations, Lewand and Muller are the most famous, Poland and Germany are out of the weak offensive, and their weaknesses have to be blamed.

Of the 16 heroes who have successfully advanced with the team, three of them have yet to score, but Mandzukic, Griezmann and Zagoev still have a chance.

There are a total of 64 matches in the World Cup, of which 48 group matches accounted for 3/4 of them. More than half of the schedule, 21 heroes have scored 41 goals. Zhuo Yang 7, Kane 5, Cristiano Ronaldo 4, Beauty 3, Cherishev and Lukaku, who were not heroes, also scored 3 goals respectively.

Although there is no team that swallows the eggs, but there are zero points, even Panama, Egypt is really surprising.

After 0:1 Uruguay and 1:3 Russia, Egypt faced Saudi Arabia, who also lost two consecutive games and failed to score 6 eggs in the final round of the Battle of Honor.

As a result, Salah scored the first goal in the first half, but Saudi Arabia came in two stoppage time periods and won 2:1, which fully explained the traditional advantage of the Asian team over the African team.

Salah, who returned from injury, did his best. He swept Egypt's two goals in this World Cup. Although he walked poorly, he still wore a glow.

The Asian teams performed well this year. Although Saudi Arabia, Iran and South Korea have been eliminated, they all have their own wins. This makes Asia not the bottom of the group this time, and South Korea has directly caused a waste of German logistics ingredients.

Japan has advanced, and their promotion is even more amazing than France.

After the first two rounds of Group h, Japan 4, Senegal 4, Colombia 3, Poland 0. In the last desperate match, Japan lost 0:1 to Poland, where Lewand did not score a goal, but Colombia also defeated Senegal 1:0.

Colombia first qualified in the 6-point group, Japan and Senegal scored 4 points, and both scored 4 goals and lost 4 goals. The two teams also played 2:2 in the second round. In the end, according to the rules of the World Cup, Japan won the second place with a "spiritual civilization" due to two yellow cards in 4:6.

Mbaye Niang, who was once known as the "Xin Zhuoyang" in AC Milan, and Salif Sane, the midfielder of Fort Mady, must both regret and want to scold the streets, because in Senegal’s 6 yellow cards, they each contributed. Two.

There are zero-point sorrows, and there are high-rollers who get full marks. The Chinese team, Croatia and Belgium are the three unreasonable masters. Three wins and three wins accumulate 9 points, what are you looking at?

And the full scores of the three teams are full of gold, the Chinese team 4:1 France, 3:1 Denmark, Lao Tzu is the elite.

Croatia 3:0 Argentina directly triggered a big discussion about Messi's leadership and walking ability in world football.

In the top 32, Belgium, whose offensive ability is second only to the Chinese team, blocked England 1:0 in the strong dialogue. Of course, this is also related to the six main players in England, including Kane, Sterling, Lin Huang, and Henderson, who have already qualified in advance.

Strong dialogue requires a breath of air, especially for teams that are ambitions to win the championship. I don’t know why England’s comity is the first place. Maybe they judge that Japan will get the first place in Group H, which is the last to play in Group H.

The British Empire was picking up its opponents, but Colombia picked up, and Belgium picked up Japan. However, with Japan's impressive technical and tactical capabilities this year, it's possible that England's multiple-choice questions were wrong.

Group C of the Chinese team will face Group B in the round of 16 knockout, which is the Iberian Peninsula double teeth. China vs Portugal, France vs Spain.

Zhuo Yang actually didn't want to provoke Ronaldo, and Ronaldo didn't even want to touch Zhuo Yang, but who made your unfortunate penalty not scored. In the end, Iran's penalty kick was tied 1:1 in stoppage time.

Five hundred years ago, Zhang Wuji destroyed the main altar of Zoroastrianism in Persia and traveled to Francis with Xiao Zhao, which is now Portugal. He gave the Yitian Sword to Columbus and asked him to take it to the American New World, leaving the Dragon Sword in the Franco machine.

Five hundred years later, there were Messi and Ronaldo. This is the origin of Ronaldo and Iran.

Ronaldo's first goal in the World Cup was to chop Iran in 2006, but he couldn't do it this year, so the Dragon Sword had to come to the pk golden hoop.
