World Cup The second round of competition is all over.
The number of goals scored in the second round was obviously higher than in the first round.
Of the sixteen games, only three were draws, and only two were 0:0 draws.
The number of goals scored in the second round reached 44. In addition to the 34 goals scored in the first round, the total number of goals scored in the first two rounds of this World Cup has reached 78 goals.
The average number of goals per game has reached 2.44, which can only be regarded as neither high nor low.
However, compared to the 85 goals scored by World Cup in the last two rounds, it is still far behind.
After all, in the last World Cup, there were many big-scoring games.
For example, in the second round, Belgium 5:2 Tunisia, England 6:1 Panama, these two games were incredible to many people.
I believe that in the second round, many teams will show surprising abilities in order to qualify for the group stage.
After all, there are not many teams that have already qualified.
The last round of the game is the most exciting game.
Although Spain National Team has already determined the qualifying quota, and due to its own goal difference of 5, Argentina only has 3, and Netherlands has 0.
In the last game, facing the Syria team that was already determined to be eliminated, Spain felt relaxed.
A football team that was deeply involved in the war was able to enter the World Cup main game, which made many Asia countries feel a little ashamed!
However, Syria's combat power can only be said to be average. Facing the powerful Spain National Team, they have no chance of winning.
The Syrian players, who were participating in the World Cup for the first time, said that they were very happy to reach the World Cup.
Before this World Cup, the Syria Football Association had already set three goals for the players: score a goal, score a point, and win a game.
After two games, Syria failed to break the opponent's goal and did not gain any points. In the last game against the more powerful Spain National Team, their hope was to score a goal.
Syria forward Omar Soma was very humble when he was interviewed. He hoped that in the last game, as a fan of Li Mingyu, he hoped to exchange jerseys with Li Mingyu after the game.
However, Li Mingyu did not respond directly to the other party's words.
Because, in Li Mingyu's heart, I will exchange jerseys with you unless your performance on the court can impress me.
This is just like in 2002 World Cup, after China national football team played with Brazil National Team, they wanted to exchange jerseys with the opponent's players, but the opponent ignored them.
Exchanging jerseys is actually a sign of sympathy.
Today's Li Mingyu no longer exchanges jerseys with other players at will.
The collection room in his home will only collect jerseys of famous players.
Syria's team does not have a jersey worth collecting.
Unless the opponent can score a goal in the game, then Li Mingyu may consider exchanging jerseys with the opponent.
On November 29, the third round of the group stage kicked off again.
In the third round of the group stage, each group's competition will be held at the same time.
At 18:00, the two games of Group A started at the same time.
Qatar versus Egypt, Mexico versus Uruguay.
Mexico has been confirmed to qualify, and the second qualifying spot is available to Uruguay and Qatar.
However, the suspense of the game was basically over in the first half.
Egypt National Team, who had no hope of qualifying, completely let go. Salah scored two domineering goals in the first half, basically announcing the host's elimination.
On the other side, Mexico and Uruguay did not score in the first half.
In the second half, the situation suddenly changed. Mexico forward Lozano, who plays for Napoli, scored a goal in the first five minutes.
On the other side, Qatar also took a corner kick opportunity, and their forward Hassan scored a header, making the score 1:2, giving the Qatar people another glimmer of hope of advancement.
However, when the game reached the 70th minute, Uruguay's striker Suarez leveled the score with a world wave kick.
In the 75th minute, on another field, the magical Salah sent a scalpel-like through ball to help the team score another goal.
The score of 1:3 made Qatar fans burst into tears.
In the 90th minute, Suarez scored another goal, beating Mexico.
This goal allowed Uruguay, who was originally in second place, to directly move to the first place in the group.
After the game, the two teams that qualified Group A were born.
Uruguay and Mexico advanced to the top 16 as first and second place in their group respectively.
Their opponents will be Group B, who is second in the group and first in the group respectively.
At 22:00, the two games of Group B kicked off at the same time on time.
As a result, Belgium defeated Morocco 3:0 without any suspense and won the first place in the group.
Japan National Team tied with Chile National Team 2:2, and finally got a ticket to the top 16.
The opponents for the first two games of the quarter-finals have been decided.
Uruguay VS Japan, Mexico VS Belgium.
These are two games that are definitely worth looking forward to.
On November 30, the competition between Group C also began.
Li Mingyu and the team came to Qatar University Stadium.
This stadium is located in the north of Qatar Doha. Qatar University is a national comprehensive university.
The stadium was built specifically for World Cup, replacing the university's current track and field stadium and has a seating capacity of 43,520.
The stadium's golden facade blends traditional Arabic geometric patterns with free-form rough surfaces, symbolizing looking back to the past and looking forward to the future.
After the end of World Cup, the number of Qatar University Stadium seats will be reduced to 23,500 for college athletes.
In this game, the players of Spain were very relaxed. Everyone started the pre-match warm-up training while talking and laughing on the court.
Spain's warm-up training is very unique and was exclusively invented by Enrique, allowing players to quickly get into the rhythm of the game.
Continuous running, passing the ball, and playing the ball quickly in a small area, the players must complete all the steps like a robot without any slack.
The fans in the stands were once again attracted by Spain's warm-up training.
The first two warm-up trainings of Spain have attracted the attention of fans. Many professional coaches have come forward to analyze the training system of Enrique. They all agreed that this training system is very scientific and reasonable and is very suitable for promotion.
Enrique was standing aside, watching the players' warm-up movements with an expressionless face. Looking at these players, Enrique's heart was extremely hot.
Enrique is actually not focused on this game anymore, because the result of this game will not have any impact on his ranking.
Enrique is now thinking about his opponent for the next game.
France, Poland, South Korea, South Africa.
The last round, France VS South Africa, Poland VS South Korea.
This group is actually the weirdest group right now.
We assume that in the last round, South Africa defeated France, and South Korea defeated Poland.
Then something very funny will happen.
These four teams all have 4 points. At that time, it will depend on the goal difference of the four teams.
Poland 4:0 South Africa, this is very advantageous.
However, these are all things for later, and both South Africa and South Korea need to win.
At 18:00, the competition at Qatar University Stadium and Group C kicked off.
Spain VS Syria.
This game did not attract much attention, because although Spain played well, this game was destined to be a meaningless game.
Everyone's attention is on another focus battle, Argentina VS Netherlands.
This game is very cruel for Netherlands National Team. They must win in order to squeeze out Argentina and get second place in the group.
If there is a tie, Argentina has already achieved enough goal difference on Syria, and now Argentina, which has 4 more goal differences than Netherlands, is sitting firmly on Diaoyutai.
However, the fans' attention still has to return to Qatar University Stadium, because just three minutes into the game, a goal appeared.
As soon as the game started, Li Mingyu relied on his superior strength to stir up trouble in Syria's midfield.
The fans at the scene were very enthusiastic, and every move Li Mingyu made would attract excited shouts and applause.
In front of Li Mingyu, the players of Syria are really like children who have just learned to walk.
After playing in the strong teams of La Liga and Premier League, and after experiencing in the European competition, Li Mingyu's strength is already at the level of a world-class star.
The players of Syria simply cannot keep up with the pace of Li Mingyu and Spain National Team.
Only three minutes into the game, Syria made a huge marking error in the backcourt.
Spain National Team used their wonderful movement to tear Syria's defense into chaos.
Li Mingyu made a through ball and Pedri's exquisite movement left Syria's defensive players helpless.
Although Pedri made some mistakes in stopping the ball, World Cup faced his first ball and after adjusting, he scored the goal steadily.
Pedri was overjoyed after scoring the goal. This was his first goal for World Cup.
Pedri ran for twenty meters and rushed directly in front of Li Mingyu, and the two embraced each other affectionately.
Although Li Mingyu left Barcelona, Pedri has always believed that Li Mingyu's one and a half seasons at Barcelona was his happiest time at Barcelona.
Syria's players did not expect to lose the ball so quickly.
However, the gap between the two teams was too obvious. In three minutes, Syria's players had already scored without even touching the ball.
Syria forward Omar Soma shook his head. He knew how difficult it would be for him to score a goal today, but now that he was here, he couldn't be timid.
Omar Soma applauded everyone, trying to cheer up everyone's mood.
However, the results were minimal, after all, not everyone expected to score goals.
Especially when facing such a powerful opponent, psychological fear is difficult to avoid.
Facing Syria who had no resistance, Li Mingyu only played the first half of the game and was replaced.
The score in the first half was 3:0. Li Mingyu had one pass, two shots and two goals, making Li Mingyu top of the scorer list with eight goals in three games.
Most of World Cup, eight goals, is basically the total number of goals in the final Golden Boot.
Li Mingyu What is surprising is that he gave up the opportunity to score a goal in the second half.
According to Li Mingyu's strength, it shouldn't be difficult to score another goal in the second half and complete the hat trick.
Three consecutive hat tricks, let alone in World Cup, are rare even in ordinary leagues.
However, Enrique replaced him in order to give him a better rest to cope with the upcoming knockout rounds.
No matter it is Team France National Team or Team Poland, they are not easy opponents to deal with.
As a result, Spain beat Syria 6:0 and qualified first in the group.
After the game, Li Mingyu rejected Omar Soma's request to exchange jerseys, causing dissatisfaction among Syria fans.
However, Li Mingyu doesn't care at all about the barking of this negative dog.
Argentina National Team defeated Netherlands 1:0, and Messi scored the only goal.
The Oranje once again fell in the group stage.
Depay's tears made Netherlands's fans heartbroken.
After the game, the hug between Messi and Depay made people feel the warmth of football.
Group D's two games, Li Mingyu and Spain National Team were all in the hotel, gathering together to watch to see who their opponent would be in the knockout round!
However, in the end, what shocked Spain National Team was that Lewandowski of team Poland once again showed off his power and scored twice in a row in the second half, allowing team Poland to defeat team South Korea 2:0.
In another game, Mbappe of France National Team was not to be outdone and also scored twice, helping the team defeat South Africa 2:0.
All the speculation before the game came to nothing.
And this time, Poland team ranked first in the group by virtue of their goal difference, while France National Team could only settle for second place.
So Spain's opponent in the knockout round is naturally the defending champion France National Team.
France National Team also broke the curse of death in the group stage for the defending champion since World Cup in 2010.
In 2010 World Cup, the defending champion Italy ranked fourth in the group stage.
In 2014, World Cup and the defending champion Spain failed to qualify from the group.
In 2018, World Cup and the defending champion Germany National Team failed in the group stage.
This time, France National Team finally broke through this curse, but they have to face Spain National Team, the recognized strongest team of this year's World Cup, in the knockout round.
In the history of World Cup, only Italy and Brazil have successfully defended their titles, but that was a long time ago.
Since England World Cup in 1966, no country has successfully defended the World Cup title.
I wonder if France National Team can achieve greater success this time.
Spain VS France, Argentina VS Poland.
The strong dialogue makes people want to see these two confrontations immediately.
