Chapter 1218 World Cup legend best half area
With the tragic exit of Italy, the group stage has officially come to an end, and the 16 teams that have advanced have also come to light. Group A: Brazil, France, Group B: England, Greece; Group C: Argentina, Nigeria; Group D: Chile, the United States; Group: Germany, Sweden; Group F: China, Paraguay; Group G: Netherlands, Uruguay; Group H: Ghana, Russia.

Among them, the American team won a big victory. Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Paraguay all qualified. This is the first time in history, which also means that the American team has begun to rise strongly in the World Cup.

The Asian teams were completely defeated. Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Australia were all eliminated. Only the Chinese team unexpectedly qualified for Asian football.

Africa's performance has been very stable. They also have two teams that have reached the top 16 this time. Ghana and Nigeria, two veteran teams, have defended the honor of African football.

Although Mexico in Latin America was unexpectedly eliminated, Uncle Sam, who likes basketball, has sprung up in football, saving a spark for Latin America.

With its strong background, Europe still occupies nearly half of the top 16 of the World Cup. Although Portugal, Spain, and Italy were upset, 7 teams still keep the World Cup in the European and American competition.

After the group stage, FIFA and the South Africa World Cup Organizing Committee announced the best team for the group stage (442)

Goalkeeper of the Year: Paraguayan Vilal

It was his high block that blocked Spain's numerous shots that eliminated title favorites Spain from the round of 16, and his performance in the group stage was world-class.

Best Left Back: Marcelo of Brazil.

The world's number one left back, the backbone of the Brazilian team's defense, after experiencing youthful frizz, the 26-year-old Marcelo performed perfectly on both offensive and defensive ends, and is an important force for the Brazilian team to move forward.

Best centre-back: Spain's Pique and Greece's Papadopoulos
Although Spain did not play well in the group stage and the team failed to qualify, the world's number one central defender Pique still showed his strength and won a penalty for Spain. Spain's exit is not to blame for the back line , but something went wrong with their midfield.

Greece's ability to reach the top 16 is due to their central defender and captain Papadopoulos. Without his outstanding performance, the Greek team would go home after three games.

Best Right Back: Li Huan of China
The best defender in the world, a scoring machine with excellent offensive and defensive skills, scored 6 goals in three group matches, ranked first in the World Cup scorer list, and led the Chinese team to the top 16 by himself, worthy of the No. .1 designation.

Best midfielder: Ozil, Kaka, Nasri, Muntari
The Brazilian midfielder is excellent both offensively and defensively, which is one of the driving forces for Brazil to move forward, but now he is more about organization, and his shooting ability has not been able to show.

German midfielder Mesut Ozilme's goals and passes have been key to Germany's stamina as the top teams falter.

In the three group matches of 'Macho' Muntari Smith, with two goals and active fighting, he straightened up the hardest waist for the African Army.

Nasri is the engine of the French team. He is the hero of the French team's draw with Brazil and an indispensable source of motivation. He is now the French team's Zidane.

Best Forward: Messi, Pato

No.2 in the scorer list, Pato, who scored four goals, was elected without dispute

Although there are only two goals, Messi's role cannot be measured by goals. In fact, he still has a considerable amount of time to act as an organizer and passer.

Half of the top 32 in the World Cup went home, and half stayed and continued to advance to the only throne.Those who are eliminated are not necessarily weak, and those left behind are not necessarily strong. In many cases, the team's character, style of play, state, and accidental factors determine the result.If we play again, maybe the qualifying team will be completely different.But there is no assumption in this world that no one can step into the same river twice.Fortunately, the World Cup is held every four years. If I missed it this time, there will be a chance to make up for it next time.For a team, as long as they continue to work hard and sum up, they will definitely reach the pinnacle of the World Cup.

Sending away 16 eliminated players, Brazil did not calm down because of the loss of half of the team, but became more lively because of the arrival of the knockout round. Everyone understands that the real World Cup feast has just begun at this time, the group stage Just a dessert before a big meal.

根据国际足联的分组分区规定：ACEG这四个小组的No.1和将和BDFH这四个小组的No.2出现在同一个半区，另一个半区则包括BDFH这四个小组的No.1和ACEG这四个小组的No.2。16强新鲜出炉之后，他们之间的对阵形势也就一目了然了。

The upper half is:

A1 Brazil VS B2 Greece
C1 Argentina VS D2 USA
E1 Germany VS F2 Paraguay

G1 Netherlands VS H2 Russia

The lower half is:

A2 France vs B1 England

C2 Nigeria VS D1 Chile
E2 Sweden VS F1 Chinese Team

G2 Uruguay VS H1 Ghana
The situation of the quarter-finals in the first half is as follows:
The winner of A1 Brazil and B2 Greece VS the winner of C1 Argentina and D2 USA

Winner of E1 Germany and F2 Paraguay vs Winner of G1 Netherlands and H2 Russia

The situation of the top eight in the second half is as follows:
The winners of A2 France and B1 England VS the winners of C2 Nigeria and D1 Chile

Winners of E2 Sweden and F1 China VS winners of G2 Uruguay and H1 Ghana

Judging from the current situation, the giants in the upper half are obviously higher than the lower half. The Brazilian team must enter the quarter-finals against their old enemy Argentina. The semi-finals will face the winners of Germany and the Netherlands without upsets. It is said that every promotion will be very difficult.

The winners of England and France in the lower half have no opponents except Uruguay who is slightly stronger. The winner between them is almost certain to enter the final.

However, the media and fans in Brazil did not complain, because the reason for this situation is not that Brazil has no status in FIFA, and FIFA does not give the hosts face, but because this World Cup is too unpopular, and Italy and Spain have been rejected. Elimination, otherwise the second half will never be so weak. In fact, Brazil still did a lot of behind-the-scenes work in this World Cup. They tried to avoid the most powerful Spain and the difficult Italy, but they did not expect that they would not even have a group qualify.If Brazil can expect such a situation, it might as well lose to France in the group stage and take the second place in the group.

Brazil's "Global Sports" believes that since it wants to win the championship, it is impossible to avoid all the strong teams. The German team is Brazil's defeated team. The Dutch team is weak. It is not too difficult for the Brazilian team to beat them. There are tens of millions of Brazilian fans. , The Brazilian team should have full confidence in themselves.

"Folha Sao Paulo" also believes that it is also a good thing for the Brazilian team to meet a strong team, so that the state of the Brazilian team can be fully mobilized and reach its peak in the final.At the same time, Brazilian journalists also hope to play France in the final to avenge the 98 World Cup.

After the group stage, of course England and France were the happiest. The English media ambitiously put forward the slogan of winning the World Cup after 48 years.

"The Sun" believes that England has encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as they beat the French team, they can basically reach the final easily. However, Brazil, the favorite in the upper half, will have to overcome two difficulties if they want to enter the final. After the final, there must be physical and mental exhaustion, injuries and many red and yellow cards. I am afraid that their host advantage will be offset by a lot. Facing the England of the conservative master Fabio Capello, England must have a 50.00% chance of winning.

France's "L'Equipe" is even more happy than England. They believe that although the Brazilian team has to overcome many difficulties, they will definitely enter the final by virtue of the host's advantage. As long as the French team can beat England to enter the final, they will defeat their defeated opponents again. It is not impossible for Brazil to win the championship.

Not only are they happy, but the veteran team Uruguay is also very excited. In the 50s, they beat Brazil at home to win the World Cup. In 2011, they beat Argentina at home to win the Copa America. In the good half area, the Uruguayan's ambition to win the World Cup three times is like a spring grass that can't be stopped and unstoppable.

Uruguay's "Nation" believes that this is God's arrangement. They won No.3 in the last World Cup. This World Cup is obviously ready for them to win.Thinking about their opponents Ghana in the quarter-finals and Sweden in the quarter-finals (the Chinese team was directly ignored by them), the Uruguayans are so happy that they even sleep dreaming of winning the championship.

In fact, not only England, Uruguay, and France, the three giants that have won the World Cup, are inflated with confidence, shouting to enter the final, even Sweden, Ghana, China, Chile, and Nigeria are also ready to move, saying that now is a good time to move forward. Here's the chance.

Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic said: "We have a good chance, I think Sweden can stand out from the Chinese team, Uruguay and Ghana and reach the semi-finals. If we are lucky to meet England, we have a chance. With a psychological advantage, reaching the final is not a dream."

Ghanaian midfielder Essien said that Africa must break through the hurdle of the quarter-finals, and Ghana should be able to take on this important task.

The head coach and left-back Li Huan of the Chinese team also said after the game that it is time to consider the quarterfinals, and they are assigned to the best half. As long as the Chinese team works hard like the group stage, neither the quarterfinals nor the semifinals is a dream .

Immediately after the end of the group stage, they will enter the knockout stage. The 16th team will continue to fight for the championship. The murderous and bloody atmosphere in the air is stronger than that of the group stage.
