I'm Kaka Kaka

Chapter 108

At the last moment of the game, Ronaldo made another long-range shot and scored the last goal of the game.

Brazil won 5:2. In addition to an own goal, Ronaldo scored twice, Kaka and Ronaldinho made contributions respectively. Brazil scored 11 goals in three group matches and advanced strongly.

Although Costa Rica has the same four points as Turkey, it is regrettable to be out because the goal difference is three less than the opponent.

The next day, with Poland's 3-1 victory over the US team, all 48 games in the group stage were completed, and the top sixteen of the 2002 World Cup was freshly released.

Among the favorites, Brazil, England, Italy, Spain, and Germany advanced smoothly, while France, Argentina, and Portugal were unfortunately eliminated.

The defending champion France team had one draw and two losses, and failed to score a goal in three games, which became the biggest joke. The Brazilians, who were hoping to avenge 98, gloated and felt a little regretful at the same time.

Argentina had one win, one draw and one loss, and was eliminated by one point less than the No.2 Sweden in the group. The game they lost was lost to England. It can be said that they were sent back by the Three Lions.

The most worth mentioning is of course Portugal in Group D.

2-3输美国，4-0赢波兰，0-1输韩国。

There is nothing to say about the first two games, and the third one is more controversial.

Pinto was sent off for shoveling Park Ji-sung, while Beto turned two yellows into one red. Portugal had to play 9 on 11. As a result, South Korea relied on Park Ji-sung's lore to eliminate Portugal's golden generation led by Figo.

过程不做评判，反正按照一些网友后面的总结，意大利06的世界杯冠军、西班牙08、10、12的大爆发和葡萄牙16年的欧洲杯冠军十有八九是因为这届杯赛在韩国队身上攒够了人品赢来的。

So... Korean team NB.

The Brazilian team left South Korea and traveled to Kobe, Japan, to prepare for their quarter-final match against Belgium.

The fans were very enthusiastic, but it was a pity that Kaka did not see the slogan "Welcome XXX to Japan" written in those boring jokes in the crowd.

Training, preparing for battle.

……

On June 6th, the quarter-finals officially kicked off. The first game was on June 15th, Germany played against Paraguay.

The game was very stalemate. Both sides had offense and defense, but they couldn't break through the gate of the goalkeeper's handle until the 89th minute of the game. Seeing that the game was about to stoppage time, Kahn kicked the ball with a big kick, Frings made a header in the frontcourt, and Schneider, who was inserted at high speed, made a pass from the right sideline.

German striker Neuville, who started for the first time, outflanked the front point, and scored the only goal of the game with a half-volley shot with his right foot 7 meters in front of the goal.

With this goal, Germany beat Paraguay 1-0 and became the first team to reach the top 8.

Paraguay's hopes of reaching the top 8 for the first time came to naught, and coach Maldini announced his resignation after the game.

……

Also on June 6, the second round of the World Cup knockout round of 15 was whistled at the Niigata Giant Swan Stadium, and England played against Denmark.

The Three Lions took the lead in the 4th minute of the game.

Campbell headed over to Owen in the frontcourt. Laursen headed the ball out of the baseline. Beckham took a corner kick from the left.

In the 22nd minute, Beckham made a diagonal pass from the right. The Danish team made a clearance in the penalty area. The ball fell to Sinclair's feet. Sinclair faced the defender's block and pushed across the left edge of the penalty area to the middle. Butt knocked with the outside of his right foot. The ball hit Gravesen's leg and bounced in front of the goal. Owen stopped the ball with his right foot 8 meters in front of the goal.

This is Owen's 17th goal for England.

In the 44th minute, Mills threw a throw-in from the right, and Nee Jensen made a header and hit Beckham's chest.

England beat Denmark 3-0 and became the second team to reach the top 2. Their opponents will be Brazil or Belgium.

Denmark failed to score for the first time in their nearly 13 World Cup matches. In the last World Cup, the chasing teenager Owen scored his first goal in this cup. Beckham assisted Ferdinand and Husky to score. England's two good looks became the most dazzling stars in the game.

In the 89th minute, Finnan took a free kick from the right and Quinn competed for the top in the center of the penalty area. Hierro pulled the jersey behind him. The referee Frisk awarded a penalty kick and gave Hierro a yellow card.

Keane took the penalty kick and shot in the lower left corner. Casillas misjudged the direction and could only watch the ball into the net. Ireland drew 1-1.

This score lasted until the end of the regular game, and neither side made any achievements in overtime, so they had to enter a penalty shootout.

Casillas saved Connolly's right-footed push and Kilbani's left-footed shot in the third and fourth rounds respectively, and Spain won 3-2 and advanced to the round of 16.

The Spaniards, who advanced in a thrilling manner, smiled and celebrated the victory of the game. I really hope they can still laugh so happily after knowing what is waiting for them in front of them.

It is worth mentioning that there were 10 yellow cards in this game, and the Mexican captain Max was sent off before the end of the game.

The U.S. will face Germany in the quarter-finals, the second time they have gone that far in a World Cup since reaching the semi-finals at the first World Cup in 1.
