Chapter 1151 The knockout round is coming...

China's defeat of the United States did not exceed everyone's expectations, after all, its strength lies there.

Of course, this game also has many merits, especially the consecutive god-level saves made by the American goalkeeper Howard against Ai Luo, which became the focus of everyone's attention after the game. The fastest and most widely circulated online media even gave Howard a new nickname -- Huo Shen.

In addition to Howard's performance which has become the focus of everyone's attention, the Chinese team captain Ai Luo and the young player Zhang Yusuo have both been mentioned by the media. Zhang Yusuo, who accidentally replaced Gao Lin, performed well in the 67 minutes of his limited appearance.

With excellent physical fitness and strong sense of playing, he is considered to have unlimited potential. If he can continue to grow at the current growth rate, Zhang Yusuo will definitely become a core player of China's post-[-]s generation in time.

In this regard, neither the captain Aiello nor the head coach Guardiola was stingy with their praise, and they fully praised them in the regular press conference after the game.

Closer to home, the Chinese team has won three consecutive victories in the three group matches of Group G, that is, it has become the undisputed first place in the group, and the other qualifying place is the Portuguese team, which has won two wins and one loss in the three group matches.

Since the two games in Group H have not yet started, their opponents in the 1/8 finals did not come out.

However, before the final round of Group H, the European Red Devils Belgium had the clearest qualifying situation. They had won two consecutive victories in the first two rounds, and it was because they defeated Algeria, which ranked second with three points in the first round, and Russia, which had all drawn in the first two rounds and scored two points.

Therefore, Chinese head coach Guardiola can rest assured that they can avoid the powerful monsters gathered in Belgium in the 1/8 finals.

So there are only three potential opponents of the Chinese team - Algeria, Russia and South Korea.

With the current strength of the Chinese team, no matter which team they face, they can be easily defeated, and it is very likely that they will not pose any threat.

Although the Portuguese team has already qualified, head coach Paul Bento still has a headache. He knows that the team's biggest reliance is captain Cristiano Ronaldo, which means that the team's victory and defeat are all on him.

If, if Cristiano Ronaldo is completely restricted by Belgium in the 1/8 finals, it means that the team has lost the initiative. Thinking of Hazard, Miralas, Januzaj, Benteke and other young talents who have been famous in European football for the past two years, the uneasiness in my heart is even stronger.

Two hours after the match between China and the United States, the two games in Group H ended almost at the same time.

After 10 and 1 minutes of fierce fighting, Algeria drew 1:[-] with rival Russia, and Belgium beat South Korea, which meant that they became the second team in Group H to advance to the knockout round with one win, one draw and one loss in the group with four points.

But their future opponents should not be underestimated. It can even be said that they have just left the Longtan and entered the tiger's den.

※※※

In the end, after nearly half a month of fierce fighting, all sixteen teams that advanced to the knockout stage of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil were decided.

The qualifying teams are the hosts Brazil and Mexico in Group A, the Netherlands and Spain in Group B, Colombia and Greece in Group C, Costa Rica and Uruguay in Group D, Germany and France in Group E, Argentina and Nigeria in Group F, China and Portugal in Group G, and Belgium and Algeria in Group H.

All sixteen teams that advanced to the knockout round were divided into upper and lower halves, with eight teams in each half.

Upper half: Brazil VS Spain, Colombia VS Uruguay, Germany VS Nigeria, China VS Algeria.

Lower half: Netherlands VS Mexico, Costa Rica VS Greece, Argentina VS France, Villa VS Portugal.

Sixteen teams will decide the final champion in the remaining half a month.

It is worth mentioning that before the start of the Brazil World Cup, all the teams that were positioned as the favorites to win the championship all advanced to the top [-]. However, as the performance of each team in the group stage has changed, the bookmakers have also made new adjustments to the odds.

Spain, which was identified as the favorite to win the championship before the game, fell directly from first to fifth, while Brazil, which was originally ranked second, logically ranked first.

The Chinese team has the second odds of winning the championship, but William Hill, the three major European gaming companies, puts the Chinese team in the first place among the favorites.

In the information age, the speed of Internet information dissemination is very fast. William Hill adjusted the odds of the Chinese team to the first, which made many Chinese fans feel sincerely excited. It is a great honor to be the first among so many world powerhouses.

Even if the knockout round has not yet started, for the excited Chinese fans, William Hill's adjustment can at least be regarded as a recognition.

In addition, as the teams enter the World Cup round of [-], there is one odds that has not changed.

That's right!

2014年最佳射手的赔率依旧是艾洛1赔1·46遥遥领先,紧随其后的是葡萄牙队长克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多1赔4·53,排名第三的是阿根廷队长梅西,他以1赔4·62的略微劣势排名稍后。

At the same time, when the Chinese team entered the top [-] of the World Cup without bloodshed, those domestic fans who were about to move made a decision directly-go to Brazil!

Even though the tickets for the 1/8 finals between China and Algeria have been sold to sky-high prices by interested people, it still hasn't weakened the enthusiasm of Chinese fans.

Therefore, during the two days of the World Cup truce, the tourism bureau was very busy.

Of course, entry and exit will not allow all fans to go to Brazil. They have to wait for visas. It is precisely because they need visas to go to Brazil that many enthusiastic fans are disappointed...

Who told them not to decide in advance?
And those Chinese fans who have been watching football on vacation in Brazil are undoubtedly the happiest. They took their seats early in Porto Alegre, the largest city in the south of Sao Paulo, and waited for the start of the 1/8 finals.

During the two days of the truce, the extremely active media in Brazil were also very busy. They had to conduct interviews for the orders issued by their superiors, and this time happened to be the time for closed training for the teams that had advanced to the top [-].

Because entering the knockout round means that no mistakes can be made, otherwise it will have to wait until four years after being eliminated.

You must know that the four-year wait will change a lot. It can make a player at the peak of his career go to the bottom. Coupled with the uncertainty of the future, living in the present is the wisest choice.
