The World Cups in Korea and Japan are getting more exciting as time goes on. Portugal's 4-0 win in the second half which did have high expectations, gave a new hope for Portugal's golden generation to qualify. They just need to be in the final. A win over South Korea would secure a qualification spot...

The two hosts, South Korea and Japan, also performed well in the group stage. Of course, South Korea's despicable behavior has not yet begun. Here, let's make a moment of silence for Portugal!

In another group, Italy, one of the champions' favourites, lost 1-2 to Croatia, which was a bit disappointing.This defeat also overshadowed the prospect of the Apennine Lions qualifying for this World Cup.

On June 16, the world's eyes were on defending champions France.

Although Gallic Rooster had to beat Denmark by more than two goals in the final round of the group stage to qualify, the Frenchman remained quite optimistic before the game.

Because their leader, Zizou, has returned!

Zidane's return gives full confidence to the French team in the match against Denmark.

But the star-studded French team did not know before the game that they would usher in this World Cup final match in Busan.

Henry's suspension for a red card overshadowed French qualification, while Trezeguet hit the post shortly after the start, signaling the Frenchman's exit.

Zidane is back, but wherever he goes on the pitch, the Danish players follow him.

As one of the dark horses of this World Cup, the Danish team quickly disappointed the French fans with his goals.

If one goal was not enough, the French fans in the stands were utterly desperate as Thomassen turned the score into 2-0 for Denmark...

Zidane's frustrated expression and his helpless scene of a fall with the Danish players became the hallmark of this World Cup!

This is something that people didn't even think about before the World Cup started. France, who have two golden boots in Serie A and the Premier League, have not scored in three games and have collected just one point. The poor French appearance also proved that the Heat had to die 'this strange law.

Zidane was not the last Uranus superstar to leave this World Cup, but France's departure was destined to make the knockout stages of the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan lack the light it should have...

The other team in the group is Senegal, who chased three second-half goals while leading Uruguay 3-0 in the first half and almost missed the knockout stages. The African black horse managed to hack Zidane.

The day before Argentina and Sweden... The Germans also escaped They beat the African lions of Cameroon 2-0, and the German trains still drove steadily. It is worth mentioning that the Germans showed their intimidating temperament in this match, and they still beat the African lions of Cameroon 2-0 despite being sent off...

Joining Germany is Ireland, who became the fourth team to reach the last 16 after a 3-0 win over Saudi Arabia, who are already losing their fighting spirit.

...

On June 18, eyes around the world focused on Sendai F Group and Osaka, Death Group...

Argentina will face the Swedish Vikings in Sendai. They are now top of the group with four points. Sweden are also top of the group with four points, while England are third in the group with two points. It is unfortunate that neither of the two wars have come home early.

In the death group, it is possible that the last three teams will have five points with ...

Just when people doubted whether Argentina would play a tacit game with Sweden, at the pre-match press conference, he said, Leon Weir and Bielsa proved to the world that they are determined to win Sweden and then enter the round of 16!

“We will use our attack to destroy Sweden!” Argentina have no intention of playing a tacit game with Sweden, and winning first place in the group is Argentina's hope.

For the wayward Pampas eagle, Sweden head coach Tommy Soderbemi believes: "Argentina will pay their underrated enemy!"

The Sendai World Cup Stadium...

Different from his previous life, Argentine fans almost filled the entire stadium. Due to Leonville's rapidly increasing popularity and Argentina's high popularity in Japan, basically neutral fans were present today to cheer the Argentina team on. .

More than 10,000 Swedish fans were also in attendance, although they only occupy a quarter of the stadium, the Swedish men are also a force to be reckoned with!

Sweden is famous for its strength, while Argentina is famous for its skills. Clashes between the two teams with very different styles also make this game a lot of attention.

The other game in this group is in Osaka, England need all three points to have a chance of qualifying, they definitely want a split between Sweden and Argentina, he said, so they only needed a 1-0 win over Nigeria to qualify. .

The qualification battle, no matter who it was, could not be lost.

It is said that before the start of today's game, the crazy Bielsa also adjusted the starting lineup of the Argentine team.

The 3-3-1-3 formation was changed to a three-five-two on the advice of the players, and Leon Weir returned to his more usual midfield position, where he will partner with Simeone in midfield.

Left midfielder Aimar gets the chance to start, the attacking midfielder is the magician Veron, the right midfielder is the little donkey Ortega, and the double center is Crespo and Barty.

Zanetti and Sorin were two generals sitting on a bench.

Before starting the game, Leon also accidentally meets Caniggia, a former wind boy, "Claudio, rest assured. I'll make the game 'trash time' as soon as possible, so you have the last chance to play. in the World Cup!"

Before the game began, the entire Argentina team was united. They hope to seal the win as soon as possible so 35-year-old veteran Caniggia can get a chance to play. The last World Cup, with Argentina's current squad, is unlikely for Caniggia to get a chance to play after the team enters the knockout stages.

So, if Argentina can equalise against Sweden, then Caniggia will deliver his final farewell appearance in the national team.

Kanigia was also very touched by the support of his team-mates.Before the game, Son of the Wind personally tied the armband to Leon, and then gave each of his teammates a tos.

In his previous life, Caniggia was sent off in a match between Argentina and Sweden because Putra Wind, who was sitting on the bench, harassed the referee...

But in this life, none of this will happen again! Leon is determined to leave good memories for the veteran.

“Hey, captain bastard, today you have to do a good job with Simeone in defense and me! Let's attack quietly!” Although Veron's tone towards Leon is still very unpleasant to see Leon, in fact Everyone knows that Veron has already recognized captain Leon in his heart.

Veron waved his hand and whistled: "Let's see, hey!"

The mood of the whole Argentina team was not as nervous as it was against England, now they are relaxed because the second half against England showed that they are very strong!

The whole team is united! Oh, by the way, Pochettino is now in the squad to get everyone's boots! Of course, everyone had already forgiven what he said to Leon ...

Because now all the Argentine players have only one goal: to enter the round of 16! And then try playing seven games!

The Argentina squad today is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Boggs (returned to the starting lineup, replacing Caballero, whose performance was poor)

Defender: Placenta

Defender: Samuel

Defender: Almeida

Defending midfielder: Leon Weir (captain)

The midfielder: Diego Simeone

Left midfielder: Aimar

Right midfielder: Ortega

The midfielder: Juan Veron

Centre: Barty

Centre: Crespo

Argentina seems to have tasted the sweetness of the double center in the game against England.Today, facing a tall Sweden, Argentina's double center will still test the ability of Swedish air defense.

The Swedish team's line-up today is exactly the same as their last win over Nigeria.

Goalkeeper: Hedman

Left back: Melberg

Centre-back: Mirjabi

Centre-back: Lindeloth

Right back: Alex Anderson

The midfielder: Anders Swensen

The midfielder: Warbach

The midfielder: Andreas Jacobsen

The midfielder: Magnus Swensen

The author: Henrik Larsson

Mother: Lucic

By the way, the average height of the Swedish team's back line is more than 1.88 meters... The terrible height also made the Swedish fans say before the game: Let your double center try to score a header!

Of course, the Swedish fans who said this never witnessed the second half of the match between England and Argentina?England's air defence was weak? Campbell and Ferdinand were not very tall!

But why does Argentina still find a chance to score a header? The reason is very simple, the various Leonwell crosses vary, and they are too accurate!

In addition to today's double center, Agile breakthroughs Aimar and Ortega are also testing Sweden's tall team... In the last match between Sweden and Nigeria, Sweden spent a lot of energy... ...

That battle of power and technology also left many commentators sighing, Nigeria and Sweden, all of whom should enter the round of 16!

Whoa, the fucking group... To directly send Korea and Japan into the top 16, this group was too painful!

At the World Cup Stadium in Sendai, Argentina's performance was met with deafening cheers...

The favourites to win the title are the favourites to win, and as France are eliminated, people do not want Argentina to be eliminated in the final group game in a good situation ...

In this case, the knockout stages of this World Cup will lack many bright spots.

And many English fans also hope Argentina can beat Sweden. After all, it was too unrealistic and reliable to rely on Sweden to beat Argentina. Despite a lot of resentment between England and Argentina, in qualifying situations, if Argentina can beat Sweden's Argentina, then England only need to beat Nigeria to qualify.

And England need only one-to-zero...

The final two matches of Group F of the group's complicated deaths were in Sendai and Osaka...

Timely kick-off at 14:00!
