p>As Spain defeated Chile 2-1 in the last round of Group H, the two teams qualified together, and the group stages of the South African World Cup were all over. The teams qualifying in Asia were China, Japan and South Korea, with three seats in the top 16, and the teams qualifying in South America were Uruguay, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil, with five places in the top 16; the United States and Mexico, with two places in the top 16; the teams qualifying in Europe were Germany, England, Spain, the Netherlands, Slovakia, and Portugal, with six places in the top 16.

In this magical land of Africa, Asian teams are relatively lucky. Not only South Korea and China teams qualify in groups, but the Japanese team in Group E also easily defeated Denmark and broke through the siege. Three teams qualify for the first time, more than the World Cup held in Asia.

South American teams performed better, all five participating teams qualifying in groups, four Central and North American teams had two outs, 13 European teams participated in the competition, and 6 outs were considered average. However, the African team, as the host, suffered a catastrophe. None of the six participating teams made it out of the group stage, which could be said to have caused a shocking upset.

The Japanese and Korean teams have reached the top 16, and the South Korean team has even reached the top 4. Although the methods are shameful, they are the top 4 after all. They are not so excited about scoring 16 goals again. The domestic media in Japan and South Korea did not hype it up, but it was just a simple celebration. However, this is China's first time to reach the top 16. The domestic media is almost crazy. Not to mention sports newspapers, even entertainment newspapers put this major good news on the front page.

The Chinese officials also attach great importance to the outstanding performance of the Chinese team in the South Africa World Cup. People's Daily, Xinhua Daily, and Guangming Daily all reported the news that the Chinese team had to tie the Serbia group qualifying in a conspicuous position. The evening news league also rarely gave the Chinese team more than two minutes, and even gave Chen Yu a close-up shot. For a time, Chen Yu had become the "king of ball" side by side in China, Maradona.

At the end of the group stage, the situation of the quarterfinals will be released.

Chinese team VS the United States; South Korea VS Uruguay; Japan VS Paraguay; Brazil VS Chile; Argentina VS Mexico; Spain VS Portugal; Netherlands VS Slovakia; Germany VS England;

Compared with the Latin football confrontation between Spain and Portugal, Germany vs England's physical flow battle, China and the United States actually have nothing to praise at the football level. Although the United States often appears in the World Cup finals, has reached the quarterfinals, and has won the third place in ancient times, in the past 20 years, the US team has been second-rate in world football. As for the Chinese team, it was not in the top spot before Chen Yu returned, and now it is barely second-rate.

However, in terms of politics, economy and military, the United States and China are both superpowers in the world and their influence is unparalleled. Therefore, such a game that is insignificant in football has been hyped by the media and the Internet to become a contest between two major powers due to the huge influence of the World Cup.

The print media and the TV media are still a little restrained, just saying that this is a contest between China and the United States on another level, but on the Internet, this football match is regarded as a war between two major powers. Netizens from the two countries started a battle of fighting on the forum, and the atmosphere was no less than that of the game itself.

The influence of the World Cup is unparalleled. According to reporters, the US President and Chinese President who are participating in the G20 summit also talked about this game. US President ******* said that he would take time to pay attention. He believes that the US team will win the final victory. Chinese Chairman Gu said that the Chinese team's current results have made him very satisfied. He hopes that the Chinese team will continue to work hard and show the spirit of the Chinese.

This World Cup will not only have the Sino-US war, but also the British-German war. The England-German war, which is more eye-catching than the Sino-US war, is scheduled to start at 10 am Toronto time, and it is time for the meeting to be held. The new British Prime Minister Cameron and German Chancellor Merkel still plan to "slip out" out of the venue at that time to watch the British-German war live broadcast. Cameron said yesterday: "Someone suggested that I watch the British-German war live broadcast with Prime Minister Merkel." Prime Minister Merkel said that she would watch the game live broadcast and perhaps discuss with Cameron where to watch it together. Merkel also showed that her concern for the German football team is no less than her concern for economic issues. She clearly expressed that she hopes midfielder Schinsteiger can recover from injury and play in England.

In terms of strength, the US team is stronger than the Chinese team, but the Chinese team has been upset for a long time, which makes Asian sports have more expectations for them. Media outside South Korea believe that the team that has the most hope of advancing to the quarterfinals is the Japanese team. The Japanese team's opponent Paraguay is average, but the defense is better. If the Japanese team performs normally, they should have a 60% chance of winning. Although the South Korean team has stars such as Park Ji-sung and Lee Qinglong-deng who play in the European League, the South Korean team's opponent Uruguay is very strong. Without a referee to help the South Korean team want to defeat Uruguay, it is just a mirror and water moon.

Normally, it is very difficult for the Chinese team to defeat the US team, but the Chinese team's opponents in the group stage are stronger than the Chinese team. The Chinese team still achieved a record of one win, one draw and one loss, and qualified from the group. Therefore, no one dares to say that the Chinese team cannot make a bad match in this game with the US team.

The first knockout match of the World Cup was between the two World Cup winners of South American Powerhouse and the top four Asian overlords of the World Cup.

Although they were not favored by the outside world before the game, the Koreans have sufficient confidence in themselves. They believe that they have the strength to fight Uruguay, but the Uruguayans showed a strong ability to seize opportunities in the game and finally defeated the South Korean team 2:1 and entered the quarterfinals first.

The Korean team looked extremely regretful after the game. Head coach Xu Dingmao also said that Uruguay's luck is better than that of the South Korean team, and it seems that Uruguay cannot win without luck.

In fact, in terms of ball control time and number of shots, although the Koreans have a more advantage, the Uruguayans shoot more targets than the South Korean team. In the game, the referee missed a handball from the South Korean team and hacked Uruguay into a single shot, otherwise the South Korean team might lose even worse.

The second game of the World Cup quarterfinals was the match between the Chinese and American teams.

Although such a game is a genius pecking each other in terms of strength, given the status of China and the United States in the world, there are many people who come to support it.

FIFA President Blatter is here, UEFA President Platini is here, AFC President Haman and African Football Association President Hayatu are here.

Not only are the senior football officials, but also many sports celebrities and celebrities, including the football king Bailey, basketball superstar Kobe, Yao Ming, famous singer Jagger, and world star Keira Knightley. In addition, there are also politicians who have also come to the court to help. The arrival of former President Clinton and South African leader Mandela made the Real Bafoken Stadium very star-studded for a while and became the focus of the world football world.

In addition to these to help, there are Uruguayan stars and coaches who came to the bottom, because the winners of the US and Chinese teams will face Uruguay in the quarter-finals.

The game was held at 8:30 pm. The Real Bafoken Stadium, which can accommodate 38,000 people, has long been crowded. The Chinese and American team fans in the stands were wearing red jerseys, looking like fans of the same team, and the colorful neutral fans seemed to have become opposing fans.

The United States today shipped a 442 formation: 1-Howard/6-Cerandolo, 15-DeMelite, 3-Bocan Negra, 12-Boenstern/8-Dempsey, 13-Clarke, 4-Brandley, 10-Donovan/20-Findley, 17-Aldidore.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team is still a 451 formation that fans and opponents are familiar with: 1-Zeng Lei/2-Sun Yang, 3-Du Wei, 4-Wang Xiao, 5-Sun Hai/6-Zheng Hua, 7-****, 18-Shao Gang, 8-Gao Fei, 10-Chen Yu/9-Han Peng

There is no big player in the starting lineup of the US team. Howard, Dempsey and Donovan are familiar to fans around the world, but they are not the absolute main players in the five major European leagues.

Among the 11 starters of the Chinese team, Chen Yu is the world's number one today. Gao Fei plays as a substitute in Siena in Serie A, and Shao Gang is in Cottbus in the German second division. Compared with the US team, the Chinese team's lineup is similar.

Seeing that the Chinese team's lineup played three games in the group stage and remained unchanged in the knockout round, Chinese commentator He Wei said with some confusion, "Folodor is too real, it's not changing in the four starters. Is this confidence or rigid? Do you really think that you are a weak team, don't you study you? We are now in the top 16 in the world, and the opponent cannot not study us, but it may also be because this starting lineup is familiar with it, and it may be that it is not good to change it. With the strength and style of the Chinese team, it should be a defensive counterattack. It depends on whether the US team has the ability to break through the Chinese team's goal."

In fact, Forardo and the coaching staff of the Chinese team also considered the starting lineup. Although the changes can have unexpected results, the Chinese team players have poor tactical understanding and adaptability. If there is really a change, the opponent may not feel anything, but he will not play well, so the Chinese team still uses the original lineup.

However, the coaching staff also made huge analysis on how to play in this game. Forardo believes that it is a defensive counterattack, which means a greater winning rate. However, the Chinese coach believes that this game is not an ordinary game. It is not just a simple victory or defeat, but also related to national honor and national feelings. If the victory is achieved by defending, fans may not be happy. If the game is lost, the consequences will be even more serious. If the offensive risk is not that great, even if you lose, the fans will be in a better mood.

Forado has little power in tactical arrangements and personnel arrangements, and in the end Chen Yu stood on Forado's side. He believed that there was still a gap in strength between the Chinese team and the US team. The Chinese team cannot blindly consider off-court factors. The game is to target the winner and loser, and he ensures that the game will not lose.
