The opening ceremony of the World Cup was at 6:30 pm, Beijing time. It was not yet 6:00 when Ma Xiaolong took Little Didi home. At this time, except for the two maids, Dai Yu was the only one in the house, which was more or less deserted.
Moreover, Dai Yu is not a fan and will not accompany him to watch the World Cup.
But it doesn't matter, my uncle, cousin, and cousin-in-law are all football fans. Little Didi is an out-and-out Beijing football fan who has been raised by me since childhood. With her here, the atmosphere of watching football at home will not be the same.
The maid had already prepared the side dishes to go with the wine and placed them on the coffee table. The beer and drinks were chilled in ice buckets and placed next to the coffee table. The large-screen LCD TV was turned on, and the World Cup opening ceremony began.
Dai Yu was not a football fan after all, so he ate something with the two of them, watched the opening ceremony for a while, and then went back to the second floor to read.
Little Didi was quite happy.
Now, my uncle is mine alone.
At 7:30 pm Beijing time, the first match of the World Cup started, with the last World Cup champion France playing against Senegal.
I am afraid that more than 90% of the fans around the world did not expect that this game would be a huge upset. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the little-known Senegal defeated France 1:0, shocking the world.
Ma Xiaolong was thoughtful, even though the world line has changed, some things are still rolling forward along the track of 'history'.
"France actually lost!?" Little Didi couldn't believe it.
"This is the World Cup." Ma Xiaolong said with emotion: "Even if France is the champion of the last World Cup, if they don't try their best, they might not be able to get out of the group."
"Impossible." Little Didi is also considered a 'veteran' young football fan and is relatively familiar with the situation in world football. France has been so powerful in the past four years. It first won the World Cup and then the European Cup.
There are few opponents on the field. Even if this cup starts badly, she doesn't think France can even get out of the group.
Ma Xiaolong chuckled: "We'll see!"
There are too many upsets in this World Cup, especially in the stick game, which started with a shameless shady performance in the third game of the group stage. A team that originally had a hard time qualifying from the group was forced to be sent out due to shady behavior.
Entering the semi-finals caused an uproar around the world. If the commotion hadn't been too big and made FIFA afraid, and there were no more shady events in the semi-finals, Bang Bang would have made it all the way to the finals and finally won the World Cup.
In his previous life, Ma Xiaolong also started to realize from this World Cup that a stick is like a toad that crawls on your feet. It won't bite you, it just disgusts you.
I hope the Chinese team can break out of the group, replace the local chickens, and give Bangzi a lesson in the third or fourth place finals!
With the opening of the World Cup, the world has officially entered World Cup time.
In life, more than 80% of people on the Internet are talking about football. Even those who are not fans must talk a few words, otherwise they will appear very unsociable.
Moreover, the World Cup comes to an Asian country for the first time, and the game time has also entered the time zone of Asian fans. This makes European and American fans very uncomfortable, but this is the World Cup. When European and American countries host the World Cup, Asian fans are equally miserable.
, it's their turn too.
On June 1st, the second day of the World Cup, three games were played.
Denmark in Group A defeated Uruguay 2:1 and temporarily ranked first in the group; Cameroon in Group E drew with Ireland 1:1, and another game in the same group staged a massacre.
Hans slaughtered Saudi Arabia 8:0, leaving people stunned.
But it’s not surprising. During this period, Saudi Arabia was particularly afraid of tall teams with tough styles. For example, in Asia, the Huaxia team was a team with a style similar to Hans. The players were generally tall and played very tough games.
, in the past five years, Saudi Arabia has met China five times. China has 4 wins and 1 draw, remaining unbeaten. In addition, China scored 4 goals in two of them, 4:1 and 4:0 respectively, defeating Saudi Arabia.
Here comes the shadow.
And this time when Saudi Arabia met the genuine Hansi team in the World Cup group stage, Saudi Arabia was even more ruined. With a score of 0:8, it was nailed to the pillar of shame of this World Cup.
At the same time, it is also a good start for Asian teams.
The group matches are going on every day, and fans from various countries are cheering or sad for their national teams. Under such circumstances, the time has arrived on June 4.
On this day, the three countries of China and Japan came on stage one after another. This day is also called World Cup Asia Day.
At 2:30 pm Beijing time, a very stupid time for Chinese fans, the Chinese team's first World Cup group match began, and the opponent was Costa Rica.
If nothing unexpected happened, the Chinese team would lose 0:2, but the 'accident' happened as expected.
After four years of development, the Chinese men's football team has more than ten players playing in the five major European leagues. It is stronger than four years ago. Coupled with the experience of the last World Cup, the first group game of this competition
It can be said that I played like a fish in the water and played with ease.
After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, China turned around and beat Costa Rica 2:0, successfully getting off to a good start.
At the game, my grandpa and grandma were sitting in the front row, happily taking a bunch of videos and photos, and immediately sent them to Ma Xiaolong's mobile phone to share their joy.
Although the game time was ridiculous, the Huaxia team won, which still made the Huaxia fans extremely happy. The sales of Huaxia beer and beverages that day were 50% higher than usual, which can be regarded as a contribution to the domestic GDP.
At the same time, commercial advertisements from all over the world to capitalize on the popularity of the World Cup were loud. During this period, if there were no World Cup advertisements, no one would watch them. It was overbearing and unreasonable.
During this period, students including Peking University were not interested in studying. During class, they were thinking about the World Cup. This made the teachers very helpless, but it was understandable because many teachers were also fans and they also wanted to know what was going on during the game.
process and results.
Fortunately, there are replays and highlights of the game on the Internet. In particular, Bruce Ma's website cooperated with CCTV and bought the rights to produce online replays and highlights of the game, allowing fans who have not seen the live broadcast to watch the game on the Internet after work and study.
See game replays and highlights.
Of course, in addition to the Huaxia team's games, the vast majority of Huaxia fans only watch the highlights of other teams' games.
There are several games a day, and I really don’t have much time to watch two hours of replays.
The seven or eight-minute highlights are quite good, which can be seen from the number of plays in the background.
Ma Xiaolong feels that he is very lucky, because this year's World Cup is held between the end of May and the end of June. During this period, college entrance examination students are in the final sprint stage and have no intention of paying attention to the game.
He took the college entrance examination last year and just finished the exam, so he could watch the game more relaxedly this year. But the students who were one year younger than him were in misery. While others were talking about the World Cup, they were studying; others were thinking about it.
When the Chinese team is elated about winning, they are learning; when others are reveling in the World Cup, they are learning.

On June 8th, in the second game of the group stage, China met the powerful 3R Brazilian team. In this game, the Chinese team showed a jaw-dropping combat effectiveness. It actually fought against the Brazilian team and won in the regular 90 minutes.
During the time, they tied with the Brazilian team 3:3.
But just when all the Chinese fans were extremely excited, thinking that the game would end in a draw, Brazil's number one star Ronaldo scored the winning goal in stoppage time, defeating the Chinese team 4:3, and all the Chinese fans were silent for ten seconds.
, and the Brazilian fans were completely in a state of carnival.
Because in another game, Turkey and Costa Rica tied 1:1, and Brazil qualified for the group stage one round ahead of schedule.
However, the Chinese team has to fight a life-or-death battle with the local chickens in the final round. Fortunately, with the current group situation, as long as China draws with the local chickens, there is a high probability of qualifying from the group. However, back then, the Chinese men's football team was stuck in a tie and would qualify.
Although this situation has not happened for more than ten years, this is the World Cup and no one knows what will happen in the final round.
Fortunately, the head coach of the Chinese team, Milu Milu, is a super master of psychology. After being defeated by Brazil in stoppage time, Milu has been doing psychological construction and decompression for the players, which has restored the state of the Chinese players a lot.
But Milu was still worried, especially the day before the game. The training status of the Chinese fans was visibly poor. Although Milu remained calm on the surface and was still laughing happily with the players, secretly he looked solemn, knowing that
The game against the local chickens was not easy, and at the same time I felt helpless at the poor mental endurance of the Chinese players.
There is no other way. This wave of players is basically a group of people born in the 1960s and 1970s. There are only two young players born in the 1980s. They grew up in that era and their psychological quality is really not good.
Just when Milu was at a loss what to do, a video from China traveled across the ocean and reached the country through the Internet. The name of this video was "No matter whether we win or lose, we are always behind you."
The video begins with a black screen with white text: What is Chinese football?
yes……
Pictures appeared. Back then, as long as there was a draw, they would qualify, but they lost to Hong Kong. The national team players fell to the ground in pain, and the fans in the stands cried bitterly.
yes……
Two consecutive black three minutes, painful scenes for players and fans appeared again.
yes……
China lost to Yemen, capsized in the gutter, and the painful scene appeared again.
With the depressing and sad BGM, everyone who saw the video gritted their teeth and had tears in their eyes.
Dong Dong——(drum sounds)
"China Team——" the fans shouted: "Come on!"
Chinese football is...
Accompanied by the BGM that seemed to break through the darkness before dawn, the scene appeared again. This time it was a collection of goals from the top ten games in 1997. The Chinese players passed the game on the court and were invincible. Under the leadership of Milu, they entered the World Cup for the first time.
of the finals.
This time the players showed passion and roar, while the Chinese fans cheered loudly and cried with joy as their dream came true.
Chinese football is...
The scene came to the top ten in 2001. The Chinese team once again crushed its opponents in the same group and advanced to the World Cup finals. The fans wore uniforms of the Chinese Dragons and waved huge, bright red national flags in the stands.
In the square, the bars cheered wildly.
The screen showed individual fans, pairs of fans, facing the screen, smiling or playing the sheng, and everyone left the same sentence: "China Team, come on!"
The screen went black, and text appeared: "No matter we win or lose, we will always be behind you."
"China team...come on!"
…
On June 13, in the third group match of the Chinese team, one hour before the game, Milu played this video for all the Chinese men’s football players to watch in the lounge of the Chinese men’s football team.
When the scene ended, all the players burst into tears with excitement and their fighting spirit soared into the sky, sweeping away the haze of the past few days.
Milu smiled and said his last words before the game: "Boys, for the Chinese fans who support you... dig Mo!!!"
“Dig Mo!!!!!!!!”
…
Before the game started, almost all the football commentators had sad faces, because they could learn the most timely status of the Chinese men's football team at the front, so they knew very well that the morale of the Chinese team players was low in the past few days, and many players
Carrying the burden of wanting to win and being afraid of losing, my training status was surprisingly poor.
Under this situation, even if the Chinese fans are very optimistic and think that the game against the local chickens will not be a big problem, they, the commentators, do not think that is the case.
Therefore, when analyzing the game before the start of the game, they have been trying to instill in the audience in front of the TV that the local chickens are very powerful. They only lost to Brazil by one goal in the first group match. They are evenly matched with the Chinese men's football team. Who will win?
It's normal for anyone to lose. I just hope that if the Chinese men's football team really loses, the fans can bear this unacceptable result.
But their "unfounded worries" made the fans in front of the TV very unhappy. The fans felt that although we lost to Brazil, we were not inferior on the field. We also had a big offensive match with the Brazilian team, but we only lost in stoppage time.
That's all, in terms of strength, it is definitely better than the local chickens, qualifying from the group is not a problem at all.
Only a handful of true fans who are cautious at heart know that what the commentator said is true. Although the Chinese men's football team is stronger than four years ago, it is really not at the level of a world-class team. Although they played against Brazil in the last game
The offensive battle was back-and-forth, but real fans who have watched the game know that the Huaxia team definitely played at a super level in that game. In addition, they were defeated in stoppage time, and the impact on the team's morale is immeasurable.
.
At this time, when the commentator was decompressing the national team before the game, they couldn't help but feel that something was wrong, as if this game was really difficult.
With an anxious mood, the game began.
"nice shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Just when the real fans were worried, only 11 seconds into the game, China's super forward Haodong blitzed through the door of the Tuji, 1:0, a dream start!
With the cheers from all the Chinese fans in the audience, the real fans’ anxious hearts instantly calmed down, and they hugged and cheered excitedly with their friends around them.
It’s hard to fight! It’s easy to fight!
After the 90-minute game, the Chinese men's football team defeated the Turkish Chickens 3:0 and advanced to the top 16 knockout rounds of the World Cup!
The land of China fell into a carnival.
Panda will get perfect attendance this month and finish the book next month.
