The England team has been talking about the topic since they came to South Africa, and news of internal strife broke out a few days ago, which made the English media very depressed.

Spain's unexpected defeat caused the English media to find a vent, and they attacked Spain fiercely

Daily Mirror said: Spain has ushered in a wonderful start. They are invincible and have to find something for themselves. Without pressure, they will increase the pressure on themselves.

The Times said: God, do you believe that Spain actually lost. They were not losing to Brazil, nor Germany, but Switzerland.

Do they think it's too easy to qualify in the group, so it's a little more difficult for themselves

The media of the two countries do not like each other and think that their league is the world's number one league. They will seize every opportunity to ridicule each other.

Argentine media also took the opportunity to ridicule the Spanish team. The reason why the Spanish national team lost in the first World Cup was because Xavi and Iniesta did not have Messi. Messi is Barcelona's number one star, and Spain's failure is just like Barcelona lacks Messi.

After the first round, except for Spain, the performance of other strong teams is still acceptable. The strength shown by the German team is intimidating, and they almost crushed their opponents.

Everything has both positive and negative aspects. After the leaked news, the England team chose to unite under the strong media opinion.

This is also an unexpected surprise.

Under Capello's organization, they actively prepare for the second round of the group. If they win Algeria, they can qualify early and complete the goal of the first stage.

At 8:30 p.m. on the 16th, the second round of the match began. The host South Africa welcomed Uruguay at the Pretoria Lovtos Stadium. For both sides, this was a game that must be won. Whoever loses the game may be kicked out in advance.

After the game started, both sides were very proactive. In the 24th minute of the first half, Uruguay launched an attack, Perez made a diagonal pass from the right, Fran turned around and shot with his right foot thirty meters in front of the goal, and the football hit Mocona's back and turned into a hanging shot.

South African goalkeeper Gune had no choice but to do so. The football flew over his head and entered the goal against the crossbar.

One to zero

In the 21st minute of the second half, South Africa was hit again. Suarez's low shot from the left was blocked by Cune. Perez took the ball from the right side of the penalty area and was cleared by the defender's tackle. Fran volleyed 20 meters in front of the goal. Cavani stretched out his left foot and did not stop the ball. Suarez was tackled by South African goalkeeper Cune when he took the ball from the left.

The referee Busaka called a penalty kick and sent Kune directly

Two to zero

The host South Africa was determined to launch a counterattack, but due to the gap in strength and too impatient mentality, they could not threaten Uruguay's goal. The game entered stoppage time, and when everyone thought the game would end 2-0, Uruguay was once again surprised.

In the fifth minute of stoppage time, Fran made a precise pass from the left forty meters, Suarez unloaded the ball from the right side of the penalty area, and then volleyed the ball to the back post. Alvaro Pereira pushed out the earth and bounced into the empty goal four meters in front of the goal.

Three to zero

Uruguay defeated the host South Africa team completely, laying a solid foundation for qualifying in the group.

Another game in Group A was scheduled at half past pm on the 17th, with the last runner-up France against Mexico. After the game started, Mexico played more proactively than the French team with problems in the locker room.

Neither side could break through the opponent's goal in the first half. After the start of the second half, both sides strengthened their offensive, and a draw was unacceptable to both sides.

In the 19th minute of the second half, Mexico launched an attack, and there was a problem with the French back line. Max made a straight pass, and the dragged Abidal failed to make an offside. Manchester United's new player Hernandez dribbled over Loris alone and shot into the empty goal.

One to zero

The score was behind, France strengthened its attack, but they were not in their best condition and returned in vain again and again, while Mexico seized the opportunity to fight back.

In the 24th minute of the second half, Mexico hit France hard, Barrela broke into the penalty area, and Abidal tripped him in a hurry. The referee called the penalty without hesitation.

Two to zero

French fans don't believe in their eyes at all, what's wrong with their team

Is the locker room conflict mentioned by the media true?

Since Spain lost to Switzerland, the second unpopularity in this World Cup has appeared. Mexico defeated the last runner-up by 2-0 with two goals in the second half. It is in sight to qualify, while France has a slim chance of qualifying.

At 4:00 pm on the 17th, the second round of Group B started, Nigeria vs. Greece.

The first thing to break the deadlock was Nigeria. In the 16th minute of the first half, Uche took a free kick from the left 36 meters away from the goal and passed it diagonally in front of the goal. Although Odenm Wenji did not touch the ball for the top, it interfered with the goalkeeper Tsovas. Tsovas rushed to the right, but the ball bounced from the far corner on his left.

One to zero

However, Nigeria paid the price for its impulse. In the 33rd minute, Torosidis and Caita fought on the sideline. Torosidis hugged the ball after the ball was out of bounds and threw the ball towards the opponent. The football did not actually touch Caita. The angry Caita kicked the opponent with the sole of the shoe. The referee Luis was not ruthless and sent him off the red card directly.

Greece took advantage of its numbers to launch a fierce attack on Nigeria, and they equalized the score as the first half was about to end.

In the 44th minute of the first half, Kachulanis made a comeback from the right side of the penalty area, Salpinggidis shot with his right foot from the penalty area line, and the football hit Haruna's heel suddenly changed the line, flew up from the turf and hung into the upper left corner

One to one

After the second half began, Nigeria wisely adopted the tactic of steady defense and counterattack.

In the 14th minute of the second half, Nigeria quickly counterattacked to form a two-for-one attack. Obasi was assigned to the left, and Yakub pushed and shot from fourteen meters in front of the goal.

Greek goalkeeper Tsovas bravely blocked the football, Nigerian striker Obasi followed up with a supplementary shot from the right

Nigeria missed a great opportunity to lead again and they were punished.

In the 26th minute of the second half, Greece won a corner kick, and Karagunis took a corner kick from the right and was pushed out. Jolis took the ball and shook the defender and shot hard 25 meters in front of the goal.

Nigerian goalkeeper Nyeyama struggled to save, the football rebounded back to the penalty area, Torosidis shot into the net with his right foot five meters in front of the goal

Two to one

It was almost the same opportunity. Nigeria failed to grasp it, but Greece seized it and reversed the score.

Greece, the European Cup champion in 2004, lost one goal first, scored two goals in a row and reversed the victory with a score of 2-1.

At 13:00 on the afternoon of the 17th, Argentina faced the challenge of the South Korean team. Both teams won the first round of the game. This game, in a sense, is a battle for the top spot in the group. To be continued.
