After the match between China and Chile, no one knew what happened in the locker room, but the outside media were disappointed with the result and were also pessimistic about the prospects of China in this World Cup...

After the game, major media in China expressed regret that the Chinese team was unable to win the game, and then criticized the team's performance after the opening, and of course praised their performance after falling behind by two goals.

As for how to qualify in the group, the media and fans were also enthusiastic about analyzing and making suggestions.

But in their opinion, no matter which method it is, it is very difficult to defeat the Netherlands or Spain.

Spain lost to the Netherlands in a strong dialogue, but everyone was not surprised. Everyone lost so much...

The defending champion has lost one game, so in order to ensure the group qualifying, they will definitely win the remaining two games.

Chinese media and fans dare not think that the defending champion would be eliminated after the group stage. Although Italy, as the defending champion, did not qualify from the group stage in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, has different situations between Italy and Spain, and how could it be that the defending champions would be eliminated in the group for two consecutive World Cups?

So no matter how you look at it, it is very, very difficult for the Chinese team to qualify in the group...

But within the Chinese team, there is indeed a different scene.

The players were full of fighting spirit and confidence to prepare for the match against the Netherlands.

Head coach Lippi also proposed the goal of striving to qualify in the group.

First of all, they have to face the powerful enemy of the Netherlands.

The goal proposed by Lippi is surprisingly consistent with Zhou Yi - it is better if you can win, but if you can't win, you must strive for a draw.

With two points in hand, he fought for Spain in the last game, got three points and qualified for the group qualifying with five points.

The next day, four more games were played in the World Cup group stage. In the group stage, the schedule is three or four games a day.

The first four games on this day started with Colombia against Greece, a game in Group C. In the end, he defeated Greece 3-0 with Almero, Gutierrez and Rodriguez.

The second game was a game in Group D, with Uruguay vs. Costa Rica, which is a civil war in Latin America. Before the game, everyone is more optimistic about Uruguay, after all, Uruguay has experts like Cavani and Suarez, and in the World Cup, Uruguay is one of the semi-finals.

Unexpectedly, in this game, Uruguay lost 1:3 to the unknown Costa Rica. The first unpopularity in this World Cup was revealed.

Next are England and Italy. This is the game that everyone is most concerned about on this match day. Italy was the defending champion in the last World Cup, but was eliminated at the bottom of the group, becoming a laughing stock for many people. In this World Cup, they made a comeback and wanted to prove themselves again in the World Cup.

In the first group match, England encountered the "favorite in the championship". The two strong men fought against each other, who would win?

In the end, Italy defeated England 2-1, and the controversial talented player Balotelli scored the winning goal in the game and was selected as the best in the game.

England's "road to the championship" was hit hard at the beginning.

Without the World Cup, the English media will publicize and hype that England is the "strongest England team in history" and the "favorite to win the championship". But every World Cup, England's performance is not satisfactory. Of course, the English media will not think they have been slapped in the face. They will quickly find the scapegoat to take the blame after the team fails.

The last game on June 14th returned to Group C, and another Asian team appeared. Japan vs. Côte d'Ivoire. Japan is also a very ambitious team. Since they entered the World Cup knockout stage in 2002, the country has become full of confidence. The goal of each World Cup is to reach the knockout stage. Of course, since 1998, the teams that have never missed any World Cup finals, it is indeed time for them to go further. They cannot always be satisfied with the hardships of reaching the World Cup finals and then return home after playing three group matches.

In the last World Cup in South Africa, Japan won two wins and one loss in the group stage, got the right to qualify for six points, and entered the knockout round again. However, they stopped moving forward in the quarterfinals and lost to Paraguay in the penalty shootout.

This World Cup, the Japanese team gathered many outstanding players at home and abroad, and the goal is to qualify in the group, but it is not just to qualify in the group. They hope to go further.

Although the Japanese team scored the first record for the team in the 16 minutes of the game and took the lead, they still couldn't escape the fate of losing - Côte d'Ivoire scored two goals in 64 and 66 minutes to reverse the score. In the end, the result remained until the end of the game.

Côte d'Ivoire defeated Japan 2:1, and the Japanese team's group qualifying target was hit from the beginning.

The next game of the Chinese team is the 20th game of this World Cup, and it will take until the 18th to kick off. In between, they are training while paying attention to the performance of other teams in the World Cup.

In two games in Group E, Switzerland defeated Ecuador 2:1 and France defeated Honduras 3:0.

Argentina, a real favorite to win the championship in Group F, made his debut. Argentina, with many world-class stars, finally defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina, who participated in the World Cup for the first time, 2-1. However, this game does not seem to be very convincing, because in the game, the Argentine player only scored one goal, and the other two goals were scored by Bosnia and Herzegovina, who participated in the World Cup for the first time... Messi scored the only goal of the Argentine team, and defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina, who participated in the World Cup for the first time, which makes people doubt whether Argentina can really win the championship in this World Cup.

The World Cup held in South America is a good opportunity for Argentina to win the championship because they are more familiar with the environment here than European teams. If Messi wants to win the undisputed title, he must win the World Cup championship.

Messi himself is probably very clear, so he scored a goal in this game.

In another game in the same group, the third Asian team appeared, and Iran and Nigeria tied 0:0.

The German team in Group G showed their terrifying strength and state in the match against Portugal, and they beat Portugal 4:0. This result was really beyond the expectations of many people. Before, everyone thought that even if Portugal wanted to lose, they would not lose so much...

Although Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the two strongest players in the football world, was able to defeat all sides in the club, in the national team, he could not support the entire Portugal team alone, and he could not play it alone. No matter how much power he had, he could not play it out.

In another game, the United States defeated Garner 2:1.

The first game in Group H was Belgium against Algeria. In the end, the Belgian team, which was full of talented players, defeated Algeria 2:1.

In another game in the same group, the last Asian team appeared.

South Korea faces Russia.

In the eyes of the South Korean team, Russia should be the team they must win in this group. Like the Japanese team, they have the goal of qualifying in the group.

The best result of the South Korean team in the World Cup was also created in the 2002 Japan and South Korea World Cup, and they reached the semi-finals. However, fans of other countries who were unexpected in South Korea may not be very convinced by this result of the South Korean team.

In the last World Cup in South Africa, both South Korea and Japan entered the knockout round, but their fates were the same as those of the Japanese team. They were eliminated in the quarterfinals. They also qualified as the second in the group and met Uruguay, losing 1:2, and ended in the quarterfinals.

This year, like the Japanese team, they not only have to qualify in the group, but also hope to go as far as possible.

Facing Russia, the South Korean team believes that they deserve to win, which is the only way to qualify in the group.

But the final result was disappointing, they tied with Russia 1:1...

At this point, all four Asian teams have been shown, the Chinese team, Iran and South Korea have all tied, scored one point, and the Japanese team lost.

Judging from the first round of group stages, the performance of Asian teams is not satisfactory because their opponents are not the strongest in the group stage, but even so, they failed to win even a single game.

If you want to rank among these four Asian teams, the Chinese team will perform the best because they scored many goals...

However, this kind of contrast between the roosters pecked at each other is meaningless.

Some experts analyzed that judging from the performance of each team in this first round of group stage, if the Asian teams may be wiped out in this World Cup. If that is the case, it will not be a good thing for Asian football.

Because the quota for the World Cup is directly linked to the performance of teams from various continents in the World Cup.

If Asian teams always perform poorly, their qualifying quotas will be reduced, and there are many Asian teams, which is obviously a great loss to the overall interests of Asian football.
