PS1: I continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~

PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.

After talking about the brothers in Italy and France, who won the European Cup championship and runner-up two years ago, but have lost both times, let's take a look at the performance of other traditional strong teams in the first match of the World Cup.

After the French team's upset defeat to Senegal, England also suffered a defeat in front of their nemesis, "Pirates" Sweden. Although Beckham, who was injured, used a corner kick to assist Campbell in scoring, Mills made an ultra-low-level mistake in the second half and sent the ball directly to the feet of Swedish midfielder Alexanderson, "assisting" the opponent to equalize the score, which made England, which had hoped to win a good start, had to continue their embarrassing history of not winning Sweden since 1968.

Although he failed to get a good start in the first group stage and made a good start for England's World Cup journey, Eriksen's luck was obviously much better than Le Maire. At least the Three Lions led by him ended with a draw with Sweden, rather than losing to an unknown army like France. Therefore, after the game, many English media even stood up to appreciate Eriksen's World Cup premiere, believing that being able to tie Sweden was already a very good result.

Perhaps the propaganda of the British media is suspected of evading Erikson's responsibility, but it has to be said that for more than 30 years, there has been no way to defeat the Swedish team, whose overall strength has declined significantly year by year after the fall of Brolin. The strength of this so-called "strongest England in history" seems to be about to hit a big question mark.

Of course, not all traditional strong teams have been unpopular in their first World Cup matches by their opponents. For example, Argentina, who is in the death group with England, the Pampas Eagles defeated Nigeria, known as the African Eagles with a header from the 33-year-old old war god Batistuta, and used a victory to prove their strength as the favorite to win the championship.

Well, although judging from the competition process, the Argentinian's victory seemed a bit too difficult.

In addition, Brazil in Group C and Spain in Group B also won the first World Cup. The Samba Legion led by the 3R group relied on a wonderful performance by Rivaldo to defeat the unexpectedly difficult Turkey, and ranked second in the group because of his disadvantage in goal difference; while Camacho led the Bullfighters Legion to easily solve the old opponent Slovenia who caused them a lot of trouble in the European Cup two years ago, and ranked first in Group B with three points.

If the victory of a traditional strong team is the most surprising, it is naturally the 8-0 victory between Germany and Saudi Arabia. Facing this desert fox from West Asia, the German tank, which was rated as "unbearable" by the media before the opening of the World Cup, showed amazing combat effectiveness and finally unexpectedly scored an 8-0 score, creating the largest score difference since the start of the Korean and Japanese World Cup!

Miroslav Klose, who was only 24 years old, became the focus of the post-match. The young forward who played for the Kaiserslautern Club performed a hat-trick in the game, and all three goals were headers! Klose's hat-trick in the header made many German fans seem to see a new generation of air dominance rising.

After all, with the "Golden Bomber" Klinsmann and "Golden Head" Bierhoff and others either retired or got old, and the rising star Yankel was embarrassed by the great task, the German forward really needed a forward like Klose who could score goals.

The 8-0 win against Saudi Arabia temporarily allowed Voral to hold the coaching position, slightly regaining his reputation for losing to his rival England in the World Cup qualifiers, and even further slowed down the pace of condemning Voral, which gave them more expectations for the German team's World Cup trip.

Let’s talk about the group where the two hosts are located. In the H Group, the host Japan team and Belgium tied 2-2 in 90 minutes, returning with one point. As for the Group D, where the other host South Korea team is located, it is the last one of all groups to end the first round. Like the previous groups, there was also a big upset in Group D: the Portuguese Golden Generation headed by Figo and Rui Costa, unexpectedly missed against the US team, which messed up their debut in the World Cup!

Portugal's defeat once again caused an uproar among fans and the media. With top stars such as Figo and Rui Costa in charge, coupled with their wonderful performances in the European Cup two years ago, Portugal has become one of the favorites to win the World Cup this year. However, what people did not expect was that, like Italy and France, Portugal also fell, and it also lost to the United States, a country that can be called a football desert!

Although the United States once achieved a good result in the semi-finals of 16 in the World Cup held eight years ago, fans who have some knowledge of football should know what position football lies in the United States and the huge gap in book strength between the two teams.

In this way, after all the first round of the World Cup group stage, fans were shocked to find that there were really many traditional strong teams that were exposed to be unpopular this time. From Italy, the double champion of the World Cup and European Cup, to France, to England, one of the favorites to win the championship, as well as Belgium, the "European Red Devils" and Portugal, the golden generation, these powerful teams either draw or lose in their first World Cup match, which really made experts and fans fall into glasses.

The game started with an unpopularity and ended with an unpopularity. This is what people made about this round of group stages at the end of the first round of the Korean and Japanese World Cup.

Of course, many experts believe that the reason why there are so many upsets after the opening of the World Cup is largely because this World Cup starts too early and most players have not recovered from the fatigue of fighting for a season. For example, Zidane, the midfielder, played a Champions League final with Real Madrid half a month before the opening of the World Cup, and ended up exhausting himself, causing France to lose the most important core and leader of the team before the start of the game.

Although the analysis of these experts does sound very reasonable, it is actually useless. Now that the World Cup has almost a week passed, can you still let the organizers temporarily suspend the game and wait for the stars to recover their strength before starting the game again? Such things are obviously impossible.
