    In the remaining two groups in the last round of the group stage, Portugal played against Brazil, which was originally a strong dialogue. The two sides ended with a 0:0 with a very tacit understanding and entered the top 16 together. North Korea lost 0:3.  Ivory Coast led by Qintian teammate Didier Drogba.  In the last group, Chile drew 1:2 with Spain, Switzerland and Honduras drew 0:0. At this point, all the group stage games have ended, and the top 16 list has been formed.

    They are Uruguay, South Korea, the United States, Ghana, Germany, England, Argentina, Mexico, Denmark, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Paraguay, Brazil, Spain, Portugal, and Chile.  A total of 15 draws occurred in the group stage of the World Cup in South Africa, which is unprecedented in the history of the World Cup.

    During the rest days of the Danish team, the World Cup games continued to start, with the top 16 fighting against each other. First of all, the first game on the 26th was Uruguay against South Korea. In this game, Uruguay relied on Suarez's brace, 2:  1 defeated the Asian powerhouse South Korea.

    In the 8th minute of the game, Forlan made a low pass from the left. Zheng Chenglong made a mistake in his position, and the Korean defense also lacked protection. Suarez shot the ball into the empty goal from the back point, leading 1:0.  In the following game, the South Korean team still did not have a good offensive method. Instead, Uruguay continued to use wing breakthroughs to create threats, but neither side was able to score.  After the start of the second half, in the 64th minute, the Korean team dropped a free kick into the penalty area. Victorino's header was not far away. Li Qingyong scored a header before Lugano, and the Korean team equalized the score.  Just as the Koreans were celebrating, in the 80th minute, Forlan took another corner kick from the right. After Suarez took the ball, he dribbled horizontally and shot. The ball hit the right post and bounced into the net. South Korea led 2:1.  The team ended up in the top 16.

    There are two games on the 27th, one is the United States team against Ghana, the only remaining team in Africa, and the other is the focus of the top 16 match between Germany and England.  In the first game, Ghana did not disappoint, defeating the United States 2:1 and advancing to the top 8.  The United States and Ghana met on a narrow road at the Royal Bamfokeng Stadium in Rustenburg. As a result, the Ghana team defeated the United States 2-1 with Gian's goal in overtime and entered the top 8. Ghana also tied Cameroon and Senegal and became the third.  The three African teams that have made it to the top 8 will face Uruguay in the quarter-finals.  Ghana took a 1-0 lead in the first half thanks to Boateng's shot. The U.S. team relied on Donovan's penalty kick to equalize the score. Ghana center Gian single-handedly scored the U.S. team's goal, and this became the  The most important victory of this World Cup so far.  Ghana center back Jonathan Mensah and winger Ayew received yellow cards and will miss the quarter-finals with Uruguay.

    The third game was against Germany and England. The grudges between these two teams in the World Cup can be traced back a long way.

    In world football, there are some teams that can be called mortal enemies, such as Argentina and Brazil. However, the most famous ones are England and Argentina, and England and Germany. The grievances between England and Germany are not only due to the political sequelae of the "World War II" period.  , not only because the two teams have an 80-year history of competing, but also because the two teams have left too many eternal controversies, unresolved grievances, and classics that cannot be forgotten.

    The feud between England and Germany became intense starting from the 1966 World Cup.  At that time, the world had not yet recovered from the trauma of World War II, and the grievances of the Germans who bombed Britain into rubble were also brought into football.  It just so happened that the two teams met in the World Cup final.

    Within 90 minutes, the two teams drew 2-2 and entered overtime.  In overtime, Hurst fired a furious shot. The ball hit the lintel and bounced back. It was impossible to judge whether it had crossed the line.  The referee ruled that the goal was valid, but the Germans refused to accept it.  In the end, England defeated Germany 4-2 and won the only World Cup championship in the team's history.

    Did that goal go in?  According to the game videos at that time and using current scientific and technological analysis, it is difficult for people to judge whether the ball is a goal or not.  At that time, scientists from the United Kingdom and Germany analyzed this and came to different conclusions. The Germans believed that the ball did not go in, and the English believed that the ball did.  The two sides are at loggerheads, and football has become a battle between the academic and media circles of the two countries.  Wembley Stadium even has a voting system. Every fan who comes here has the right to vote. Did the ball go in?

    Moreover, even when Beckenbauer later came to London, London taxi drivers would ask the German football emperor in a serious manner, "Do you think that goal was scored?" In fact, for the English, no matter whether the goal was scored,  They were all very happy if they didn't get in. If they did, they could say they defeated Germany with their own strength. If they didn't get in, they would be even more happy. Considering the historical hostility between Britain and Germany, this kind of "unjust case" makes the Germans  Being frustrated makes the English feel more happy.

    That is to say, starting from the 1966 World Cup final, England and Germany became increasingly mortal enemies on the football field.  However, these mortal enemies always meet in competitions.  In the 1970 World Cup semi-finals, the two teams met. England was leading 2-0, but was chased by Germany for two consecutive goals.Entered overtime and defeated England 3-2 in overtime to advance.

    In the 1972 European Cup, Germany eliminated England 3-1 in the finals of 14.  In the second group stage, England, which threatened revenge, only drew 0-0 with Germany.  In the 1990 World Cup, England and Germany met in the semi-finals. The two sides continued to score penalty kicks, and Germany eventually won.  In the 1996 European Cup, Germany once again eliminated England in the semi-finals with penalty kicks.

    Until the 2000 European Cup, England defeated Germany 0 in the group stage. This was 34 years after the Three Lions finally defeated Germany in a world-class competition.  A dispute fell in 1966, and England paid back a full 34 years.  But hatred is always like this. When one party takes revenge, it will leave a deeper hatred for the other party, so the grievances are repaid, and the grievances become deeper and deeper.

    Since the new century, the two teams have continued to have grievances.  In 2000, the last official game at the old Wembley Stadium, Inge met the German team in the World Cup qualifiers, trying to commemorate the greatest stadium in the world with a victory.  But the 0:1 defeat directly forced Kevin Keegan to dismiss get out of class.  In the second round, they beat Germany 5:1, making the Munich people miserable.

    After the group draw of this World Cup, although according to the half zone, whether it is England or Germany, if the two teams want to go all the way to the final, people think that they will meet in the quarter-finals at the earliest. At that time, England fans began to look forward to the fourth round.  The "English-German War" showdown in the quarter-finals.

    It¡¯s just that no one expected that the German team would lose in the second game of the group stage against Serbia, and England also had a near-miss victory in all three games and finished second in the group. The German team only finished second in the group, with two games.  The two teams actually met in the first round of the knockout round.

    Olsen organized all members of the Danish team to watch this game together.  The game started at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein. Compared with the 1-0 victory over Ghana in the previous round, Loew only replaced Kakau with Klose who had expired, and no other positions were adjusted.  Capello completely retained the lineup that defeated Slovenia, with Rooney and Defoe as double forwards.

    After the game started, the two sides did not play conservatively, but because they had not yet entered the state, they made many mistakes in passing and receiving.  In the 5th minute, Bastian Schweinsteiger went straight into the penalty area. Ozil's shot was not strong enough due to the interference of Ashley Cole. James kicked the ball out of the baseline with his foot.  In the 8th minute, Ozil made a pass from the right, and Lampard made a big save.  In the 11th minute, the German team counterattacked quickly. Podolski's shot in front of the penalty area was blocked by the defensive player.  In the 12th minute, Milner made a pass from the right and Mertesacker made a header to clear the ball.  In the 15th minute, Ram made a pass from the right and James struck out to get the ball.

The German team took the lead 1-0. This was Klose's 12th  World Cup goal.  In the 22nd minute, Ozil made a pass from the left.

Upson beat Boateng to head the ball into the German goal, and England got a goal back.  In the 38th minute, Lampard's hanging goal from outside the penalty area hit the crossbar and bounced past the German team's goal line, but the referee Larionda ignored it. From the slow motion view, this was an obvious misjudgment.  In the 44th minute, Ashley Cole made a pass from the left and Mertesacker made a big save.  Germany led England 2-1 in the first half.

    Neither side made any lineup adjustments after the halftime break.  In the 47th minute, Friedrich kicked Defoe down from behind and received the first yellow card of the game.  In the 48th minute, Milner hit the goal over the crossbar in front of the penalty area.  One minute later, Gerrard got rid of Mertesacker and Friedrich in front of the penalty area and missed the goal.  In the 52nd minute, Lampard's free kick hit the crossbar again and the German team escaped.  In the 55th minute, Ram's cross from the right was headed out of the sideline by Rooney.  In the 56th minute, Gerrard's shot in front of the penalty area was not strong enough and was blocked by Neuer.?Hold on.  In the 57th minute, Lahm's return pass was almost intercepted by Defoe, and Neuer struck out in time to clear the ball.

The latter's shot was blocked by Boateng with his body.  In the 63rd minute, Bastian Schweinsteiger's long shot in front of the penalty area slightly missed the left post.  In the 64th minute, Capello replaced Milner with Joe Cole to strengthen the wing attack.  In the 66th minute, Friedrich knocked down Rooney in front of the penalty area, and Lampard's free kick hit the wall.  The German team immediately launched a counterattack. Podolski split to the right in front of the penalty area, and Thomas Smuller, who was unmarked, calmly kicked the ball and scored.  3 to 1, the German team once again expanded its lead.  In the 69th minute, the German team made a comeback. Muller hit the goal in front of the penalty area and missed the right post.

    In the 70th minute, the German team once again launched a quick counterattack.  Ozil passed Barry on the right and entered the penalty area before crossing the ball to the back point. Thomas Muller easily pushed into the England goal.  4-1, the German team secured the victory.  Capello then replaced Defoe with Heskey.  The German team replaced the two forwards Thomas Muller and Klose, and Trochowski and Gomez came on.  In the 79th minute, Gomez faced Upson's close defense in the penalty area and hit the goal over the crossbar from a small angle.  In the 81st minute, Rooney sent a wonderful pass.

    Seeing the England team players dejected on the pitch, and seeing his Chelsea teammates Lampard and others in tears, Qin Tian¡¯s first thought was that this is the charm of football, suspenseful penalties, massacre, humiliation, revenge, tears,  carnival¡­¡­
