MM Racing Chapter 291
Chapter 291
Although they are quite emotional about the exit of Spain and England, in the eyes of the Portuguese players, it is a good thing for them.
A lot of teams are slow to heat, like Spain.
Maybe the front game can't play, but the back game is fierce.
You know, in the first round of the last World Cup, Spain lost to Switzerland, and it was a black start.
But in the end, Spain still won the championship and lifted the Hercules Cup.
How to say that Spain and England are two giants, strictly speaking, Portugal is also two less opponents.
Isn't that a good thing!
Of course, if all the big teams are eliminated from the group stage, then Portugal can directly lift the cup.
Next, Portugal plays against the United States.
Portugal can be said to have been fully prepared for this battle.
The style of the American team is relatively similar to that of the German team, after all, the head coach of the American team Klinsmann was the head coach of the German team before, and it was he who set off the technological reform of German football.
Even Loew was once Klinsmann's assistant to the German national team, and you can imagine how the American team plays.
However, even the real German team was kicked by Portugal, and the United States, which is a bit like the small German team, has no chance of survival against Portugal.
If the United States could still create a little chance in the opening game, as Portugal gradually entered the form, the American team was completely suppressed.
The huge power gap makes it difficult for the U.S. team to even fight back.
And the score is also very touching!
In the first half, Xu Ning and Ronaldo each scored, plus Nani, who was holding back because of the early exit in the last game, also scored, Portugal was already 3-0 ahead.
Not long after the opening of the second half, Xu Ning tore through the American defense again, slammed open the American goal, and changed the score to 4:0.
Team America was powerless to resist.
In this case, Paulo Bento simply paid for the early withdrawal and replaced Xu Ning and gave Postiga the opportunity to play.
As for Ronaldo, Paul Bento also knows his character and simply puts him on the field.
However, although Ronaldo works hard, he still seems a little unable to face the iron barrel formation of the American team alone.
Instead, Andre Gomez, who came off the bench in the second half, found the opportunity to blast the U.S. goal with a long-range shot and scored his first World Cup goal.
In the end, Portugal defeated the United States 5-0 to win two consecutive group games!
This score is not so surprising.
After all, the United States and Portugal are not in strength, and it is not surprising that they scored this score.
Not to mention that Portugal actually collected their strength in the second half, and Xu Ning's exit is the best proof of this.
After the match, Klinsmann said that Portugal, with such a strong strength, should not be in world football at all, they would make all their opponents desperate.
This is already very high praise and praise.
It sounds like an exaggeration, but no one can question it.
At least let other giants face the current Portugal, there is no one who is not stunned.
Interestingly, in the next group match, Germany was forced to draw by Ghana.
After being bloodbathed in Portugal in the first round, Loew seemed to have separated from the players.
The leaderless German team did not emerge quickly from the gloom.
Facing the wolf-like Ghana, the German team even fell behind on the field.
If it weren't for Ram and Mueller's death, I'm afraid the German team would have returned home early.
Now, in Group G, Portugal have secured a place in a group with six points from both wins, and their huge goal difference has allowed them to almost lock in top of the group.
Although the United States, who have three points from two games, one win and one loss, still have the theoretical possibility of occupying the top of the group, it is only a theoretical possibility.
Under what circumstances will they overwhelm Portugal to finish first in the group?
Not only do you have to beat Germany, but you also need Ghana to beat Portugal, so that Portugal can erase Portugal's huge goal difference!
This is simply impossible!
So the goal of the US team now is not to overtake Portugal, but to not give Germany and Ghana a chance!
Germany and Ghana both won two games, one draw and one defeat, and only got one point.
Ghana is not to worry, they will face a strong Portugal in the final round, as long as Portugal does not deliberately release water, Ghana team will hardly have a chance.
As long as the United States team guarantees that it does not lose to Germany, it can qualify as the second in the group.
Or rather, the winner of the final round between the United States and Germany will successfully break through from the group stage!
At least for now, it seems that the U.S. team has the advantage, after all, they just need to not lose.
This situation was probably not expected by everyone before the start of the World Cup.
In a sense, the qualification situation of Group G should actually be very clear.
Portugal and Germany join forces to qualify, which is nothing more than who comes first.
And the American team and the Ghanaian team play more of the role of accompanying the prince to study, and strive to lose less ugly is victory.
But who would have thought that the German team pulled its crotch and almost didn't even have the initiative in its own hands!
In contrast, Germany and Portugal are completely incomparable.
Portugal could have resorted to a large rotation in the final round, giving the substitutes a chance to play, and it would not be a trip in vain.
And the German team has to fight back, and if you can't win the American team, you will have to go home early!
It's really a shame!
Anyway, now the Portuguese players are watching the German team lively.
In the final group stage, Portugal traveled to Brasilia, the capital of Brazil.
They will face Ghana at the National Stadium.
And this game Portugal has completely let itself go.
Except for Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe, all the main players were rotated, allowing the substitutes to play.
This is a bad thing to do with Ghana!
It also worries the German team and the American team!
You know, Ghana also has a chance to qualify.
Had Ghana beaten a visibly reserved Portugal by a wide margin, Ghana would have reached four points and then scored a goal difference against the United States or Germany.
It depends on the results of the game between the United States and Germany.
If the United States wins, then needless to say, the United States will qualify.
If it is a draw, Germany will be eliminated, and the United States and Ghana will win by goal difference.
If Germany wins, the United States is eliminated, and Germany and Ghana win on goal difference.
Whether it is the United States or Germany, it is very unfavorable to match Ghana on goal difference.
After all, they all lost to Germany by a big margin!
If the Ghanaian team really picks up a bargain in the end, it will definitely be a big joke in world football!
