Chapter 306: World Cup Top 8

Li Chenglong scored a free kick in the 91st minute, a free kick that made the Greek team extremely desperate.
　　 Originally they had one more advantage, and they evened the score. Then they continued to play overtime and they also had a better chance.
　　 Even in overtime, there is nothing to do, and a penalty kick against the Greeks is completely acceptable.
　　 The whole world knows that England can never play a penalty kick.
　　Unexpectedly, in this stoppage time, Lee Chenglong stood up and took a free kick to kill them, making them feel weak.
　　 This is basically a buzzer lore, and there is no time for them to equalize the score.
　　 At the end of the England celebration, the game time has entered 93 minutes.
　　 Then the referee set aside two more minutes to let the game continue until 95 minutes, but the Greek still couldn't find a chance, so he blew the whistle for the end of the game.
　　Beep~beep~beep~~~
　　 Two short and one long final whistle sounded, and there was loud cheers in the Maracana Stadium.
　　 At least half of the stadium is cheering.
　　 Among the 75,000 fans in the Maracanã stadium in this game, almost half are English fans, and a considerable part of the other half are neutral fans.
　　England fans cheered for their team's promotion, while neutral fans cheered for the game and cheered for Jackie Lee's wonderful free kick.
　　 Everyone thought this was a game with little suspense, but the game was ups and downs, and there were eye-catching pictures such as red cards and lore.
　　 "The game is over. England still relied on Bruce Lee's free kick in a ten-man battle, defeating Greece 2:1 and becoming the fourth team to advance to the quarterfinals in this World Cup."
　　 "This is also the first time that England has reached the World Cup quarter-finals in eight years since 2006..."
　　 At the end of the game, Gerrard, who had already returned to the locker room, also rushed out and celebrated with the whole team on the court.
　　 In a football match, players sent off by red cards are required to leave the game area, and the benches and other positions also belong to the game area. Naturally, they cannot stay and can only go back to the locker room to wait.
　　 Now that the game is over, Gerrard can also come back.
　　 "Bruce, well done, I know you won't let me down." Gerrard hugged Jackie Lee and hammered his back hard.
　　 If this game loses, Gerrard will definitely become a sinner, and he will definitely have to bear the burden.
　　 Just like in the 1998 World Cup, Beckham kicked Simeone willfully and was sent off by a red card, leading to England losing the game. At that time, Beckham was almost hacked by the fans.
　　 Although Greece today is not as important as Argentina's rivals, if Gerrard loses because of the red card, he will definitely be sprayed by fans.
　　 Fortunately, there is no danger, England successfully passed the barrier.
　　※※※
　　 Lee Chenglong defeated Greece with a free kick in the top sixteen of the World Cup, which gave the English media more room to play.
　　 "Super Blues lore, England re-enter the World Cup quarter-finals after eight years"
　　 "Gerard red card and Bruce redemption, ten people, England, and Greece are promoted"
　　 "Bruce Lee scored a free kick, second after Beckham"
　　 "Sixth goal, can Superman continue to perform miracles in the second half?" 》
　　 Lee Chenglong scored a free kick in the World Cup. This is the second man in England after Beckham.
　　 In fact, in the history of the England team, there has been one and only Beckham who has ever scored a goal from a free kick in the World Cup.
　　 However, Beckham has scored free kicks in both World Cups this year. He came twice alone.
　　 And in the 2006 free kick, Beckham also scored in the round of sixteen knockout. That free kick successfully helped England advance to the quarterfinals.
　　 After Lee Chenglong scored this free kick, he has already scored 6 goals in the World Cup. He surpassed James Rodriguez to return to the top of the World Cup scorers list, and added an assist.
　　 At the same time in the history of England, Jackie Lee has tied Lineker and became the England player with the most goals in a single World Cup.
　　 In addition, in the World Cup scoring list, Lee Chenglong's 6 goals also occupy the second place, only behind Lineker who scored 10 goals.
　　 It is also worth mentioning that the goal Lee Chenglong scored was his first goal in the knockout stage of the World Cup.
　　 This also made him the first among the four kings of the World Cup in Brazil to score knockout goals.
　　 Actually speaking, this is already the third World Cup for Ronaldo and Messi, but neither of them have scored a knockout goal.
　　※※※
　　 England’s game ended, and Lee Chenglong once again became the object of touted by the British media, while the World Cup game continues.
　　 On June 30th, there was another round of 16 duels.
　　 With Pogba's outstanding performance, France successfully defeated Nigeria 2:0 to advance to the quarterfinals.
　　 Immediately after Germany defeated Algeria 2:1 in overtime, it also passed smoothly.
Although the Algerian defended 0:0 for 90 minutes, Germany scored two goals in overtime to kill the game. Algeria only barely scored one goal at the end of the game. In fact, the score was not as good as it seemed. difficult.
　　 Of course, Germany, as the favorite to win the championship, could not score in 90 minutes against a team like Algeria. This is already very condemning.
　　 And then Germany will face France in the quarterfinals, and the Algerian national team has long been called the French second team.
　　Because Germany played so hard against the French second team in the top sixteen, some people have begun to dislike Germany.
　　 Then on July 1st, the last two teams of the top sixteen of the World Cup began.
　　 Argentina defeated Switzerland 1-0 to advance with Di Maria's overtime deciding goal.
　　 Belgium relied on De Bruyne’s pass and defeated the United States 2:1 in overtime to advance.
　　 Of the eight rounds of the World Cup’s sixteen knockout matches, five of them were played in overtime, which is also the best in the World Cup.
　　 In the other three games that did not play overtime, the Netherlands defeated Mexico and England defeated Greece, both of which were the final moments of the game.
　　 Without those two lore~EbookFREE.me~ this World Cup will create that kind of extremely exaggerated "spectacle" of 8 games and 7 overtime.
　　 Speaking of, in the 8 rounds of 16 games, only France won the game 2-0 cleanly, 5 of the other 7 games were a small win, and 2 games were directly played in penalty shootouts.
　　 Looking at it this way, the French youth army seems to be the most "championship-like" team, no wonder some people think that Germany may not be able to get France.
　　 But on the other hand, even though it was an overtime World Cup, in the eight-group matchup of the top sixteen, all the teams that made it to the top of the group had the last laugh, which proved to be a side test of the gold content of each group.
　　※※※
　　The World Cup quarterfinals came out, and all eight places were taken by European and South American teams.
　　 Five European teams, the Netherlands, England, France, Germany, Belgium.
　　 South American three teams, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia.
　　In the quarterfinals, Brazil will play against Colombia in the first half and France will play against Germany.
　　 In the second half of the game, England played against the Netherlands and Argentina played against Belgium.
　　 Due to the 16-finals stage, the three major champions Brazil, Argentina and Germany all performed a little bit of a hip, so this made the situation in the World Cup more confusing.
　　 At least the media are no longer so convinced that the top three teams will definitely win the World Cup.
