The wonderful World Cup events always make people sigh that time has passed quickly without realizing it. In a blink of an eye, the US World Cup has entered a more intense and hot knockout stage.

At the military stadium in Chicago, the old German tanks and the Belgian team led by Shifu staged a wonderful offensive battle. The two teams scored five goals like plum blossoms and arrows. In the end, the Germans sent the Belgians back to their hometown 3-2, and the former "European Red Devils" were heading for decline.

On the same day, the US capital Washington, Yero, Louis Enrique and Begilistan scored one goal each, and Spain easily defeated Switzerland to enter the quarterfinals.

The next day, the "Desert Fox" Saudi Arabia lost one-to-three to Sweden led by Brolin and Dahlin, and was unfortunately eliminated from the World Cup.

Compared with the calm match between Saudi Arabia and Sweden, there was a wonderful game between Argentina and Romania. After losing the "spiritual leader" suspended for taking banned drugs, Diego Maradona, the morale was extremely low. In the game against Romania, Argentina was scored by Erie Dumitrescu by just 11 minutes of the game. Four minutes later, "God of War" Batistuta tied the score with a penalty kick, but in the 18th minute, Dumitrescu scored another goal.

After the second half of the game entered the game, Argentine player Abel Balbo was seriously fouled by the opponent's goalkeeper, but the referee did not make a penalty. In the 58th minute, "midfield conspirator" Haji scored the third goal for Romania. Although Balbo scored a goal later, the Argentine team that lost Maradona could only stop in the second round with regret.

After the game, I saw Batistuta, who was depressed after losing the game during the TV broadcast. As the boss, Zhuang Mingge called the latter and comforted him.

On July 4, although the Netherlands was full of civil unrest, they still defeated Ireland with two goals from Borgkamp and Jonke. Brazil relied on Bebeto's goal in the 72nd minute to defeat the host US team. Bebeto's celebration after the goal in this game - "Cradle Dance" became a beautiful scenery in the World Cup. Another Brazilian player, Leonardo (the brother who later coached the two Milan heroes and is now the general manager of Paris Saint-Germain) brought him four suspensions with a fierce elbow, which means that even if Brazil finally reached the final, Leonardo would not be able to play. Although "Uncle Sam" was eliminated, they still achieved the best results since the United States participated in the World Cup. After the game, Brazil's left-back Leonardo, who was sent off by a red card for elbowing US team Ramos, sincerely apologized to the Americans.

On the 5th, Baggio, who is not yet a "melancholy prince", won two dollars at Foxburg Stadium in Massachusetts, helping Italy eliminate the "African Eagles" Nigeria; and Bulgaria fought with Mexico for 120 minutes and tied one-to-one, and had to stage a cruel penalty shootout. Although the Mexican goalkeeper "Butterfly" Campos saved the penalty kick of Bulgarian star Barakov, his teammates incredibly missed all the penalty kicks in the first three rounds. In the end, the Mexican lost 1:3 in the penalty shootout.

After the game that day, the list of the quarterfinals of the US World Cup was released in full swing, namely: Germany, Spain, Sweden, Romania, the Netherlands, Brazil, Italy and Bulgaria.

According to the schedule arranged by the World Cup organizing committee, in the next quarter-finals, the two games on July 9 are: Italy vs Spain and the Netherlands vs Brazil; on the next day, Germany will play Bulgaria in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and the Swedes will run to California to compete with Romania for a semi-final spot.

Since the knockout round on July 2, Zhuang Mingge's prediction has not been wrong. The results of Lian Zhan and Lian Zhuang's victory have made several "investors"'s confidence in Zhuang Mingge unprecedentedly expand.

It is said that women like to be careful in calculating animals. A few women gathered together to do it and it was so good to be good. After four competition days, their principal has more than doubled.

Stimulated by huge profits, several women's care for Zhuang Mingge in the following days was meticulous. Zhuang Mingge even privately doubted that if he wanted to hold an unblocked conference now, these crazy women would agree to him, of course, the premise was that Karin would not give him a hatchet.

In the first match of the World Cup quarterfinals, Italy coached by Saki met with another Spanish team led by Clement, who is famous for his superstitious veteran. Another "Baggio" in the Italian team - Dino Baggio, opened the first record with a long shot in the eleventh minute, while Spanish midfielder Caminello equalized the score in the second half.

In this game, Luis Enrique, a young midfielder who was still playing for Real Madrid, was in his prime. In the game, he used his speed and impact to make the veteran Tasotti, who was guarding the Italian right, feel embarrassed. In desperation, Tasotti had to use the "hidden skill" he had not used for a long time: when the referee's vision was blocked, he elbowed Enrique's nose bridge extremely hidden. Tasotti's elbow was indeed powerful, which directly broke the bridge of Luis Enrique's nose bone, but his complaint to the referee did not get the recognition he deserved. He believed that the referee was treated unfairly, and the Spaniard, who was full of fire, became more and more anxious after that. The Italian prince, Robert Baggio, succeeded in a sneak attack at the last moment, finally made the Spanish Bullfighter lose...

After the game, Tasotti, who escaped the referee's punishment in the game, was suspended by FIFA for 7 games, and the 34-year-old Tasotti said goodbye to his last World Cup.

In another game, the match between Brazil and the Netherlands was regarded by fans as the match between the two strongest teams in the US World Cup (although Basten and Gulit, the Netherlands is still very strong). Romario and Bebeto's goals gave Brazil a 2-0 lead, while Borgkamp and Winter equalized the score. Brazil finally relied on the veteran Blanco, who replaced the suspended Leonardo, to shoot a free kick in the 81st minute, and won the final victory.

What happened after this game made Borgkamp, ​​the frustrated "Ice Prince" in Inter Milan, also contracted "flying phobia":

The thing is this. After the Dutch team ended the World Cup, when they returned to Amsterdam by Boston, the takeoff time of the plane was delayed. After arriving at home, someone told Borgkamp that the reason why the plane was wrong was because some terrorists claimed to blow up the plane, and the police had to conduct a comprehensive search. They were not allowed to take off until they were convinced that there was no bomb. Borgkamp was very panicked after hearing this. Later, he said in an interview that he often encountered the tragedy of planes falling from the sky in his dreams. From then on, the "Ice Prince" never took the plane again. Therefore, in some away games in Arsenal, we always found that Borgkamp was obviously not injured but was not on the roster because of this "flying phobia".

In the second day, Germany played against Bulgaria at the Giants Stadium in New Jersey, who had never won a single match in the previous World Cups. However, in this World Cup, Bulgaria won two wins in the group stage and defeated Mexico in the quarterfinals, finally meeting defending champion Germany.

Germany also eliminated Belgium three-to-two before this. As the defending champions, they were the favorites to win the championship in this cup. In the 50th minute of the game, Bulgaria gave a penalty, and Lotar Mattus took the penalty and won the German team first. Everything seemed to be in a direction that was beneficial to the German team, but with 15 minutes left in the game, Kristo Stoickov, who had already scored four goals, used a free kick to help Bulgaria tie the score. This world wave flew directly into the bottom corner of the goal.

Stoickov's morale boosted Bulgaria. Just two minutes later, Bulgaria's Lechekov scored a header, and Bulgaria, who won another goal, surprisingly eliminated the defending champion Germany.

Relying on Raduchou's two goals, Romania and Sweden tenaciously tied with Sweden within 120 minutes. In the cruel penalty shootout, the players on both sides showed strong psychological tolerance. The penalty shootout was played until the sixth round before the winner was decided. Belodvich's penalty kick was saved by Swedish goalkeeper Ravelli, and Eastern European powerhouse Romania became a team that fell on the 12-yard line.

At this point, the match between the World Cup quarterfinals came to an end. The "return" that was not yet received by the top scorer, Zhuang Mingge and others' gambling funds also increased. Although the specific numbers have not been counted, Zhuang Mingge conservatively estimated that the funds should now exceed 100 million US dollars.

As the World Cup deepens, these funds will explode at a snowball speed, which is what Zhuang Mingge and others hope to see.
Chapter completed!
