The World Cup in Russia is approaching, and the World Cup has become the most concerned topic in the sports world. Looking back at the previous 20 World Cup matches, there are too many teams, stars and goals to be memorable. Therefore, when the World Cup boom is gradually coming, the live bar has launched a new column of "World Cup Memories Killing". This section includes classic goals from a World Cup, a comment on a player's overall performance at a World Cup, and a team's overall review at a World Cup.
【World Ball: Scotland's Exquisite Cooperation to Fight New Zealand】
At the 1982 World Cup, Scotland won 5-2 against New Zealand. Although Scotland failed to qualify for the knockout rounds, the team played a delicate free-kick combination in this match.
Figure 1: Free kick opportunity in front of the penalty area, Scotland's design is very exquisite. The two teammates pretended to make a mistake, completely interfering with the New Zealand team's human wall and the defenders who came to prepare to block. Robertson seized the opportunity to shoot directly at goal and the ball flew into the dead corner of the goal.
[Point General Stage: Chilawite, The Magic Goalkeeper Slipped Off the Altar in 2002]
Before Boute and Cheney, Paraguay Goalkeeper Lavert was the representative of the scoring goalkeeper. With excellent goal-line skills and set-piece footwork, he began his career in 1982 with Paraguayan club Lucreño. However, he is really known to the world during his time in the Argentine league. With outstanding savings in San Lorenzo, he joined La Liga side Zaragoza. After playing 1 goal in 79 games, he returned to Argentina to join Sasfeld. Here, he played 270 league games for the team, scoring a terrifying 36 goals (including a stunning 60m shot), three A-League titles and one Copa Libertadores and one Toyota Cup to make him even more famous.
Since then, he has joined Ligue 1 side Strasbourg, and although he has played 50 games, he has helped the team win the French Cup once. After the 2002 World Cup, Chilavet has no peak moment state under age and weight gain. After playing for Penalore and Sarsfield, he chose to retire in 2004.
At the national team level, Chilawite played 74 times for the Paraguayan national team, scoring 8 goals and participating in the World Cups of '98 and '02. In the 1998 World Cup, Paraguay was picked by the French team's Golden Ball, but Chilawite performed well and was selected for the best team. In the 2002 World Cup, Chilawite's decline in form has been very obvious, and the attack mistake against Spain is a direct demonstration of his ability to decline in all aspects, allowing him to finally walk off the altar.
Figure 2: At the '98 World Cup, Chilawite dedicated himself to several consecutive matches.
Figure 3: In the group stage of the 2002 World Cup against Spain, Chilawite made a mistake and conceded a goal. At that time, this goal was recognized by many media and commentators as an ultra-low-level mistake, and bluntly said that Chilawite could not "fly".
Fig. 4: Although he did not score in the World Cup, Chilawite showed his set-piece footwork many times.

Figure 5: The picture of Figo forcing a breakthrough assist in the group stage is very classic.

In the quarter-finals, the team fought England for 120 minutes and won 3-1 in a penalty shootout to advance. In the final four against France, Portugal were scored by Zidane and missed the final. In the final third-place battle, the team lost 3-1 to Germany and finished fourth.
3. Brief comment
Before the start of the tournament, Portugal, as the runner-up of Euro 2004, was not a favorite to win the championship, and after the 2002 Golden Generation Fold Group Stage, only Figo returned to the national team was left in this tournament.
In this tournament, the problem of Portugal's lack of a decisive striker has once again been highlighted. Whether it's Paulletta, Nuno Gomez or Postiga, they don't perform well. Portugal have shown a tough flank in many games but no one in the penalty area to solve the problem. In the semi-final against France, Portugal had to force the side of the road under the blockade of Vieri and Makelele, and after opening up the situation on the wing, the embarrassment of not having a center forward was highlighted.
Figure 6: In the absence of a centre-forward, portugal relies heavily on flank assaults and long-range shots from ludico, Maniche and others. In the crucial match against France, Paulletta and substitute Postiga performed sluggishly, and Portugal's center problem was highlighted in all aspects.
