Headline World Cup | Cristiano Ronaldo breaks discord rumours, Portugal and Brazil qualify early

Casemiro scored with a brilliant volley.

In four years, will Brazil repeat the mistake of not winning against Switzerland?

In the early hours of the 29th, it was another group stage match against Switzerland, and the Samba team's goal did not arrive until near the end of the game - thanks to Casemiro's goal, they won 1-0.

Although Neymar is injured in this game, Brazil have already qualified from the group with six points after this "affordable" victory.

B Fei scored, and Ronaldo hugged him.

In another match, with a second goal from B Fei, Cristiano Ronaldo's Portuguese team also qualified early. After beating Uruguay 2-0, the potential of this Portuguese team began to gradually show to the world.

Brazil celebrates early qualification.

Gather nine strikers and summon Casemiro to score

In the first group game, Brazil beat Serbia 2-0, but the core of the team, Neymar, suffered an injury.

After suffering nine fouls in the game, Neymar went off the pitch with a right ankle injury, and he was unable to get back on the pitch in this game.

But although he couldn't play, it didn't seem that Neymar was in a bad mood - he posted photos of himself lying in bed watching a live broadcast on social media, in addition to TV images, and his right foot wrapped around a protective gear.

Neymar posted a picture to watch the game.

According to teammate Vinicius, Neymar not only has a foot injury, but also a little fever. Fortunately, after the 1-0 victory of Brazil, they have already obtained their knockout tickets in advance, so the horses can rest assured and wait for recovery before returning.

For Neymar's miss, the teammates did not hide it. Teammate Marquinhos said after the game: "We know how much we miss him, he can create chances with his individual ability. ”

Vinicius 'grimaced' to pay tribute to Neymar.

Vinicius even tried to pay tribute to the horses with a goal - in the 64th minute, he made Neymar's "grimacing" gesture after the goal, but unfortunately was blown off because teammate Richarlison was offside...

The goal for Brazil's victory was belated until the 83rd minute – after receiving Rodrigo's pass, Casemiro's volley scored the only goal of the game to help Brazil win two straight group stage wins.

Casemiro's goal was fantastic.

Under the rounds of the group of luxury strikers, the final hammer was hammered by the midfielder "Fat Tiger", and the Swiss team was also helpless - there were too many people on the other side who could score goals, how to prevent this, there was no way to prevent it.

Fans say Brazil assembled nine strikers and summoned back Casemiro to score.

As a result, Brazil are unbeaten in 17 consecutive World Cup group games, breaking Germany's all-time record. At the same time, they were shot 0 times on target in their first two matches, and the last time they reached this statistic in the World Cup was 1998 champions France.

It seems that this samba army not only has the most terrifying offensive army, but also the back line is also iron-walled, and the Swiss team has to be more helpless: how to kick, can't kick...

During this match, the stadium suddenly turned off its lights.

The absence of a single shot on target in the two games also left fans worried about goalkeeper Alisson's health – always standing back blowing air conditioning, but be careful not to catch a cold.

You see, the Brazilian celebrities Kaka, Ronaldo, Carlos and Cafu in the stands, which are not tightly wrapped, or the older generation knows how to maintain health.

Kaka, Ronaldo, Carlos and Kafu gathered in the stands.

Start with two straight wins and go all the way to the final four?

Before the start of the World Cup, Portugal has not been in good shape recently compared to Brazil, Argentina and France.

As long as the whole team appears in public, there is only one question - how to watch the drama between Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United... The "president" was outraged and warned reporters not to harass his teammates.

But now, following in the footsteps of France and Brazil, Portugal has also advanced the group with two consecutive wins – and only these three teams have achieved this goal after two rounds.

B. Fernandez scored twice.

This time in a 2-0 win over Uruguay, the protagonist was not Cristiano Ronaldo, but his former team-mate B. Fernandes at Manchester United.

In the 53rd minute, B Fei sent a cross, and Ronaldo's header failed to touch the ball, but it still dangled the opponent's goalkeeper, and finally the goal was counted on B Fei's account.

In injury time, the Uruguayan player sent a penalty for handball in the box, and it was another B fee to freeze the score at 2-0.

C has a good relationship with his teammates.

For Cristiano Ronaldo, it was a bit of a pity that he could not use the penalty opportunity to extend his World Cup goal tally, thanks to the coach's substitution too quickly - in the 82nd minute, coach Santos replaced Ronaldo with Gonzalo Ramos.

But the "president" is not such a careful person, seeing his teammates hit a penalty to seal the victory, Ronaldo also immediately raised his hand to celebrate.

The two men, who were rumored to be at loggerheads in the dressing room before the World Cup, showed their unity with hugs and celebrations on the field. The B fee who played well in the whole game won the best player, and it is indeed well deserved.

Wearing the captain's armband, he was surrounded by a lonely Suarez.

In the World Cup, B Fei proved that he can be a "thigh-level" existence - B Fei has already scored 7 goals for the national team in 2022, ranking first in the team.

He scored four goals with two goals and two assists in his first two games, and was also tied for first place in the tournament with Kylian Mbappe (three goals and one assist).

Cristiano Ronaldo and former Real Madrid team-mate Pepe high-fived in celebration.

Historically, Portugal have only won two consecutive World Cup openings and reached the last four on both occasions, can they go further this time and even reach the final Hercules Cup?

Before the World Cup, Ronaldo said in an interview that if he won the World Cup, he would retire 100%. Well...... It was as if the president was "poisoning milk" himself.

Ronaldo is happy for his teammates.

The mask locked Son Heung-min

This night, the strong teams showed their dominance, but for the South Korean team, which shouldered the expectations of Asia, this night was a bit bitter.

After conceding two goals and then scoring two goals in a row, they lost 3-2, accumulating only one point from two rounds, and the final group game was a dead for Portugal, and the future is uncertain.

After this game, the data website predicted that the probability of qualifying from the group of the Korean team was only 13%, which especially regretted the Korean fans - in the last moments of the game, the referee did not give the Korean team another chance to attack with a corner kick, which also caused the dissatisfaction of the Korean team, and even collectively besieged the referee...

Paulo Bento received a red card.

South Korea coach Paulo Bento even received a red card for this, and he will not be able to direct the next match between South Korea and Portugal. As a Portuguese, Bento also avoided facing his homeland in this way...

In this clash, the most outstanding performance of the South Korean team was Cao Kyu-sung, who scored two consecutive headers in three minutes in the second half, not only was his offensive efficiency extremely high, but his good appearance also attracted the attention of fans.

Cao Gyu-sung has fascinated many female fans.

To say that the most embarrassing thing is undoubtedly the number one star in the South Korean team, Son Heung-min.

As the core of the team, Son Heung-min was blocked 2 shots, 2 successful crosses in 9 times, 2 steals, 17 lost balls in this game, and the post-game rating was only 6.4 points...

Son Heung-min, who usually has developed tear ducts, couldn't help but cry after losing this time, but in this situation, a member of the Ghanaian coaching staff stepped forward to take a photo with Son Xingmin.

The encounter of "Sun Qiu King" is not the most heart-piercing, only more heart-piercing.

Sun Xingmin could not hide his loneliness.

It seems that Son Heung-min, who suffered a facial fracture before the World Cup and underwent emergency surgery, was still sealed by the "Batman" mask.

With only the last group game left, Son Heung-min also knows that time is running out, but he has not given up yet.

'There is still hope of reaching the last 16, I will be ready with my team-mates, I am still trying to recover, I have to train hard and there are only a few days left.

Son Heung-min looked for the referee theory.

At present, in addition to the host Qatar, the five AFC teams of Iran, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Japan and South Korea still have hopes of qualifying.

Whether the "Light of Asia" can really shine depends on the final round.
