Golden Greenery

( ) 30-year-old Kendall Waston is a Costa Rican right back who currently plays for the Vancouver Whitecaps of the Major League Baseball. This team is in Canada, and the club's largest shareholder is NBA legend Steve Nash. His brother Martin Nash used to be the core midfielder of the Whitecaps, but he has now retired.

Watson is not a character worth writing about in football, and there is a reason why he is mentioned here.

Costa Rica was eliminated early after losing to Serbia and Brazil 0:1 and 0:2 respectively in the first two rounds. In the final round of the match against Switzerland, when they were trailing 0:1 again, Watson scored with a header from a corner kick in the second half.

This goal is Costa Rica's first goal in Russia this year. Costa became the 32nd team to score a goal in the 2018 World Cup. So far, all the top 32 players have scored goals.

In Brazil four years ago, all the top 32 players scored goals. This may be the effect of the 'Heroes Order'. Before this, almost every World Cup had a Guangdan Commander.

Not to mention, Tunisia in 2018, China in 2002, Brother 2, Algeria and Honduras in 2010. However, among these teams, except for Greece and China, although the rest did not score a goal, they had a draw, which was not as pure as the two ancient civilizations.

Waston defeated Costa Rica, but Costa Rica's "Heroic Order" Brian Ruiz finally returned empty-handed. He failed to live up to this battle.

If Navas hadn't played for Real Madrid, Ruiz, 33, would actually be Costa's number one star. This guy has traveled around Belgium, the Eredivisie, and the Premier League for the past ten years. He once won the Eredivisie Golden Boot at Twente, and now plays for Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League. He is quite capable.

2 Is has firmly established himself as the main striker in Costa Rica. At that time, Natai was still being treated as a grandson to others in the domestic league.

Ruiz, who is good at passing and shooting, has scored goals in both World Cups. He served as a substitute for B Fee in Lisbon last season. Perhaps because of his age, Ruiz missed several good scoring opportunities in the first two games.

Even in the last game, God actually left a gap for Ruiz. No. 1 Costa Rica, the Swiss Borussia Monchengladbach defender pushed down Costa Arsenal winger Joel Campbell in the penalty area, and the referee awarded a penalty kick.

2The star of hope signed four years ago, he seemed to have played in the Premier League last season.

Ruiz came to take the penalty, and the opportunity was in front of him, but he hit the crossbar with his kick. Swiss Gladbach goalkeeper Jan Sommer missed, but the ball bounced off, hit him on the back of the head and crashed into the goal.

Sommer: "..."

Ruiz: "..."

This is all fate.

After four years of hard work, as the dust of the World Cup group stage has settled, half of the 32 heroes will bid farewell to this event. But this time he returned empty-handed and failed to live up to the expectations of the world.

Among these martial arts humiliations, Lewandowski and Muller are the most famous. Poland and Germany were eliminated at the bottom due to their weak offense. They will bear the blame for their weakness no matter what.

The three players who have successfully advanced with the team have not yet scored, but Mandzukic, Griezmann and Zagoev still have opportunities.

There are 48 World Cup games in total, accounting for 3/4 of them. More than halfway through the schedule, 21 heroes have scored 41 goals. Zhuoyang 7, Kane 5, Cristiano Ronaldo 4, Meiyan 3, Cheryshev and Lukaku, who are not heroes, also scored 3 goals each.

Although there is no team that can swallow all the eggs, there are some teams that score zero points. Forget about Panama, Egypt is really surprising.

After 0:1 Uruguay and 1:3 Russia, Egypt faced Saudi Arabia in the final round of the Battle of Honor, which had also lost two games in a row without scoring a single goal and swallowing 6 goals.

As a result, Salah scored first in the first half, but Saudi Arabia scored one in each of the two stoppage periods and won 2:1, which fully demonstrated the traditional advantages of Asian teams over African teams.

Salah, who returned from injury, tried his best. He scored Egypt's two goals in this World Cup. Although he left in a bleak way, he still wore the glow.

Asian teams performed well this year. Although Saudi Arabia, Iran and South Korea were eliminated, they each had wins, so Asia did not finish at the bottom of the group this time. South Korea directly caused a waste of German logistics materials.

Japan advanced, and their advancement was even more magical than France's.

After the first two rounds of Group H, Japan 4, Senegal 4, Colombia 3, Poland 0. In the final decisive battle, Japan lost 0:1 to Poland where Lewandowski did not score, but Colombia also defeated Senegal 1:0.

Colombia, Japan and Senegal are tied with 4 points, and both scored 4 goals and conceded 4 goals. The two teams met in the second round and ended up with a score of 2:2. In the end, according to the World Cup rules, Japan finished second with 4 in ‘Spiritual Civilization’.

Mbaye Niang, who was once known as the "New Zhuoyang" in AC Milan, and Salif Sane, the current Madibo midfielder, must both regret and want to scold, because Senegal contributed two self-contributions.

There are poor players who get zero points, and there are high rollers who get full points. The Chinese team, Croatia and Belgium are the three unforgiving hosts. Three wins from three games and 9 points. What do you think?

Moreover, the full scores of the three teams are full of gold. The Chinese team is 4:1 France and 3:1 Denmark. I am playing against the elite.

Croatia's 3:0 victory against Argentina directly triggered a discussion in world football about Messi's leadership and walking ability.

Belgium, whose offensive ability among the top 32 teams is second only to the Chinese team, blocked England 1:0 in the strong dialogue. Of course, this is also related to the fact that England, which has already qualified in advance, has hidden six main players including Kane, Sterling, Lin Huang, and Henderson.

What a strong dialogue requires is a sense of energy, especially for a team that aims to win the championship. I don’t know why England gave away the first place. Maybe they judged that Japan, the last group H to play, would take first place in the group.

The British Empire was choosing an opponent, and ended up picking Colombia, while Belgium picked Japan. However, given Japan's impressive technical and tactical capabilities this year, England may have mistakenly answered the multiple-choice question.

Group C where the Chinese team is located will be in 1, which is the two teeth of the Iberian Peninsula. China vs Portugal, France vs Spain.

Zhuo Yang actually didn't want to mess with Cristiano Ronaldo, and Cristiano Ronaldo didn't want to touch Zhuo Yang, but who made you, an unlucky guy, miss a penalty kick, and ended up being tied 1:1 by Iran in stoppage time with a penalty kick.

Five hundred years ago, Zhang Wuji destroyed the main altar of Zoroastrianism in Persia and traveled with Xiao Zhaoyun to Folangji, which is now Portugal. He gave the Yitian Sword to Columbus and asked him to take it to the New World of America, and left the Dragon-Slaying Sword in Franji.

Five hundred years later, there will be Messi and Ronaldo. This is the origin of Ronaldo and Iran.

The first goal Cristiano Ronaldo scored in the World Cup was a 2 that couldn't be moved, so the Dragon Saber had to PK the Golden Cudgel.
