Chapter 1153 The Dark Horse
When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, the score was 2:0, with the home team at the front and the visiting team at the back.
Neymar's performance throughout the first half can be said to be very good. The Brazilian team was able to lead Spain by two goals in the first half because of his outstanding performance, especially the second goal. As the initiator of the offense and as the finisher, he expanded the score.
Seeing Neymar perform so well, the Brazilian fans in the stands were very excited and proud. As Ronaldo and Ronaldinho withdrew from the stage of history one after another, finally someone can carry the banner of the Brazilian team's superstar.
Of course, what makes Brazilian fans most proud is that the players of this Brazilian team are very united. From the first game of the group stage, they have always insisted on entering the field with their hands on their shoulders, and the process of the game also reflects this.
Except for Neymar's approval from Scolari to take too many balls, the other players are serving the whole and thus gaining more opportunities.
At this time, the performance of the Spanish players who entered the locker room was extremely frustrating, especially the trailblazers Xavi, Iker Casillas, Iniesta and David Silva, who had won three international championships in Spain in six years.
Bosque can see all the negative emotions shown by the players, but he has no better way to motivate the players. Aside from the aging of the players in the team, several starters have no pursuit of personal honor in the national team.
In addition to following Ailuo to maintain a good hunger for the championship, those players who have won the European Cup and World Cup champions do not have the courage to fight to the end. If it is not for Paco's outstanding performance in the group stage, this Spanish team can return home early. How can they have a chance to participate in the 1/8 finals?
In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. At the beginning stage, the two sides chose a tentative offensive and defensive battle.
With the passage of time, the real swords and guns began. After 10 minutes, the Spanish coach Bosque took the lead in making adjustments to the personnel. Xavi Martinez replaced the poor veteran Xavi.
Soon, this substitution adjustment had an immediate effect. Harvey Martinez's strong defense allowed Harvey Alonso to devote more of his mind to the offense, thereby assisting the front.
No. 605 minutes, Spain finally scored a goal and narrowed the score to one, but at this moment, Neymar stepped forward again. He created a direct free kick in the frontcourt. William hit a world wave to expand the score again...
Not long after reducing the score, Brazil expanded the score, which is unacceptable for Spanish players.
Even though the players playing for Valencia have always maintained a hunger for the championship under the influence of Aiello, but they were helpless by the poor performance of other players. In the end, under the cheers and cheers of nearly 3% of the fans at the scene, the Brazilian team defeated the defending champion Spain 1:[-] and advanced to the quarterfinals.
And Neymar, who performed well, was undisputedly named the best player on the spot. The moment the final whistle blew, the on-site director paid attention to him from all angles, allowing fans all over the world to witness the super talent that only emerges once in Brazilian football in 50 years!

Two hours later, the second round of 1/8 finals began. The two sides of the match were Colombia, who was first in Group C, and Uruguay, who was second in Group D.
It is worth mentioning the life-and-death battle between Uruguay and Italy in the third round of Group D. Although Uruguay won the game and got the right to qualify for the group, because striker Suarez bit Italian defender Chiellini during the game, FIFA banned him for nine games after the game.
In other words, Suarez completely waved goodbye to this World Cup...
Uruguay with Suarez and Cavani is terrifying, but without Suarez, Cavani did not show the excellent state of the first two games at all, and Colombia led the team to move forward because of James Rodriguez, who performed well in the group stage.
Among them, in the No. 207 minute of the game, the chest-stopped ball without any adjustments and the left-footed volley scored the goal and became a topic that everyone talked about.
You must know that James Rodriguez's goal was completed after half-turning and stopping the ball with his back to the goal, and the strength and angle are excellent. He hit the lower edge of the crossbar and flew into the goal.
Even the Uruguayan fans subconsciously burst into shouts for this goal, because...the goal was too beautiful.
In the second half, it was James Rodriguez's goal to help Colombia surpass the score, and he also tied Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo because of this goal, and jumped to second place in the scorer list in one fell swoop.
James Rodriguez, who played well, made countless lottery players feel extremely depressed. James Rodriguez, who only occasionally shined in the group stage, was brilliant in the knockout round. If this state continues, coupled with Colombia's strong overall, it is very likely to go further...
According to the results of the above two games, the quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil will be played against...Brazil and Colombia.

The 1/8 final between the Chinese team and Algeria is at [-]:[-] am on July [-]st, BJ time, which is [-]:[-] pm local time in Brazil, which is a suitable time for playing football.
But for fans far away in China, it is not a time period, because... four o'clock in the morning is the time period for Chinese people to sleep deeply.
However, according to the pre-match votes of CCTV and other online media, hundreds of millions of fans said they would watch the live broadcast of the 1/8 final match between the Chinese team and Algeria, and even other domestic athletes said they would watch it.
After all, with the overall progress of Chinese football, it is easy to stimulate everyone's desire to watch football, especially the world's top football match - the World Cup.
Although the overall strength of Algeria is not comparable to that of the Chinese team, the domestic publicity is not low. Whether it is CCTV, China's four major portals and other Internet TV stations, they are very enthusiastic about publicity.
In 2010, the Chinese team entered the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Four years later, the World Cup in Brazil entered the knockout round, and the opponent was Algeria. According to the situation of the match, it can basically be concluded that the Chinese team can enter the quarter-finals of the World Cup again.
This kind of win-win mentality increases fans' desire to watch...
There are three 1/8 finals before the 1/8 final between the Chinese team and Algeria, namely the Netherlands VS Mexico, Costa Rica VS Greece, and Germany VS Nigeria.
In these three 1/8 finals, the only surprise is that Costa Rica, which entered the World Cup knockout for the first time, miraculously defeated Greece in a penalty shootout and entered the quarterfinals...
