After a day of rest in the World Cup, the war rekindled.

The first game of the quarterfinals was a battle between France and Germany, the long-standing European rivals.

The two European giants met in the quarterfinals, which made many European footballers very regretful, because these two teams performed well in this World Cup. Of course, I hope the two teams can be separated. If they can play against China and Colombia respectively, that would be great.

There should be no difficulty in the Netherlands over there to defeat Costa Rica.

It is very likely that Belgium will lose to Argentina. But it doesn’t matter. At that time, three European teams will be besieged one Argentina in the semi-finals. At that time, it is very likely that European teams will meet in the finals of the World Cup held in South America.

Of course, such a beautiful idea is difficult to realize. France and Germany must have one of them home.

The two teams have played against each other in history for a total of 25 times, with France having the upper hand with 11 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses, which is different from the fact that the German team is stronger today.

However, in the World Cup, the results of both sides are different.

In the World Cup, the two sides met three times in the Swedish World Cup in 1958, the Spanish World Cup in 1982 and the Mexico World Cup in 1986.

The French team only won 6:3 in its first encounter in 1958. In 1982, Germany eliminated the French team through a penalty kick after the two sides drew in the semi-finals. This game is one of the classic battles in the history of the World Cup, and it can even be said to be the most classic reversal victory in the history of the World Cup. The German team broke the deadlock in the 17th minute of the game with Litbaerski's long shot and took the lead. However, the French team, which formed the "iron triangle" composed of Platini, Gileser and Tigana, controlled the situation after falling behind. They siege the German team, and created a penalty kick just nine minutes after the German team scored, and then Platini hit it and equalized the score.

The two sides fought fiercely next time. French player Batistone collided with German goalkeeper Schumacher. Schumacher rushed out of the penalty area and knocked Batistone into a coma with his knee, but he was not punished.

After the game entered overtime, the French team helped the French team to take a 3:1 lead with a free kick from Tresso in six minutes and Gileser's volley. This score can basically be sentenced to the death penalty for the German team, but the German team burst out with strong combat power when they were in a desperate situation. Rummenigge, who came on as a substitute, scored a goal in 102 minutes.

In the 108th minute, Fisher's barb in front of the goal hit the ball into a blind spot and equalized the score!

In the end, the German team defeated the French team with their outstanding psychological qualities in the penalty shootout.

This game has become the best evidence that the German tank has the will of steel. After all, it can be recovered if two goals are lost in overtime and then won. It is unprecedented in the history of the World Cup, and no one has come after it...

When people talk about the German team later, they will have the impression of the Germans being tenacious, because of this classic French-German battle.

The third World Cup confrontation between the two sides was in the semi-finals of the 1986 World Cup. The German team easily defeated France 2-0 and reached the final. However, they lost to the Argentina team, which owned the "King of Football" Maradona, in the final and missed the championship.

The World Cup confrontation between Germany and France is easy to produce classics, but the game in this World Cup is different.

Before the game, fans and the media had high hopes for this strong dialogue, hoping to see a classic showdown comparable to the 1982 World Cup.

This is even more true for many Chinese fans. There are already many fans of German and French football in China.

Moreover, before the Chinese team's game, in the early morning, there was such a strong conversation, so time was easier.

Everyone is looking forward to a great game.

But the actual result is disappointing.

Lyon lost the ball and played a dull game.

In the 12th minute, the German team won a free kick. Kroos hurled the ball into the French team's penalty area on the left. Hummels, a central defender who played for Dortmund, squeezed out Varane, who was defending him, and headed the ball to help the German team take a goal.

The two of them had just met in the Champions League final and now they meet again in the national team.

With just one goal, the German team finally defeated France 1-0.

A goal was scored in 90 minutes, and the scene was not exciting enough, which made the Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game very depressed. Many people said on the Internet that he fell asleep while watching...

Some fans also joked about the dullness of this game: "The German team and the French team must know that the next game is the focus of our attention. In order to ensure that we Chinese fans have enough sleep time, they joined forces to present this hypnotic game and successfully put us asleep. I believe that after these 90 minutes of sleep supplements, Chinese fans will be able to cheer for the Chinese team in high spirits when watching the Chinese team and Colombia game later!"

In this match between France and Germany, Chinese players only watched the first half in the hotel and saw Hummels' goal.

For Zhou Yi, Yan Min and Yang Muge, they are more familiar with the German team. If they have to choose one of the French and German teams, they hope it is the German team.

Teammates who used to be in the club had to fight for their own World Cup.

But not long after the second half began, the Chinese team players boarded the bus and went to the game venue Castran Stadium under the urging of the coach.

Along the way, you can see Chinese fans waving the five-star red flag to cheer them on.

These fans waved to the Chinese team's bus, and the Chinese team players in the car also waved to thank them.

After coming to the locker room at Castran Stadium, the equipment administrator who arrived early had placed the players' jerseys and sneakers in their respective positions. When the players had not arrived, the photographer had already come in and took photos of the locker room. Each player's jersey would have a shot, but the lens was the one that stayed on the longest time above Zhou Yi's ball.

When the players arrived in the locker room, the game between France and Germany was almost over, and Germany still led the French team with one goal.

The Chinese players are still concerned about the outcome of the game in the locker room. After all, if they beat Colombia, the outcome of this game will be related to who their opponent in the quarterfinals.

In the end, the German team defeated France with Hummels' goal and became the first team to enter the semi-finals.

Zhou Yi picked up his phone and posted a message on Twitter and Facebook: "Congratulations to the German team for entering the semi-finals!" Then he @ed his teammates in Dortmund in a circle.

After putting down his phone, he began to change his clothes and put on training clothes.

As the players started changing clothes, Li Te came in and found Rong Hao and Yang Hao who were changing clothes, and said to them: "You both have yellow cards on them, and you will be suspended in another game. If you want to play later, be careful in the game..."

Lippi has not announced the starting list of the Chinese team in this game. Not only does the outside world not know, but even the players themselves do not know who will start in the game.

Rong Hao and Yang Hao nodded: "Don't worry."

Li Te said again: "But if there is a real emergency, even if you want to get a yellow card, you still have to do what you should do. Don't hesitate. You are all defensive players and you will definitely face no less pressure."

With 45 minutes left before the start of the game, the Chinese team appeared on the court and began to warm up. At this time, many fans of both sides were already sitting in the stands at Castron Stadium.

Colombia wore their traditional yellow tops and white shorts jerseys in this game, so Colombia fans also dressed up in yellow jerseys in this game. Looking around, they looked at the sky with yellow crowds, that is, Colombian fans, who occupied the vast majority of the stands. Of course, there should be some Brazilian fans wearing yellow jerseys...

Since Brazil was eliminated, Brazilian fans' enthusiasm for the World Cup has been reduced a lot.

But judging from the attendance rate of the stands, this game is pretty good.

Maybe some Brazilian fans want to see the Chinese team be eliminated...

The Chinese team still wore red jerseys in this game, and Chinese fans also used red clothes as their main color.

The color of the Korean team's home jersey is also red, so no wonder two Korean fans were beaten by Brazilian fans some time ago... The Brazilian must have called the red Korean jersey the red Chinese team jersey. Although the reds of the two teams are actually completely different, in the eyes of Brazilians who are not familiar with South Korea and Chinese football, they are probably the same...
