As Brazil was eliminated by Belgium, Russia's semi-finals were confirmed to be European teams, and it was the fifth time in history. Only two matches were played in the quarterfinals of
World Football Championship. With Brazil and Uruguay being eliminated by Belgium and France on the 46th, teams in South America, Asia, Africa and other continents have all been eliminated; the remaining teams are all European teams, and they will definitely win the semi-finals. The Russian World Football Championship was transformed into a European Cup early, which is the fifth time in history.
The first match day of the quarter-finals, France vs. Uruguay, Belgium vs. Brazil, is the only two European and American matches in the four quarter-finals. The French team, with great strength, defeated Uruguay 2-0 while chatting and laughing; Belgium used strong pressing and physical confrontation, making it difficult for the Simba Legion to dance, turning Brazil's tide of offense into invisible, while the "Red Devils"'s counterattack was precise and sharp, and they gained a 2-0 advantage early, and finally defeated Brazil 2-1.
The semi-finals of the World Football Championship became the semi-finals of the European Cup, and it appeared in a total of four times before. The semi-finals of the World Football Championship in 1934 were Italy, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Germany, and Italy finally won the championship; the semi-finals of the World Football Championship in 1966 were Germany, the Soviet Union, England and Portugal, and England finally won the championship; the semi-finals of the World Football Championship in 1982 were Poland , Italy, Germany and France, and Italy finally won the championship; the semi-finals of the World Football Championship in 2006 were Germany, Portugal, France and Italy, and Italy defeated France through a penalty shootout to win the championship.
Kazan can be called the Waterloo of the football powerhouse. Germany was pulled into the water by South Korea here and stopped in the group stage; Messi ended his dream of the World Football Championship here. On the 6th, it was the Brazilian team led by Neymar again; it was 26 shots and nine shots on the spot, but it was still unable to save the defeat. The five-star Brazil was blocked by Belgium from the semi-finals, revealing another upset in this World Football Championship.
Brazil has suffered five consecutive losses against European teams in the World Football Champions League, and this is also the fourth consecutive time it has been eliminated by European teams. In the 2006 World Football Championship, Brazil, which aims to defend the title, lost 0-1 to France in the quarter-finals; in the 2010 World Football Championship, it was eliminated by the Netherlands in the quarter-finals by 2-1; in the 2014 Domestic World Football Championship, it lost 1-7 to the later champion Germany in the semi-finals; in the subsequent third place, it lost 0-3 to the Netherlands, and the medal was not obtained.
The top teams are not strong and the weak teams are not weak, which has become the main theme of the Russian World Football Championship. Russia, which was regarded as the "weakest host" before the game, actually kicked Spain home in the quarterfinals; Germany, which scored the most in the semi-finals and was regarded as the most stable in the competition, failed to qualify in the group; the five-star Brazil was defeated by the new force Belgium. So far, six of the eight championships in the history of the World Football Championship have been destroyed, leaving only France and England.
At present, France and Belgium have advanced to the semi-finals of the World Football Championship; the other half of the zone are Russia vs. Croatia, England vs. Sweden. There will be at least two new teams in this semi-finals who have never won the championship.
In this World Football Championship, veteran tycoons were beaten down one by one; on the land of Russia, a new World Football Championship will really be born.
