"Story World Cup" column is a memory column recently launched by Live Bar. Before the start of the World Cup in Russia, through a detailed review of previous World Cup events, I hope to give bar friends a comprehensive introduction to the past World Cup stadium.
[Overview]
978, the great motherland launched the grand strategy of reform and opening up, and in this year, CCTV broadcasted the World Cup event in China for the first time. Although, according to subsequent media reports, CCTV did not have official authorization at that time, but instead stole the public signals of international broadcast satellites, it could not stop the Chinese people's desire for the football world. In an era when TVs were still "rare things", dozens of people surrounded a TV to watch football were everywhere. This World Cup has too many historical records, such as more than 100 teams participating in the qualifiers for the first time; for example, setting up fair competition awards for the first time; for example, introducing a penalty shootout for the first time determines the outcome of the game; for example, the selection of the best player is divided into gold, silver, and bronze ball awards for the first time, etc. In the end, in Argentina, after 38 games of fighting, the host Argentina team defeated the Netherlands 3-1 after overtime in the final, and eventually became the sixth team to win the World Cup championship after Uruguay, Italy, Germany, Brazil and England.
[About posters, balls and mascots]
978 World Cup mascot continues the design ideas of the previous two World Cups, focusing on characters. The mascot of this World Cup is a little boy wearing a blue and white striped shirt. His name is "Gauchito", which means "Little Gauchito". Gao Qiao people is a nation distributed in Argentina Pampas grassland and Uruguay grassland. It can be said that Argentina's "nationality" is fully displayed. Figure 1: The mascot of this World Cup, Xiao Gao Qiao, and a more realistic publicity poster.
The poster of this World Cup has changed a certain style compared to the poster of previous events: it is more realistic! In previous World Cup events, most of the players were presented with cartoon characters, but the posters of this World Cup and the silhouettes of the players were more realistic and received high praise.
The ball used in this World Cup: Tango (Tango), continues to be provided by Adidas, and also continues the more modern design model in the previous two events. Moreover, in terms of appearance design, the black shadows were separated from the ball skin for the first time, which gave the football a qualitative change in appearance design.

[The participating teams and their respective journeys: Classics and controversies are together]
In the qualifiers of this World Cup, more than 100 teams participated in the qualifiers for the first time, and in the end, 16 teams reached the final stage. Although Argentina launched a military coup in two years before the start of the final circle, the Netherlands and other teams had considered not to participate in this event, after the final communication, all 16 teams came to Argentina to participate.
This World Cup is divided into two stages of group stages, with 16 teams being divided into 4 groups, and the top two in each group advanced to the second stage of group stage.The second stage of the group stage was divided into two groups, with the top group competing for the championship and the second group competing for the third place. In the end, in the first group stage, the Netherlands, Italy, the Federal Republic of Germany, Austria, Argentina, Brazil, Poland and Peru successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
Figure 5: Scores in the first stage of the group stage
In the first round of the group stage, the Netherlands team, as the runner-up of the last World Cup, broke out in a cold, and they were defeated 3-2 by the Scotland team. Scotland's Jacques Jermel scored a classic goal against the Netherlands. This goal shot later appeared in the famous movie "Trainspotting", making this goal more classic.
Figure 6: Yach Jermer scored this wonderful goal in the last round of the group stage, allowing Scotland to win the only victory in the first phase of the group stage of this World Cup.
In the second stage of the group stage, the Netherlands and Argentina finally defeated their opponents in their respective groups to enter the finals, and the host Argentina won 3-1 after overtime. , led by Paul Rossi, , Italy competed for third place with , which missed the final "controversial" and the Brazilian team . In the end, the Brazilian team wrote a 2-1 victory and laughed to the end.
Figure 7: Scores in the second stage
The biggest controversy in the group stage in the second stage was in the last round of Argentina and Brazil in the final round of the final round of the group stage. The two sides had previously won the first round and they reached 0-0 in the second round, but Brazil had the advantage of the goal difference. In the last round, Brazil defeated Poland 3-1 first, further expanding the advantage of gains and losses, making Argentina need to win at least 4 goals in the final match against Peru to overwhelm Brazil and enter the final.
In the last round of the game, Argentina defeated Peru 6-0 and beat Brazil to win the top spot in the group. After the game, the unexpected results aroused suspicion from all parties. However, until today, the players of both teams denied that there was some kind of agreement or tacit understanding between them. However, some media later revealed that during the military government, Argentina used 35,000 tons of grain and $50 million in loan funds to exchange for this victory. Judging from the performance of the two teams on the court at that time, the Peruvians were indeed a little careless.
Figure 8: Peru team, who performed a bit carelessly on the court, was eventually defeated 6-0 by Argentina, who had strong attack power.
[Official Best: Kempes was elected Golden Ball Award]

. In 1977, we restored the college entrance examination system. In the 1978 college entrance examination, "What season is Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina during the summer solstice in Beijing?" There are only a handful of people who answered this question correctly.Yuan Xi, former editor-in-chief of the Reading Edition of the People's Daily, said in an interview that he realized that the seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres were exactly the opposite because he watched the World Cup. He was lucky to answer this geography question correctly in the college entrance examination that had just resumed. Figure 12: The 1978 college entrance examination changed the fate of many people.
. In addition to more than 100 teams participating in the World Cup qualifiers, new troops have also been welcomed by the World Cup stadium, namely Iran and Tunisia . Compared with Tunisia's outstanding record of 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in three games, the Iranian team's record of 1 draw and 2 losses is a bit bad. Their first point on the World Cup came from the Scotland team led by Daglish , the second round of the group stage. . Doping rumors. According to Jimmy Burns, the author of "Hand of God Maradona ", a team doctor of the Argentine national team once revealed to him that Argentine players had taken stimulants before the World Cup. However, due to the environment in which Argentina domestic soldiers ruled the world at that time, only Scottish player Willie Johnstone was suspended in this World Cup. After being diagnosed with a positive urine test, he was directly disqualified from the World Cup and was punished by FIFA for banning the national team competition for one year. Johnstone reportedly took two tablets of fenkanfamine before the game to improve his competitive form. According to later information, Kempes and Alberto Tarantini both took stimulants before the World Cup.
