Among the top 16 teams in this World Cup, there are as many as 5 teams from AFC and non- Football League , namely Japan, Australia, South Korea, Morocco and Senegal . Among them, Morocco even entered the quarterfinals. Asian and African teams have always been the " Third World " of football, but the performance of these teams is eye-catching, especially the three teams, Morocco, Japan and South Korea, each with different excitement.
pure Morocco puts Spain in a "dual state". After defeating the Spanish team at a penalty kick, Morocco team celebrated the victory
"I have been to Morocco, and the football there is very pure." In the past, old fans usually smiled knowingly when they heard the meme of "Xu Zhimo" (the nickname given to CCTV commentator Xu Yang ). But after Morocco defeated Spain through a penalty kick and entered the quarterfinals of the World Cup and became the "only seedling" of Asian and African teams, their pure football has indeed attracted a large number of fans.
From the group stage to the knockout stage, Morocco has been insisting on its tough defense and sharp counterattack. Apart from the own goal against Canada, no opponent has ever broken their goal. In the game against Spain, Morocco took this "purity" to the extreme - he remained unmoved and "being himself" and let his opponents gain the advantage of possessing the ball and passing ball. I set up a fence and waited for an opportunity to counterattack.
In fact, Morocco showed better courage, determination and actual opportunities in the 120-minute game than Spain. If it weren't for the substitute striker to squander the opportunity, the game could have been solved in overtime. In this event, 5 teams in Asia and Africa entered the top 16. Morocco was able to eventually become the only one in the top 8, not only because they have stars like Ashraf , Ziyech, and Mazravi , but also because of their tenacity, unity and purity. Is the Spanish team that was eliminated by them purely? If we follow the persistence of playing style, Spain is "the purest" and is still playing pass-control football for ten years, but lacks explosive points, does not have the determination to change the offensive rhythm and offensive method, and the "soft feet" of the penalty shootout, which ultimately made Spain bid farewell to this World Cup amidst a series of "group ridicule".
If it is said to be "unpure", it involves the group stage " conspiracy theory " that many people complained about. Spain is suspected of "picking opponents". After falling behind Japan 1:2, "complied with the situation" and lost the game, "picking" the first place in another group Morocco, and "doing" Germany.
Morocco has now put the Spanish team in a "dual-difficulty" - if it is a "chicken thief who chooses the opponent", then it is "no good ending"; if there is no "conspiracy theory", then it is really "dish". Being reversed by Japan means lack of strength, and being eliminated by Morocco means not having enough strength. In short, such a "dual situation" was caused by the Spanish team itself and it was unreproachable.

Respect the rules of the game and help Japanese football successfully "get out of Asia"
Japanese team reversed the German team and defended in the last moment
Japanese team doubled and defeated Spain and Germany two world champion teams, standing out from the death group with the first in the group. This is something no one could have thought of in advance! Although he lost to the penalty with Croatia , the World Cup trip of Japanese football has been glorious enough that no one regards Japanese football as the Asian level anymore.
You should know that Japanese football has been weak, but they have been following the laws of football development. Although Japanese football has not taken advantage of it, they have not taken detours. The reason why Japanese football has been eliminated from being miserably in the last session to becoming a recognized strong team this session is the hard truth for development!
The power of Japanese football comes from their "rules".Everyone knows that in Japanese companies, the one with the highest income is definitely the older one. As long as you work hard, no matter how capable you work, the one who works for a long time will be the one with the most rewards. So who will go to cheat? In Japanese food stores, we often see chefs, cashiers and bosses at grandparent levels. After asking, we found out that some stores have been open for nearly a hundred years, but they are still on the original site, selling the same goods.
Japanese football is the same. We cannot see their internal strife, we cannot see the fishing waters, we can see the insistence on passing and controlling the game. From a ten-year-old child to a sixty-year-old man, from a community team to a school team, and then to a national team. Year after year, work hard and follow the laws of development.
started from reversing neighbors in Asia, to the women's football team topped the World Cup championship, to the men's football team almost defeated Belgium in Russia, and then became famous Qatar . The trajectory of Japanese football has changed from inability to ability, and has become a record, and what remains unchanged is the process, and always abides by the rules of things! Therefore, the cross ball is defined and not out of bounds, which is the best compliment to people and things who are rules in doing things!

Korean team is the ordinary you and me, and you will win if you fight!
South Korea's team beat Portugal to celebrate passionately after the game
Brazil swept South Korea 4-1, and many people were excited that the Koreans were "sent home". Although many people don’t like the South Korean team, you have to admit that South Korea is second only to Japan and is the second choice for most people to advance to the World Cup round of 16. Why do you not like Korea and have such a high position on them? It’s just because of one word - fighting, because everyone believes that only by fighting can you win if you love fighting.
Everyone likes to create miracles, but many people may not like the miracles created by the Korean team because everyone thinks their style of play is "dirty". However, this does not deny that the South Korean team has created a miracle. The South Korean team does not have the outstanding skills of the Japanese team, nor does the tough body of the Iran team. However, they have always dared to confront and collide with any opponent, so they have entered the World Cup finals in Asia 10 times and have never been absent since the 1986 World Cup. Although the strength gap with world-class teams is visible to the naked eye, they have created the best results of Asian teams in the World Cup and entered the semi-finals.
Once upon a time, when talking to many friends about the Korean team, they would say that the Korean team must have many red and yellow cards in the game, because the Koreans' style of playing is "dirty" and "black feet". But in my opinion, the "dirty" style of play is another proof of South Korea's hard-working struggle. Looking back at the 16-to-8 game, facing the world's number one Brazilian national team, the South Korean team can be said to be a complete defeat, but in the face of the opponent's gorgeous offense, the Koreans are not willing to be a "background wall". When he was behind four goals in the first half, the South Korean team once besieged Brazil in the second half, and Bai Shenghao's world wave that shocked everyone outside the penalty area directly penetrated the Brazilian goal. This gold-like goal is the best reward for the Koreans' unremitting efforts.
In the last round of the group stage, facing the top strong team Portugal, the South Korean team can only qualify for victory. When they were behind in the opening, the team equalized the score at the fastest halftime. Son Heung-min and Hwang Heung-chan and Hwang Heung-chan made a pass and shot, defeating Portugal in stoppage time, miraculously winning the second place in the group to advance. Doesn’t this prove that the Koreans have never given up for promotion?
If it weren't for the Koreans' fighting spirit, miraculous promotion and miraculous world waves would not have appeared. So you can not like Korean style, or you can consider them shameless, but you cannot help but admire their physical fitness that can’t run to death and their courage to “kick to death”. Because the Korean team is like most ordinary people in the vast crowd, they don’t have so many gorgeous halos. If they don’t fight, they won’t create any miracles.
