MoArriving at the Sko Luzhniki stadium, the first attraction is the waving Mexican fans in sombrero hats. with them. They also gave him a hat, which he later took back. June 17, 2018, match Germany vs Mexico. Mexico is not a big opponent for Germany, who arrive with the pride of being the defending champions. But that night Luzhniki was dumbfounded. Germany has been overthrown.
They beat Sweden in their next match, but lost 2-0 to South Korea in their final group match and Germany are out of the World Cup. Korea scored goals in four and six minutes of injury time to give Germany the advantage.
One thing was certain with that World Cup, exits in the first round are the bane of the reigning champions. Mannan’s shoulders moved. He happened in the third consecutive World Cup. Italy fell victim to that curse in 2010 and Spain in 2014. Italy did not win a single match at the World Cup in South Africa. In their last game they lost against Slovakia 3-2. Spain shocked in the first match of the World Cup in Brazil. They lost to the Netherlands 5-1. They also lost to Chile in their next match. They beat Australia in their last match, but were unsuccessful. The best ‘performance’ of the reigning champions in the last three World Cups has been that of Spain, third in the group!
This bad luck could hurt defending champions France as they prepare for their first match in Qatar this time around. Abscesses and lesions on the fungus. They can make eleven of those who are out injured. The last silver bullet was the sacking of Karim Benzema. Directors Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kante were out earlier. It can be calculated that France will easily reach the quarter-finals from the group that includes Australia, Denmark and Tunisia.
France are no strangers to first-round elimination. France, first world champion in 1998, succumbs miserably in the first round of the next World Cup. He got one point and failed to score a single goal. He scored one goal in 2010. Finished fourth in the group. At that time, there was no hard feelings against the current champion.
In 1966, Brazil rocked the football world. The team consisting of Pele and Garincha arrived in England to retain the world title. They beat Bulgaria 2-0 in their first match. Pele and Garincha became the first players to score in three consecutive World Cups. However, Pele could not play in the next match due to fouls from the Bulgarian players. 3-1 defeat against Hungary. Pele returned in the next game, but Brazil lost to Portugal.
This is the world stage. anything could happen. Expect surprises in the Arabian wonderland during the unpredictable World Cup.
