In Pele's first World Cup, the Soviet Union, the opponent in the same group, had a great goalkeeper, Lev Yashin, and Britain was always the favourite to win the championship. Austria can only sigh that it is unlucky to be in such a group. Brazil and the Soviet Union joined hands to qualify, England stopped the group stage and Brazil finally won the championship. Group II: Argentina, former West Germany, Spain and Switzerland.
Germany, Argentina, Spain! These three teams are the first teams in this World Cup, but the first three teams were grouped in the same group in the 1966 World Cup. 1964 Spain, which won the European Cup, went home in the group match before Germany and Argentina, and Switzerland can only play the role of accompanying the prince to learn. West Germany finally reached the final and won the runner-up. Group III: Brazil, Czechoslovakia, England, Romania
Brazil and England, together with Czechoslovakia and Romania, two Eastern European powerhouses, won the championship in Brazil. England beat Romania to get the second place and entered the knockout stage. In the group match between Brazil and England, English goalkeeper Banks blocked Pele's inevitable header and became a classic scene. 1 Group: Argentina, France, Hungary, Italy
As the host of 1978, Argentina did not enjoy the good luck of the host. They are in the same group as France, Hungary and Italy. France included Platini, then current president of UEFA, but did not qualify for the group. Argentina and Italy qualified in the group together, and the host country Argentina finally won the championship. Group F: Egypt, England, Netherlands, Ireland
Holland, with three musketeers, England, with big-name stars such as gascoyne and Reinkel, and Egypt and Ireland, with good strength, were all in Group F in the Italian 1990 World Cup. However, although the top teams are all together, only Egypt was eliminated from the group, because the top four teams also qualified as the third place. England finally finished fourth, while the Dutch team, which barely finished third in the group stage, was eliminated by the final champion West Germany in the 1/8 final.
Group B: Argentina, Cameroon, Romania, Soviet Union
There are two death groups in the same World Cup, which only happened in Italy 1990 World Cup. Defending champion Argentina is in the same group as Cameroon, Soviet Union and Romania. Argentina unexpectedly lost to Cameroon in the opening match, but fortunately it finally qualified smoothly. Like Group F, this group also has three teams, Argentina, Cameroon and Romania. Group D: Italy, Mexico, Norway and Ireland
The last World Cup, in which 24 teams participated, was also the last World Cup in which three European teams were in the same group. Italy, Norway, Ireland and Mexico were in Group D. Italy, Mexico and Ireland successfully qualified. Italy finally reached the final and lost to Brazil on penalties. Group F: Argentina, England, Nigeria and Sweden
I believe many fans still remember batistuta's tears in 2002, because Argentina was eliminated from the World Cup group match in Korea and Japan. England and Sweden joined hands to qualify, and Nigeria also became a passer-by. Group C: Argentina, C? te d 'Ivoire, Serbia and Montenegro, Netherlands
People still remember the last World Cup. Two-time World Cup champion Argentina, uncrowned king Holland, African upstart C? te d 'Ivoire and Serbia are in the same group. Although C? te d 'Ivoire fought to the last minute, its strength was slightly inferior to that of Argentina and the Netherlands. Serbia and Montenegro is the least enterprising team in this World Cup, with Argentina and the Netherlands winning all three games.
Group E: Italy, Ghana, USA and Czech Republic. This is a group "deliberately" created by matthaeus, and it is even more "dead" than Group C-the Czech Republic and the United States were eliminated. Ghana's strength has improved rapidly in recent years, and it has continuously sent a large number of talents to European giants through the World Youth Championship. The most famous are Essien and Montari. Italy is a traditional giant, ranking 8 th in the selection points of the World Cup seed team, just crossing the line; America is not so lucky. After 2002, it developed rapidly, ranking ninth in this selection, only less than Italy 1 point, and missed the status of the seed team. What is even more frightening is the Czech Republic, the world's second-ranked Eastern European giant at that time, just because the comprehensive points (the points of the last two World Cups+the points of this qualifier+the world ranking) were not enough to be classified into the second gear, but even the overlord like Brazil did not want to meet the Czech Republic too early (reminiscent of the Czech horror in 2004)! ! ! Therefore, the teams 2, 8 and 9, together with the very powerful Ghana, constitute a veritable death group in this World Cup. The process also confirmed this title. The Czech Republic met the United States in the first round and was turned over by Ghana, Italy, which lost 0-2 in the first round after the war. At that time, it was considered a surprise. But think carefully about the media comments after the match between Italy and Ghana: "Italy shows the technical and tactical level of a team that won the championship", which means that Ghana is also strong, just because Italy is stronger. In the second round, the bloody battle between the United States and Italy with 9 players VS 10 ended with 1: 1, and all four teams still have hope of promotion. The final round: Italy stormed the Czech Republic and the United States fought Ghana. Finally, the Czech Republic and the United States died heroically, and Italy and Ghana were lucky to qualify! ! ! Group G: Brazil, North Korea, C? te d 'Ivoire, Portugal
The star-studded African elephants, European traditional teams, Portugal led by Cristiano Ronaldo, each of which is the most popular Brazil, plus a mysterious teacher North Korea who has not appeared for decades, constitute the death group of this World Cup. The first three teams are considered to be equal in strength and have the possibility of qualifying, while North Korea is considered to be the winner of the competition, but some people think that North Korea's strength is immeasurable. At first, North Korea narrowly beat Brazil by one point. People saw the spirit of the North Korean team, while Portugal in C? te d 'Ivoire was mediocre. Because of the first game, the North Koreans became arrogant, and they lost a big game with Portugal. On the other hand, Brazil beat C? te d 'Ivoire 3-/Kloc-0, and Kaka was sent off, which made him lose the chance to confront Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo. In the last game, C? te d 'Ivoire still had hope of qualifying, while North Korea was fighting for honor. In the end, Brazil and Portugal both advanced with a draw. C? te d 'Ivoire went out with hatred, and North Korea lost all three wars. The draw for the 20 14 World Cup in Brazil, which fans all over the world expected, was finally announced. Compared with the scattered teams in the last World Cup, the draw of this World Cup can be described as "incredible". You can see Spain VS Holland, England VS Italy, Germany VS Portugal in the group stage.
Group B: Spain, Netherlands, Chile and Australia
The "official" death group recognized by FIFA is Group B where Spain, Netherlands, Chile and Australia are located. There is a simple reason. South Africa's World Cup champion and runner-up are in the same group. In the end, the Netherlands took revenge and qualified with the Chilean group.
Group D: Uruguay, Costa Rica, England, Italy
Group D is recognized as the group of death, because there are three world champions Uruguay, England, Italy and one Costa Rica as the foil. Uruguayan has terrorist groups of Suarez, cavani and Fran, while English and Italian are not 100% sure that they can break through the group. This is reminiscent of this year's Champions League group match. Arsenal can't guarantee qualifying with a score of 12, just because Marseille scored 0. Dortmund and Naples both scored three points on him, which means that whoever makes a mistake on Costa Rica may mean being out. Of course, the direct confrontation between the three teams is also the key. It seems that Group D is really full of "death". The final result was unexpected, and Uruguay and Costa Rica joined hands to qualify.
Group G: Germany, Portugal, Ghana, USA
Theoretically, the death group is Group G, and Germany, Portugal, Ghana and the United States rank first in the world. As a result, Germany and the United States qualified.
