Outside the wall

Wang Peter

The month just passed was the carnival season of the fans. The charm football on the green is endless. Outside the field, the topic continued as ever.While the heat is still hot, this column first puts other topics aside and let the World Cup insert a team.

First of all, Hexi Messi and Argentina.At the end of his career, the king king finally won the Hercules Cup for the third time for the motherland.Wonderful that the start of Argentina was actually embarrassed and lost to Saudi Arabia!

The Saudi probably does not know what is the Ah Q's spiritual victory, but at this moment, if you have to defeat the world championship in your sleep, I will not laugh at them.After all, it is a real and heart -up victory, and one of the largest unpopular doors in this year.This "one" must be emphasized that because of the continuous closure, it became a highlight of this event.

In the end of the Argentine laugh, the fifth champion Brazil was only sad this time.The group stage was defeated to Cameroon, and even if it contributed another unpopular. When the rematch was optimistic and leading, the Croatia KO was eventually broken, which really made many supporters break the heart of the glass.Hong Kong writer Ma Jiahui wrote the most sad audience to the Morning Post's supplement, which is the most affectionate.Who is his "the most sad audience"?Far more than 10,000 kilometers away from Qatar, in the old home, Lao Billy, who is about to come to the end, also knows that he can't wait for another four years.

In addition to Saudi Arabia and Cameroon, there are so many Davids killed in this World Cup.I am an Asianist who has not come. Therefore, I am particularly excited about winning Japanese and South Korea. After several orgasm, I was really a bit "overwhelming the west wind".

I also have a strong psychology. I saw the two non -traditional teams and entered the semi -finals. I believe that the old order should also be subverted, which is good.Helplessly seeing the true chapter, the level of strength and weakness is still bad, and he is careful to become a little regret.

But I still have to convince Croatia.The population is less than 4 million, and it is still decreasing. It actually enters the semi -finals three times. For the first time, you said that it was lucky. Two times maybe you can barely get it.Although this third place took a step back from the runner -up four years ago, the "strange" "strange" brothers in this class are really worthy of Bargan's father and fellow.

Morocco is also good. First, in the group, the first runner -up (Croatia) and the third place (Belgium) were launched in the group.A historic record of the African continent has been created. Although this achievement has been slower for 20 years.

Investment strategist Shenzhishu
One continuous test of three champions

Yes, this pillar of Asian "head incense" was inserted by South Korea as early as 2002.Tai Chi Tiger fell in front of the door of Poland, Portugal, Italy, and Spain that year. The only one was in the dispute to this day.The degree of "cooperation" is too high.I stared at the first World Cup in TV from the time of ignorance -the Netherlands in Germany (guess which year?) Until today, I forgot what the referees look like.The face of Hong Kong actor Qin Pei has not been worn.

Everyone has the right to speak for the World Cup, especially who weighs the most championship.I have always sneered at Paul The Octopus and various imitators. I will pay attention to some rational prediction models.The financial elite is best for this way, and some of them are analyzed.For example, a program of Bloomberg TV visited Joachim Klement, a strategist of British investment bank Liberum.His model was tested in the last two championship teams, obviously not playing tickets, or just like me.Before this year, he also made predictions.

He told the host that he mainly calculated the four groups of parameters: First, the climate, such as a place where you played the whole year, it is too cold or hot in summer; the second is the population base.Find the tip; the third is the level of development. For example, the higher the per capita GDP, the more resources to cultivate talents.

Of course, it is easy to refute.The Croatia mentioned earlier has a poor population.Then there are a lot of anti -evidence. Like the host, they asked: What do you think of India and China, their football has always been struggling and grades.

Clemente said that Indians played crickets and couldn't help it.But I am doubtful.During the group stage, I went to the buds to eat a live broadcast by a few nights, and there was a row of South Asian guests and friends in the back. They did not order food. They held 10 yuan a bottle of beer in their hands, and thenI look like me as interesting.Outside the fence, there are more free to watch the ball on the side of the road.Who said that South Asians are born with football?

As for China, he acknowledged that it was an outlier in the model, and he couldn't say why he couldn't say it.

Indeed, all conditions in China are available, and those who are not enough can also be used to make up for the country, but so far they only have the qualifications of the main race once, which is not comparable to 11 entry vouchers in South Korea.Then there were three defeats and three defeats, zero -score, so that the World Cup was 1.4 billion people, more like the "sadness" of the world.Why can't the "national football" can't turn around, always "Chen Xun can't do". It is a century mysteries.

By the way, Clemente this time accurately predicts that the cup will be Argentina.Three even in the middle, a hats!His only disappointment is that Messi's final opponent is England, and England is the crying party.

At this point, there may be readers who are writing the name of Joachim Klement. Thinking about this guy four years later, he may be busy.(Out of anti -gambling position, I have to insert public welfare advertisements for free: Gambling sea is floating, either drowning or drowning, hurry up ashore.)

The perspective is near Southeast Asia, where is our World Cup road?Whether this "cup" is doomed, the past and present will be humble "humble". Can you only accompany the periphery and warm up or send points to the middle -level strong team?

Let's talk about it more than 20 years ago, I have an adventure in Hanoi.One day, visited the famous landmark buildings in aimless land: Hanoi Grand Theater. At that time, the sun was hung in the afternoon.Seeing a group of children, he played football on the hot big road!These small street children are too crazy, and adults are used to it.At that time, intuition told me that about 10 or 15 years, Vietnam's football must rise.

Sure enough, Vietnam has made significant progress in recent years, and has performed quite well. It has climbed all the way in FIFA. Now it has reached 96th, the highest among Southeast Asian countries.

I just ideal is full, and the reality is very sensible.The next World Cup will be expanded to 48 teams, and Asian places will increase, but mathematically, it will double the capacity to reach 96 teams, and Vietnam will just come in!So down, this Southeast Asian boss can still be founded for brands such as Kiggi, Adidas, and label on the "Made in Vietnam" on the jersey sneakers to barely stain the edge of the World Cup, and other Southeast Asian countries, including us,It's even more difficult to get in the beginning.

Singapore ranking is still lower than Maldives

In fact, in the Saturday night, in addition to Croatia and Morocco, there was a game that many people didn't know: Singapore faced the Maldives.Because there are not many reports, I will make up a few strokes here and leave a record:

The location is Yulanbusha; more than 3,000 people watched the battle; Van Di's third Il Khan scored his first national team to score; in the end, the male lion won the game 3-1.

But don't think that Maldives is a "fisherman".This population is only more than 500,000. Many players go to play the islands with a long distance, and it is ranked 154 in FIFA, which is higher than our 160!No wonder the people of the country have stopped water. The great ambition to enter the World Cup that year has become a cloud of smoke, and no one will mention it.

The World Cup song has been scattered, but the noise has not stopped. Like the British tabloids and the sour people, they are still scolding today.Messi black robe has a cold ... In fact, it is not surprising. Billions of people in the entire Earth Village have poured passion. The World Cup is a matter of people.Is it Xia?

This is part of football supporting, is part of the game, and it is also a refraction of disturbance in the world.

High -tech VAR and more universal rules cannot be settled.

Where is the road of our World Cup?Whether this "cup" is doomed, the past and present will be humble "humble". Can you only accompany the periphery and warm up or send points to the middle -level strong team?Vietnam, the boss of Southeast Asia, still can only do foundry for brands such as Kiggi, Adidas, and labeled the "Made in Vietnam" on jersey sneakers to barely touch the edge of the World Cup.It's hard to get in the early days.
