The Swedes were really panicked, and they couldn't bring Ibrahimovic back no matter what they did.
With 10 minutes left in the game, England not only equalized the score, but their attack was becoming more and more rhythmic!
Facts have proved that the curse of not being able to win against Sweden for 43 years is no match for Britney Spears' curse.
After England equalized the score, they quickly scored another goal.
The goal was scored by young player Welbeck, who received a brilliant pass from his teammate Walcott and scored England's third goal.
When the goal was scored, all the English people had a mysterious expression on their faces, as if to say "we knew it".
Congratulations to the romantic Walcott for being elected the best player of the match!
Ibrahimovic tried his best, because their coach was at a loss after the defeat against Ukraine in the last game. Sweden already had the problem that the other players couldn't keep up with Ibrahimovic's pace. Ibrahimovic often couldn't get the ball when he played as a striker, so the Swedish coach moved him back and made him play as a midfielder.
The same problem exists: there are players in the midfield, but the frontcourt is weak, and Sweden always lacks a chance to score.
The England team, which was the least favored team in this tournament, finally won!
The referee had just blew the whistle, and the English players on the field were overjoyed. They were covered in sweat, dirt and grass and were about to hug the big guy on the sidelines, but they didn't expect that the big guy reacted quickly and hid in the stands early.
Fans create emoticons in real time:
[Sweetheart: Don’t touch me! .jpg】
[Sweetheart: It’s so dirty! .jpg】
【Xiao Tiantian: dislike.jpg】
In fact, Alvin was afraid that his teammates would be too excited and give him a kiss, and he would have trouble explaining to his wife when he got home. (￣_￣ )
England also won the third group match.
This temporarily assembled team actually achieved two wins and one draw, and advanced as the group leader.
In second place was France, which had suffered from internal strife, while Ukraine and Sweden were eliminated.
Ibrahimovic was quite open-minded about this. The failures in the first two games doomed them to elimination, so they fought a desperate battle in the third game. Unexpectedly, they beat France 2-0.
After France was beaten to the ground by Sweden, internal strife began. No one wanted to continue, but unexpectedly, the three cats team was powerful and defeated Ukraine, helping France advance.
Benzema, who was ready to fight with his teammates, took the blame: "..."
So, in the qualifying round, England met the second place in the adjacent group, Italy.
Speaking of which, Italy and Spain are really a pair of good friends. Italy was able to advance thanks to Spain, which was in the same group, winning against Croatia in the third game.
By rounding it off like this, Benzema and Xiao Tiantian are also good friends~
Luo Xiaoxiao's European Cup journey was not smooth. In the match against Denmark, he was not in good shape and was sarcastically called Messi's name by Danish fans.
Ivan was in the stands at the time. Little Chris didn't understand Messi's name, but his intuition told him that it was not a friendly meaning, and his little face became stern.
Ivan had no expression on his face. The Portuguese players off the field were being ruthlessly humiliated by tens of thousands of people, and the English players on the field had cold eyes.
Because of the World Cup, Portuguese fans all have a good impression of Ivan. When they saw Ivan's bad expression, they became even more indignant.
If you can't beat the opponent, you humiliate the main striker. That's too much!
The camera turned over and originally wanted to give Alvin a close-up, but the scene in the camera made many people want to laugh.
Alvin and his three children, one big and three small, all had stern faces and looked particularly united and imposing.
The fans couldn't think of anything to describe that scene, and later someone invented a very appropriate word - president's face.
Family! They are definitely a family!
Otherwise you can't explain this family photo that is so dazzling! If there is a fake president, it will be perfect!
The Italians were excited. They had just advanced to the next round and now they were facing England. Their lost little angel would not play against them and they could still see him on the sidelines!
Joe Hart exploded in this game. He saved the ball 36 times in the whole 120 minutes and kept the opponent scoreless. Italy, which should have been good at defense, played an all-out attack and defense under the command of the coach who advocated offense.
The three cats are united as one, and we will defend it no matter how ugly the situation is!
People who don't know the truth might think that England's playing scene was so ugly that Italy had to play 433.
120 minutes have passed and it's time for England fans to cry.
Their team tied with Italy, which had Pirlo, Buffon and Balotelli, in the first 120 minutes and the game went into a penalty shootout.
This is certainly commendable, but... you are being too defensive! Don’t you know how good your penalty kick skills are? If it weren’t for Britney Spears in the World Cup, their record of winning by penalties wouldn’t have been created till now!
Since it was a penalty kick, there was no choice but to watch it.
Ivan was just walking up to hug everyone when he wasn't paying attention and a man who was walking without looking at the road bumped into him from behind.
When Alvin turned around, he saw that the person who bumped into him seemed to be in a trance, in a mysterious state as if he was about to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal.
—— Italy’s young player Balotelli has a muscular body and dark skin. His hairstyle is even more Neymar’s than Neymar’s, with only a thinner hair left on his head.
It was almost time for the penalty kick and the coach had chosen Balotelli to take the first kick. He was immersed in his own world and unexpectedly bumped into someone.
Balotelli hadn't walked out yet after bumping into someone. He had an expression that said "Brother, you're disturbing my thoughts about life." He glared at Ivan, turned a corner and left.
Ivan: “…”
Joe Hart ran to Ivan and whispered, "He and I are on the same team! He knows me very well, and I know him very well too!"
Ivan said in a very blunt way: "It's time to test whether you know him better or he knows you better."
Joe Hart: “…”
As goalkeepers, it is polite to hug each other. Buffon just came over and hugged the younger Hart, but then he found that the guy who shot him in the face was also there? Just hug me without any explanation.
Hart was still a little nervous, and the head coach and his team were taking the time to teach him the characteristics of the opposing player who was most likely to take a penalty. Buffon did not try to understand the opponent before the battle. He even had the mood to go back to the locker room to change clothes.
You guys just kick a few times and I'll block a few times and that's it. Why are there so many unnecessary procedures!
Facts have proved that Buffon's terrifying ability is fully reflected in the fact that he is basically never wrong in saving penalties.
Italy was the first team to play. Balotelli walked towards Joe Hart with a weird smile on his face, while Hart was thinking "WTF?". He backed away but still had to put on a forced smile to show that he was not afraid.
Heaven and earth are so spiritual~ Little sweetheart~You are the most spiritual~
With such belief, Hart touched the whistle on his chest, he! Got in the right direction!
“…”
Don't panic, Xiao Tiantian is still smart. At least the second ball kicked by the Italian player was saved by Hart.
Oh shit! England fans see hope, awesome! This means that they will eliminate Italy and advance to the next round under the watchful eyes of Xiao Tiantian!
Under the gaze of Xiao Tiantian, the fans successfully experienced what it means to be——
You never know how bad your teammates are.
When Hart jumped out, he thought he could save the world, but he soon found out that it was not the case.
The two guys named Ashley on their team were confused during the penalty kick! One hit the crossbar and the other was caught by Buffon!
On the contrary, the Italians who conceded the first goal were particularly stable. After Pirlo scored a penalty kick, he waved to Ivan.
England fans are about to cry, it’s a penalty! If Alvin was on the court, the kick that determined the team's morale would definitely be his!
Irwin was standing on the sidelines, still with his arms crossed. He looked calmer than coach Hodgson. It was not until Ashley Cole missed the penalty that he took a few steps on the spot.
His expression did not change, and the fans could tell what he was thinking from his actions.
What the hell are you kicking! Go away! Let Ben Tiantian come! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
The referee couldn't help but roll up his sleeves. You English people really deserve to be beaten!
England still lost in the penalty shootout. After the game, the media and fans, for the first time ever, did not make trouble for the two players who missed the penalties.
Of course, it’s not that they didn’t find the reason, but the reason they found was a bit ridiculous.
England didn't win on penalties?
Because Alvin didn’t go up to kick!
Such a far-fetched reason was actually accepted by the majority of the English people, and even the winner Italy thought so.
#Xiao Tiantian, a man who is no longer in the underworld but still has his legend.
Overall, England performed very well, and Irving went to watch the Portuguese game. They hadn't seen each other since two months before the start of the European Cup.
The next time I saw Luo Xiaoxiao's game was in the semi-finals. Portugal, Spain and Italy advanced to the semi-finals. The semi-finals was a battle on the Iberian Peninsula. One of Spain and Portugal would get a ticket to the finals.
Alvin had just watched his team's penalty kick in the last game. He didn't expect that in this game, there would be no goal for 120 minutes and a penalty kick was taken at the end.
The coaches of both teams were talking about the key points in an intensive manner. When the players were gathered together, only Portugal's No. 7 seemed a little absent-minded.
He was the fifth one to appear. To be honest, at that stage, he was under a lot of pressure, and the so-called skills became a foil.
Penalty kicks are all about mentality.
Buffon returned to the locker room before saving the penalty. Luo Xiaoxiao didn't return, so he just stood there with his hands on his hips in a daze.
He was facing Ivan, and his eyes were filled with hope, as could be seen on the big screen. Even from a fairly far distance, even without looking at the big screen, Ivan could feel his desire to win the European Cup.
The little princess in his arms couldn't understand the feeling of a penalty kick. She was just excited when she saw Luo Xiaoxiao on the big screen.
She turned her head and stretched out her hand, hung it around Ivan's neck, and made a coquettish sound: "Aiya~"
Dad, what are those uncles doing together? Are they playing games?
Aiwen is usually quite serious, but he can't hold back when the little princess starts to act coquettishly. He never hesitates to smile when he is with his daughter.
Little Chris was originally whining as he sat with his brother who was even more obedient than him, but when he saw the dimples on Ivan's face he couldn't help himself, he ran over, hugged Ivan's thighs and climbed on top of him.
Nest! Little Chris's!
He hummed and stopped pushing his sister. Since you can often make the sweet Wo Wo appear, this president will not bother with you~
Little Alvin saw the two of them hanging on their daddy and thought they were playing some game. He thought about it for a while like a little adult, then also grabbed Alvin's waist and climbed up.
When the camera came over, we saw three "koalas" hanging on Ivan's body, and he was almost submerged.
Emmmm, in such a solemn and tense occasion, Xiao Tiantian actually played human mountain building with his three children? !
While being interrupted by the three naughty kids, Ivan sat one in front of him, holding one in each arm, and finally calmed them down. They watched the penalty kick quietly together. On the field, the first person to take the free throw had already gone up.
Facing Spain in its heyday, Portugal, which was able to tie them, was slightly inferior in strength and experience in the final penalty kick.
Alonso was the first penalty taker of the Spanish team. It was his 100th game for the national team. He went up and scored easily.
On the other hand, in Portugal, except for Pepe, everyone else seemed very nervous.
Ramos went up and said that he also wanted to emulate his buddy Ivan. I heard that Pirlo scored a penalty in the last game? Sese wants one too!
Sese would not argue with his friend about the red card. He has received too many red cards, and he is determined to challenge his friend's authority again when he meets Ivan next time!
He kicked the ball out with a spoon, and it was so easy. After the kick, he waved to the stands like Pirlo.
Before challenging your authority, I will collect some interest first.
Luo Xiaoxiao was originally the fifth one, but he had no chance.
Although their goalkeeper saved one shot, the Spanish goalkeeper on the opposite side - his club teammate Casillas was no scapegoat. Casillas' father said that he was not afraid of these forwards, he was not afraid of any forward present!
He has every reason to be so confident because the striker he is afraid of no longer plays football!
Portugal was completely in a passive situation. When the fourth person to take the free throw stepped up, Luo Xiaoxiao was still praying, but his teammate missed the penalty.
A missed penalty means the fifth person doesn't need to take the penalty.
This means that there is no chance for the Portuguese captain to save the team.
The entire Spanish team hugged each other excitedly, in sharp contrast to the dejected figures of the Portuguese players who also tried their best.
The helpless and sad look of their captain was projected in front of fans all over the world. He was very uncomfortable, but he was no longer the helpless young man six years ago who would throw himself into the arms of captain Figo and cry.
He shook his head and muttered something. Alvin held the little princess in his arms with a calm look.
The little princess seemed to sense the bad atmosphere, and she subconsciously grabbed the corner of Ivan's clothes.
