The group successfully qualified and avoided the host German team in the round of 16. The entire England national team was shrouded in a joyful atmosphere.

So, the previous photo shoot plan was put on the table again.

Rooney unswervingly chose to be naked, and followed by a group of naked parties;

Ferdinand insisted on women's clothing, and used force to coerce several poor kids to wear women's clothing together;

As the initiator, Vardy was in a dilemma.

The reason is very simple. Rooney wants to pull Vardy to shoot naked, threatening that if Vardy doesn't cooperate, he will stop shooting;

Ferdinand is even more ruthless, even the women's clothing is ready for Vardy...

Vardy was crying and she was just trying to take a normal photo, but now she is better, she has become a popular person!

Then the question is, even if you are willing to do your best and shameless, it is really a question whether you are naked or women's clothing.

For this issue, the English national team is about to be split. The topic among the players is not Ecuador, the opponent of the next game, but which one is more attractive, women's clothing or naked!

Vardy said he was helpless, what's the matter!

However, the FA's team officials quickly noticed the strange atmosphere inside the team and immediately decided to terminate the shooting plan.

I want to take photos and do charity, but I have to wait until after the World Cup is over!

Vardy finally let out a long sigh, and at least it could be delayed for a while!

Now he regrets the plan he proposed, and there are countless ways to do charity, and he insists on taking photos for Mao!

I really dug a hole and buried it in myself!

......

The World Cup group stages were all over, the top 16 rosters were newly released, and the next arena was confirmed.

In the round of 16, England's opponent is Ecuador, and among all the top 16 teams, the strength ranks the lowest.

Many people believe that before the game started, England had already entered the quarterfinals with one foot, as if it was a walk.

Although this may not be respectful to Ecuador, in fact, even Ecuadorian fans feel sad deep in their hearts.

However, if we can make it to the quarterfinals as we wish, then England's opponents will not be so easy to pass.

The opponent in the quarterfinals will be the winner between Portugal and the Netherlands, and these two teams are world-class powerhouses.

You know, England was defeated by Portugal in his previous life. Beckham ended up in the game due to injury, Rooney was sent off with a red card for stepping on someone, and finally he was eliminated from home in the penalty kick.

The inertia of history is huge. Even if Vardy's arrival improves England's ending ability, it is difficult to ensure that these things will not happen again.

If England can change history and defeat Portugal, then there will be two super strong teams in France and Brazil waiting for them in the next half of the year...

Only by passing the hurdles can England reach the finals and then face Italy, which will surely win.

Alas, why is this World Cup not as frequent upset as the previous one?

Recalling, in the 2002 World Cup, Germany and Brazil competed for the championship, and Türkiye and South Korea competed for the third place, the value was so low.

If you expand the range to the top 8, you will also need to add England, Spain, the United States and Senegal.

If this is the quarterfinals like this, then no one in England will be afraid!

Let’s look at the quarterfinals of the World Cup in the previous life. Except for Ukraine, which is a second-rate team, the rest are all world-class teams.

Well, the road to winning the championship is always difficult.

You can only keep making yourself stronger, but you can't always pray for meeting opponents who are weaker than you.

However, what made Vardy very happy was that the Asian teams in the World Cup top 16 were wiped out this time, and neither Japan nor Koba could make it to the top 16.

Thinking of this, Vardy felt that he should be grateful for the other way around. If it were the last World Cup, maybe England would be beaten if it met the stick!

Well, you have to eat rice one by one, and you can’t be too ambitious. Now the one in front of England is Ecuador, not the Hercules Cup.

How strong is this Ecuador team?

It can only be said to be average.

If it weren't for the other two teams in Group A who were too inferior in strength, it would probably not be their turn to enter the top 16.

In this Ecuadorian team, the only familiar thing Valdi is the future Manchester United player Valencia, who is the pure man who even fired his agent in order to show his loyalty to Manchester United.

If Vardy stayed at Manchester United, then according to historical inertia, the two will become teammates and even good friends!

Valdi likes pure people, and Valencia just happens to be a pure person.

Well, you can also consider cultivating him into a funny guy...

But now as an opponent, Vardy feels that he needs to teach him how to be a human being...

However, at the beginning of the game, Vardy knew that this game was going to be difficult!

Like many weak teams in their posture when facing strong teams, all Ecuador players retreated and gathered in their own half and even in the penalty area.

I'm poor, I admit it, but it's not that easy for you to score a goal!

I'm just a defensive counterattack, what can you do to me?

Even Ecuador only has defense to a certain extent and does not counterattack. It doesn’t matter whether he scores or not. The important thing is not to let England score goals.

This idea is a great idea!

A knockout match that determines the outcome, if the draw in 90 minutes, it will enter overtime. If there is no victory in overtime, it will only enter the cruel penalty shootout stage.

Strong teams naturally don’t want to have troubles, but for weak teams, penalty shootouts are always more hopeful than winning games in regular games.

So we can only drag the game to a penalty shootout, and Ecuador will be considered successful.

England is also helpless when facing his opponent's unenergized style of play!

If Vardy hates his opponent's style of play the most, it must be a defensive counterattack. In this situation, Vardy's lethality is less than half of his usual ability.

Vardy's most sharp offensive weapon is a quick counterattack. As long as there is room for sprinting, no one can stop him.

But now the opponent's defense line is like putting in dumplings. Not to mention the space for sprinting, it would be nice to have a space for him to walk on!

In this case, Rooney's performance is extremely important, but the fat guy can never find his best condition and it is difficult for him to frequently threaten the Ecuador goal.

Can you only rely on long shots from Gerald and Lampard to threaten your opponent?

As long as England can score a goal, the situation will improve immediately, but this goal is the key to determining the outcome of the game.

England doesn't want to drag the game to overtime, and even more so, they don't want to drag the penalty kick. You know, because they are a little despised by Ecuador, England didn't even practice penalty kicks before the game...

According to media reports, Ecuador has practiced penalties for at least two hours a day in recent days, and then it was released after comparison.

In addition, England's goalkeepers have always been synonymous with unreliable reasons. It is a bit difficult to count on them to save the penalty kick.

There is no way, the battle must be resolved in 90 minutes, and it will change later!

what to do?

With Beckham as a free kick expert, England is not afraid of the opponent's intensive defense. You should know that Beckham's free kick has had the experience of directly sending England into the World Cup, which can be regarded as one of England's killer weapons.

So, habitually, England began to make set pieces in dangerous areas to create opportunities for fans.

The opponent is not stupid. He knows that Beckham's free kick is powerful and he tries not to foul, but he can't stand England's unreasonableness!

With Vardy, a breakthrough expert, if you don’t foul, I will go in. Who will feel uncomfortable then?

In a short time, England won two excellent free kick opportunities in positions.

But I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been neglecting to exercise recently. Beckham’s free kicks were slightly higher than the crossbar and did not score directly.

In addition to the previous three group matches, Beckham hasn't scored a free kick for a long time.

Bei Bei was also very anxious. He knew that as the captain, he needed to stand up by himself in a stalemate situation, but he tried his best and even if he didn't score, he had no choice.

Suddenly, Xiao Bei saw Valdy not far away and felt a sense of emotion.

Since I am not in good condition in playing free kicks, why not let Vardy play?

He knew that Vardy had a very strong free kick skills, the Full Moon Scimitar was as sharp as himself, and he also knew how to play elevator balls and powerful free kicks, which was actually more threatening than himself.

However, the free kick is his own private place. Beckham would not give it up on his own initiative before, and no one would ask him to give it up. Even Vardy would not compete with him, and would not even mention it.

After controlling the free kick penalty power of the national team for so many years, he would give it up as soon as he said he would give it up. Where can Beckham put his face?

But no matter when, the team's interests are supreme. If you ignore the interests of the national team just because of face issues, then Beckham will be a sinner for the ages.

After thinking a little, Beckham pulled Valdy back and whispered in his ear: "I'll cover the free kick next time, you can take the penalty!"

Vardy was stunned and did not react at the first time.

Beckham asked himself to give a free kick?

Isn't this a joke?

Perhaps because he understood Vardy's doubts, Beckham smiled and said, "My free kick is not in very good shape today. This is the most important thing to win, so you can get the penalty, but don't think you will give it to you in the future. There is no such a good thing!"

Vardy then suddenly realized it, and then nodded heavily.

Leave it to me!

Vardy knew that he should stand up.

This is not a snatching up power, but a kind of inheritance!

So when England got a free kick opportunity, Vardy and Beckham stood in front of the ball.

The Ecuadorian players on the opposite side didn't care. What can you do if you stand in front of the ball? Can you still steal the free kick from Beckham?

The heartthrob Beckham's free kick is so popular that even everyone knows that Vardy is actually a master of free kicks, but in front of Beckham, you have to stand aside.

So, the Ecuadorian players' eyes are still focused on Beckham?

As for Vardy, he probably came to cover Beckham, right?
Chapter completed!
