The group stage of the World Cup has officially come to an end, and there are also regrets for this World Cup, such as the Czech Republic and Poland all the way to the top 8, and the following is a list of the 4 most regrettable teams.
1. Turkey. They came close to beating the United States, but they missed four consecutive free throws in the final minute and were dragged into overtime by the United States. Not only that, but the defeat also seemed to take away the luck and spirit of Turkey, who lost to the Czech Republic in their last game and missed out on the round of 16.
As the first team to drag the United States to the last moment in the main draw of this World Cup, it is indeed a pity to miss the round of 16.
2. China. It can be said that the situation in China is similar to that of Turkey, of course, the level of the opponent is much worse. China was also just 12 seconds away from the victory over Poland, and the coach and players made several mistakes in the last minute, and finally were also dragged into extra time by Poland and unfortunately lost.
It's even more similar to how we lost our luck and luck in this game, losing to Venezuela and missing out on the round of 16, and we lost our Olympic ticket to Iran in the end, which is really unfortunate for us as hosts.
3. Brazil. In the group stage, they beat Greece to qualify as the top of the group, and they only need to beat the Czech Republic to secure a place in the last eight. However, they not only lost to the Czech Republic, but also lost 22 points, and finally lost to Greece and the Czech Republic in the comparison of goal difference, only finishing fourth in the group, unfortunately out.
It can be said that Brazil's performance has been very good, except for the defeat to the Czech Republic, and it was that game that left them out of the last eight.
4. Greece. If Brazil is to blame for missing out on the last eight, then Greece is even more unfortunate, and half of the reason for their exit has to be Brazil. It can be said that Greece only made one big mistake in this World Cup, that is, against Brazil, they missed a penalty at the last minute and lost to Brazil.
Coupled with the merger with the United States into Group K, Greece was directly forced to a dead end, they wanted Brazil to lose to the Czech Republic, but they didn't want Brazil to lose so much, losing 22 points at once, and finally Greece also went out of the tournament with a goal difference of 5 points.

In 2002, 0:8 Germany in the group stage;
In 2018, 0:5 Russia in the group stage;
In 2022, 2:1 Argentina in the group stage;
Saudi Arabia is a brave man, the unpopular is touching, and the goalkeeper is really amazing. This is the group stage of the 2022 World Cup, the biggest upset since the start of the tournament, and it is also a carnival for Saudi Arabia.
No 2, Japan vs Germany (first round of the group stage).
If the Asian team Saudi Arabia gave a surprise, then the second upset and surprise was the national carnival given by another Asian team, Japan. There are even a lot of jokes, and the joke of queuing up to jump off the building starts from this one.
No 3, Uruguay vs Ghana (third round of knockout of the group).
When fate cannot be controlled by oneself, all efforts may not necessarily bear fruit. 35-year-old Suarez, 35-year-old Cavani, 35-year-old Cáceres, and 36-year-old Muslera must all understand this truth - football is a beautiful sport, but the other side of the beauty has always been cruel helplessness.
It's still Uruguay vs. Ghana, or Ghana losing. But I laughed at Suarez 12 years ago, and 12 years later, I actually had tears in my eyes. ”
After the game, when teammates surrounded the referee and kept reasoning. Suarez didn't say a word, just sat on the unfamiliar bench. The boy who once rode the wind chased the dust, in the tears of loneliness, completed his last dance in the World Cup.
His World Cup story begins in Ghana and ends in Ghana. Like every imperfect heroic biography, the best ending seems to be to go back to the beginning.
If we can't say goodbye, remember our first meeting.
No 4, Belgium vs Croatia (third round of the group stage).
3rd place in the last World Cup v 2nd place, the result is deuced. Romelu Lukaku scored three goals and headed to the post, leading to Belgium's elimination. Belgium's ** generation, how many people can be present in the next session.
However, this year's Belgian elimination is also a matter of course, there is no unity in the team, Lukaku, De Bruyne, Hazard and so on are not in form.
No 5, Japan vs Spain (third round of the group).
Controversy ball, did Spain lose on purpose? To get into the other half? So Germany came home.
Of course, this edition of technology football has infinitely interfered with the process of the game and lost some of the human flavor of football itself.
Germany's win over Costa Rica, the female referee, is a classic moment in this group.

The biggest upset in the history of the World Cup was 1950 when the United States 1-0 England. At that time, the England team was a super strong team in the world, and the opponent American team was composed of pure amateur players, and the result was that the United States won England 1-0 in this game.
There are also World Cup upsets:
1966 Meng's group stage: Italy 0-1 North Korea.
It was another incredible upset in the history of the World Cup. Believing that they would not advance before the game, North Korea vacated their hotel room early. However, this group of mysterious divisions from East Asia managed to defeat the Italian team, the favorites to advance.
2018 group stage Germany 0-2 South Korea.
The incredibleness of this game is that South Korea need three points to secure qualification and a win of at least 2-0 to secure. Although the South Korean team is not out, there is actually no hope. However, a miracle happened, the defending champions not only did not play a 2-0, but also won a 2-0 by South Korea, who had previously lost 2 in a row.
2002 Group Stage: France 0-1 Senegal.
On the one hand, France, the double champion of the World Cup and the European Championship, which had the three golden boots of Serie A, the Premier League and Ligue 1 that year, and on the other hand, Sene, who participated in the World Cup for the first time, stared at Chungal, but the score was a 0-1 defeat for the French team, which was a big surprise.
Personally, I think Argentina is the team with the best hopes to win the title this year. >>>More
Villa and Fabiano are both strong players who can win the Ballon d'Or in this World Cup. >>>More
Uruguay reached the semi-finals, which is what seems to be the second time in 50 years that he has reached the semi-finals, when he faced Ghana and whoever reached the semi-finals was the biggest dark horse in this World Cup.
Dutch, Spanish bullfighters are specialized in bullfighting only.
It's not a tragedy, it's that the weak teams don't play against the strong teams now, they all play defense and counterattack, and many strong teams don't have the means to break the dense defense, only Brazil (Kaka's long shot, breakthrough, Robbie's breakthrough, Fabiano's high point, McCann's individual ability, Alves and Bastos's free kicks), Argentina (Messi, Aguero, Di Maria's breakthrough, Tevez's long-range shot, Higuain's breakthrough), the Netherlands (Sneijder's long-range shot, free kick, Robben's breakthrough, long-range shot) are experts in breaking dense defense.
