Who can tell me what the World Cup is like?

From 193 to now, the World Cup has gone through 76 years of history, during which many amazing laws have been left, and some superstitious people even call them "curses". Here, we list some of the strangest curses in the history of the World Cup and see what impact they can bring to this year's competition. 1. Brazil's Gift This is one of the most famous curses in the history of the World Cup. Its rule is that as long as Brazil is the champion, the next champion will be the host of the competition unless Brazil takes back the gift itself. In 1962, Brazil won the championship, and four years later, England dominated. In 197, Brazil won three gold cups, and in 1974, it was the turn of the host West Germany to win the cup. Brazil won the championship in the United States in 1994, and France won the World Cup for the first time at home in 1998. The only exception is that in 1958, Brazil won the championship in Sweden. Four years later, they did not give this gift, but took it back by themselves. According to this rule, it seems that there are only two possibilities to win the championship in 26, either Germany will be the champion at home or Brazil will keep the championship itself. The "gift from Brazil" is the most magical spell so far in the World Cup. Second, Germany's 16-year reincarnation and 29-year-old core Although the team's strength is not good, the Germans still have the hope of winning the cup, first, the local benefits, and second, with the help of some psychological hints. "16-year reincarnation and 29-year-old core" is the hope of the Germans. In 1974, West Germany won the championship, and beckenbauer, the core of the team, was 29 years old that year; After a lapse of 16 years, in 199, matthaeus, 29, led West Germany to win the Cup again. In 26, Barak, 29, became the new core, and it was just 16 years since Germany won the Cup last time. Third, the champion and the Asian team are in the same group. In the past 2 years, there has been another coincidence phenomenon. In the group stage, all previous champions will be in the same group with a team from the Asian plate. In 1986, Diego Maradona defeated South Korea 3-1. In 199, West Germany swept the United Arab Emirates 5-1. In 1998, France scored four goals against Saudi Arabia. In 22, Brazil also defeated China with four goals. From the results, meeting Asian teams in the group stage is helpful for strong teams to find their status and confidence. The only "exception" was 1994, but in that year, Russia, which was in the same group as Brazil, 7% of its territory was within Asia. Fourth, the winner of the final goal in 199 became the watershed of the previous World Cup finals. In the previous 13 championship and runner-up finals, both teams were able to score goals, but since the summer of 199 in Italy, at least one team will score in the final, which means that the team that scored in the final will win the championship in the end, and this rule has continued for 16 years. In 199, West Germany beat Argentina 1- with Bremer's penalty. In 1998, France beat Brazil 3-, which made the biggest score loss in the history of the Samba World Cup. In 22, Ronaldo scored two goals and Brazil won the cup with Germany 2-. Only in 1994, Brazil and Italy both maintained goals, and finally decided the outcome through penalty kicks. V. Italy's AC Milan Curse Since the summer of Italy in 199, no team has been able to beat Italy in 9 minutes in the knockout stage. This phenomenon has continued for 16 years. In 199, Italy lost to Argentina on penalty in the semi-final. In 1994, they reached the final and lost to Brazil on penalty. In 1998, Italy fell to the penalty spot and lost to the host country France. In 22, they lost to South Korea in extra time in a game that caused controversy among referees. If you want to beat Italy in the knockout stage, it seems to be an invincible rule to drag them into the penalty shootout. In the history of the World Cup, the Italian team will lose every penalty shootout, and so far there is no exception. Moreover, in the last three penalty shootouts, there is a coincidence: the first Italian team to miss a penalty was all players from AC Milan. In 199, Donadoni's half-high ball was confiscated by goyechea. In 1994, baresi shot the penalty into the sky. In 1998, it was albertini's turn to miss the first shot ... VI. Differences between the Mainland Another well-known coincidence in the history of the World Cup is that few teams can. In the previous 17 World Cups, except in 1958 and 22, all the champion teams came from the mainland to which their countries belonged, which has become a "law". In contrast, European teams seem to have a particularly high demand for geographical location, and they can't do anything outside Europe. South American teams seem to have little dependence on the region, but only for Brazil, Argentina's two cups were won in the American continent. Seven, the European Golden Globe Award Since the selection of the European Footballer of the Year began in 1956, a coincidental phenomenon has continued to this day. Any winner of the European Golden Globe Award this year, his team can't win the next World Cup. The details are as follows: Stifano in Spain in 1957, Sivori in Italy in 1961, Eusébio in Portugal in 1965, Rivera in Italy in 1969, cruyff in the Netherlands in 1973, simonson in Denmark in 1977, rummenigge in West Germany in 1981, Platini in France in 1985, Basten in the Netherlands in 1989, Baggio in Italy in 1993, Ronaldo in 1997, In 21, Owen, England ... It is also worth noting that, except Spain and Denmark were absent in 1958 and Platini lost to the final runner-up West Germany in the French semi-final in 1986, all countries that beat the team of European Footballer of the Year in the World Cup knockout can win the final championship. For example, Eusébio lost to England in the Portuguese semi-final in 1966, to Brazil in the Italian final in 197, to West Germany in the Dutch final in 1974, to Italy in the West Germany final in 1982, to West Germany in the Dutch quarter-final in 199, to France in 1998 and to Brazil in the quarter-final in 22. In 25, Ronaldinho won the European Footballer of the Year, and this spell seems to be quietly aimed at Brazil. Eight, Confederations Cup and America's Cup As long as you win the Confederations Cup or America's Cup before the World Cup, then you don't want to win the championship. The hit rate of this law is still 1%. The Fahd King's Cup, the predecessor of the Confederations Cup in 1992, was won by Argentina. As a result, they were eliminated in the first round of the second stage in 1994. Brazil, the champion of the Confederations Cup in 1997, and France, the champion in 21, failed to escape the shadow of this spell. You can't have both the America's Cup and the World Cup. No one can break this rule since 193. The earliest example is that Argentina won the America's Cup in 1929, and they lost to Uruguay in the final of the first World Cup the following year. The most recent example is that Colombia won the America's Cup at home in 21, and they didn't even enter the finals in 22. It is worth noting that Brazil won the World Cup three times from 1958 to 197. During these 12 years, they were always insulated from the Copa America. Did they realize the terrible power of this spell? In 24, Brazil beat Argentina to win the Copa America. In Germany in 26, can they get rid of fate? IX. The Shadow of Sponsors In today's increasingly developed commercialization, in addition to strength and luck, it seems that there are some off-site factors that determine the final result. Careful fans can pay attention to such a phenomenon. Since the World Cup in 199, the World Cup held in Europe has always been won by the team sponsored by Clover Company. In 199, West Germany beat Argentina by penalty, and the two red cards and a penalty in the final were controversial. In 1998, France beat Brazil 3-, and Ronaldo's bizarre injury in the final became a mystery. The jerseys of these two European teams are marked by the sponsor "Clover". However, in the World Cup held outside Europe, the control of Clover Company seems to have declined, which may be related to Europe being their main site. In the 1994 and 22 World Cups, Brazil won the championship twice. At that time, they wore the jerseys of "Four Corners Company" and "Hook Company" respectively. Don't underestimate the power of Clover Company in Europe. Germany, the champion of European Championship in 1996, France in 2 and Greece in 24 are all sponsored by them. This World Cup is held in Germany, the headquarters of Clover Company. According to this concern, it seems that it is difficult for the final champion to leave the teams with Clover printed on their jerseys in Germany, France, Argentina and Spain.
