Chapter 178 World Cup Final
While Brazil was enthusiastically looking forward to the World Cup championship, their football hero Pele stood up and poured cold water on them. He said that the Brazilian team would win the final and they would fulfill their dream of winning the championship at home.
As soon as the god Bailey spoke, all the Brazilians were about to cry. You should know that Bailey's prediction history is a history of blood and tears. Every time he is optimistic about the team, without exception, it ends in tragedy. This World Cup was at the strong request of national fans. He finally didn't make any prediction before the start of the game, but he didn't expect that now that the Brazilian team has reached the finals, his old man is still proud. He fell in love and made his most important prediction.
It is estimated that Mr. Bailey also saw that there is only one game left. His prediction success rate must be 50%, so the probability of prediction success is relatively high. Maybe he will succeed this time? In addition, he really hopes that the Brazilian team can realize his dream of winning the championship.
Pele is indeed a patriotic enthusiasm, but his eager expectation has put a heavy psychological pressure on the players of the Brazilian team. There is nothing he can do. The past prediction record of this god is indeed too brilliant. After Bailey's prediction came out, the major gambling companies immediately lowered the odds of the Brazilian team's championship by several points. Mr. Bailey is proud enough to have such an impact in just one sentence.
On July 12, the three or four finals of this World Cup were held first. In this chicken-like game, both Croatia and England could not cheer up. In the end, England defeated Croatia 1-0 and won the third place in this World Cup.
On July 13, the high-profile 2014 World Cup final began at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. A few hours before the start of the game, the stadium was already full. 80,000 fans sat it full, and the VIP seats were also full of VIPs from all over the world. Lin Fenglei still declined the invitation to sit in the VIP seat and sat with a group of ordinary fans from Switzerland.
Maracanã Stadium is a legendary football stadium. This stadium was built for the 1950 World Cup. It once held the final of the 1950 World Cup, and now it hosts the final of the 2014 World Cup. The experience of hosting the two World Cup finals makes it famous.
When the capacity of the Maracanã Stadium is the largest, it can accommodate 205,000 people to watch the game at the same time, including 155,000 seats and 50,000 standing seats. It is the largest stadium in the world and a masterpiece in the history of world football. However, Brazilians did not expect that their hard-working masterpieces would make wedding clothes for others. In the 1950 World Cup final, Brazil, as a big hit, was reversed by Uruguay 2:1 and missed the domestic World Cup championship.
After that game, four Brazilian fans died suddenly on the spot, and some fans shot themselves. More than 10 Brazilian fans committed suicide after the game, which enveloped the whole of Brazil with sadness. From this, it can also be seen that Brazilian fans' enthusiasm for football.
Since then, Brazil has never held the World Cup. Until now, the Brazilian team has finally entered the World Cup finals at home, and they have the opportunity to realize their dream of winning the championship.
The current Maracana Stadium can only accommodate 80,000 fans. Because of FIFA's mandatory requirements, all venues for the 2014 World Cup finals must fully ensure the safety of fans. This once amazing stadium has shruns more than 50% of its previous capacity.
Nevertheless, the renovated Maracanã Stadium is still a magnificent building and a masterpiece in stadiums around the world.

The combination of Erdi York.
Less than ten minutes after the start of the game, the Brazilian team sent a direct pass after Lucas Jr. broke through to the front of the penalty area with the ball at high speed in the middle. Neymar broke into the penalty area to catch the ball and formed a single knife. Facing the attacking Benaglio, he calmly pushed the far corner and scored the first record for the Brazilian team.
In the 34th minute of the first half, Kaka suddenly shot after taking the ball to the front of the penalty area at high speed in a counterattack. The ball rushed straight into the far corner of the goal. Benaglio had nothing to do with this extremely unruly shot. He could only watch the ball roll into the net, and the score on the court became 2-0.
At this time, the Maracanã Stadium has become an ocean of joy. Such a smooth start made all Brazilian fans at the scene rejoice that the championship was already in the pocket of the Brazilian team. Bailey in the VIP seat also smiled and applauded Kaka's goal. He must also think that his prediction this time will be correct.
Unexpectedly, the Swiss team, which fell behind by 0:2, seemed to suddenly wake up, and Egman, who was mediocre in the first 34 minutes, also began his performance.
In the 41st minute of the game, Ivanovic stole little Lucas with the ball in the backcourt, and then directly gave a long pass to Horensten on the right. Horensten carried the ball to the bottom at high speed, and then started to pass, and Egman hit Tiago, who was watching him. Silva jumped high and rushed to the top with his iconic header to win back a point for Switzerland.
Silva, who defended Egman, has done his best. He is almost pulling and pulling to defend the opponent, but there is still nothing he can do about this stronger and stronger old opponent. He can only cross his waist and helplessly look at Egman's back running to the side of the field to celebrate.
The whole Swiss fans cheered. This goal not only broke Fontaine's single World Cup goal record, but also kept the Swiss team's hope of equalizing or even overtaking.
Neither side scored in the first half of the game, and the two teams entered the locker room with a score of 2:1. After 15 minutes of halftime, the two teams changed sides and fought again. The Brazilian team attacked with all its strength and tried to expand the score again, while the Swiss team was not conservative. They still wanted to equalize the score. The two teams played a fierce and wonderful offensive battle, which made fans all over the world enjoy watching.
In the 56th minute, Ivanovic transferred the ball in the back court and handed the ball to Barnett on the left. Barnett took the ball to the front court and knocked the ball to Shaqiri in the middle. Shaqiri did not stop the ball and passed it directly. The ball crossed the whole back line of the Brazilian team. Egman got this Passing the ball, and then shooting directly, the ball crossed the top of Cesar's head and got into the back corner of the goal.
The Brazilian fans in the audience suddenly died. At this time, they remembered Bailey's prediction before the game. They couldn't help turning their heads and looking at Bailey in the VIP seat together. Bailey still had a smile on his face, but at this time his smile was a little embarrassed. Obviously, he also knew himself. The prediction is a little unreliable. I don't know if he regrets his prediction.
What are you afraid of? After only three minutes, Egman scored again. This time, he retreated to the midfield to get the ball, and then three people went to the front of the penalty area and shot angrily. He hit a world wave. The ball got into the upper left corner of the goal like a cannonball. This is a theoretical dead corner. Cesar didn't even have time to react. He just turned his head and stared at the ball into the net.
This is Egman's hat-trick in this game and the 16th goal he scored in this game. He not only broke Fontaine's record for the most goals in a single session, but also broke Ronaldo's record for the total number of goals in the World Cup. All the Swiss fans at the scene stood up and applauded Egman's incredible achievements. Neutral fans and guests in the VIP seat also stood up and sent warm applause to Egman.
