Green Life

Cape Town is one of the three capitals of South Africa. You heard it right. South Africa is so headstrong. It has three capitals, the administrative capital (the seat of the central government) Pretoria, and the judicial capital (the seat of the Supreme Court) Bloemfontein. Cape Town, the legislative capital (seat of Parliament).

If you study geography and world history in school, you will also know that the famous Cape of Good Hope is there. Cape Town is located at the southernmost tip of the African continent, very close to Antarctica.

But Maqin knew that he was indeed due to this single-player game in the Age of Navigation, and Cape Town is a large city rarely marked in the south of Africa.

Many African cities are in Africa, but they have a European heart. This has a lot to do with the colonial history of Europe, and Cape Town is the same.

It looks like a European city, with neat and clean streets, Victorian churches, modern shopping centers and a colorful nightlife.

Oh my god, isn't this Hong Kong? Well, if you have been there, it feels right.

It’s just that a lot of African factors have been added to it, such as the ubiquitous African animals, the wild grasslands on the outskirts of cities, and the less reassuring public security around.

Fortunately, everything is fine in the city.

Mark Qin snapped a photo with his mobile phone, and a prosperous city by the sea was reflected in it, and accompanied by an explanation, "When I came to the famous Table Mountain, I will go to the Cape of Storms to see it, which is the Cape of Good Hope, Cape Town. This city is really modern. In addition, "HappyBirthdayToMyself" was posted on Instagram.

Today is his birthday, but apart from congratulations from the team and Isabella with him, he doesn't have much time to celebrate, but the Internet can be fried, and the number of responses in an instant broke the Ins record! Numerous "Happy Birthday" replied to his social media.

They only had two hours of activity time. After the plane arrived here early in the morning, Makqin met with Isabella who had arrived in advance, and went straight to the scenic spot. The Cape of Good Hope needed to be visited.

Cape of Storms is the name given to the famous Portuguese navigator Dias when he passed by in the 15th century, and was later changed to Cape of Good Hope by the King of Portugal.

It is full of European trade history in the great nautical era, because Cape Town used to be a transit point for Europeans to the Far East, and the Dutch and the British colonized it successively.

Before the opening of the Suez Canal, almost all ships going to and from Europe and Asia would pass through this place. Slaves, sailors, merchants and One Pieces from all over the world met here, and Cape Town was therefore known as the "Tavern of the Seven Oceans."

"Look, that is the Green Point Stadium, where we will play tonight, if we can reach the semi-finals, we may come back here," said the heavily armed Mark Qin, pointing to an artistic stadium in the distance. .

Isabella is also completely dressed up and can’t see who it is. Looking at the blue sky and the sea in the distance, she exclaimed, it’s so beautiful. The green dot is only a stone’s throw away from the sea. From a distance, it looks like a seashore. Pearl.

South Africa is completely different from what he imagined before coming. He really hopes to stay here longer, and even hopes to stay until the end, although from the poor modern football history of England, this kind of hope is very poor. Even the bookmaker's winning odds for them are far behind.

What about Rooney and Mark Qin? Which of the world's best teams is not star-studded? The key depends on the team's overall performance and historical inertia.

England has participated in the World Cup for more than 50 years. Except for the championship, it has only reached the semi-finals once. The other best results are the quarter-finals. There are also several group matches and the embarrassment of failing to qualify for the finals. Such a record. , It’s hard to convince bookmakers that they will explode this year.

In the first 2:2 tie with the United States, we have already told the world that England is still the only England. Just look at the stars like Mark Qin and Rooney!

...

"Gooooool... Donovan, he scored a lore goal. The U.S. team defeated Slovenia 3:2. England was under great pressure. They had to win against Algeria at night. Otherwise, after two rounds, They will be ranked third in the group and the qualifying situation will be precarious"

At noon, in the hotel conference room, a room of England players were sitting together to watch the first game of Group C. It was 2:2 in 90 minutes. As a result, Donovan finished the lore in 91 minutes!

In the current group, the US team has 1 win and 1 tie, Slovenia 1 win and 1 loss, ranking the top two, and the result of the England game at night will determine whether they will lose the initiative to qualify.

Capello got up from the front seat and turned to face them. The American players who were celebrating the carnival were still playing on the TV, and the atmosphere was solemn.

The most important thing here is that in the last game, the United States played against Algeria, which will greatly improve their chances of winning the top spot in the group, and the second team in the group will face the current top spot in Group D, the German team with two big victories. With the current state of the England team, it is no different from sending to death.

This is a situation they must try to avoid. They must try their best to fight weak opponents first and adjust their state and self-confidence. This is also Capello's plan.

"As you have seen, the competition for the top place in the group is very fierce. If we want to go further, it is best to avoid the German team which is in good shape now. It is not that I am not confident. This is our reality. So the next two What should be done in the field, you should know in your heart", he said solemnly.

Beckham also stood up and said solemnly: "Forget the interference off the court and focus on the arena. Prince William will also come to watch the game today. If we can't beat Algeria, then we might as well go home as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, we have unified our minds, and we must go all out for this game," Gerrard, as the captain, took the lead and stood up and said.

"Go all out," all the generals stood up and agreed.

But the determination to win does not mean underestimating the enemy, because Algeria is not well-known. Although it is relatively weak, it is not a big belly.

Maybe many fans have never heard of them, and even know that they are all because of the miraculous victory of Leicester City. There is a core in the team called Mahrez, he is an Algerian player.

But Algeria really can't be called a belly, because they also have a name called "French Second Team", yes, because most of their players are French players.

Many players have dual citizenships of France and Algeria, and French football is full of talents, all kinds of tall, in the case of not being recruited, they have no choice but to choose Algeria.

Counting the first round of Algeria's roster, 9 out of 11 people were naturalized from France. When they were the youth team, they also played for France, and when they came to the adult team, they came to Algeria.

Mark Qin had to sigh, it is better to colonize, at least in the sports world, how many stars in Europe and the United States are the offspring of colonization, they have made indelible contributions to the sports of these countries.

The time of their game was the same as last time. It was still 8:45 in the evening, and it was a bit cold. They finished their meal in the hotel in the afternoon and did some exercise in the gym. They still got familiar with the venue and warmed up 2 hours in advance.

"Mark, Mark, just say a few words." After getting off the bus, a large number of media surrounded them, and tried to extend the microphone to Mark Qin outside the isolation zone. Now I think my arm is not long enough.

On the other side, the fans entered the stadium. A large number of England fans were carrying national flags and painted on their faces. They stepped into the stadium shouting loudly, "England will win!", "Go, great England"

Mark Qin stopped for a moment and said into the microphone: "We must win, and we will definitely win!"

How could his World Cup dream fall at the feet of Algeria? That's not scientific!

The live broadcast covered the English generals who filed into the player’s channel. They walked directly to the dressing room, and Capello took Gerrard and the Algerian coach Saadan on the opposite side to the press conference and began to accept the pre-match Interview.

"This time England announced the starting lineup early, rather than just announced it 2 hours earlier like the first game. What is Capello's intentions?" Peterson asked McCain on the side.

"He should have accepted the player's suggestion. It is said that it was the result of his conversation with Gerrard. No surprises. Green and Ledleykin both lost their starters. Terry also sat on the bench," McCain said. "The first game exposed too many problems. Capello is still very courageous. The start of this game has changed so much. If it is not successful, there will be overwhelming doubts waiting for him."

"If you can't win this game, England is likely to go home early," Peterson added, "This is unacceptable in the whole of England, and the pressure on the players will be great. Then the key to this game, Mr. McCarthy. Think it's still Mark?"

"Of course" McCain nodded and said, "I can't believe this is his first time to participate in a World Cup competition. Mark's performance is one of the few players who perform normally in the first game. He looks relaxed. There is no restraint at all. When Rooney can't find the status for a long time, Mark's ability to break the door is our last insurance."

"I really look forward to him being able to reproduce the fantasy performance of last season", Peterson is also looking forward to it, "He may become England's Romario, Baggio, Ronaldo, and he is just 19 years old, but nothing Is impossible, especially for Mark"

"Moreover," McCain added, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com "Today is Mark’s birthday and Capello’s birthday. They both have birthdays on the same day. This is an incentive for the team. They all want to win. Come to congratulate the birthdays of the oldest and youngest members of the national team."

The Green Point Stadium, which can accommodate more than 70,000 people, has long been overcrowded, and Isabella also sat in the VIP stand early, "Happy birthday, dear, the Lord will bless you to win, and hope that I will be with you today every year. Spend together", amidst the noisy sound, that touch of silence was praying silently.

"Those things have belonged to the past. From today we stepped into the stadium, everything is new. We will definitely be able to get back to form and we won't disappoint the English fans!" Capello said loudly and powerfully at the press conference. .

Algerian coach Saadan also said not to be outdone: "England is very strong, but we are not without hope of winning. The entire Algerian people are watching us. This is Africa. We will never give up until the last minute. hope?"

"Mark? Everyone knows that he is the kind of top superstar. He passed and shot in the last game. It has proved how good he is. We will use 120% of our energy to limit him."

The stands of the stadium rang out loudly. Makeqin and his teammates walked out of the aisle and began to warm up. This is what the World Cup should have. He looked up and thought about it.

There are not many stadiums like Banfalken that can only accommodate more than 40,000 people. The number of English fans in this game is quite considerable, and it should be almost 20,000 people.

In this focus battle on the life and death of England, they used their best efforts to cheer for the team. Victory is the only way out!

God bless the queen, on the 18th stepping into the stadium, the style is fluttering...
