From 1930 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 it a "curse". 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. A gift from Brazil. 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 is the host of the competition, unless Brazil takes back the gift itself. 1962 Brazil won the championship, and four years later England dominated. Brazil 1970 won three gold cups, and 1974 it was the turn of the host country, West Germany, to win the cup. Brazil won the championship in the United States from 65438 to 0994, and France won the World Cup for the first time at home in 1998. The only exception is 1958, where Brazil won the championship in Sweden. Four years later, they didn't send 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 2006, either Germany wins the championship at home or Brazil defends itself. "Gift from Brazil" is the most magical spell of the World Cup so far. Second, Germany 16 reincarnation and the 29-year-old core Although the team's strength is not good, the Germans still have hope of winning the cup, one is local interests, and the other is some psychological hints. "16 reincarnation 29-year-old core" is the hope of the Germans. 1974, West Germany won the championship, when the team core beckenbauer was 29 years old; 16 years later, 1990, 29-year-old matthaeus led west Germany to win the cup again. In 2006, 29-year-old Barak became the new core, which happened to be 16 years since Germany won the cup last time. Third, the champion is in the same group as the Asian team. In the past 20 years, there has been another coincidence phenomenon. In the group stage, all previous champions will be in the same group as a team in the Asian plate. 1986, Argentina led by Diego Diego Maradona defeated South Korea 3- 1, 1990, West Germany 5- 1 swept the United Arab Emirates, 1998, France scored four goals in Saudi Arabia, and Brazil also defeated China with four goals in 2002. Judging from the results, meeting Asian teams in the group stage will help the strong teams find their state and confidence. The only "exception" was 1994, but in that year, 70% of Russia, which was in the same group as Brazil, was in Asia. Fourth, the winner of the final goal was 1990, which became a watershed in previous World Cup finals. In the previous 13 runner-up final, both teams scored goals, but from Italy in the summer of 1990, at least one team scored 0 points in the final, which means that the team that scored in the final will eventually win the championship, and this rule continued to 16. 1990, West Germany beat Argentina with Bremer's penalty 1-0, 1998, France beat Brazil 3-0, which made Samba lose the biggest score in the history of the World Cup. In 2002, Ronaldo scored twice and Brazil beat Germany 2-0. Only in 1994, Brazil and Italy kept 0 goals, and finally the winner was decided by penalty. V. Italy's AC Milan Magic Since the summer of 1990 in Italy, no team has been able to beat Italy within 90 minutes of the knockout. This phenomenon lasted for 16 years. 1990 Italy lost to Argentina on penalties in the semi-final, 1994 they lost to Brazil on penalties in the final, 1998 Italy lost to host France on penalties, and in 2002 it lost to South Korea in overtime in a game that caused controversy among referees. If you want to beat Italy in the knockout stage, dragging them into the penalty shootout seems to be an invincible rule. In the history of the World Cup, the Italian team will lose every penalty shootout, and there is no exception so far. And in the last three penalty shootouts, there is a coincidence: the Italian team that missed the penalty for the first time was all AC Milan players. 1990, Donadoni's half ball was confiscated by goyechea, 1994, baresi shot the penalty into the sky, 1998, it was albertini's turn to miss the first ball ... In the previous 17 World Cup, except 1958 and 2008. In contrast, European teams seem to have a high demand for geographical location and can't do anything outside Europe. South American teams seem to have little dependence on the region, but for Brazil, Argentina won the two cups in the American continent. Seven, the European Golden Globe Award began in 1956, and a coincidence has continued to this day. Any European Golden Globe winner, his team can't win the next World Cup. The details are as follows: Spain's Stifano,1957; Sivoli, Italy,191; Sebbio, Portugal,1969; Rivera, Italy,1973; Cruyff, Netherlands,1977; Simonson, 6544. 1985 Platini, France, 1989 Basten, Netherlands, 1993 Baggio, Italy, 1997 Ronaldo, 200 1 Owen, England .. It is also worth noting that in addition to 1958 Spain and 66. In 966, Portugal lost to England in the semi-final, 1970 to Brazil in the final, 1974 to west Germany in the final, 1982 to Italy in the final, and 65438+ to west Germany in the final. In 2005, Ronaldinho won the European Footballer of the Year, which seems to be quietly aimed at Brazil. Confederations Cup and America's Cup As long as you get the Confederations Cup or America's Cup before the World Cup, you can't win it. The hit rate of this rule is still 100%. 1992 The King Fahd Cup, the predecessor of the Confederations Cup, was won by Argentina. As a result, Brazil, the Confederations Cup champion of 1997, and France, the champion of 200 1, were eliminated in the first round of the second stage of 1994. You can't have the Copa America and the World Cup at the same time. This rule has not been broken since 1930. The earliest example is 1929. Argentina won the Copa America, and they lost to Uruguay in the first World Cup final the following year. The latest example is 200 1, Colombia won the Copa America at home, and they didn't even make the final in 2002. It is worth noting that Brazil won the World Cup three times from 1958 to 1970. During this 12 year, they were always isolated from the America's Cup. Do they realize the terrible power of this spell? In 2004, Brazil beat Argentina to win the Copa America. Germany in 2006, can they get rid of their fate? Nine. 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 1990, the World Cup held in Europe has always been won by the team sponsored by "Clover Company". 1990, west Germany beat Argentina on penalties, and two red cards and one penalty in the final were controversial. 1998 France beat Brazil 3-0, and C Ronaldo was strangely injured in the final. The jerseys of these two European teams have the logo of the sponsor "Clover". However, in the World Cup held outside Europe, Clover's control seems to have declined, which may be related to Europe being their main site. 1994 and the 2002 world cup, Brazil won the championship twice. At that time, they were wearing the jerseys of Four Corners Company and Hook Company respectively. Don't underestimate the power of Clover in Europe. 1996 European Championship champion Germany, France in 2000 and Greece in 2004 were all sponsored by them. This World Cup is held in Germany, which is the headquarters of Clover Company. According to this fear, it seems difficult for the final champion to leave Germany, France, Argentina and Spain, which have shamrock on their jerseys.
