Green Life

Cape Town is one of the three capitals of South Africa. You heard me right. South Africa is so self-willed. It has three capitals, the administrative capital (the seat of the central government) Pretoria, the judicial capital (the seat of the Supreme Court) Bloemfontein, Legislative capital (seat of Congress) Cape Town.

If you studied geography and world history when you were 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 Ma Keqin knew that he was really because of the stand-alone game The Age of Discovery. Cape Town is a large city that is rarely marked in the south of the African map.

Many African cities, in Africa, have a European heart, which has a lot to do with the previous European colonial history, and the same is true for Cape Town.

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

My God, isn't this Hong Kong? Well, if you've been there, you can't go wrong.

It's just that many African factors have been added to it, such as African animals that can be seen everywhere, the wild grasslands on the outskirts of the city, and the less reassuring public security in the surrounding area.

Fortunately, everything is fine in the city.

Mark Qin snapped a photo with his mobile phone, and a bustling city by the sea was reflected in it, with a description, "I came to the famous Table Mountain, and I will go to the Cape of Storms, which is the Cape of Good Hope, Cape Town The city is really modern, plus, HappyBirthdayToMyself", and posted on Instagram.

Today is his birthday, but apart from the congratulations from the whole team and Isabella accompanying him, he doesn't have much time to celebrate, but the Internet is full of troubles, and the number of instant replies broke the Ins record! Countless "happy birthday" replies to his social media.

They only have two hours of activity time. After the plane arrived here early in the morning, Ma Keqin met with Isabella who came earlier, and went straight to the scenic spot. The Cape of Good Hope needs to be visited.

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

The history of European trade in the era of great voyages is written here, because Cape Town was once a trade transfer station for Europeans to the Far East, where the Dutch and the British successively carried out colonial rule.

Before the opening of the Suez Canal, almost all ships traveling between Europe and Asia passed through this place. Slaves, sailors, businessmen and pirate kings from all over the world met here, and Cape Town was therefore known as the "tavern of the seven oceans".

"Look, that's the Green Point Stadium, where we will play tonight. If we can reach the semi-finals, we may come back here again," Mark Qin, who was fully armed, pointed to an artistic stadium in the distance. .

Isabella was also completely dressed up and couldn't tell who it was. Looking at the blue sky and sea in the distance, she sighed, "It's so beautiful. The green dot is only a stone's throw away from the sea. From a distance, it looks like a star on the seashore." Pearl.

South Africa is completely different from what he imagined before he came here. He really hopes to stay here longer, and even hopes to stay to the end. Even the winning odds offered by the bookmakers for them are far behind.

So what if there are Rooney and Mark Qin, which of the world's top teams is not star-studded, the key depends on the overall performance of the team and the inertia of history.

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. , it is difficult for gaming companies to believe that they will be able to explode this year.

The 2:2 draw with the United States in the first game has already told the world that England is still the same England, everyone just look at stars like Mark Qin and Rooney!

...

"Goaaaaaaaaal...,

Donovan, he scored the lore goal. The US team defeated Slovenia 3:2. England is under a lot of pressure. They must win against Algeria at night, otherwise they will be in the group after two rounds Third, the qualifying situation will be precarious.”

At noon, in the conference room of the hotel, a roomful of English players were sitting together, watching the first game of this round of Group C. It was still 2:2 in 90 minutes, but Donovan completed the lore in 91 minutes!

In the current group, the US team has 1 win and 1 draw, and Slovenia has 1 win and 1 loss, ranking the top two. The result of England's game tonight will determine whether they will lose the initiative to qualify.

Capello stood up from the seat in front and turned to face them. The American team members celebrating carnivally were still playing on the TV, and the atmosphere was dignified.

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

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

"You have all seen that the competition for the top spot in the group is very fierce. If we want to go further, it is best to avoid the current German team, which is in good shape. It's not that I don't have confidence. This is our reality, so the next two You should know in your heart what should be done on the field," he said solemnly.

Beckham also stood up and said seriously: "Forget about the interference outside the field and focus on the field. Prince William will also come to watch the match 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 will do our best in this match," said Gerrard, the captain, who took the lead to stand up.

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

But having the determination to win does not mean underestimating the enemy, because Algeria has a low reputation. Although it is relatively weak, it is not a 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, and he is an Algerian player.

But Algeria is really not called fish belly, because they also have a name called "French Second Team", yes, because most of their players are French players.

Many players have dual citizenship of France and Algeria, and French football is full of talents, all kinds of tall, and they had no choice but to choose Algeria when they could not be recruited.

Counting Algeria's roster in the first round, 9 of the 11 players were naturalized from France. They played for France in the youth team, and came to Algeria in the adult team.

Mark Qin has to sigh, colonization is better, at least in the sports world, many stars in Europe and the United States are descendants of colonization, and 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, it was a bit cold, they finished their meal at the hotel in the afternoon, did a little exercise in the gym, and got familiar with the venue and warmed up 2 hours in advance.

"Mark, Mark, let's say a few words." When I got off the bus, many media surrounded me. I tried to put the microphone in front of Mark Qin outside the isolation zone. Now I feel that my arms are not long enough.

On the other side of the fan entrance channel, a large number of England fans carried the national flag and painted the national flag on their faces, loudly shouting, "England must win!", "Go, great England"

Ma Keqin stopped for a while and said into the microphone: "We must win, and we will definitely win!"

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

The live broadcast covered the England generals who filed into the player tunnel. They went straight to the locker room, and Capello took Gerrard to the press conference just like Algeria coach Saadan, and began to accept the pre-match news. interview.

"England announced the starting lineup early this time, instead of announcing it 2 hours in advance like the first game. What is Capello's intention?" Peterson asked Mika on the side.

"He should have accepted the player's suggestion. It is said that it was the result of his conversation with Gerrard. There was no accident. Both Green and Ledley King lost the starting lineup, and Terry also sat on the bench," McCarthy said. "Too many problems were exposed in the first game. Capello is still very courageous. The starting lineup of this game has changed so much. If he doesn't succeed, there will be overwhelming doubts waiting for him."

"If you can't win this game, England is likely to go home early," Peterson said. Think it's still Mark?"

"Of course," Mika nodded, "I can't believe it's his first time participating in such a big World Cup. Mark's performance was one of the few players who played normally in the first game. He looked very relaxed. There is no restraint at all, when Rooney has been unable to find his form, Mark's ability to score goals is our last insurance."

"I'm really looking forward to his dream performance last season." Peterson is also looking forward to it. "He may become England's Romario, Baggio, and Ronaldo. Although he is just 19 years old, it's nothing. impossible, especially for Mark"

"And," added McCarthy, "today is Mark's birthday, and it's also Capello's birthday. Their birthdays are on the same day. This is an inspiration for the whole team. They all want to use the victory to serve the national team. Birthday presents for the oldest and youngest couple”

The Green Point Stadium, which can accommodate more than 70,000 people, was already overcrowded, and Isabella also sat in the VIP stands early, "Happy birthday, my dear, the Lord will bless you to win, I hope every year today I will be with you Let's spend together", amidst the noise, there is a quiet prayer.

"Those things belong to the past. From the moment we step into the stadium today, everything is new. We will definitely get back to our form and will not disappoint England fans!", Capello said sonorously at the press conference .

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

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

There was a bang in the stands of the stadium. Ma Keqin and his teammates walked out of the aisle and began to warm up. This is the momentum that the World Cup should have, he looked up and thought.

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

In this focus battle about England's life and death, they used their best efforts to cheer for the team, victory is the only way out!

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