Max-level burst damage at the start, the British Empire arrives!

After Sun Ke scored, Greek captain Karagounis lost his temper on the spot. He rushed into the penalty area and yelled at the defenders, with the veins on his neck bulging.

If this were a Cthulhu novel, he would lose control and turn into a monster in the next second.

The Greek center-backs argued loudly, and the two walked closer and closer. Sun Ke watched the scene up close, almost shouting "First round begins!"

As a result, several Greek players gathered together, shouting and yelling, and finally reached a consensus.

The game restarted, and the Greek players basically went into full-on rhino mode, constantly charging at the English players on the field.

The two teams battled back and forth in the 20-meter area around the center circle for ten minutes, almost like playing rugby. The ball was constantly being contested in the midfield, and it was impossible for it to stay in one side's half for long.

The Greek midfield is rough, but the trio of Rooney, Milner, and Wilshere is also very aggressive, especially Rooney and Wilshere, who tackle anyone they encounter, displaying a violent tendency in their play.

Both sides kept sending players into the midfield, and players like Sterling and Walcott, who are relatively small, couldn't get up once they were on the field.

Despite the intense competition and frequent fouls by both sides, no player received a yellow card.

The key is that both teams' tackles are very precise; every tackle hits the ball.

If Scholes were in this situation, he would have had enough time to get three red cards.

It's common knowledge that Manchester United's star player has terrible tackling skills; he tackles very hard and basically can't get the ball.

In the 27th minute, Sun Ke took the initiative to drop back to receive the ball and joined the fray.

Seeing Sun Ke retreat, Wilshere immediately launched a long ball from the backfield.

Greek center-back Manolas roughly rammed into Sun Ke from behind with his upper body, trying to push Sun Ke away with his body.

If Sun Ke had fallen to the ground instantly like he did at La Masia Film Academy, the referee would probably have called a foul immediately.

But a man can't afford to lose face like that!

Sun Ke leaned back suddenly, knocking his opponent away.

Manolas was a star player in Football Manager for some years, but in reality, he only played in the Champions League with Olympiacos.

After being pushed away, Manolas quickly pressed back against Sun Ke and entangled him.

At that moment, the football had already flown over.

Sun Ke was originally preparing to use his chest to catch the ball, but when he sensed that Manolas was trying to get in front of him to intercept, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Just as the ball was about to reach his chest, Sun Ke suddenly dodged, letting the ball pass behind him.

Manolas had already circled around to Sun Ke's side, and Sun Ke's move caught him completely off guard.

However, the Greek center-back, with his extensive Champions League experience, noticed something was wrong and immediately lunged at the ball, slamming it onto the grass with his chest.

Hey!

This guy is really cunning; he can still put on a death throes even at this point.

Sun Ke immediately rushed towards the ball and headed it forward.

At times like these!

Not a single second can be wasted!

Even though he completed the dribble cleanly, Manolas' move just now wasted a lot of time.

In the blink of an eye, the butcher's defensive midfielder Karagounis caught up.

This guy is running for his life!

There's no time left to handle the ball!

Sun Ke looked up and Walcott immediately started moving based on Sun Ke's action.

This is the tacit understanding that has been cultivated over three years!

Sun Ke didn't have time to think and used the instep of his foot to strike the bottom of the football.

The football traced an arc through the air, flying over the Greek penalty area before suddenly plummeting to the right side of the box.

Before the Greek left-back could react, Walcott had already rushed to the right side of the six-yard box.

The moment the ball landed, Walcott was perfectly positioned, while the Greek goalkeeper was still moving toward the near post!

In the blink of an eye!

Walcott crouched down and headed the ball towards the near corner!

The Greek goalkeeper makes a diving save!

But the ball was way too close to the goal!

He could only watch helplessly as the football flew past him and into the goal.

2: 0!

The moment Walcott scored, all the England players raised their hands.

Sun Ke roared and started waving his fists at the stands.

Walcott's goal was absolutely crucial!

England did not gain much advantage over Greece.

If the game continues at this pace, it's hard to say whether they can maintain their advantage.

Sun Ke had already figured it out after the previous knockout rounds.

Although both the World Cup and club competitions involve playing football, they are completely different types of football.

If a club is a job for a player, then the World Cup is about chasing a dream.

They're not even on the same level.

In previous matches, Iran managed to keep up with Argentina until the 90th minute, while Mexico nearly crushed the Netherlands in the first half.

With all players pushing their limits, only a very few can change the game through their individual abilities.

In the commentary booth, Lineker jumped up: "Beautiful!"

"Sun Ke's pass completely pierced the Greek defense; Walcott's job was incredibly simple!"

"He only needs to touch the ball to score!"

"The pass was positioned so wide that the shooter had no chance of getting the ball over the bar. The goal was simply too wide from that position, and Walcott clearly didn't have the technique to get the ball out of play!"

Once Lineker got excited, he started daydreaming and didn't care at all about Walcott's feelings when he was reflecting on the game.

The game restarted, and the Greek players did their best to break through Ashley Cole's defense, launching repeated attacks down the right flank.

Ashley Cole is getting old after all, and after a few rounds, he gradually began to succumb to the relentless onslaught of "Various S".

Greece then created two more scoring opportunities. The first was when their right winger broke past Ashley Cole and passed the ball into the penalty area.

Samaras' close-range shot was poked out of the penalty area by Joe Hart.

The second time was when the Greek team broke through from the left, and the Greek right winger overpowered Ashley Cole on the right to head the ball towards the goal, but Joe Hart once again made a brilliant save.

The ball landed in the penalty area, and a Greek player followed up to shoot at the empty net, but Terry lay on the ground and used his face to block the ball out of bounds.

Seeing the defense under such pressure, Sun Ke immediately signaled Milner to return to the left wing, and Rooney dropped back to midfield to form a three-man defensive midfield.

This chain reaction forced Sterling and Walcott to drop back to midfield, turning England's formation into a Christmas tree shape for Greece.

At this moment, England launched a counter-attack, and Wilshere received the ball and made a long pass.

Sun Ke rushed forward but was tripped by Karagounis.

The referee showed a yellow card to the Greek captain and then blew the whistle to end the first half.

Is the first half over?

So fast!

Sun Ke turned to look at the electronic timer; injury time was over.

He was so engrossed in the game that he didn't even notice the first half was over.

This was an experience he had never had before.

It's truly embarrassing to be thrashed like a Christmas tree by a team that last qualified for the World Cup twenty years ago.

But if advancing to the quarterfinals is only a matter of losing face, then the price isn't too high.

Although Ashley Cole had a rough first half, to be honest, he actually played quite well.

Any defensive player would probably be devastated if they were targeted by three or four opposing players in turn.

The reason the Greek team targeted England's left flank was because Ashley Cole is old.

Actually, solving this problem is very easy; just replace Walker with him.

But doing this when you're in the lead is actually very hurtful to Ashley Cole's pride.

Unless he's no longer needed in future matches, don't leave him with a grudge for no reason.

Ashley Cole is a very proud man, so it's best not to affect his mood.

Furthermore, allowing the Greek players to focus their attacks on the right flank might not be a bad thing for the England team.

At least the Greek team's actions were within everyone's expectations, so at least we were mentally prepared.

At the start of the second half, England made no substitutions. Sun Ke dropped back to midfield, leaving Sterling and Walcott up front.

In the 60th minute, the referee stopped the game and signaled for the players to go to the sidelines for water.

This World Cup has a rule that if the temperature exceeds 32 degrees Celsius, the referee can give the players one opportunity to hydrate during each match.

While everyone was hydrating, Sturridge ran over and told Sun Ke to look in the direction of the Greek team.

Sun Ke glanced over and saw that Greek captain Karagounis was vomiting on the sidelines, his hands on his thighs.

This guy is really going all out! He even threw up from running!

Sun Ke said to his teammates, "The story is about to end."

Greece's time is up!
