The appearances of Neymar and Ochoa, a bright farewell to Haiti and what Vinicius promised Ancelotti:...

The group stage reached the finish line. After each match, we will learn more and more participants of the playoffs, as well as those who will go home in the coming days. Last game day gave us many bright moments: dramatic endings, spectacular goals and saves, as well as records and the first couple of playoffs. Bosnia and Herzegovina continues to write history The joke from the song "I'm from Bosnia. Take me to America" ​​got out of hand. In the third round, Bosnians beat Qatar 3:1 and secured third place in the group. Already later, the team found out that they would definitely play in the playoffs, because Scotland lost to Brazil. After this result, it became clear that at least in the four groups, the teams that finish third will not be able to overtake the Bosnians in terms of points. Their story continues! Also, the match against Qatar presented several interesting statistical events. First, the Bosnia and Herzegovina midfielder became the youngest player in the history of World Cups to score from outside the penalty area. Yes, we know you love records like this. For the conservatives, Dzeko played his 150th match for the national team, bettering his own record. Switzerland won the group and sent Canada to a dream opponent Switzerland defeated Canada 2-1 in the match for the lead in Quartet B. Murat Yakin's team had the game initiative for most of the match, but managed to score only after the break, twice. The Canadians won one goal, but were unable to score more. It is not for you to bash Qatar. But is anyone sad about it? Hardly. In the playoffs, the Canadians will play against the South African national team. And this is the first formed pair of playoffs at this tournament. The only problem for Canada is logistics. The exit from the first place would allow to play in Vancouver, but then you will have to go to Inglewood, USA. Hakimi and Rahimi canceled a national holiday in Haiti Who considered the Haitian national team to be tourists at this World Cup? Another match against Scotland showed that this is a worthy team. Sebastien Meunier's team almost won in the match against Morocco. The secret of such a performance is simple: the Haitians played at their pleasure without the pressure of the result. The end of the attack with the heel, a frantic shot from outside the penalty area — it was all there. Hakimi had to run a lot to fix everything. It seems that during the break the coaching staff asked their captain to calm down a bit. The fate of the match was decided by the departure of Sofyan Rahimi - in the second half, the striker, who at the club level made 49 effective actions in 68 matches under the leadership of Serhii Rebrov, scored a goal and provided an assist - 4:2. It should be noted that one of the goals was scored by Ismael Saibari. He became the first African to score in each of the three World Cup group stage matches. It's cool to have a player who guarantees you a goal in a match. It makes you feel safe. And not only that: Rexona will never cheat. Gifts for Vinicius and Neymar Scotland need a win against Brazil to claim second place or a draw to secure a third-place finish. However, Steve Clark's wards decided that it was Vinicius Junior's birthday. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain the actions of the defense. First, McKenna knocked the ball away from Ryan, and Vinicius dealt with Gunn. Later, the Seleção star picked off the defender himself and made a one-on-one move, but a foul was recorded there. Probably, everyone would have talked about the Real winger after the match, but Neymar appeared on the field! He became the fourth Brazilian to play in four World Cups. Before that, Pele, Djalma Santos and Kafu managed to do it. The stands applauded, and Neymar played quite well. In general, everyone was satisfied. Brazil won easily with a score of 3-0 and reached the playoffs for the eleventh time in a row. And most importantly, the gifts for Vinicius are running out. Carlo Ancelotti promised him a gift for a header because he didn't believe it could happen. The South African national team unexpectedly took second place in Group A Who did not criticize the Africans after the defeat by Mexico. Then there were immediately talks about the fact that if South Africa is giving in without a chance, then what will happen to conditional Haiti and Cape Verde. Time put everything in its place - South Africa, for example, on the second step in the group. As it turned out, the wards of Ugo Bros know how to defend themselves in an organized manner and act brilliantly on counterattacks. First of all, the Koreans, who now hope to enter the playoffs from third place, learned about it. The South African team became the seventh African team to reach the play-off round of the World Cup. Farewell to Ochoa They joke that if it were a day on the calendar, it would be February 29. Ochoa did not have an outstanding career at
