Does Bailey's curse really work?

1990 World Cup, he is optimistic that Yugoslavia will become a dark horse. The first game was defeated by Germany 1:4. At the same time, he called Brazil the strongest team in a century, and then the first game was eliminated after Brazil appeared.

192 European Cup, he continued to be optimistic about Yugoslavia, and Yugoslavia was suspended as a result.

194 World Cup, he is optimistic that Colombia will become a dark horse. As a result, the Colombian team was eliminated and the defender was shot. (This is the worst)

In Euro 96, Turkey was said to be optimistic, but Lima, Turkey was eliminated.

In the 1998 World Cup, Pele was optimistic that Spain would become a dark horse in the group stage, and as a result, Spain qualified. At the end of the group stage, I was crazy about Nigeria. As a result, Nigeria went home in the first round of the knockout round. Before the final, he was optimistic about Brazil, which lost the World Cup with the biggest defeat in history.

In the 2002 World Cup, he was optimistic about Argentina and France, and both teams were killed. After England beat Denmark 3-0 in the knockout round, Pele predicted that England would win the championship, and Brazil killed it in the next match. Brazil, which he had never evaluated, finally won the championship.

In the 2004 European Cup, Italy was favored in the group stage, but the Italians who were stronger than Ma Zhuang packed their bags and left. Portugal and England are optimistic about Rooney and England before the game. As a result, Rooney was injured immediately and England lost the penalty. Then I was optimistic about the French team and was eliminated that night. Then in the semi-final, I am optimistic about the winner of Portugal VS Holland. The runner-up was the Czech Republic, and the final champion was the only Greece he didn't mention.

Before the final of the Asian Cup in 2004, Bailey did not hesitate to praise China and said that China would definitely win the championship. As a result, I will not say it. This really hurts the feelings of the people of China. ...

More than 20 years ago, Bailey visited China and said that you would soon enter the World Cup.

As a result, China struggled for 20 years.

Every World Cup, Bailey's remarks always attract people's attention. There used to be a saying that Bailey's favorite team couldn't go far. In fact, Bailey's favorite team is also a popular team. Yesterday, Bailey concluded in an interview that in previous World Cups, the prevailing situation was very dangerous. Although he had previously expressed optimism about Brazil, he could not help but feel a little worried about the fate of the team.

Bailey listed: "In 1974 and 1978, the Dutch team at that time was the biggest favourite to win the championship, and as a result, they lost in the finals of those two World Cups;" Brazil built a champion team in 1982, but it ended in tragedy. No one would have thought that Brazil would capsize against Italy, and Rossi scored three goals. Four years ago, France and Argentina were the favourites, and as a result ... "In the 2002 World Cup, both France and Argentina were eliminated in the group stage, which became the biggest upset at that time.

In fact, there is a certain inevitability. On the one hand, all popular teams are bound to be repeatedly studied by their opponents, and their weaknesses and advantages are in the light, which is conducive to opponents' "avoiding reality and being empty"; On the other hand, the team has become a hot spot, which shows that they reached their best state before the World Cup, so that they won a winning streak in previous games, but no team can maintain this state for a long time. In the World Cup, it is still 1 month.

Bailey said: "I hope this Brazilian team can break the death curse of previous years."

Speaking of other top teams, Bailey named six teams: "I think Italy, England and Argentina are equal teams." After them, I will list France, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. "

"Besides, beckenbauer said that we should pay attention to Portuguese and Spanish, and I think he may be right." Bailey finally said.
