(“Gong Bing”) In the closing stages of the USA–Canada–Mexico World Cup group matches, shocks kept coming one after another. On the 25th, in Group E’s third round, Germany—after taking the lead just two minutes into the match—lost 1:2 to Ecuador, suffering an unexpected defeat while still locked in as group winners. Also on the same day, in Group D’s final round, the United States, which got a “lightning strike” goal in the third minute, likewise failed to hold onto their advantage and were eliminated early when Turkey “snatched” the win with a late “killer blow.” Although the U.S. team lost, it still advanced as the group leader.
