Amid all the goals, thrills and English inquests, a wider pattern is unfolding in Brazil that might yet develop into the World Cup’s most significant narrative. 据英国《每日电讯报》报道，在球员的进球，球迷的尖叫及英国人对失败的追问中，一种新的模式在巴西席卷开来。也许，这种模式会成为本届世界杯最最具意义的阐述。 Just take a look at the various results and standings. Brazil and Mexicolead Group A. Having so stylishly seen off the defending champions, Chile are already through in Group B. Columbia lead Group C. Uruguay have eliminated England from Group D and now have the chance to progress with Costa Rica. 让我们一起来看看各组比赛的结果和依然立足的球队。巴西和墨西哥领跑A组。用新式打法击败卫冕冠军西班牙后，智利得以出线B组。哥伦比亚领衔C组。乌拉圭使英格兰从D组淘汰，并为自己同哥斯达黎加一同晋级创造了机会。 Ecuador are second behind France in Group E while Argentina are making their expected progress in Group F. 在E组中，厄瓜多尔紧随法国位列第二。而阿根廷则不负众望在领跑F组。 That is potentially eight Latin America teams into the last 16 of the tournament. It would be a feat unprecedented in World Cup history but also the continuation of a surprising wider trend that has seen countries from this region steadily increase their participation in the knockout phase from three in 2002, to four in 2006 and then six in 2010. |
