The European Championship and the World Cup are arguably the most watched national team events.

Because of the wide range of participation in the World Cup, there are many strong teams, so many fans like to pay attention to this event. Because the European Cup has many famous stars, the fans of these stars will also pay attention to their home team's games.

The European Cup and the World Cup will have a group stage, compared with the knockout stage, it seems that the group stage is a little gentler, and the fault tolerance rate will be higher.

But the group stage is usually only three games, relatively speaking, there are all kinds of problems.

Under normal circumstances, the three group matches can win two games to basically ensure that the line, of course, there are some extreme cases, the three teams are 2-1.

In the group stage, there will also be some teams that won a match and qualified directly, although it is a small probability event, but Chile in the 98 World Cup drew the second group three times, and the Japan team in the 2005 World Youth Tournament is more exaggerated, they only got 2 draws and qualified directly.

However, in the new century, there are still two teams in the group stage to remain unbeaten in the case of the tournament out, it can be said to be quite a pity. Here's a look at how the two teams fared.

Euro 2004 was held in Portugal, and the hosts were eager to lift the Delaunay Cup at home, but they lost their opening game to Greece, and no one would have thought that this would become an early final.

In addition to the Greek mythology, we also left a lot of classic stories in this European Cup.

One of them has to mention the story of Sweden and Denmark, the Nordic brothers, who did away with Italy.

In the 2004 European Cup, the Italian team met the Nordic team Denmark in the first game, between the two teams played more conservative, who did not want to lose in the first game, after all, the competition system of a total of few games, has always attached importance to the defense of the Italians, of course, also readily accepted the result.

In the other match in the same group, Sweden fired on all cylinders and swept Bulgaria 5-0.

At this time, Bulgaria's strength has been greatly reduced, and they performed poorly in this cup and finally finished bottom of the table.

In the second round, Italy faced Sweden can be said to be in the win, Cassano's goal helped Italy take the lead, at the age of 21, Cassano was regarded as the new hope of the Italian team.

Italy held on until the end of the game, but in the 85th minute, Ibrahimovic's scorpion tail swing saved Sweden. In the other match, Denmark beat Bulgaria 2-0.

In the final round of matches, Italy not only had to win, but also had to rely on the outcome of the Denmark and Sweden match, because according to the rules, in the case of three teams with the same number of points, the result, goal difference and goal difference between each other must be compared.

Because of the draw with the top two teams in Northern Europe, and Italy only scored one goal in two games, Sweden and Denmark can draw 2-2 in the final round.

In the end, the game between Sweden and Denmark was actually 2-2, and in front of everyone in the world, the two teams openly played a tacit game.

In the end, Italy won out, and the group stage got 1 win and 2 draws, although they remained undefeated, they were still out with a grudge.

The other team that went out unbeaten in the World Cup also had a little to do with Italy, they were in a group with Italy in that tournament, but they went out with Italy.

That team is New Zealand.

New Zealand, who represented Oceania in 2010, qualified for the World Cup by knocking out an Asian opponent in a play-off.

But in the World Cup, New Zealand has been drawn in a difficult group that includes defending champions Italy, South American powerhouse Paraguay and Slovak from Europe.

Paraguay and Slovakia qualified together, while Italy finished bottom of the group, losing 2-3 to Slovakia in the final round to see their opponents through, while they finished bottom of the group.

However, the tenacious New Zealand has made three consecutive draws in this World Cup, they have two 1-1 draws against Slovakia and Italy, and the last round of 0-0 and Paraguay shake hands, although they failed to qualify in the group, but they can beat Italy at the same time can remain unchanged, New Zealand out is actually very decent.
