The regrettable mistakes in the history of the World Cup are as follows

1. In the 2018 World Cup Argentina VS Croatia (group stage) match, the Argentine goalkeeper received a back pass from his teammate. His brain was seriously short-circuited. When faced with multiple-choice questions such as short pass and big foot, Caballero unexpectedly chose a rub pass. Maybe he wanted to rub the ball over Rebic's head in a cool way. As a result, there was a serious lack of height and accuracy, which turned into a perfect assist for Rebic. The focused Rebic took advantage of the situation and scored the first goal for Croatia. At this time, all the Argentine players on and off the field were stunned. What had just happened?

2. In the 12th minute of the 2018 World Cup Japan VS Senegal (group stage) match, Japanese goalkeeper Kawashima Eiji saved a less dangerous shot from Senegal, and happened to hit the opponent's forward Mane. At his feet, the latter hit the ball into the net. This ball was more like Kawashima Eiji hitting the ball on Mane and then reflecting it into the net. Although he later qualified in the group stage, harsh Japanese fans still could not forgive Kawashima Nagaji. Netizens said that he only deserved to go to the car wash. If Senegal beats Japan 2:1 due to this goal, and Japan fails to qualify, Kawashima may not even be able to wash his car.

3. 2002 World Cup England VS Brazil (quarter-finals) This is the battle where Ronaldinho was truly recognized by the world. 35 meters away, a free kick was taken. The football drew a strange arc in the air and flew into the net. The 38-year-old Seaman was unprepared for this. Years later, he still talked about it as a mishandled cross.

4. In the 2002 World Cup Germany VS Brazil (final) match, Kahn's finger was injured due to a collision. 3 minutes later, Rivaldo attacked the goal hard, Kahn made a mistake in the save, and Ronaldo intervened at high speed. The follow-up shot scored. In fact, Germany's No. 5 LaMelo, who was guarding Ronaldo, was also responsible, but he seemed to be taking a walk at the time.

In the history of the World Cup, there have been wonderful scenes and regrettable mistakes.

Among them, Higuita's dribbling error, Baggio's missed penalty kick, and Seaman's position in the front and being hit by a goal were the most regrettable.

1. Higuita’s dribbling error caused the team to lose.

At 90 o'clock in the World Cup, Higuita left the penalty area when he picked up the ball.

At this time, he cannot touch the ball with his hands and should choose to dispose of the ball as soon as possible.

However, he was overconfident and chose to dribble. As a result, Uncle Mira grabbed the ball and scored, causing the team to lose.

This mistake is regrettable.

2. Baggio missed the penalty kick and caused the team to lose in the penalty kick final.

In the final of the 1994 World Cup, both sides were evenly matched during regular time and entered the points final. ...In the crucial round, Baggio missed the penalty kick. ... This mistake directly caused the team to lose the championship. ...Seeing Baggio's missing figure on the field, countless fans felt sorry for him.

3. Seaman was ejected because of his forward position, and the team lost.

In the 2002 World Cup, Seaman stood forward when defending, but Ronaldinho scored from 35 meters away. ... Seaman had no reaction at that time and just made a subconscious action to save the ball. ... This mistake directly caused the team to lose. For Seaman, this regret is irreparable.

Many years later, he is still worried about this. ...The above mistakes all led to the team losing, and because they were the mistakes of famous stars, they are particularly regrettable. This has also become a unique memory of the World Cup.
