权利更迭：拉美球队意气风发 碾压欧洲对手.docxVIP

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 certainly begs many questions. In what is the first World Cup to be played in Latin America since 1986, are we again destined for a winner from that same continent?这种趋势在拉美球队同欧洲联队日益扩大的鸿沟——拉美球队的足球资源和欧洲联队的资金——背景下越发突出。这也的确产生了很多问题。其中一个问题就是在拉丁美洲自1986年首次举行世界杯后，我们还要将世界杯的奖杯拱手让给拉美球队吗？And, for all Europe’s money, structures, academies and 10-year plans, are we discovering that the best footballers are still those who spent their childhoods honing their technical skills and temperament away from formal coaching and in fiercely competitive street matches.尽管欧洲投入了大量的资金，做了各种精心的组织，进行了各种
