World Cup Final 2002

Brazil have won the world title for a record fifth time after beating three-time winners Germany 2-0 in the final - Ronaldo was scorer of both goals and has won the Golden Boot Award.

Turkey beat out co-hosts Korea for the third-place spot after each team had reached the semifinals for the first time ever. Leading Scorers
Ronaldo Brazil 8
Miroslav Klose Germany 5
Rivaldo Brazil 5

In a tournament of upsets, holders France were knocked out of the tournament in the Group Rounds, along with pre-tournament favourites Argentina and No.5- ranked Portugal.

The outstanding African country was Senegal who, in their first ever World Cup, were eventually knocked out in the quarterfinals by Turkey via an extra-time golden goal.

The final draw for this 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan took place on 1 December 2001 in Busan, one of the ten Korean hosting cities, with the fixtures having been arranged in a meeting held in June earlier that year.

@khanell786 Yeah, Argentina always get their ass kicked by Germany, but if Brazil had legends, they would destroy the Germans like nothing. Besides, Germany haven't faced Brazil yet through out 2009, 2010, & 11, ao we don't know nothing yet!!!

germany would kill brazil today

@Simese21: For an exact repeat in 2014, that would mean Germany will have to have a handball on the goalline in order to beat the USA. Perhaps the referees won't help Germany in Brasil 2014. More importantly, maybe the refs won't take away American goals in 2014.
