0:00:03 > 0:00:04There were strong emotions.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07The players had wanted to do so well,
0:00:07 > 0:00:10and it was a moment of deliverance for them.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12The whole world was talking about the game
0:00:12 > 0:00:16and we had wanted to prove that we were a quality team.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20I think we all felt liberated afterwards - the dignitaries,

0:00:51 > 0:00:54Senegal's victory was a source of great encouragement
0:00:54 > 0:00:57for the World Cup's so-called smaller nations.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00What chance, then, Saudi Arabia defeating
0:01:00 > 0:01:02the three-time champions Germany?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13That question was answered as early as the 25th minute.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17By that time, a German team that had almost missed out on the finals
0:01:17 > 0:01:19was 2-0 up and coasting.
0:01:22 > 0:01:258-0, it would finish - Germany's biggest ever World Cup win.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37The result did little to support the Asian Football Confederation's
0:01:37 > 0:01:40claim for a fifth Asian team at the 2006 finals.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50A good start for Rudi Voller's squad,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53which many back home had considered the weakest ever assembled
0:01:53 > 0:01:55by Germany for a World Cup Finals.

0:02:08 > 0:02:09fixture against Turkey.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Their captain - Emerson, a midfielder -
0:02:11 > 0:02:15had dislocated his shoulder whilst keeping goal in training.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20On a positive not, Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho were fit,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23and all would be included in Luis Felipe Scolari's team sheet
0:02:23 > 0:02:26for what promised to be Brazil's toughest test of the group stages.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Turkey had last appeared in the World Cup Finals in 1954.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54Both goalkeepers were kept very busy in an entertaining first half.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07It was Turkey that opened the score.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24After a few sharp words from Scolari,
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Brazil started the second half in explosive fashion.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38TRANSLATION: It was a typical Brazilian move -
0:03:38 > 0:03:40good passing and good rhythm.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44It was early in the second half and we were still trailing Turkey 1-0.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Rivaldo moved down the left
0:03:52 > 0:03:55and put in a perfect cross between the defender and the goalkeeper.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I knew where he was going to put it and I charged past defenders
0:03:58 > 0:04:01and threw myself at the ball with all my strength.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08If I hadn't, I wouldn't have got to the ball. I was lucky.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10I was very happy, because that goal brought us level.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13It was a huge boost to the team morale.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24It was Ronaldo's first goal for Brazil in 1,000 days.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40He was soon after a second.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Minutes later, Brazil's hero turned villain.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- TRANSLATION:- It was coming towards the end of the match
0:06:07 > 0:06:12and I was trying to waste a bit of time, trying to stop the game.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I didn't for one moment think that the referee would
0:06:15 > 0:06:18send off the player who kicked the ball in my direction.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22The ball hit my legs and I put my hands on my stomach.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24These are just things that happen in football,
0:06:24 > 0:06:26and that will always be the case.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Turkey's chance for revenge would come later.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40As the World Cup got into its stride,
0:06:40 > 0:06:44the fans were soon taking for granted the quality of the stadium.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Construction work had started long before
0:06:48 > 0:06:50the co-hosting decision was made.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Originally, Japan selected 15 venues,
0:06:53 > 0:06:57but sharing the World Cup meant this was reduced by FIFA to ten,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59with Yokohama the first to be completed.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Korea's original intention was to use six or seven venues,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07but on the grounds of balance, not to mention rivalry,
0:07:07 > 0:07:11they two decided on ten, all built from scratch.
0:07:15 > 0:07:1720 stadium 18 of them new.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20The overall cost, more than 5 billion,
0:07:20 > 0:07:23unprecedented in World Cup history.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25To some, this was one of the most exciting features
0:07:25 > 0:07:29of Asia's first World Cup, to others, its greatest extravagance.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35The most spectacular Sapporo's indoor stadium
0:07:35 > 0:07:38was designed to combat the rigorous Japanese winters.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40It could convert from a baseball stadium
0:07:40 > 0:07:43into an international football venue in five hours.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Eight days in, Sapporo was about to stage its third and final game -
0:07:48 > 0:07:52the eagerly anticipated meeting of England and Argentina.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57The Argentine players had been endearing themselves
0:07:57 > 0:08:00to the locals in Naraha in the northeast of Japan.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08They'd been in relaxed mood since their arrival in the area,
0:08:08 > 0:08:12and had opened their campaign with a 1-0 victory against Nigeria.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15The South Americans overran their opponents for most of that game,
0:08:15 > 0:08:19but ultimately converted just one of their 20 attempts on goal.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27As for England,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30they'd also been well-received by the Japanese public.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Everyone wanted a glimpse of David Beckham, it seemed.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37The captain was still recovering from the foot injury
0:08:37 > 0:08:40that had threatened to rule him out of the tournament,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43but he had played 63 minutes of England's opening fixture,
0:08:43 > 0:08:45a 1-1 draw with Sweden.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Argentina were next, the latest in a long line
0:08:50 > 0:08:52of footballing clashes between the two nations.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55The most recent, in the second round of France '98,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58had produced a wonder goal by Michael Owen,
0:08:58 > 0:08:59a red card for Beckham,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02and a penalty shoot out victory for Argentina.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Four years on, they would renew their rivalry
0:09:09 > 0:09:12under the watchful eye of the world's leading referee -
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Pierluigi Collina.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- So, finally.- Yes.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19How is that, the football, it's OK?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Beckham and Diego Simeone came face-to-face once again.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33The latter had contributed to the Englishman's sending off
0:09:33 > 0:09:35four years earlier.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Beckham could be dangerous,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48but the man Argentina feared most was Michael Owen.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Gabriel Batistuta was spearheading Argentina's attack.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Tempo!

0:10:33 > 0:10:34Four years earlier,

0:10:43 > 0:10:45Now his country's captain,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48redemption was just a clean strike of the ball away.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52WHISTLE BLOWS
0:11:14 > 0:11:18England continued to make the running in the second half.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Bielsa had introduced Pablo Aimar -
0:11:34 > 0:11:37a modern-day Maradona of sorts.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Aimar was at the heart of the Argentine attempts
0:11:46 > 0:11:49to salvage a draw, a result which would suit them more than England.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Seaman's save would prove decisive.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09FULL-TIME WHISTLE BLOWS
0:12:10 > 0:12:14England's 1-0 victory was their first over Argentina
0:12:14 > 0:12:17in the World Cup Finals since 1966.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20They would be less impressive in the 0-0 draw with Nigeria,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23but that point was sufficient to see them through.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27As for Argentina,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30they would need to beat Sweden to join England in the second round.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Of the 25 finalists who'd yet to lift the trophy,
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Spain or Portugal were most likely to join the exclusive club.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Spain, the World Cup's perennial underachiever's,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59had won their opening game at the Finals
0:12:59 > 0:13:00for the first time since 1950.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07They cruised through the group stages.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13As for their Iberian neighbours,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15this was a first World Cup Finals appearance for Luis Figo
0:13:15 > 0:13:19and the rest of the golden generation of Portuguese players.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23At their age, it also promised to be their last.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26They would open their campaign against the USA.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36The events of September 11th had put the United States
0:13:36 > 0:13:38and its citizens on high alert.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40The country's footballers were no exception,
0:13:40 > 0:13:43and the already high levels of security were stepped up
0:13:43 > 0:13:46for the American squad's arrival in Korea.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52A small army saw them safely through Incheon Airport
0:13:52 > 0:13:54and watched over Bruce Arena and his players
0:13:54 > 0:13:56for the duration of their stay.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05That included their visit to Suwon's World Cup stadium,
0:14:05 > 0:14:07which would witness one of the tournament's
0:14:07 > 0:14:09most exciting encounters.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23The first name on the score was John O'Brien.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42The bizarre own goal by Jorge Costa,
0:14:42 > 0:14:46and after 29 minutes of their opening game, the USA had scored
0:14:46 > 0:14:50more goals than they'd managed in three matches at France '98.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Things soon went from bad to worse for Portugal.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Luck may have deserted them,
0:15:13 > 0:15:15but at least Portugal had time on their side.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Beto scored Portugal's first goal, and it wouldn't be their last.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Unfortunately, we went in at half-time a little disappointed.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35We gave up that goal right before half with the corner kick.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40But it was 3-1, so we felt we were still in a good position in the game,
0:15:40 > 0:15:42naturally, up two goals.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Portugal's a great team and they weren't going to lie down and die.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Portugal did score a second, with the help of the USA's Jeff Agoos.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05But it wouldn't be enough.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12It was unbelievable. It was a little bit of a misty night. Asian fog.
0:16:12 > 0:16:1420 minutes, you're 3-0 up on Portugal.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16It didn't feel like it was actually happening.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19It felt like it was a dream.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Sure enough, we won that game 3-2, and I think that set us up
0:16:22 > 0:16:24for some more good results during the World Cup.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27# Ole, ole, ole, ole
0:16:27 > 0:16:29# USA
0:16:29 > 0:16:30# USA... #
0:16:30 > 0:16:33It was proving to be a tournament full of surprises.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40With the competition well under way,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43it was time for the co-hosts to join the party.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46The excitement had been growing on both sides of the Sea of Japan.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51Belgium lay in wait of Nakata and co, whilst Korea would face Poland.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Japan, the Asian Cup holders, would be the first to appear.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Their French coach, Philippe Troussier,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08was setting his sights on a place in the second round.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Lofty ambitions for a nation that had failed to register
0:17:11 > 0:17:14a single point on its World Cup debut for years earlier.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30After a disappointing opening,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32the game burst into life in the second half.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Not the start Japan had demanded.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51They weren't behind for long.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06The momentum was now with Japan.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Eight minutes later, Junichi Inamoto took centre stage.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35But that wasn't the end of the scoring.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Troussier was not amused.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Inamoto had a goal disallowed soon after
0:18:51 > 0:18:53and Japan had to settle for a 2-2 draw.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59TRANSLATION: I think that on the balance of play,
0:18:59 > 0:19:01it's fair to say that it was two points lost.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07But, at the same time, I felt as though it was a point won.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09It was an important souvenir.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13The 2-2 draw was very important, as it enabled us
0:19:13 > 0:19:15to win our first World Cup point,
0:19:15 > 0:19:21and it created a wave of optimism that carried us into our second game.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28As Japan began celebrating its first World Cup point,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31in Korea fans were gathering throughout the country
0:19:31 > 0:19:33to witness their team's clash with Poland.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Guus Hiddink's squad had been preparing together for these
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Finals for several months.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43In that time, the Dutch coach had put his players
0:19:43 > 0:19:46on strengthening programmes, changed their diets
0:19:46 > 0:19:50and radically altered the way they approached international football.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I had analysed the preparation in previous tournaments,
0:19:53 > 0:19:59World Cup tournaments, and there was always the preparation against,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02with all respect, second-rated nations.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08I chose the tough way, and to meet a lot of opposition,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10not just in Korea, but also worldwide,
0:20:10 > 0:20:15with the danger and risk, for sure, that we lose some games.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19But the experience the players gained in those games
0:20:19 > 0:20:21was tremendous, and it paid off at the end.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Just 35 minutes after the final whistle had been
0:20:26 > 0:20:30blown on Japan's opening game, Korea emerged for the start
0:20:30 > 0:20:32of what a nation hoped would be a great adventure.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Fresh from his re-election victory,
0:20:39 > 0:20:43FIFA President Sepp Blatter passed on his good wishes.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47In their five previous World Cup appearances,
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Korea had failed to win a single game.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54They dared not contemplate a repeat performance on home soil.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Veteran striker Hwang Sun-hong's 50th goal for his country
0:21:10 > 0:21:12was a sign of things to come.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Poland's good form in qualifying had long since deserted them
0:21:20 > 0:21:24and they appeared to freeze in the cauldron of colour and sound.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39The second half was just eight minutes old when Korea struck again.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02There was no let up for Poland.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10FULL-TIME WHISTLE BLOWS
0:22:13 > 0:22:16The first World Cup victory at their 15th attempt.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21CHANTING
0:22:46 > 0:22:49After 44 years of trying,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51China was finally dining at football's top table.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Bora Milutinovic's team had started with a defeat,
0:22:57 > 0:22:592-0 against Costa Rica,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02the nation he'd coached at the Finals in Italy in 1990.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Next up - Brazil.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12The Chinese squad had been followed to Korea
0:23:12 > 0:23:15by an estimated 25,000 fans,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18many of whom had paid the equivalent of a year's salary
0:23:18 > 0:23:19to cheer their heroes on.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Also lending the support, for the Brazil game at least,
0:23:25 > 0:23:29would be a television audience back home approaching 700 million.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37TRANSLATION: From the moment we qualified,
0:23:37 > 0:23:41there was huge pressure on us
0:23:41 > 0:23:44because this was going to be our first World Cup appearance.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50It was a great opportunity and the realisation of everyone's dream.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56We had a young team, and that meant we felt the pressure more.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02We wore worried about not playing well, worried about making
0:24:02 > 0:24:06mistakes, worried that the fans would turn against us.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10There were a lot of things on our mind.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Victory for Brazil and they'd be as good as through to the second round.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28There was no sign of pressure from the Chinese
0:24:28 > 0:24:30in the opening exchanges.
0:24:37 > 0:24:4015 minutes in, Brazil were awarded a free kick.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45It was Roberto Carlos territory.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55China's not so great wall was easily breached.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Brazil were in the ascendency.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Rivaldo added a second.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31The floodgates were well and truly open.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01China were playing for pride, but that soon took another hammering.
0:26:06 > 0:26:084-0 after 55 minutes.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15It was in danger of becoming a rout.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48China had nothing to show for their endeavours.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56They would also lose to Turkey,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59and headed home without a point or a goal to their name.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Brazil marched on to Round Two.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Italy had started well with a 2-0 victory over Ecuador,
0:27:15 > 0:27:19but their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Croatia in their second outing
0:27:19 > 0:27:23had put their qualification for the knockout stages in doubt.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29TRANSLATION: We were forced to field the two key members of our squad -
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Nesta and Cannavaro,
0:27:32 > 0:27:34who unfortunately were already on yellow cards.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40In addition, our disallowed goal against Croatia
0:27:40 > 0:27:43had put our qualification hopes in jeopardy.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Had we already been sure of our place in the second round,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49I could have rested these two players,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52who would have been vital for the game against Korea.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Italy had the ball in the net in the 13th minute.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06But that too was ruled out for offside.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16Totti was the next to try his luck.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Alessandro Del Piero was growing impatient.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39The Juventus striker had made just one substitute appearance so far
0:28:39 > 0:28:41and was again watching from the sidelines
0:28:41 > 0:28:43when Jared Borgetti headed Mexico into the lead.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53CHEERING
0:29:00 > 0:29:02INAUDIBLE
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Italy needed a win to be sure of progressing.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Anything less, and they'd have to rely on Ecuador defeating Croatia.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35With less than a quarter of an hour remaining,
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Del Piero finally got the call from Trapattoni.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Cometh the hour, cometh the man.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Ecuador's victory and Del Piero's equaliser
0:30:01 > 0:30:05ensured that Italy joined Mexico in the last 16.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06But they'd have to play a lot better
0:30:06 > 0:30:10if they were to realise a nation's dream of a fourth World Cup triumph.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Despite just taking one point from two games,
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Roger Lemerre and his French squad had a spring in their step -
0:30:26 > 0:30:30the reason, Zinedine Zidane was set to play for the world champions
0:30:30 > 0:30:32in the make-or-break meeting with Denmark.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Victory by two clear goals and France would progress.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Anything less and they'd become the first defending champions
0:30:42 > 0:30:46since Brazil in 1966 to exit the Finals at the group stages.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Among those watching were Aime Jacquet,
0:30:50 > 0:30:53France's World Cup winning coach, and Thierry Henry,
0:30:53 > 0:30:56who had been sent off in the 0-0 draw with Uruguay.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19Where Zizou went Denmark followed.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Morten Olsen had deployed an extra midfielder
0:31:24 > 0:31:26to make life difficult for Zidane.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37The tactic appeared to be working.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56TRANSLATION: It was the Danes who scored the first goal.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Now we were in real trouble.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03It was difficult enough to try and win the game by two clear goals,
0:32:03 > 0:32:07now we had to score three times if we were to qualify.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14They certainly had the chances.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25And they did, of course, have Zidane.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30But the great man wasn't fully fit,
0:32:30 > 0:32:33and the French tactic of giving him the ball at every turn
0:32:33 > 0:32:36backfired against a well-organised Danish team
0:32:36 > 0:32:39that had taken four points from its first two games.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42HE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:33:01 > 0:33:02Unlike their opponents.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18France were eliminated.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20They bowed out of the tournament with just one point
0:33:20 > 0:33:22and without scoring a single goal.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31TRANSLATION: It's inexplicable,
0:33:31 > 0:33:34because we did not just have the chance to score one goal,
0:33:34 > 0:33:36we had chances to score several.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42If I had a rational explanation for any of it,
0:33:42 > 0:33:44I'd be a happy man.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48He didn't, he wasn't, and France headed for home
0:33:48 > 0:33:51with the worst record of any previous World Cup winners.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Senegal! Senegal! Senegal! Senegal!
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Senegal were the favourites to join Denmark in the last 16,
0:34:05 > 0:34:09and their first half performance in their final group game
0:34:09 > 0:34:11against Uruguay appeared to justify that billing.

0:34:20 > 0:34:21CHEERING
0:34:42 > 0:34:46When a point would do, Senegal were looking good to claim all three.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55TRANSLATION: At half-time I told the players to be careful,
0:34:55 > 0:34:58because 3-0 is possibly the easiest lead to overcome.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16We did the worst thing possible and conceded an early goal.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32So Uruguay had got it back to 3-1. They were throwing everything at us.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34We missed a chance to go 4-1 ahead
0:35:34 > 0:35:37and then they scored a second goal to make it 3-2.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41The whole team started to panic.
0:35:48 > 0:35:49We stopped attacking
0:35:49 > 0:35:52and seemed frightened of making mistakes in defence.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53Uruguay made it 3-3.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55They nearly created a huge shock
0:35:55 > 0:35:57as they had another chance near the end.
0:36:11 > 0:36:123-3 the final score.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16Senegal had qualified for the second round, but only just.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23For Senegal. OK? For Senegal.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42HE SPEAKS FRENCH
0:36:45 > 0:36:46With France eliminated,
0:36:46 > 0:36:50Argentina's passage to the final appeared that much easier,
0:36:50 > 0:36:53so long as they themselves could survive the group stages.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56As things stood, they would need to beat Sweden
0:36:56 > 0:36:58to be certain of progressing.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06Bielsa made four changes to the team that had lost to England.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Back came Claudio Lopez and in from the start was Pablo Aimar.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21As against Nigeria, Argentina it was who made most of the running.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34THEY CHANT: Argentina! Argentina! Argentina!
0:37:35 > 0:37:39Aimar, an adventurous replacement for Veron, was running the show.
0:37:49 > 0:37:50INAUDIBLE
0:37:54 > 0:37:56A point would suffice for Sweden.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Three, though, would be better.

0:38:33 > 0:38:37Two goals in 31 minutes was by no means beyond this Argentine team.

0:38:57 > 0:38:59Two minutes from time...
0:39:00 > 0:39:02..penalty.
0:39:15 > 0:39:161-1.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17But that's how it would end.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24TRANSLATION: We headed home after the first round when everyone had great
0:39:24 > 0:39:27hopes of us reaching the final and becoming world champions.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29Especially the players.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32We were eliminated early,
0:39:32 > 0:39:35and I don't know whether to say undeservedly,
0:39:35 > 0:39:38because to say that would annoy some people.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43Maybe it was bad luck. It remains a bad memory.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46I think we had what it takes to go a lot further.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Much had been made of Cameroon's chances of doing as well
0:40:06 > 0:40:08as they had at Italia '90.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10But final preparations had been chaotic.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13It had taken the African champions five days
0:40:13 > 0:40:15to complete the journey to Japan.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Their German coach, Winnie Schafer, had pulled them round, however,
0:40:20 > 0:40:24and despite taking four points from their opening two fixtures,
0:40:24 > 0:40:26they were likely to need a victory against Germany
0:40:26 > 0:40:28to keep their dream alive.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36As for their opponents, they too were on four points.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38It would have been six and certain qualification had
0:40:38 > 0:40:41they not conceded a late equaliser to Ireland.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47TRANSLATION: We would have preferred to have beaten Ireland,
0:40:47 > 0:40:49but they were a good team.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53We got a draw and as a result of that it all came down to the last game.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05The Africans began well enough.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12But good skill soon gave way to a string of fouls.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35After 40 minutes, Carsten Ramelow received his second yellow card.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40TRANSLATION: At half-time we were a man down
0:41:40 > 0:41:43and fully aware that we couldn't afford to lose.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46The game was on a knife edge.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49You were either on your way home or you were going to finish
0:41:49 > 0:41:51top of the group and move on.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Outnumbered but by no means outplayed,
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Germany opened the scoring through substitute Marco Bode.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Cameroon had their moments.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35But after a second yellow card for Patrick Suffo had cancelled out
0:42:35 > 0:42:39Cameroon's numerical advantage, Germany sensed an opportunity.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56A fifth goal in three games for Miroslav Klose.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- TRANSLATION:- Despite having a man sent off at 0-0,
0:43:04 > 0:43:07we played so well in the second half with ten men,
0:43:07 > 0:43:10we even surprised Cameroon with how well we coped.
0:43:10 > 0:43:14Oliver Kahn had a great game and many others played above themselves.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17It was an excellent performance and we benefitted greatly from that.
0:43:35 > 0:43:38The White Witch Doctor was performing miracles.
0:43:41 > 0:43:45CROWD SINGS JAPANESE NATIONAL ANTHEM
0:43:56 > 0:43:59Philippe Troussier's team followed up its first World Cup point against
0:43:59 > 0:44:03Belgium with its first World Cup victory -
0:44:03 > 0:44:04a 1-0 triumph over Russia.
0:44:10 > 0:44:14Inamoto's second half goal was well-received not only in Yokohama
0:44:14 > 0:44:17but also at various locations throughout the country,
0:44:17 > 0:44:20where fans had gathered to watch the game on big screens.
0:44:27 > 0:44:31Five days on, an expectant crowd had gathered in Osaka,
0:44:31 > 0:44:35where a point against Tunisia would take Japan through to the last 16.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58Tunisia had impressed in their draw with Belgium
0:44:58 > 0:45:02and still had a mathematical chance of going through,
0:45:02 > 0:45:04but they'd have to win by two clear goals.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30Hidetoshi Nakata was living up to his superstar billing
0:45:30 > 0:45:32in Japan's midfield.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45Tunisia were being overrun.
0:46:02 > 0:46:04A second Japanese goal was on the cards.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19Nakata - the hero.
0:46:31 > 0:46:33TRANSLATION: For me, in Osaka against Tunisia,
0:46:33 > 0:46:36there was a feeling that we had completed the circle.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40It was the ultimate reward for all of our hard work
0:46:40 > 0:46:43and preparation over the previous four years.
0:46:45 > 0:46:50That victory over Tunisia meant that we had realised our goal.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58Japan had indeed qualified for the knockout stages.
0:47:06 > 0:47:10The pressure was now on Korea to join their co-hosts
0:47:10 > 0:47:11in the second round.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14Having drawn 1-1 with the USA four days earlier,
0:47:14 > 0:47:17a point was all they needed from the game with a resurgent Portugal.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28Joao Pinto made Korea's task that much easier.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56Having incensed them just minutes earlier,
0:47:56 > 0:48:00the Argentine referee came to Portugal's rescue on this occasion.
0:48:09 > 0:48:12Pauleta had scored this World Cup's second hat-trick
0:48:12 > 0:48:14in Portugal's 4-0 victory over Poland.
0:48:23 > 0:48:28Eh! Don't play the ball. Play it over there. Play, play, play.
0:48:32 > 0:48:35Korea's numerical advantage was beginning to tell.
0:48:42 > 0:48:45Pauleta remained Portugal's biggest threat.
0:48:49 > 0:48:53A second yellow card for Beto reduced the Europeans to nine men.
0:48:54 > 0:48:55And then...
0:49:19 > 0:49:22It was time for Figo to prove his worth.
0:49:22 > 0:49:23WHISTLE BLOWS
0:49:37 > 0:49:39The sands of time were running out for Portugal.
0:49:44 > 0:49:46TRANSLATION: We didn't play to the best of our ability
0:49:46 > 0:49:51and ended up losing when a draw would have been enough to see us qualify.
0:49:55 > 0:49:59There were some strange moments in the game and they prevented us
0:49:59 > 0:50:03not only from winning but also from drawing the match.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11It was a game in which almost everything happened.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17Perhaps it was a game we were not supposed to win.
0:50:22 > 0:50:26Having waited so long to appear on the game's greatest stage,
0:50:26 > 0:50:30Portugal's golden generation had failed to live up to expectations.
0:50:35 > 0:50:37Their demise was disappointing for the neutral
0:50:37 > 0:50:39but good news for the Americans
0:50:39 > 0:50:41who'd progressed at Portugal's expense.
0:50:47 > 0:50:48So...
0:50:48 > 0:50:53after 48 matches in just 15 days, 16 teams were heading for home.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56They included the champions France, not
0:50:56 > 0:50:59so much disappointed as dazed and stunned -
0:50:59 > 0:51:01"How on Earth had it happened?"
0:51:03 > 0:51:05There was heartache for Africa -
0:51:05 > 0:51:09Nigeria, Cameroon, Tunisia, South Africa, all gone.
0:51:09 > 0:51:10It was up to Senegal now.
0:51:12 > 0:51:15Of the two newcomers China had perhaps expected more
0:51:15 > 0:51:17than they had achieved.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19They had learned the hard way.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26And for Slovenia it ended painfully. Zlatko Zahovic
0:51:26 > 0:51:30was sent home after a bust-up with his coach, Srecko Katanec,
0:51:30 > 0:51:33who announced his intention to resign ahead of Slovenia's
0:51:33 > 0:51:35third-straight defeat.
0:51:39 > 0:51:40SINGING
0:51:40 > 0:51:43But even in defeat some had left a lasting impression.
0:51:43 > 0:51:47South Africa had enjoyed their stay and added a note of cheerfulness
0:51:47 > 0:51:48to the World Cup.
0:51:51 > 0:51:52SINGING
0:51:55 > 0:51:59Only two teams had emerged from the group stages unscathed.
0:51:59 > 0:52:00Spain was one of them.
0:52:00 > 0:52:03Perhaps this was to be the occasion when they, at last,
0:52:03 > 0:52:04achieved their potential?
0:52:05 > 0:52:06The other was Brazil
0:52:06 > 0:52:10and Luiz Felipe Scolari's team seemed to have rediscovered
0:52:10 > 0:52:14their appetite for the big occasion. Whatever their chances
0:52:14 > 0:52:18they and 15 other nations were now just four games from glory.
0:52:20 > 0:52:21PLAYER SHOUTS
0:52:28 > 0:52:31Reaching the knockout stages was a momentous achievement
0:52:31 > 0:52:33for Senegal, who had been celebrating long and hard
0:52:33 > 0:52:36since their game against Uruguay.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38Sweden would be their opponents in the second round
0:52:38 > 0:52:41and it was hoped the Africans hadn't been overdoing it.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45CHANTING
0:52:45 > 0:52:48They'd need all their energy in Oita where the temperature had reached
0:52:48 > 0:52:5228 degrees before kickoff and where golden goal extra time
0:52:52 > 0:52:54would be needed t separate the two teams.

0:53:09 > 0:53:10COMMENTATOR SPEAKS SWEDISH
0:53:21 > 0:53:24El Hadji Diouf's goals had been largely responsible
0:53:24 > 0:53:27for Senegal's progress to these Finals.

0:55:56 > 0:55:58So often they'd underachieved at this level
0:55:58 > 0:56:01but on this occasion had eased through the group stages
0:56:01 > 0:56:04scoring three goals in each of their games.
0:56:07 > 0:56:10There was a relaxed atmosphere at their camp in the south of
0:56:10 > 0:56:13the Korean Peninsula where coach Jose Antonio Camacho
0:56:13 > 0:56:16had been preparing for the knockout stages.
0:56:17 > 0:56:18SINGING IN SPANISH
0:56:20 > 0:56:22COME ON IRELAND!
0:56:22 > 0:56:25Their opponents Ireland had recovered from the loss
0:56:25 > 0:56:27of their captain, Roy Keane,
0:56:27 > 0:56:30who had been thrown off the squad after a confrontation
0:56:30 > 0:56:33with coach Mick McCarthy before their opening game.
0:56:33 > 0:56:36They'd surprised even their most fervent supporters by making

0:56:40 > 0:56:42What the Irish players lacked in skill
0:56:42 > 0:56:45they more than made up for in spirit
0:56:45 > 0:56:47and their fans could expect their heroes to give it
0:56:47 > 0:56:48everything they had against Spain.
0:56:51 > 0:56:52Camacho had his faith.
0:56:54 > 0:56:56Ireland had Robbie Keane.
0:57:01 > 0:57:03A promising start by Mick McCarthy's men.
0:57:07 > 0:57:08But it didn't last.
0:57:15 > 0:57:18Just eight minutes in Fernando Morientes scored
0:57:18 > 0:57:20Spain's tenth goal of the tournament.
0:57:24 > 0:57:27Ireland were grateful to the officials for disallowing
0:57:27 > 0:57:28three Spanish goals
0:57:28 > 0:57:31and were therefore still in the game in the second half.
0:57:34 > 0:57:38Swedish referee Anders Frisk offered Ireland another lifeline.
0:57:46 > 0:57:47Come on!
0:57:47 > 0:57:49Ian Harte to bring them level...
0:58:08 > 0:58:11Spain were again denied by the assistant referee.
0:58:12 > 0:58:14Raul adjudged offside on this occasion.
0:58:20 > 0:58:22Ireland continued to press.

0:59:05 > 0:59:07Robbie Keane saved Ian Harte's blushes
0:59:07 > 0:59:09and it was on to extra time
0:59:09 > 0:59:11which Spain would have to face with ten men
0:59:11 > 0:59:14following an injury to substitute Albelda.
0:59:17 > 0:59:19An injured Raul could only watch from the bench
0:59:19 > 0:59:22as both teams came close to scoring the golden goal.
0:59:27 > 0:59:29It was down to penalties now.
0:59:38 > 0:59:41After four misses and with Spain leading 2-1,
0:59:41 > 0:59:45Valeron had the chance to put his team into the quarterfinals.

1:00:04 > 1:00:06Steve Finnan kept Irish hopes alive.
1:00:21 > 1:00:23After five missed penalties in the shoot-out
1:00:23 > 1:00:27and six in the game as a whole, Gaizka Mendieta's goal
1:00:27 > 1:00:28sent Spain through
1:00:28 > 1:00:31and left Ireland to wonder what might have been.
1:00:39 > 1:00:43Whilst the Irish said their goodbyes, a relieved Spanish squad
1:00:43 > 1:00:45continued to dream of a first World Cup triumph.
1:00:59 > 1:01:02Belgium were appearing in their sixth-consecutive finals
1:01:02 > 1:01:05and, having squeezed through the group stages,
1:01:05 > 1:01:09were rewarded, if that's the word, with a game against Brazil.
1:01:12 > 1:01:14There were given little chance of stopping Scolari's squad
1:01:14 > 1:01:18who'd scored 11 goals in their three group matches.
1:01:18 > 1:01:21But in this tournament of shocks improbable dreams were being
1:01:21 > 1:01:23realised all the time.
1:01:28 > 1:01:33Having overcome Denmark 3-0 just 48 hours earlier, David Beckham
1:01:33 > 1:01:36and his England team-mates awaited the winners.
1:01:39 > 1:01:41The early evidence suggested that Belgium would provide
1:01:41 > 1:01:42the opposition.
1:01:50 > 1:01:53Ronaldo was spearheading the Brazilian attack
1:01:53 > 1:01:57and linked up with the other two Rs, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho
1:01:57 > 1:01:59for their first meaningful shot on goal.
1:02:07 > 1:02:09Belgium scored first.
1:02:14 > 1:02:15Or, at least, Wilmots thought he had.
1:02:27 > 1:02:30Ronaldo continued to pose a threat at one end.
1:02:42 > 1:02:46At the other, Wilmots was bringing the best out of Marcos.
1:02:52 > 1:02:55Over an hour played and still no score.

1:03:00 > 1:03:02HE SHOUTS IN FLEMISH
1:03:10 > 1:03:14- TRANSLATION:- It was a difficult game.
1:03:14 > 1:03:17In my opinion, it was our hardest game of the World Cup.
1:03:17 > 1:03:21Belgium had a number of chances to score. It was tough.
1:03:21 > 1:03:23But we managed to get a goal in the second half
1:03:23 > 1:03:27and from then on things began to pick for Brazil.
1:03:29 > 1:03:33Towards the end Ronaldo scored the second and we knew,
1:03:33 > 1:03:35at that moment, that we were safely through.
1:03:40 > 1:03:42Ronaldo's fifth goal of the tournament
1:03:42 > 1:03:44put him one clear of Rivaldo
1:03:44 > 1:03:46and level with Germany's Miroslav Klose
1:03:46 > 1:03:48in the race for the World Cup's Golden Boot.
1:03:54 > 1:03:58More importantly, it booked Brazil a place in the quarterfinals.
1:04:00 > 1:04:01England were next.
1:04:12 > 1:04:15Whilst Philippe Troussier's team had captured the imagination
1:04:15 > 1:04:18of the Japanese public, some of the visiting fans had been
1:04:18 > 1:04:20drawn to the Fujinomori Shrine in Kyoto
1:04:20 > 1:04:24where Buddhist monks could be found playing kemari,
1:04:24 > 1:04:28an early form of football first practised here some 1,400 years ago.
1:04:34 > 1:04:37It was a far cry from the scenes of joy and celebration
1:04:37 > 1:04:40that had followed Japan's victory over Tunisia,
1:04:40 > 1:04:42a result that helped them
1:04:42 > 1:04:45qualify for the second round for the first time in their history.
1:04:51 > 1:04:55Four days on, the monsoon rains had arrived ahead of Japan's meeting
1:04:55 > 1:04:56with Turkey.
1:04:56 > 1:04:58It was a game that was too close to call,
1:04:58 > 1:05:01although the winners would stand a great chance of reaching
1:05:01 > 1:05:03the semifinal after Senegal's defeat of Sweden.
1:05:07 > 1:05:09Troussier changed his tactics for the game -
1:05:09 > 1:05:10a move that seemed to confuse
1:05:10 > 1:05:13his own players more than the opposition.
1:05:17 > 1:05:20Turkey had failed to progress past the group stages
1:05:20 > 1:05:23in their only previous World Cup appearance in 1954.
1:05:28 > 1:05:29CHEERING
1:05:31 > 1:05:34Umit Davala's early goal gave this team a great

1:05:55 > 1:05:59Alex's free kick was his last contribution of the afternoon,
1:05:59 > 1:06:00he and Inamoto were replaced at half time
1:06:00 > 1:06:03as Troussier reverted to the system that had served them so well
1:06:03 > 1:06:04in the group stages.
1:06:10 > 1:06:12Japan needed Nakata now more than ever.
1:06:26 > 1:06:29They certainly had their chances but this was not the Japan
1:06:29 > 1:06:32that had impressed the watching world earlier in the tournament.
1:06:41 > 1:06:45- TRANSLATION:- It was, obviously, fantastic to play
1:06:45 > 1:06:47against Japan in Japan.
1:06:47 > 1:06:51Most of the fans in the stadium were supporting them and they
1:06:51 > 1:06:52were, obviously, the favourites to win
1:06:52 > 1:06:54but we did well in that game.
1:06:57 > 1:07:01We were tactically very clever and after we'd gone 1-0 up
1:07:01 > 1:07:04we continued to control the game and, I think,
1:07:04 > 1:07:05we deserved to win.
1:07:11 > 1:07:14- TRANSLATION:- Today I felt very proud to have
1:07:14 > 1:07:16been the coach of Japan, to have worn the Japanese colours
1:07:16 > 1:07:18for the past four years.
1:07:22 > 1:07:25I'd like to thank all those who've helped me,
1:07:25 > 1:07:28I'd like to thank my players, all my staff,
1:07:28 > 1:07:32all those who've supported me and I say "Bravo" to this Japanese
1:07:32 > 1:07:36team which has behaved with dignity right to the very end.
1:07:36 > 1:07:39As I said, I am proud to have been their coach.

1:07:48 > 1:07:51On June 18th all of Korea faced the prospect of being
1:07:51 > 1:07:53woken from its dream.

1:07:55 > 1:07:58to top a group that included Portugal, Poland and the USA.
1:08:01 > 1:08:04But they, surely, couldn't beat Italy?
1:08:04 > 1:08:05SCREAMING
1:08:05 > 1:08:09The whole nation was talking about the last 16. In every paper...
1:08:09 > 1:08:11I couldn't read them but you saw "16, 16, 16..."
1:08:13 > 1:08:17so that reaching there, that was enough for many, many people.
1:08:17 > 1:08:20For many, many people it was also enough for the first
1:08:20 > 1:08:21win against Poland.
1:08:21 > 1:08:25For me now... I thought, "This team can do a little bit more."
1:08:27 > 1:08:30Daejeon's World Cup stadium was full to capacity
1:08:30 > 1:08:33and the majority of the 38,000 fans inside
1:08:33 > 1:08:36were sporting, the now regulation, red T-shirts.
1:08:40 > 1:08:43This promised to be a clash of footballing cultures -
1:08:43 > 1:08:46the attack-minded Koreans against the defensive Italians
1:08:46 > 1:08:49who'd been given several reminders about their predecessors'
1:08:49 > 1:08:53defeat by North Korea in '66.
1:08:53 > 1:08:57- TRANSLATION:- I remember everything about the game.
1:08:57 > 1:09:01I remember my players going up to the referee before the game to say,
1:09:01 > 1:09:04"Good evening." He chose to ignore them.
1:09:06 > 1:09:11I remember perfectly how we had the penalty awarded against us
1:09:11 > 1:09:13in the first few minutes.
1:09:13 > 1:09:15It was a bad decision.

1:09:50 > 1:09:5313 minutes after Ahn's penalty miss Italy were ahead.
1:10:08 > 1:10:10Tommasi should have increased that lead.
1:10:15 > 1:10:16Come on! Come on!
1:10:19 > 1:10:22Korea were in danger of going the same way as Japan.
1:10:31 > 1:10:32They still believed.

1:13:29 > 1:13:33Not only would they face Brazil in a World Cup quarterfinal,

1:13:57 > 1:14:00For now their identity would remain a secret.
1:14:00 > 1:14:01- OK.- OK.

1:15:47 > 1:15:50CHEERING
1:15:51 > 1:15:54The tournament's best attack had breached the tournament's

1:15:58 > 1:16:00Meanwhile, back in Rio...
1:16:03 > 1:16:04COMMENTATOR SPEAKS PORTUGUESE
1:16:04 > 1:16:04CHEERING
1:16:18 > 1:16:21England now had to do what they hadn't done all tournament -
1:16:21 > 1:16:22score in the second half.
1:16:27 > 1:16:30First, though, Seaman and co had a free kick to defend.
1:16:31 > 1:16:32WHISTLE BLOWS
1:16:36 > 1:16:37No!
1:16:39 > 1:16:42- TRANSLATION:- I was charged with taking all the free kicks
1:16:42 > 1:16:44around the penalty area
1:16:44 > 1:16:47and Cafu had already mentioned to me
1:16:47 > 1:16:50that Seaman tended to stand a little way off his line.
1:16:51 > 1:16:55He told me to keep an eye on him and so I did.
1:16:55 > 1:16:58A few minutes before that free kick he said to me again,
1:16:58 > 1:17:00"Have a look at the goalkeeper."
1:17:02 > 1:17:04So when I came to take the kick I looked at him
1:17:04 > 1:17:09and decided to go for the shot. Of course, I had no intention
1:17:09 > 1:17:11of it curling in the way it did,
1:17:11 > 1:17:14although I had planned to get the ball over his head.
1:17:14 > 1:17:18The shot was perfect, I had managed to do what I had intended.
1:17:21 > 1:17:23Seaman would never live it down.
1:17:31 > 1:17:34Seven minutes' later a red card signalled the end of
1:17:34 > 1:17:37Ronaldinho's afternoon. Well... almost.
1:17:37 > 1:17:39He'd be required to give blood
1:17:39 > 1:17:41and urine samples at the end of the match.
1:17:43 > 1:17:47- TRANSLATION:- It was a game in which everything
1:17:47 > 1:17:50happened to me. First of all I laid on a beautiful pass
1:17:50 > 1:17:55which set up the goal for Rivaldo. Then, I scored the free kick,
1:17:55 > 1:17:59and finally, I got my self sent off. It was quite a game.
1:17:59 > 1:18:00I'll never forget it.
1:18:03 > 1:18:08Despite their numerical advantage England created few clear-cut chances.
1:18:13 > 1:18:16Nicky Butt's header proved to be their last effort on goal
1:18:16 > 1:18:17in this World Cup.
1:18:21 > 1:18:25- TRANSLATION:- My favourite match, apart from the final,
1:18:25 > 1:18:27was the game against England.
1:18:27 > 1:18:30Because it was a spectacular performance.
1:18:30 > 1:18:33And the defence played very well.
1:18:33 > 1:18:36It was also significant because, in that game,
1:18:36 > 1:18:39we achieved what I said we would before I left Brazil.
1:18:39 > 1:18:40Namely that we would
1:18:40 > 1:18:41reach the last four.
1:18:44 > 1:18:48So, for me as a coach, after what I had promised the Brazilian people
1:18:48 > 1:18:52it was far more important to beat England and reach the semifinal
1:18:52 > 1:18:54than to be crowned world champions.
1:18:57 > 1:18:59Before they could look forward to the semifinal,
1:18:59 > 1:19:02Cafu and Ronaldinho had an appointment with the
1:19:02 > 1:19:05doping control officers, along with England's Rio Ferdinand
1:19:05 > 1:19:06and Danny Mills.
1:19:09 > 1:19:12The whole process was overseen by Professor Jiri Dvorak,
1:19:12 > 1:19:16the chief medical officer for the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
1:19:17 > 1:19:22I check the numbers... here on the top.
1:19:22 > 1:19:25The taking of blood samples was a first for the World Cup Finals
1:19:25 > 1:19:28and was a move designed to detect the potential use of the
1:19:28 > 1:19:30banned substance EPO.
1:19:36 > 1:19:41In total, 256 players were tested during the 31 days of competition.
1:19:42 > 1:19:44All results were the same.
1:19:45 > 1:19:50OK, here we go. 22nd June. The results, Brazil, England.
1:19:50 > 1:19:55The urine and blood samples all negative, no banned substance.
1:19:58 > 1:20:03The United States had the worst record of all 32 nations at the
1:20:03 > 1:20:04'98 World Cup.
1:20:04 > 1:20:07Four years on lessons had been learnt.
1:20:07 > 1:20:09Their isolated residence in France had been swapped
1:20:09 > 1:20:14for a downtown hotel in Seoul. Wives and children had been invited along.
1:20:14 > 1:20:19They'd also been sightseeing, a trip to Korea's demilitarised zone
1:20:19 > 1:20:22one of several excursions the squad had undertaken.
1:20:24 > 1:20:27Their quarterfinal opponents Germany were growing in confidence
1:20:27 > 1:20:30after their defeat of Paraguay in the second round.
1:20:30 > 1:20:33Rudi Voller had succeeded in restoring pride
1:20:33 > 1:20:35in a team that had been vilified back home
1:20:35 > 1:20:37for its performances at Euro 2000
1:20:37 > 1:20:42and their 5-1 defeat by England during the qualifiers was now
1:20:42 > 1:20:43but a distant memory.
1:20:49 > 1:20:51There was a minute's silence before kickoff in memory of
1:20:51 > 1:20:56Fritz Walter, West Germany's 1954 World Cup-winning captain.
1:20:59 > 1:21:01We knew them well plus we have a number of players
1:21:01 > 1:21:03that play in Germany, have played against them and
1:21:03 > 1:21:07we felt that that's the team that we matched-up quite well against.
1:21:07 > 1:21:10We knew their strengths and weaknesses and we stepped on that field,
1:21:10 > 1:21:13really believing we could win the game and that's very critical
1:21:13 > 1:21:14in games at that level.
1:21:16 > 1:21:19America's Landon Donovan had a point to prove,
1:21:19 > 1:21:22having failed to make the breakthrough in Germany.
1:21:25 > 1:21:28But on his 50th appearance for Germany, Oliver Kahn
1:21:28 > 1:21:30was in no mood to hand out favours.
1:21:35 > 1:21:38The US had had just three days' rest since their victory
1:21:38 > 1:21:39over Mexico
1:21:39 > 1:21:43but appeared fresher than their opponents in the opening 45 minutes.
1:21:46 > 1:21:47HE SPEAKS GERMAN
1:21:49 > 1:21:50Hey, four, four!
1:21:52 > 1:21:56The Germans were up against it and therefore at their most dangerous.
1:21:57 > 1:21:58WHISTLE BLOWS
1:22:03 > 1:22:06The hours spent on the training ground had paid dividends.
1:22:12 > 1:22:15It was Michael Ballack's second goal of the tournament.
1:22:17 > 1:22:19INSTRUMENT BLARES
1:22:20 > 1:22:23Klose should have made it 2-0 before the break.
1:22:32 > 1:22:34The Americans had deserved their place in the last eight
1:22:34 > 1:22:37and were not yet ready to throw in the towel.
1:22:41 > 1:22:42Handball on the line.
1:22:46 > 1:22:48But the penalty wasn't given.
1:22:48 > 1:22:50WHISTLE BLOWING
1:22:50 > 1:22:51That was clearly right there.
1:22:51 > 1:22:55- TRANSLATION:- They bombarded us in the second half.
1:22:55 > 1:22:57They attacked from the first to the last minute
1:22:57 > 1:23:00and probably had more chances than we did.
1:23:00 > 1:23:02They nearly put us out.
1:23:03 > 1:23:05But we had taken the lead in the first half
1:23:05 > 1:23:08and that gave us strength and we killed the game,
1:23:08 > 1:23:13unlike against Ireland when we conceded a goal in the 90th minute.
1:23:14 > 1:23:19Add to that a bit of luck and Oliver Kahn who was fantastic in goal.
1:23:19 > 1:23:21He denied them on several occasions.
1:23:21 > 1:23:23In games like that you need a bit of luck
1:23:23 > 1:23:27if you're going to go far, even so, we deserved to win.
1:23:40 > 1:23:44Having seen of Portugal and Italy, Korea faced another European power -
1:23:44 > 1:23:47Spain, with a place in the semifinals up for grabs.
1:23:50 > 1:23:55Despite Raul's absence Spain came into the game as overwhelming favourites.
1:23:55 > 1:23:58TRANSLATION: We approached the game against Korea
1:23:58 > 1:24:01with a lot of respect, and caution.
1:24:01 > 1:24:05We knew that home advantage would make them very strong.
1:24:05 > 1:24:07The crowd had been a factor throughout
1:24:07 > 1:24:11and had affected the performances of the other opponents.
1:24:16 > 1:24:19The stadium in Gwangju, where the game was being played
1:24:19 > 1:24:20was full to capacity.
1:24:22 > 1:24:25As was the one in Busan where the match was being televised
1:24:25 > 1:24:26on the big screen.
1:24:29 > 1:24:31There were similar scenes in the capital Seoul.
1:24:31 > 1:24:34There millions had descended on the city centre
1:24:34 > 1:24:36to follow the action on another giant screen.
1:24:54 > 1:24:56They had little to cheer in the opening 90 minutes.
1:24:56 > 1:24:59And were grateful to the Egyptian referee who disallowed
1:24:59 > 1:25:02Baraja's header for a spot of pushing.
1:25:08 > 1:25:10Park Ji-Sung had Korea's best chance.
1:25:17 > 1:25:19But Casillas was more than equal to the task.
1:25:23 > 1:25:24HE SHOUTS IN SPANISH
1:25:27 > 1:25:28Then, in extra time...
1:25:34 > 1:25:36Spain were again denied.
1:25:36 > 1:25:38This time by the assistant referee who decided
1:25:38 > 1:25:40the ball had gone out of play.
1:25:49 > 1:25:52The match officials were blameless on this occasion.
1:25:52 > 1:25:54But as extra time reached its conclusion
1:25:54 > 1:25:57the Spanish players continued to plead their case.
1:26:00 > 1:26:03TRANSLATION: In Spain they criticised the referee a lot.
1:26:03 > 1:26:06I remember Joaquin sent over a cross before
1:26:06 > 1:26:08the ball had gone over the line.
1:26:09 > 1:26:12For those of us on the pitch it was very clear.
1:26:15 > 1:26:17A penalty shoot-out appeared to favour Spain
1:26:17 > 1:26:20who'd seen off Ireland in similar fashion, of course.
1:26:23 > 1:26:24WHISTLE BLOWS
1:26:30 > 1:26:32Hwang SunHong opened the scoring.
1:26:36 > 1:26:37But only just.
1:26:42 > 1:26:45- TRANSLATION:- I didn't have a particular strategy.
1:26:47 > 1:26:50Although there was a thought at the back of my mind
1:26:50 > 1:26:51that I shouldn't move
1:26:51 > 1:26:53before the ball was kicked.
1:26:54 > 1:26:56I knew that I had the ability to block,
1:26:56 > 1:26:58at least the two of the five shots
1:26:58 > 1:27:00because they were sure to be within my reach,
1:27:00 > 1:27:05which was about one metre either side of where I was standing.
1:27:07 > 1:27:11The first seven penalties all found the back of the net.
1:27:11 > 1:27:13Up fourth for Spain, Joaquin.
1:27:18 > 1:27:21CHEERING
1:27:28 > 1:27:31He had saved them against Ireland, could he do the same again?
1:27:35 > 1:27:39A nation - if not a continent, held its collective breath.
1:27:44 > 1:27:45WHISTLE BLOWS
1:27:49 > 1:27:51CHEERING
1:27:55 > 1:27:58Asia had a representative in the semifinals of the World Cup
1:27:58 > 1:28:01for the very first time.
1:28:01 > 1:28:02SCREAMING
1:28:20 > 1:28:24- TRANSLATION:- Defeating Spain meant just as much to me
1:28:24 > 1:28:26as our first victory against Poland.
1:28:30 > 1:28:34Having said that, there was a feeling of astonishment in the camp
1:28:34 > 1:28:39as we realised that we had just made World Cup history.
1:28:41 > 1:28:46We were, obviously, very happy but also extremely tired.
1:28:49 > 1:28:53Whilst Spain caught a flight back to Europe, Korea journeyed
1:28:53 > 1:28:55north to Seoul where news of their arrival
1:28:55 > 1:28:58had attracted thousands of fans to the team's hotel.
1:29:04 > 1:29:07SINGING IN KOREAN
1:29:20 > 1:29:23OK, gentlemen, well, welcome to our, our briefing.
1:29:23 > 1:29:26And this evening we are going to go over some of the,
1:29:26 > 1:29:31some of the points which have occurred after yesterday's matches.
1:29:31 > 1:29:32Throughout the tournament, George Cumming,
1:29:32 > 1:29:36FIFA's head of refereeing presided over a daily debriefing
1:29:36 > 1:29:38of the match officials.
1:29:38 > 1:29:41Topics were discussed and decisions analysed in an attempt
1:29:41 > 1:29:43to improve consistency.
1:29:43 > 1:29:46There's no doubt about the red card. It's a brilliant decision.
1:29:46 > 1:29:49Congratulation, great red card.
1:29:50 > 1:29:54Inevitably, mistakes had been made, some more serious than others
1:29:54 > 1:29:56and it was the assistant referees who came in
1:29:56 > 1:29:58for most criticism.
1:29:58 > 1:30:00We are watching the legs down here.
1:30:00 > 1:30:03On the whole, however, the standard of officiating at this tournament
1:30:03 > 1:30:06was proving to be higher than at any previous World Cup.
1:30:06 > 1:30:07Maybe...
1:30:07 > 1:30:09'Some wrong decisions were made, some wrong signals were made
1:30:09 > 1:30:10'by assistant referees.'
1:30:10 > 1:30:14I think, particularly, assistant referees and we've got to accept
1:30:14 > 1:30:17that this was a mistake and we've got to try to improve
1:30:17 > 1:30:20and lessen the number of mistakes that happen in the future.
1:30:27 > 1:30:30Oliver Kahn had been in imperious form for Germany throughout
1:30:30 > 1:30:31the competition.
1:30:31 > 1:30:34And was the main reason why the German players were now here for
1:30:34 > 1:30:37the duration of a tournament they'd expected to be watching
1:30:37 > 1:30:39on television by now.
1:30:47 > 1:30:49On this, their 15th World Cup appearance,
1:30:49 > 1:30:52Germany were about to play in their tenth semifinal.
1:30:52 > 1:30:54Their opponents - Korea.
1:30:54 > 1:30:58TRANSLATION: We were, obviously, well aware of the
1:30:58 > 1:31:00strengths of the Korean team.
1:31:00 > 1:31:02They had, after all, eliminated some top nations,
1:31:02 > 1:31:04albeit with a bit of good fortune.
1:31:06 > 1:31:09Nevertheless, they had played well. As in our previous games
1:31:09 > 1:31:14we weren't the outsiders but I'd say our chances were 50/50
1:31:14 > 1:31:16against the host nation
1:31:16 > 1:31:19but I knew that if we concentrated and kept things tight
1:31:19 > 1:31:22we'd have a good chance of winning the game.
1:31:24 > 1:31:28The now familiar sea of red washed over Seoul's World Cup stadium,
1:31:28 > 1:31:31the venue for Senegal's upset of France, of course.
1:31:39 > 1:31:42Germany's Carsten Ramelow had the game's first shot on goal.
1:31:48 > 1:31:51Lee WoonJae had long since idolised Oliver Kahn
1:31:51 > 1:31:54who continued to give a goalkeeping masterclass.
1:32:06 > 1:32:09Not even Klose could find a way past Lee.
1:32:18 > 1:32:21Germany's chances of winning the tournament were dealt a huge blow
1:32:21 > 1:32:22on 71 minutes.
1:32:25 > 1:32:27- TRANSLATION:- I could have picked up a yellow card
1:32:27 > 1:32:30against the USA and then I would have missed the semifinal.
1:32:30 > 1:32:34Maybe we wouldn't have qualified or maybe I would have been available
1:32:34 > 1:32:35for the final.
1:32:35 > 1:32:39But that's hypothetical, you just go out and play
1:32:39 > 1:32:42and either something happens or nothing happens at all.
1:32:42 > 1:32:46Obviously, when you do get a yellow card it's extremely disappointing
1:32:46 > 1:32:49because you know you are going to be suspended.
1:32:49 > 1:32:52It was a bitter pill to swallow, knowing that I couldn't take part
1:32:52 > 1:32:56in what would have been the biggest game of my career.
1:32:56 > 1:32:59CHANTING
1:33:05 > 1:33:09Despite his obvious disappointment, Ballack didn't let that decision
1:33:09 > 1:33:10affect his game.
1:33:17 > 1:33:18CHEERING
1:33:20 > 1:33:24Germany's number 13, who else, with the all-important first goal.
1:33:32 > 1:33:33Come on!
1:33:36 > 1:33:39Korea had twice scored late on against Italy
1:33:39 > 1:33:41and would get their chance here.
1:33:47 > 1:33:50Park's tired effort summed up Korea's evening.
1:33:50 > 1:33:54After the exertions of the past few weeks their legs had called time
1:33:54 > 1:33:57on one of the World Cup's great adventures.
1:33:59 > 1:34:03CHANTING
1:34:03 > 1:34:06The third-consecutive 1-0 win for Germany.
1:34:06 > 1:34:09They were through to their seventh World Cup final.
1:34:09 > 1:34:11Korea were out but so too was Ballack.
1:34:13 > 1:34:16TRANSLATION: I thanked him for what he'd done in that match and in
1:34:16 > 1:34:19the earlier games when he hadn't been 100% fit.
1:34:19 > 1:34:23He'd been fantastic. I tried to comfort him, but, as you can imagine,
1:34:23 > 1:34:24it was very difficult.
1:34:26 > 1:34:31Korea's dream was over. Any initial feelings of disappointment
1:34:31 > 1:34:34soon gave way to an enormous sense of pride.
1:34:34 > 1:34:37Reaching the semifinal had been a tremendous achievement
1:34:37 > 1:34:40and there was much for the fans, the players and their coach
1:34:40 > 1:34:41to look back on.
1:34:45 > 1:34:49There were many fantastic moments because it was, like, being in
1:34:49 > 1:34:54a tunnel of success and then it's very hard to pick out one moment
1:34:54 > 1:34:58but...the way players celebrated...
1:34:59 > 1:35:03after, after a goal, a decisive goal, was tremendous,
1:35:03 > 1:35:06because in the early days I couldn't see what their emotions were.
1:35:06 > 1:35:11But then they were going and being almost ecstatic.
1:35:11 > 1:35:16It was a nice experience to see them celebrating a victory or a goal.
1:35:18 > 1:35:22Korea would lose the third-place play-off but that mattered little.
1:35:22 > 1:35:26There was much to celebrate and that was something an entire
1:35:26 > 1:35:30country had done in style throughout the competition.
1:35:30 > 1:35:32THEY SING AND CHANT
1:35:44 > 1:35:46Brazil's semifinal opponents were Turkey.
1:35:53 > 1:35:58Senol Gunes' squad had finally seen off the challenge of Senegal.
1:35:58 > 1:36:02Substitute Ilhan Mansiz scoring a truly golden goal.
1:36:04 > 1:36:07The victory had triggered wild celebrations throughout Turkey
1:36:07 > 1:36:09where Gunes and his team had been heavily criticised
1:36:09 > 1:36:11a little under two weeks earlier
1:36:11 > 1:36:15following their uninspiring start to the competition.
1:36:18 > 1:36:22Brazil and their coach in particular were wary of their opponents
1:36:22 > 1:36:23who had grown in confidence
1:36:23 > 1:36:26since losing to the South Americans in their opening game.
1:36:26 > 1:36:29Turkey were ready to exact their revenge.
1:36:30 > 1:36:35TRANSLATION: After losing the first game to Brazil we were well prepared
1:36:35 > 1:36:39for a repeat of the incidents such as the one involving Rivaldo.
1:36:39 > 1:36:43We had given that first game a lot of thought
1:36:43 > 1:36:48and wanted to acquit ourselves better second time around.
1:36:49 > 1:36:52Turkey had adopted a more attacking formation than they had when the two
1:36:52 > 1:36:54teams had met in Ulsan
1:36:54 > 1:36:57and Alpay came close to giving them an early lead.
1:37:07 > 1:37:12It wasn't long, though, before Brazil got their passing going.
1:37:19 > 1:37:22Captain Cafu should have scored.
1:37:24 > 1:37:28Brazil continued to put pressure on the Turkey goal.
1:37:38 > 1:37:39On each occasion,
1:37:39 > 1:37:43they found their attacks thwarted by an inspired Rustu.
1:37:55 > 1:37:570-0 at the break.
1:37:57 > 1:38:01Brazil's number nine got the second half off to a spectacular start.
1:38:03 > 1:38:05COMMENTATOR SPEAKS PORTUGUESE
1:38:27 > 1:38:31TRANSLATION: It was a tough game
1:38:31 > 1:38:35and I had a few chances in the first half.
1:38:35 > 1:38:40The Turkish team was starting to put us under pressure.
1:38:40 > 1:38:45We improved in the second half and then I went on this run.
1:38:45 > 1:38:49I took the ball into the penalty area and hit it with my toe.
1:38:51 > 1:38:58It proved to be the winning goal. For me, it was an unforgettable game.
1:39:01 > 1:39:03Turkey had their chances to equalise.
1:39:08 > 1:39:12Hakan Sukur's late effort was as close as they came.
1:39:13 > 1:39:16Turkey's fairy tale run had finally come to an end,
1:39:16 > 1:39:20although they would defeat Korea in the third-place play-off.
1:39:25 > 1:39:30After six straight wins, Brazil were now just one game from glory.
1:39:36 > 1:39:41So, after 63 games in 30 days, it was almost all over.
1:39:41 > 1:39:45Asia's first World Cup had been a hugely enjoyable experience.
1:39:47 > 1:39:52The average attendance of 42,000 was lower than the two previous tournaments.
1:39:52 > 1:39:54There were fans who couldn't get tickets,
1:39:54 > 1:39:57although it was easy for them to keep up with the action.
1:40:01 > 1:40:02Wherever they were.
1:40:05 > 1:40:06For those who travelled here,
1:40:06 > 1:40:10the experience had been relaxed and comfortable,
1:40:10 > 1:40:13although some cross-cultural activities took some explaining.
1:40:15 > 1:40:19And because the television coverage of this World Cup had been
1:40:19 > 1:40:21more comprehensive than ever before,
1:40:21 > 1:40:25everyone was drawn closer to the colour and excitement of the event.
1:40:30 > 1:40:32And the enthusiasm.
1:40:35 > 1:40:38Without a hint of aggression.
1:40:40 > 1:40:44The watching world had learned a great deal more about Asia.
1:40:47 > 1:40:50And so to Yokohama. The final.
1:40:50 > 1:40:54A meeting of two of the World Cup's most successful nations.
1:40:59 > 1:41:05Amazingly, Brazil and Germany had never before met in the tournament's 72 year history.
1:41:06 > 1:41:10TRANSLATION: We knew that the Brazilian style would suit us.
1:41:10 > 1:41:13Obviously, they had world-class players in their squad
1:41:13 > 1:41:15and it was clear that we wouldn't be able
1:41:15 > 1:41:17to shut them out of game completely.
1:41:17 > 1:41:20There was a greater chance of us losing the match than winning it
1:41:20 > 1:41:22but we knew we would get our chances.
1:41:24 > 1:41:29At 25, Ronaldo was about to be involved in his third World Cup final.
1:41:29 > 1:41:32A nonplaying substitute in '94, he failed to perform at his peak
1:41:32 > 1:41:36in '98, following a reported seizure on the morning of the game.
