1962
The
1962 FIFA World Cup was the 7th FIFA World Cup. It was held from 30 May to 17 June 1962 in Chile. Teams representing 57 national football associations from all six
populated continents entered the competition, with its qualification process beginning in August 1960. Fourteen
teams qualified from this process, along with the host nation Chile and defending champion Brazil, for the finals tournament
The
tournament was won by the defending world champions Brazil, who claimed their
second World Cup title by defeating Czechoslovakia 3–1 in the final in the Chilean capital of Santiago, becoming the second team, after Italy in 1938, to successfully defend the world title. Host nation Chile defeated
Yugoslavia 1–0 in the Third Place match to finish third
In
May 1960, as the preparations were well under way, Chile suffered the largest earthquake ever recorded (9.5 magnitude), which caused enormous damage to the national infrastructure. In
the face of this, Carlos Dittborn, the president of the Organization Committee,
coined the phrase "Because we don't have anything, we will do everything
in our power to rebuild". Stadia and other infrastructure were rebuilt at
record speed and the tournament occurred on schedule with no major
organisational flaw. Dittborn did not live to see the success of his efforts,
as he died one month before the start of the tournament. The World Cup venue at
Arica was named Estadio Carlos Dittborn in his honour and bears his name
to this day. Even with these few and low-capacity stadiums Chile was able to
meet the demand for seats as international travel to Chile, far-away for
Europe, was minimal at the time
Pelé was injured in the second group match against Czechoslovakia. The USSR's goalkeeper Lev Yashin, arguably the world's best at the
time, was in poor form and his team went out to Chile (1–2) in the quarter-finals. Bright spots included the emergence of
the young Brazilians Amarildo (standing in for Pelé) and Garrincha, the heroics of Czechoslovakia
goalkeeper Viliam Schrojf against Hungary and Yugoslavia, and the performance of the host nation Chile, who took third place
with a squad of relatively unknown players
Chile
defeated European champions USSR to earn a semi-final game against the winner
of the England – Brazil game. Garrincha scored two goals in a 3–1 win against
England. Meanwhile, 1–0 wins for Yugoslavia against West Germany – and another
1–0 win of Czechoslovakia against neighbours Hungary – saw the two Slavic
states meet in the semi-finals.
With
four goals each, Flórián Albert, Garrincha, Valentin Ivanov, Dražan Jerković,
Leonel Sánchez and Vavá are the top scorers in the tournament. In total, 89
goals were scored by 54 different players, with none of them credited as own
goal
Santiago's Estadio Nacional served as the venue for the final, and after
15 minutes, Brazil again found themselves a goal behind in the World Cup final,
as a long ball from Adolf Scherer was latched onto by Josef Masopust: 1–0 Czechoslovakia. As in the previous final in 1958, Brazil soon
hit back, equalising two minutes later through Amarildo after an error by
Czechoslovak goalkeeper Schroijf. The Brazilians scored goals from Zito and Vavá (another Schrojf error) midway through the second half, and the
Czechoslovaks could not get back into the game. The match ended 3–1 to Brazil,
a successful defence of the title for only the second time in the history of
the competition in spite of the absence of one of their star players of 1958,
Pelé, who was replaced by Amarildo. Brazil ‘s Garrincha, Vava, Didi, Mario Zagalo (later coach),
Gilmar, Zito, Pele all outstand in that tournament
Brazil
won
1966
The
1966 FIFA World Cup, the eighth
staging of the World Cup, was held in England from 11 to 30 July. England beat West Germany 4–2 in the final, winning the Jules Rimet Trophy. With this victory, England won their first
FIFA World Cup title and became the third host nation to win the tournament
after Uruguay in 1930 and Italy in 1934.
The 1966 Final, held at Wembley Stadium, was the last to be broadcast in black and white.[2] The tournament held a FIFA record for the largest average attendance, for 28 years, until it was surpassed by the United States in 1994
Portugal
and North Korea qualified for the first time. Portugal would not qualify again
until 1986, while North Korea's next appearance was at the 2010 tournament.
This was also Switzerland's last World Cup finals until 1994. Notable absentees
from this tournament included 1962 semi-finalists Yugoslavia and 1962 finalists
Czechoslovakia.
Thirty-one
African nations boycotted the tournament to protest a 1964 FIFA ruling that
required the three second-round winners from the African zone to enter a
play-off round against the winners of the Asian zone in order to qualify for
the World Cup, as they felt winning their zone was enough in itself to merit
qualification. They also protested against the readmission of South Africa to FIFA in 1963, despite its expulsion from CAF due to the apartheid regime in 1958.
South
Africa was subsequently assigned to the Asia and Oceania qualifying group
before being disqualified after being suspended again due to pressure from
other African nations in October 1964. Despite this, after FIFA refused to
change the qualifying format, the African teams decided anyway to pull out of
the World Cup until at least one African team had a place assured in the World
Cup, something which was put in place for the 1970 FIFA World Cup and all subsequent World Cup finals
Group
4, however, provided the biggest upset when North Korea beat Italy 1–0 at Ayresome Park, Middlesbrough and finished above them, thus earning qualification to the next
round along with the Soviet Union. This was the first time that a nation from outside Europe or the
Americas had progressed from the first stage of a World Cup: the next would be
Morocco in 1986
It
appeared as though the surprise package North Korea would claim another major
upset in their match against Portugal at Goodison Park, when after 22 minutes
they led 3–0. It fell to one of the greatest stars of the tournament, Eusébio, to change that. He scored four goals in the game and José Augusto added a fifth in the 78th minute to earn Portugal a 5–3 win
With
nine goals, Eusébio was the top scorer in the tournament

1970
The
1970 FIFA World Cup was the
ninth FIFA World Cup, the quadrennial international football championship for men's national teams. Held from 31 May to 21 June in Mexico,
it was the first World Cup tournament staged in North America, and the first
held outside Europe and South America. Teams representing 75 nations from all
six populated continents entered the competition, and its qualification rounds began in May 1968. Fourteen teams
qualified from this process to join host nation Mexico and defending champions England in the sixteen-team final tournament. El Salvador, Israel, and Morocco made their first appearances at the final stage.
The
tournament was won by Brazil, which defeated another two-time former champion, Italy, 4–1 in the final in Mexico City. The win gave Brazil its third World Cup title, which allowed them
to permanently keep the Jules Rimet Trophy, and a new trophy was introduced in 1974. The victorious team, led by Carlos Alberto and featuring players such as Pelé, Gérson, Jairzinho, Rivellino, and Tostão, is often cited as the
greatest-ever World Cup team. They achieved a perfect record of wins in all six
games in the finals, as well as winning all their qualifying fixtures.
The
draw for the qualifying stages was conducted on 1 February 1968 in Casablanca, Morocco, with matches beginning
in May 1968 and the final fixtures being concluded in December 1969. North Korea, quarter-finalists at the previous tournament, were disqualified
during the process after refusing to play in Israel for political reasons.
El Salvador qualified for the finals after beating Honduras in a play-off match, which was the catalyst for a four-day
conflict in July 1969 known as the Football War, same fierce rivals still to this day
The
altitude of the venues varied and the importance of acclimatisation was strongly considered by all the
participating teams. As a result, in contrast to the previous tournament staged
in England, most teams arrived in the region well in advance of their opening
fixtures to prepare for this factor. Some teams had already
experienced the local conditions when competing in the football competition at 1968 Summer Olympics. At an elevation in
excess of 2,660 metres (8,730 ft) above sea level, Toluca was the highest of the venues; Guadalajara was the lowest at 1,500 m (4,920 ft)
Brazil
met England in the group's most famed match. Although Gordon Banks in the English goal denied Pelé from close range with a reflex
save that Pelé himself cited as the greatest of his career, a second
half goal from Jairzinho won the match for Brazil after England squandered several excellent
opportunities to equalise. Both teams then won their final group games to
progress to the knockout stage
In
the final, Brazil opened the scoring when Pelé headed in a cross from Rivellino in the 18th minute, but Roberto Boninsegna equalised for Italy after a series of blunders
in the Brazilian defence. The match remained level until the 66th minute when a
powerful shot from Gérson restored the Brazilians' lead. Further goals from Jairzinho and Carlos Alberto rewarded Brazil's attacking play and secured a
4–1 victory and a record third World Cup triumph, which earned them the right
to permanently keep the Jules Rimet Trophy
Both
the Brazilian team that were crowned champions of the 1970 World
Cup and the tournament itself have become regarded as among the very finest in
the history of the FIFA World Cup. In contrast to the more physical
style of play that had dominated the previous two tournaments, the 1970 Finals
are noted for the attacking play adopted by most teams
The
eventual champions Brazil, led by Carlos Alberto, and featuring Pelé, Clodoaldo, Gérson, Jairzinho, Rivellino, and Tostão, is often cited as the greatest-ever World Cup team. They won all
of their six games on the way to the title, and had also won every one of their qualifying fixtures. Jairzinho's feat of scoring in every finals
match likewise has yet to be equalled. Coach Mário Zagallo became the first man to win the World Cup as both a player (1958, 1962) and coach
With
ten goals, Gerd Müller is the top scorer in the tournament. German soccer stars
Franz Beckanbauer and Uwe Seeler played along with Gerd Muller. Teófilo Cubillas (Peru) outstand as youngest player. Team Peru with its famous red stripe
on white jersey won 1970 FiFA fairplay award

Hoeness played for 1974 Germany team
Two
teams made a particularly powerful impact on the first round. The Netherlands
demonstrated the "Total football" techniques pioneered by the top Dutch club Ajax, in which specialised positions
were virtually abolished for the outfield players, and individual players
became defenders, midfielders or strikers as the situation required. The Dutch
marked their first World Cup finals since 1938 by topping their first-round
group, with wins over Uruguay and Bulgaria and a draw with Sweden. Sweden joined the Dutch in the second group
round after beating Uruguay 3–0.
In
Group A, two goals from the inspirational Netherland famous star Johan Cruyff helped the Dutch side thrash Argentina 4–0. At the same time,
Brazil defeated East Germany 1–0. The Dutch triumphed over East Germany 2–0
while in the "Battle of the South Americans", Brazil managed to
defeat Argentina 2–1 in a scrappy match. Argentina and East Germany drew 1–1
and were on their way home while the crucial match between the Netherlands and
Brazil turned into another triumph for 'total football', as second-half goals
from Johan Neeskens and Cruyff put the Netherlands in the final.
However the match would also be remembered for harsh defending on both sides
The
final was held on 7 July 1974 at Olympiastadion, Munich. West Germany was led
by Franz Beckenbauer, while the Dutch had their star Johan Cruyff, and their Total Football system which had dazzled the competition. With just a minute gone
on the clock, following a solo run, Cruyff was brought down by Uli Hoeneß close to the German penalty area, and the Dutch took the lead from
the ensuing penalty by Johan Neeskens before any German player had even touched the ball. West Germany
struggled to recover, and in the 26th minute were awarded a penalty, after Bernd Hölzenbein fell within the Dutch area, causing English referee Jack Taylor to award another controversial penalty. Paul Breitner spontaneously decided to kick, and scored. These two penalties were
the first in a World Cup final. West Germany now pushed, and in the 43rd
minute, in his typical style, Gerd Müller scored what turned out to be the winning goal, and the last of his
career as he retired from the national team. The second half saw chances for
both sides, with Müller putting the ball in the net for a goal that was
disallowed as offside. In the 85th, Hölzenbein was fouled again, but no penalty
this time. Eventually, West Germany, European Champions of 1972, also won the 1974
World Cup
With
seven goals, Grzegorz Lato with Poland was the top scorer of 1974 along Capt Deyna
Germany won
1978
The
1978 FIFA World Cup, the 11th
staging of the FIFA World Cup, quadrennial international football world championship tournament, was held in Argentina between 1 and
25 June.
The
1978 World Cup was won by Argentina who beat the Netherlands 3–1 at River Plate's home stadium Estadio Monumental in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires after extra time in the final.
Peru pushed the Netherlands into second place in Group 4, where Scotland missed out on goal difference for the second successive tournament.
Teófilo Cubillas was outstanding for Peru, scoring twice
against Scotland in Peru's 3–1 win and hitting a hat-trick in their 4–1 victory
over newcomers Iran. Rob Rensenbrink of the Netherlands also scored three times
against Iran, scoring all the goals as the Dutch won 3–0. Scotland drew with
Iran 1–1 and the only highlight of their campaign was a 3–2 victory over the
Netherlands in their final group game which was not enough to prevent
elimination. Iran, the reigning Asian champions, went out of the tournament winless
The
final, Argentina’s Mario Kempes opened the scoring for the hosts before Netherlands equalized a few
minutes from the end. Rob Rensenbrink had a glorious stoppage-time opportunity to win it for the
Netherlands but his effort came back off the goal post. Argentina won the final
3–1 after extra time, after Daniel Bertoni scored and Kempes, who finished as the tournament's top scorer with
six goals, added his second of the day. The Netherlands, because of the
controversial game events, refused to attend the post-match ceremonies after
the match ended. They had lost their second consecutive World Cup
final, both times to the host nation, after losing to West Germany in 1974
This was
before Falklands war

The
tournament was won by Italy, who defeated West Germany 3–1 during the final match, held in the Spanish capital of Madrid.
It was Italy's third World Cup win and first since 1938. The holders Argentina were eliminated in the second group round. Algeria, Cameroon,
Honduras, Kuwait and New Zealand made their first appearances in the finals.
There
was some consideration given as to whether England, Northern Ireland, and
Scotland should withdraw from the tournament because of the Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom. A directive issued by the
British sports minister Neil Macfarlane in April, at the start of the conflict,
suggested that there should be no contact between British representative teams
and Argentina. This directive was not rescinded until August, following the end
of hostilities. Macfarlane reported to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher that some players and officials were uneasy about participating
because of the casualties suffered by British forces. FIFA advised
the British Government that there was no prospect that Argentina (the defending champions) would be asked to withdraw It also became
apparent that no other countries would withdraw from the tournament. It
was decided to allow the British national teams to participate so
that Argentina could not use their absence for propaganda purposes, reversing
the intended effect of applying political pressure onto Argentina.
Brazil were in Group 6. With Zico, Sócrates, Falcão, Éder and others, they boasted an offensive firepower that promised a
return to the glory days of 1970. They beat the USSR 2–1 thanks to a 20-metre Éder goal two minutes from time
In
the final, Antonio Cabrini fired a penalty wide of goal in the first
half. In the second half, Paolo Rossi scored first for the third straight game
by heading home Gentile's bouncing cross at close range. Exploiting the
situation, Italy scored twice more on quick counter-strikes, all the while
capitalising on their defence to hold the Germans. With Gentile and Gaetano
Scirea holding the centre, the Italian strikers were free to counter-punch the
weakened German defence. Marco Tardelli's shot from the edge of the area beat Schumacher first, and Alessandro Altobelli, the substitute for injured
striker Francesco Graziani, made it 3–0 at the end of a solo sprint down
the right side by the stand-out winger Bruno
Conti. Italy's lead
appeared secure, encouraging Italian president Sandro Pertini to wag his finger at the cameras in a playful "not going to
catch us now" gesture. In the 83rd minute, Paul Breitner scored for West
Germany, but it was only a consolation goal as Italy won 3–1 to claim their
first World Cup title in 44 years, and their third in total

3, where the opening ceremony and first match of the tournament took place, saw

1986
It
was won by Argentina (their second title, after winning in 1978). Argentina was captained by the 25-year old Diego Maradona, who played a large part in his team's success. Maradona scored the
"Hand of God" goal, as well as another voted "Goal of the
Century", in the same quarter-final against England. These were two of the five
goals that Maradona scored during the tournament, and he also created another
five for his teammates. Argentina beat West Germany 3–2 in the final at Mexico City's Estadio Azteca. Total attendance was 2,394,031, an average
per match of 46,039. Canada, Denmark and Iraq made their first appearances at the final stage
Colombia was originally chosen as hosts by FIFA in June 1974. However, the Colombian authorities eventually
declared on 5 November 1982 that they could not afford to host the World Cup
under the terms that FIFA demanded because of economic concerns. Mexico was selected on 20 May 1983 as the
replacement hosts, beating the bids of Canada and the United States (who
eventually hosted the 1994 World Cup), and thereby became the first nation to host
two World Cups. This second World Cup in Mexico came 16 years after the first
one in 1970. A severe earthquake in September 1985, eight months before the
tournament, cast doubt over Mexico's ability to organize the event, but the
stadia were not affected and it was decided to go ahead with the preparations.
That’s how people of Mexican love the game
As
1986 had been declared the International Year of Peace by the United Nations, the advertising boards of all the stadia displayed the FIFA and United Nations logos along with the legend "Football for Peace – Peace
Year"
For
the design of the logo an unofficial motto was adopted: "El Mundo Unido
por Un Balón" ("The World United by a Ball")
The
quarter-final between Argentina and England at the Azteca featured two very
different goals in the second half by Diego Maradona (was hit by a nudge from
Terry Butcher not seen by the referee in the first half): the first was scored
illegally, as he punched the ball into the goal past England goalkeeper Peter Shilton. The referee did not see the handball and the goal was given as
valid. After the game, Maradona claimed the goal was scored "A bit with
the head of Maradona and another bit with the hand of God"; it became
known as the "Hand of God" goal. For his second goal, voted "Goal of the Century" in 2002 on the FIFA website, Maradona
dribbled half the length of the field past five English players before scoring.
With 20 minutes to go, the introduction of John Barnes as a substitute changed
the tide of play in England's favour, as he pinged cross after cross into the
Argentine penalty area: with 9 minutes to go, Lineker got on the end of one and
scored, then almost repeated the dose six minutes later but was just unable to
reach the ball thanks to a timely block by Olarticoechea: 2–1 to Argentina was
the final score
So
it was to be the South American Argentina vs the European West Germany at the
final at the Azteca, the second time this massive stadium would host a World
Cup Final (the first in 1970. Argentina was one up midway through the first half of the
final, and when Jorge Valdano scored a second for the South Americans in the
55th minute, Argentina looked to be strolling to victory. West Germany then
staged a spirited comeback. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge pulled one back in the 74th
minute, and six minutes later Rudi Völler hit the equaliser. With seven minutes
remaining, a pass from Maradona gave Jorge Burruchaga the chance to score the winner for Argentina. Eight years on from
their home triumph, Argentina regained the world title and 30 million people in
Argentina celebrated in the streets after the final victory. Maradona was the
Golden Ball winner as the best player of the tournament, while Gary Lineker of
England won the Golden Boot as the leading scorer of the World Cup with six
goals

The
tournament was won by West Germany,
their third World Cup title. They beat
Argentina 1–0 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, a rematch of the previous
final four years earlier. Italy finished third, and England
fourth, after both lost their semi-finals in penalty
shootouts. This was the last tournament to feature a team from the
divided Germany, with the country being reunified
later in 1990, as well as teams from the Eastern Bloc prior to the
end of the Cold War
in 1991, as the Soviet Union,
Romania,
Czechoslovakia
and Yugoslavia
teams made appearances. Costa Rica,
Ireland
and the UAE
made their first appearances in the finals. The official match ball was the Adidas

Group B, Cameroon defeated reigning champions Argentina.
Despite ending the match with only nine men, the African team held on for a
shock 1–0 win, with contrasting fortunes for the brothers Biyik: François Omam
scoring the winning goal, shortly after seeing Andre Kana sent off for a
serious foul. In their second game the introduction of Roger Milla was the
catalyst for a 2–1 win over Romania,
Milla scoring twice from the bench (making him the oldest goalscorer in the
tournament). With progression assured, Cameroon slumped to a 4–0 defeat in
their final group game to a Soviet Union
(in what would be their last World Cup due to the dissolution
of the Soviet Union) side striving to stay in the tournament on goal
difference after successive 2–0 defeats. A 1–1 draw between Romania and
Argentina sent both through, the latter as one of the best third-placed teams.

won for the 3rd time
1994
The
1994 FIFA World Cup was the 15th
FIFA World Cup, held in
nine cities across the United States from 17 June to 17 July 1994. The United
States was chosen as the host
by FIFA on 4 July 1988.
Despite the host nation's lack of a national top-level football
league, the tournament was the most financially successful in the tournament's
history; it broke the World Cup average attendance record with nearly 69,000
spectators per game, a mark that still stands. The total attendance
of nearly 3.6 million for the final tournament remains the highest in
World Cup history, despite the expansion of the competition from 24 to 32 teams
(and from 52 to 64 games) in the 1998 World
Cup.[1]
Brazil
won the tournament after beating Italy
3–2 in a penalty
shootout at the Rose Bowl
in Pasadena,
California near Los Angeles,
after the game had ended 0–0 after extra time. It was the
first World Cup final to be decided on penalties. The victory made Brazil the
first nation to win four World Cup titles. Greece,
Nigeria
and Saudi Arabia
made their first-ever appearances at the tournament, as did Russia,
following the breakup of the Soviet Union
The
final game
at the Rose Bowl
was tense, but devoid of scoring chances. It was the second time in 24 years
that the two nations had met in a final.
Despite the strategies implemented by FIFA to promote offensive play, both
teams failed to produce a goal. After 120 goalless minutes, the World Cup was
decided for the first time by a penalty shoot-out. After four rounds, Brazil
led 3–2, and Baggio, playing injured, had to score to keep Italy's hopes alive.
He missed by shooting it over the crossbar, and the Brazilians were crowned
champions for the fourth time. After the game ended, then-Vice-President
Al Gore hosted the
awarding ceremony by handing Brazilian captain Dunga the prestigious
trophy; the Brazilian national team dedicated the title to the deceased Formula One motor racing
champion and countryman Ayrton Senna,
who had died two and
a half months prior
The
tournament's Golden Boot
went jointly to Bulgaria's Stoichkov and Oleg Salenko of Russia,
the latter becoming the first player to score five goals in a game, coming in a
6–1 victory against Cameroon.
Both players scored six goals in the tournament. Brazilian striker Romário, with five goals,
won the Golden Ball
as the tournament's best player
Because
of the large area of the continental United States, the match locations were
often far apart. Some teams in Groups A and B had to travel from Los Angeles or
San Francisco all the way to Detroit and back again, covering 2,300 mi
(3,680 km) and 3 time zones one way
The
teams in Groups C and D only played in Foxborough (Boston), Chicago and Dallas
– a trip from Boston to Dallas is 2,000 miles (3,200 km), but only covers
one time zone; Chicago is in the same time zone as Dallas but is still 1,000
miles away from both Dallas and Boston. The teams in Groups E and F's travel
was a bit easier – they played exclusively in East Rutherford, New Jersey (New
York City), Washington and Orlando. A few teams such as Cameroon and Italy did
not have to travel great distances to cities to play matches.

time strike from Emmanuel Petit. The win gave France their first World Cup
title, becoming the sixth national team after Uruguay,
Italy,
England,
West Germany
and Argentina
to win the tournament on their home soil. They also inflicted the
second-heaviest World Cup defeat on Brazil, later to be topped by Brazil's 7–1 defeat by
Germany in the semi-finals of the 2014 FIFA
World Cup
The
pre-match build up was dominated by the omission of Brazilian striker Ronaldo
from the starting lineup only to be reinstated 45 minutes before kick-off.[27]
He managed to create the first open chance for Brazil in the 22nd minute,
dribbling past defender Thuram before sending a cross out on the left side that
goalkeeper Fabien
Barthez struggled to hold onto. France however took the lead after
Brazilian defender Roberto
Carlos conceded a corner which Zidane scored via a header. Three
minutes before half-time, Zidane scored his second goal of the match, similarly
another header from a corner. The tournament hosts went down to ten men in the
68th minute as Marcel
Desailly was sent off for a second bookable offence. Brazil reacted
to this by making an attacking substitution and although they applied pressure
France sealed the win with a third goal: substitute
Patrick Vieira set up his
club teammate Petit in a counterattack to shoot low past goalkeeper Cláudio
Taffarel
French
president Jacques Chirac was in attendance to congratulate and commiserate the
winners and runners-up respectively after the match. Several days after the
victory, winning manager Aimé Jacquet announced his
resignation from the French team with immediate effect
France
won
2002
The
final was contested by Germany
and Brazil.
It was the first World Cup meeting between the two sides. Brazil won the match
2–0, winning a record fifth title. Ronaldo,
who became the record World Cup goalscorer at the 2006
tournament, scored two of his fifteen World Cup goals in the second
half of the match, leading Brazil to the title and winning the Golden Boot
award. It also marked Brazilian captain Cafu's third consecutive
appearance in a World Cup Final, a feat that has yet to be accomplished by any
other player in the history of the tournament
Plus
Cafu, Brazilian has Roberto
Carlos, Rivaldo,
Ronaldinho, Edmilson,
Denilson and Ronaldo,
all those breathtaking legends
Brazil
would claim their fifth, and as of March 2018 last, World Cup title over the
resilient German side. Ronaldo
missed a chance in the 19th minute when he was put through on Oliver Kahn by Ronaldinho, putting his
shot wide of the target. The next big chance of the game would fall to Ronaldo
in the 30th minute, as he was once again put through by Ronaldinho, this time
he was unable to put much power on the shot as he was put under pressure by Thomas Linke, and Kahn
saved his effort. Kléberson
would have the next two chances of the match, putting the first wide in the
42nd minute, and hitting the bar from long range in 45th. Ronaldo missed his
third scoring chance in stoppage time, when a Roberto Carlos pass evaded
all the German defenders, this time Ronaldo hit the shot well, but Kahn saved
it with his outstretched foot. Germany had their first major chance of the
evening a minute into the second half, when a corner found an unmarked Jens Jeremies, but his
header was blocked by the foot of Edmílson. In the 50th
minute, Germany almost scored when Oliver Neuville struck a
free kick from long range, Marcos
tipped the brilliant strike onto the post. Brazil would open the scoring in the
67th minute in a sequence that started with Ronaldo winning the ball from Dietmar Hamann in the
German half of the pitch. Ronaldo passed to Rivaldo who struck a low
shot towards goal. Kahn attempted to catch the shot, but he was unable to, and
in doing so spilled a rebound. Ronaldo, who had followed Rivaldo's shot, and
despite the rebound being relatively short, took advantage of Kahn being off
balance, scoring the rebound into the bottom corner before Kahn could recover.
Brazil got their second twelve minutes later, after a mazy run from Kléberson
from just beyond the halfway line caused confusion in the German defense, this
run lead to Brazil having a four attackers against Germany's three defenders.
Kléberson passed towards Rivaldo, who was in the center of the pitch and a yard
outside the German penalty area, and Linke came from covering Ronaldo to
pressure Rivaldo, but Rivaldo let the ball pass through his legs, and the pace
on Kléberson's pass found Ronaldo, who now had a chance from the center edge of
the German penalty area. German foreward Gerald Asamoah tracked
back well, and he was almost able to block the shot, but Ronaldo used his first
touch to take the ball away from Asamoah, and passed the ball into the bottom
corner of Kahn's net with his second. Germany had their best chance of the game
in the 83rd minute when Oliver
Bierhoff hit a first time shot towards goal from the penalty spot,
but Marcos got down brilliantly to save the shot, and Germany were unable to
threaten for the rest of the match
Brazil
won for the fifth time
2006
Italy won the tournament, claiming their fourth World Cup title. They
defeated France
5–3 in a penalty
shoot-out in the final, after extra time
had finished in a 1–1 draw. Germany defeated Portugal
3–1 to finish in third place. Angola, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Trinidad and Tobago,
and Togo made their first appearances in the finals. It was also the first
appearance of Serbia and Montenegro under that name; they had previously
appeared in 1998
as Yugoslavia
Germany's
Miroslav Klose scored five
goals to claim the Golden Boot, the lowest total to win the prize since 1962.
No other player scored more than three goals. No player from the winning
Italian squad scored more than two goals, though ten different players had
scored for the team, tying France's record in 1982
for the most goalscorers from any one team
For
the first time ever in the FIFA World Cup, the first and last goals of the
tournament were scored by defenders. Philipp Lahm, the German left wingback,
scored the opener against Costa Rica after only 5 minutes of the opening
match
England
struggled against Ecuador but won 1–0 thanks to a David Beckham free kick.
Brazil won 3–0 against Ghana, in a game which included Ronaldo's
record 15th World Cup goal. Der Spiegel reported that the match may have
been influenced by an Asian betting syndicate. France came from behind to defeat
Spain 3–1 thanks to goals from Franck Ribéry, Patrick Vieira, and Zinedine Zidane.
In
Quarter-Finals, France eliminated Brazil 1–0 to advance into the semi-finals.
Brazil only managed one shot on goal, while Zinedine Zidane's
dribbling earned him Man of the Match and his free-kick to Thierry Henry resulted in
the winning goal
The
final started with each side scoring within the first 20 minutes. Zinedine
Zidane opened the scoring by converting a controversial seventh-minute penalty
kick,[44] which glanced off the underside of the crossbar and into
the goal... before bouncing back up, hitting the crossbar again and bounced out
of the goal.[45] Marco Materazzi then levelled the scores in the
19th minute following an Andrea Pirlo
corner. Both teams had chances to score the winning goal in normal time: Luca Toni hit the crossbar
in the 35th minute for Italy (he later had a header disallowed for offside),
while France were not awarded a possible second penalty in the 53rd minute when
Florent Malouda
went down in the box after a tackle from Gianluca Zambrotta.
At
the end of the regulation 90 minutes, the score was still level at 1–1,
and the match was forced into extra time.
Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi
Buffon made a potentially game-saving save in extra time when he
tipped a Zidane header over the crossbar. Further controversy ensued near the end
of extra time, when Zidane
head-butted Materazzi in the chest in an off-the-ball incident and
was sent off. Extra time produced no further goals and a penalty shootout
followed, which Italy won 5–3. France's David Trezeguet, the man
who scored the golden goal
against Italy in Euro 2000, was the only player not to score his penalty; his
spot kick hit the crossbar, landed on the goal line and went out. It was the
first all-European final since Italy's triumph over West Germany in the 1982 World
Cup, and the second final, after 1994,
to be decided on penalties. It was also Italy's first world title in
24 years, and their fourth overall, making them the second most successful
World Cup team ever. The victory also helped Italy top the FIFA World
Rankings in February 2007 for the first time since November 1993
Italy
won for the fourth time
2010
For
the first time in World Cup history, all teams had at least one player from a
European club. Three
national squads were made up entirely of players from domestic clubs: England,
Italy
and Germany.
Nigeria
was the only team with no players from domestic clubs
In
the final, Spain,
the European
champions, defeated the Netherlands
(third-time losing finalists) 1–0 after extra time, with Andrés
Iniesta's goal in the 116th minute giving Spain their first world
title. Spain became the eighth nation to win the tournament and the first
European nation to win a World Cup hosted outside its home continent: all
previous World Cups held outside Europe had been won by South American nations
The
final was held on 11 July 2010 at Soccer City, Johannesburg. Spain
defeated the Netherlands
1–0, with an extra time goal from Andrés
Iniesta. Iniesta scored the latest winning goal in a FIFA World Cup
final (116'). The win gave Spain their first World Cup title,
becoming the eighth team to win it. This made them the first new winner without
home advantage since Brazil in 1958,[81] and the first team to win
the tournament after having lost their opening game.[66]
A
large number of fouls were committed in the final match. Referee Howard Webb handed out 14
yellow cards, more than doubling the previous record for this fixture, set when
Argentina and West Germany shared six cards in 1986, and John Heitinga of the
Netherlands was sent off for receiving a second yellow card. The Netherlands
had chances to score, most notably in the 60th minute when Arjen Robben was
released by Wesley
Sneijder to be one-on-one with Spain's goalkeeper Iker Casillas, only for
Casillas to save the shot with an outstretched leg. For Spain, Sergio Ramos missed a free
header from a corner kick when he was unmarked. Iniesta finally
broke the deadlock in extra time, scoring a volleyed shot from a pass by Cesc Fàbregas.
This
result marked the first time that two different teams from the same continent
had won successive World Cups (following Italy in 2006), and saw Europe
reaching 10 World Cup titles, surpassing South America's nine titles. Spain
became the first team since West Germany in 1974 to win the World Cup as European
champions. The result also marked the first time that a European
nation had won a World Cup Finals that was not hosted on European soil
For
the first time, FIFA did not release an official All-Star Team,
but instead published a Dream Team decided by an online public vote. World cup
national team play qualities are down, apparently
Breaking
News: Tragic Event
A
heartbroken Nelson
Mandela has pulled out of today's football World Cup opening
ceremony in South Africa after the death of his great-granddaughter in a car
crash.
Zenani
Mandela, 13, was killed on the way home from last night's pre-tournament
concert in Soweto, where tens of thousands of people sang and danced with pop
stars including Shakira and the Black Eyed Peas.
It
meant that a day the frail Mandela had long anticipated – his "rainbow
nation" performing a new miracle under the world's gaze – became instead
one of private grief and mourning
A
closing ceremony was held before the final, featuring singer Shakira. Afterwards, the
former South African President Nelson Mandela made a
brief appearance on the pitch, wheeled in by a motorcart

place
In
the final,
Germany defeated Argentina 1–0 to win the tournament and secure the country's
fourth world title, the first after the German
reunification in 1990, when as West Germany they also beat Argentina
in the World Cup
final. Germany became the first European team to win a World Cup
staged in the Americas,
and this result marked the first time that nations from the same continent won
three consecutive tournaments (following Italy in 2006
