Korea japan world cup

However, just before the vote they agreed with FIFA to co-host the event.

No sporting organisation had ever attempted to host an event the size or scale of the World Cup across two nations, never mind in a pair of countries that had used tactics fair and foul to disparage the other in an attempt to claim the rights to themselves. FIFA were stepping into new territory. We hope that this can be a milestone to overcoming past problems and have a better relationship in the future. It was FIFA executive committee member Chung, a scion of the influential family that owns the Hyundai conglomerate, who had done much to drive a wedge between the two countries throughout a drawn-out and poisonous bidding campaign. The shrewd US-educated year-old had brought all his political guile and ruthlessness to bear on the campaign to overhaul early favourites Japan and secure his nation a share of the World Cup many in South Korea believed was their right. By contrast, the Japanese were the cash-rich new kids on the football block. Velappan, the de facto leader of Asian football for much of the previous two decades, had been at the vanguard of those pushing for co-hosting and his concerns were well founded.

A field of 32 teams qualified for this World Cup, which was the first to be held in Asia , the first to be held outside of the Americas or Europe, as well as the first to be jointly-hosted by more than one nation. China , Ecuador , Senegal , and Slovenia made their World Cup debuts, with Senegal being the only debutant to qualify the group stages and made it to the quarterfinals. The tournament had several upsets and surprise results, which included the defending champions France being eliminated in the group stage after earning a single point without scoring a goal and second favourites Argentina also being eliminated in the group stage. However, the most potent team at the tournament, Brazil , prevailed, winning the final against Germany 2—0, making them the first and only country to have won the World Cup five times. The World Cup was also the last one to use the golden goal rule and the last one to use the same ball for all matches. Starting in and continuing to the present, a ball with the same technical specifications but different colors has been used in the final. Initially, South Korea, Japan and Mexico presented three rival bids. South Korea's entry into the race was seen by some as a response to the bid of political and sporting rival Japan. The two Asian rivals went on a massive and expensive PR blitz around the world, prompting Sultan Ahmad Shah , the head of the Asian Football Confederation , to step in. This is also the first ever World Cup to be hosted in Asia, the other being the World Cup , hosted by Qatar , twenty years later.

After a goalless first half, Brazil took the lead through Ronaldo on 67 minutes, scoring after what German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn called his "only mistake in the finals". He let the ball pass through his legs and it reached Ronaldo, who used his first touch to take the ball away from German player Gerald Asamoah , and then shot the ball into the bottom corner of Kahn's net.
