Where did Japan win the 2002 Japan-Korea World Cup?
In 2002, the17th World Cup was held in Korea and Japan from May 3/kloc-0 to June 30. It was the first time in the history of the World Cup that two countries jointly held the final, and it was also the first time that the World Cup left Europe and America. Before the World Cup, it was opposed by many FIFA member countries. The two hosts made unprecedented achievements in this World Cup, and China entered the World Cup for the first time in history.
Like the last World Cup, the host country and the last champion can go directly to the final stage, and other teams have to go through the qualifiers before they can enter the top 32. In the qualifiers, the traditional strong team Holland capsized, Portugal and Ireland joined hands in the qualifiers, while the Czech team with Nedved lost to Belgium in the play-offs and missed the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. Turkey, Senegal, the United States, South Korea and other dark horses messed up the World Cup final, while France and Argentina, which were recognized as favourites to win the championship before the game, all lost in the group stage, while Germany and Brazil, which were not optimistic before the game, reached the final. Brazil finally defeated its opponent 2-0 and became the first five-time champion in the history of the World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo broke the strange circle that the top scorer of the World Cup scored no more than six goals since 1978 with eight brave goals.
Group stage: France, Argentina, blue depression, Portugal digging its own grave
In this World Cup, the group stage has become a hotbed of surprises. The defending champion France was defeated by the unknown African team Senegal in the opening match. Obviously, Zidane of the French team must be missing. Even the top scorer in the three major leagues is in vain. After three games, it was embarrassing to be out without scoring. In addition to the dismal end of the last champion, Argentina, a traditional strong team, was divided into the death group. Even though batistuta fought Crespo, they were eliminated in the group stage and bid farewell to this World Cup ahead of schedule. As the saying goes, Portugal, which has a golden generation such as Figo and Rui Costa, barely reached the final round of the group stage after a bad start. The United States, the opponent with the same score, scored two goals by Poland five minutes after kick-off. In other words, Portugal only needs to draw the host South Korea to qualify with the goal difference advantage, but 70 minutes later, Park Ji-sung of South Korea kicked Portugal's dream of promotion to pieces. In this way, France, Argentina and Portugal, the three favourites to win the championship, were all eliminated in the group stage.
Group A: Senegal, a new African army that defeated the French team in the opening match, successfully advanced to the top 16, while the Danish playing method snatched the first place in the group, and thomason was unstoppable. Defending champion France, the top scorer in the three major leagues, was eliminated without scoring a goal.
Group A: Denmark and Senegal advanced to 16.
Group B: This group scored 3- 1 most frequently, and scored 3- 1 in 3 of 6 games. Spain's strength is obviously stronger than other teams in the same group, and it is natural to advance smoothly after winning all three games; Paraguay was avenged by Spain, but with a last-minute goal against Slovenia, it successfully defeated South Africa with six goals and four points and zero goal difference, and advanced to the top 16.
Group b: Spain and Paraguay advanced to the top 16.
Group C: With the support of more than one billion people, China entered the World Cup finals for the first time in history. Before the game, the fans were full of hope for China's World Cup debut, but unfortunately, the reality is always cruel. After losing big scores again and again, hope gradually turned into disappointment. China, which failed to score a goal in the group stage and conceded three goals per game, returned home. The winner of Group C is Brazil, a four-time World Cup champion. Their only disgraceful performance was that rivaldo faked a head injury in the Turkish game, which led to the referee's misjudgment. Turkey beat Costa Rica with 4 points on goal difference and headed out.
Group C: Brazil and Turkey advanced to 16.
Group D: South Korea performed amazingly and remained the first in the group. Portugal's golden generation's World Cup trip is like a nightmare. Figo's tears prove that this World Cup is not the World Youth Championship after all. Although Poland was brave in the qualifiers, it was not in the final stage. Under Arena's leadership, the United States is not the last team at the bottom.
Group D: South Korea and the United States advanced to 16.
Group E: Although Ramstein was sadly eliminated, except Ireland, the other two teams did not cause them any trouble in the group stage. Klose became the best shooter in the group stage, or the best header to be exact. In addition, the German team also created the game with the biggest score gap in this World Cup, sweeping Saudi Arabia 8-0. Klose scored a hat trick in this game, which was German 8-0, so China didn't have to worry about the bottom. Finally, roy keane, the captain of the Irish team, couldn't take part in the competition, but robbie keane, a star of the same name who had nothing to do with him, helped Ireland beat the African champion Cameroonian with his excellent performance, thus advancing to the 16 semi-finals.
Group e results: Germany and Ireland advanced to the top 16. Beckham
Group F: This group F, which consists of Argentina, England, Sweden and Nigeria, was unanimously considered as the death group before the game. The first victim of this death group was the Nigerian team, and the old and the new failed alternately. After the second round of the group stage, Nigeria has no possibility of qualifying. However, Argentina, a traditional strong team, was beaten out of the water by Sweden in the final round of qualifying. This match not only declared the complete failure of coach Belsa's 33 13 formation, but also made Argentina out of the first stage of the World Cup finals for the first time since the1974th World Cup, which was really the biggest upset in this World Cup. Argentina's arch-enemy England avenged the last World Cup. Even more coincidentally, Beckham scored a penalty to beat Argentina.
Group F: Sweden and England advanced to 16.
Group G: China Golden Whistle lujun appeared on the World Cup stage. Mexico drew with Italy and beat the other two teams to qualify as the first in the group. Italy inherited the traditional slow-heating style, and finally came second in the group. Ecuador, unwilling to go home completely, is in the name of defeating declining Croatia.
Group g results: Mexico and Italy advanced to the top 16.
Group H: Japan, the champion of the Asian Cup, performed well in the World Cup and advanced to the top 16 with two wins, ranking first in the group. Although other opponents in the group were not strong, Russian coach Romantsev adopted the strategy of Spartak players forming a national team, fell to the ground and ruined his future, failing to advance to the weakest group H; Willamette of the Belgian team started the team alone, and Tunisia did a good job as a walk-on.
Group H: Japan and Belgium advanced to 16.
The eighth final (round 16): South Korea's surprise, Italy's injustice, Senegal's dark horse racing.
This World Cup entered the eighth final stage, and the dark horse Senegal continued their magical journey and beat Sweden with a golden goal in overtime. Turkey eliminated Japan, one of the hosts,1-0; The most striking thing is that another host, South Korea, also beat Italy, a southern European powerhouse, with the golden ball in overtime, and Totti also received a yellow card for "diving" in overtime; With the gift of the opposing goalkeeper Sorensen, England defeated Denmark 3-0 and easily advanced; Belgium has always performed well in the match with Brazil, but it has to accept the regrettable ending of 0-2; The deadlock between Spain and Ireland almost knocked the matador down, but Ireland's penalty luck was as bad as that of big brother England, and Spain advanced. The United States and Mexico, the two arch-enemies of Central and North America, met again, and the United States, who knew the root of the matter, finally defeated Mexico 2-0. The German team beat chilavert and his Paraguayan team and replaced it with a late goal from Newell when the front line was on fire.
Quarter-finals: Korea works miracles, and Ronaldinho kills England.
The match between Brazil and England can be regarded as one of the most classic events in this World Cup. Although Owen scored a goal with Lucio's interception and took the lead with 1-0, Ronaldinho then broke the ten fingers of British goalkeeper Seaman twice with a genius assist and an incredible free kick to complete the reversal. Turkey and Senegal, two big dark horses in this World Cup, met in the quarter-finals. As a result, Ilhan's golden ball, Turkey's secret weapon, ended the madness of Senegalese. When the German striker couldn't score, Ballack began to play the role of terminator. Although the American team always wins the game, they are unlucky and miss an obvious small restricted area in handball. In the end, with Ballack's goal, Germany advanced to the semi-finals with 1-0. South Korea, the host country, kept the Spaniard out of the semi-final with a penalty in a controversial game. The referee ruled that Spain's two goals were invalid and finally awarded a penalty. Joaquin, a Spaniard aged 265,438+0, was saved by lee woon-jae. In this way, South Korea became the first Asian team to enter the semi-finals in the history of the World Cup.
Semi-final (semi-final): The dark horse stopped in the final between Brazil and Germany.
Both semi-finals ended in 1-0. C Ronaldo's exquisite shot from the outside of his instep made Turkey lose to Brazil for the second time in this World Cup. However, Barak's counterattack broke lee woon-jae's ten-finger mark in succession, and finally the German team successfully advanced. However, he himself got a yellow card in the game. Ballack was doomed to miss the final because he got a yellow card in the previous game.
Three or four finalists (third place battle)
Suk opened 1 1 sec and then Ilham scored twice. Although the South Korean team was close to the score twice, it could not prevent its opponent from winning the bronze medal. Hiddink became the first person in the history of the World Cup to lead different teams to the fourth place for two consecutive years.
Although both teams have won the World Cup the most times in their respective continents, they have never met in the World Cup. Due to the absence of German team Ballack, the final became Ronaldo's personal performance time. He scored two goals in this game, while German goalkeeper Kahn only lost one goal in the previous six games, but he became helpless in the face of Cristiano Ronaldo's attack. In the 67th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the first goal and opened the door to victory. 12 minutes later, he expanded his victory again, making Brazil on the podium for the fifth time. Kahn won the consolation prize of the Golden Globe Award in this World Cup.
The level of referee law enforcement needs to be improved, which has been criticized by all walks of life and caused widespread controversy.
In this World Cup, the performance of referees has been criticized. Especially in the hosts' two matches against Italy and Spain, Ecuadorian referee Moreno and Egyptian referee ghandour received many criticisms. Moreno made many questionable decisions, especially when Totti was violated in the small restricted area. Moreno gave the Italian a second yellow card for diving and sent him off. The ghandour referee's enforcement was also questionable, and he ruled that two Spanish goals were invalid. In addition, in the match between Brazil and Belgium, the Jamaican referee also wrongly ruled that a Belgian goal was invalid.
China's first experience: zero goal ending.
After six failed attempts at the World Cup, China, led by coach milutinovic of Serbia and Montenegro, finally qualified for the 2002 World Cup. But even Milu, known as the "magic coach", failed to lead China to qualify. Before the game, the fans were full of hope for China's World Cup debut, but the reality is always cruel. Hope gradually turned into disappointment in big score losses again and again. China, who didn't score a goal in the group stage and conceded three goals per game, returned to China, and it seems that the disappointment of fans is not over yet. The next two consecutive World Cups, not to mention the World Cup finals, China even went to the Asian regional qualifiers (Top Ten Asian Games).
