2002 FIFA WORLD CUP

Every fan of football should remember this World Cup. It was one of the best (if not really the best) World Cups in Earth's history. The days when football was not corrupted that much like today, when it spreaded like mad in the whole Earth, when Brazil was dominating over every country in the world because of their grace and style of playing called "joga bonito". It was the era of legendary football of the greatest players in the history, like Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, Raul and much more that I could type in here. In the final match of the Cup Brazil has met Germany and they have beaten them 2:0 and this way they happened to acquire their fifth trophy of World Cup.




2002 World Cup was first world tournament to be hosted in Asia (Korea and Japan). This was also the first World Cup that has been played in two countries in the same time. Many of you shall also remember the controversial rule of the Golden Goal which has been later removed from rules of football.

What do you think about the Golden Goal rule? Should it stay for longer or you are satisfied with removing it? Comment below!
