2002
FIFA World Cup Korea/JapanT
- Final Day
BRAZIL
ARE THE CHAMPIONS
Ronaldo buried the ghosts of 98 by scoring the goals that
gave Brazil their FIFTH World Cup title.
The Inter
Milan superstar missed two good first half chances, but made
up for it with two strikes in the second half.
The first
came after Goalkeeper of the tournament, Oliver Kahn spilt
a shot by Rivaldo and Ronaldo was on hand to smash the ball
past the despairing German keeper. The second was total proof
that he was back to his best with a super strike from the
edge of the box which went in off the post.
Both teams
hit the woodwork, and Germany were unlucky not to take the
lead through Oliver Neuville who's 30 yard free kick was brilliantly
saved by Marcos
The final
whistle was greeted by huge celebration as Cafu lifted the
World Cup to huge applause, and whilst the whole team deserved
their victory, it was the image of tearful Ronaldo which emphasised
that he deserved this more than anyone, and now after four
years of torment and injury, the World's greatest striker
can once again enjoy his football, as a World Cup winner!
