In 2002, the World Cup came to Asia, which was jointly held by Japan and South Korea, creating a historical precedent. Japan's record is good, while South Korea is even worse. However, the final championship and runner-up were held between Brazil and Germany, two teams with the best record in the history of the World Cup. The 3R composed of Cristiano Ronaldo, rivaldo and Ronaldinho is invincible. Brazil swept away the regret of the World Cup in France four years ago with its impressive seven-game winning streak, and won the World Cup trophy for the fifth time.
China's first World Cup Top 32.
After six failed attempts at the World Cup, under the leadership of bora milutinovic, the coach of Serbia and Montenegro, the Oriental Dragon China team finally participated in the World Cup in 2002. But even Milu, known as the "magic coach", failed to lead China to qualify. China, who was originally in the same group as Brazil, Turkey and Costa Rica, was regarded as a good draw by domestic public opinion, but in the end Brazil and Turkey in this group won the championship and the third place respectively.
China's 0-2 fiasco in the first game prevented the team from qualifying, and Brazil's 4-0 fiasco in the second game prevented China from qualifying theoretically. China lost 3-0 to the Turkish team. In the match with three opponents in the group, China lost three games, failed to score one goal and conceded nine goals, ranking in the top 32 with a score of 365,438+0, just ahead of Saudi Arabia, which is also from Asia.
