Bros Korea/Japan 2002 remains the best World Cup so far......... teams like Senegal, Turkey and South Korea made the World Cup a memorable mundial

don't argue with me

Fairgodwin:

You share my sentiments, brother. None has been 'sweeter' for me as well.

Caseless:
final that was played between Brazil and Germany was one-way traffic?

Senegal was helped against France? Turkey was helped? USA was helped against a star studded Portugal ? Denmark was helped against France? I'm sure you wanna mention that of Italy and south Korea; that's the favour the host nations usually get .

michlan:


You probably didn't watch France 98. Lol. That remains the best world cup since 94 I started watching.

Caseless:
ah swear! I forget every world cup after its played, but I remember everything about that world cup cos it was eventful. Even fifa uses it as a reference.

femi4:
Go back and watch the stat of the final.

You didn't add how Spain and Italy were robbed

Fairgodwin:

You've said it all.

Caseless:
you didn't see Italy and why they were robbed in my post?

Caseless:
98 was in a class of its own, but 02 had all the drama and culture. I don de see WC since 94 tools, even though I was quite smallc l then, but 98 was pressedy down immediately '02 came .

The reasons are:


1. The first time it was co-hosted and the first in entire Asia. You could understand the enthusiasm from the world's most populous continent.

2. The host nations didn't win it like it happened in France.

3. The adverts for that WC were excellent. Remember that of Pepsi with those football stars? The one with Pink and other artists? Yokozuna and the kid? The coca cola advert where a chicken about to be slaughtered was let loose again to celebrate and even hugged the person trying to kill it? The one who hid in a wardrobe after sleeping with another man's wife, but ran out to hug his victim to celebrate a goal? The mtn adverts
The half times in that WC were not boring because of these interesting commercials.

4. Remember the message on our screens telling us the matches were being shown illegally in Nigeria? That WC was full of drama and it went beyond the field of play.

5. You watched how trappatoni went to knock the match commissioner in his glass box after his player was fouled, but a penalty was awarded against Italy?

6. Roy Keane being sent back home from the WC.

7. It is the only WC that's remembered by the name Korea/japan than it's remembered for it's year(2002) due to it's uniqueness.

8. Remember the Korean players playing in Italy at peruggia who were told not to come back because what they did to Italy at the WC.
Also, the diplomatic row.
9. Then, we had potential world's best player in every team(unlike now Lol).


Holland made my moment in 98 . Edgar davids ? I lik. f e him for his style. Kluivert , seedorf, Frank and R.oonald de Boer, overmas , cocu , van hooijdonk, bergkamp , van Der sar , etc, are players I still admire. I'm a fan of Holland and it started in 98. I know how I almost broke down watching them playing the 3rd place match against Croatia then.

God bless you Boss : Korea/Japan remain the best World Cup so far...... then I was 11 years old I just finish primary school, so during the holiday I watch most of the matches as a kid, Timi Ebikagboro was in Korea and Japan live to bring the excitement to Delta Rainbow Television (now late though)

The advert was wow, then it was LIMCA n GOLDSPOT advert in first half

Caseless:
amen! And bless you, too.



WC is not only about beautiful football, it's about culture and drama - in this regard, no WC has been able to match Korea /Japan.
