Every four years, the world turns its attention to the soccer World Cup. The most successful teams in the tournament have traditionally come from South America and Europe. However, over the years, there have been a number of surprising results.
In a famous match in 1950, the USA came up against England, one of the favorites to win the tournament. Many of the American players were amateurs from college teams. Surprisingly, the USA won 1-0. Other World Cup surprises were North Korea's win over Italy in 1966, and Cameroon's win over Argentina in 1990.
The 2002 FIFA World Cup stands out as probably the most surprising World Cup of all time. In the opening match, Senegal surprised everyone by beating France, the World Cup winner in 1998. Japan then beat Russia, the USA beat Portugal, and South Korea beat Italy, Spain, Poland, and Portugal. South Korea made it all the way to the final four, before finally losing to Germany.
In the final game, which was watched by one billion people around the world, Brazil won 2-0 over Germany. Brazil set a World Cup record by becoming the first team to win seven games in a row. Also, Brazil's most talented player, Ronaldo, scored eight goals in one tournament--more than any other player since 1970.
