Brazil, 2002
The 2002 world cup was the 17th edition of FIFA world cup and the first one to be held in Asia. This was the last time a team had won the world cup winning all their matches. And who other than Brazil did it. The Brazilian side led by Ronaldo Nazario were the favourites for the tournament but such a dominant performance did amaze the world.
The world cup was a memorable one with Turkey and hosts South Korea reaching the semifinals something many people wouldn’t have bet on. One highlight of the tournament was Ronaldinho scoring a famous freekick goal vs England to take his team to the semi-finals.
The Brazilian side was star-studded with the likes of Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and more. They ticked every department right and looked untroubled on their way to final.
Brazil met former three times champions Germany in the final of the prestigious tournament. The Germans faced the wrath of legendary striker Ronaldo Nazario who scored twice to win brazil’s fifth FIFA world cup title.
