England wc 2002

England 1 Owen 23 Brazil 2 Rivaldo 45, Ronaldinho England could not find a good exit line here yesterday. They left the World Cup with a whispered apology which was almost as big a disappointment as the departure itself. Few, at the outset, expected Sven-Goran Eriksson's team to get past the first round, let alone reach the quarter-finals, yet having put themselves in the position of leading Brazil , with a semi-final against Senegal or Turkey beckoning and beyond that a place in the final, their eventual defeat by 10 men was still hard to bear. When the Football Association appointed Eriksson it was made clear that the present tournament would merely be a prelude to what England hope to achieve in Germany in The long-term ambition was to build a side capable of winning the World Cup not now but four years hence. Presumably this is still the aim. But the likelihood of an England side again finding itself so close to the final with the likes of Argentina, France and Italy already eliminated would appear to be slim. The prize was there for England to grasp this time but for a variety of reasons they could not get a grip on it. After promising to stride to the last four in seven-league boots they crept out of the World Cup in Hush Puppies. Maybe Eriksson's side had overreached itself.

Two days later, Newcastle United's Kieron Dyer strained medial knee ligaments and Liverpool's Steven Gerrard groin picked up injuries in their final league games of the season. Eriksson had surprisingly overlooked Real Madrid's Steve McManaman, who was set to win his second Champions League winners medal, two days later. When Eriksson submitted his final squad list on 21 May, Gerrard who needed an operation on his groin , was excluded, but Dyer was named in the squad, desperately trying to prove that his knee would be up to the task. England still had until June 1 to make any changes to their squad due to late injuries. Sinclair, meanwhile, remained on standby, but flew home to his pregnant wife, despite Eriksson asking him to stay with the squad, which was now in Korea Republic and about to head to Japan for a final warm-up match against Cameroon. There was a further twist on the very next day, when Murphy fell awkwardly in training. Just like Beckham still recovering and Gary Neville withdrawn before him, he had broken a metatarsal and the newest member of the squad was out, with just over a week to go to England's first game.

During the opening ceremony, the championship was declared opened by President of South Korea Kim Dae-jung. A field of 32 teams qualified for this World Cup, which was the first to be held in Asia , the first to be held outside of the Americas or Europe, as well as the first to be jointly hosted by more than one nation. China , Ecuador , Senegal and Slovenia made their World Cup debuts, with Senegal being the only debutant to qualify the group stages and make it to the quarterfinals. The tournament had several upsets and surprise results, which included the defending champions France being eliminated in the group stage after earning a single point without scoring a goal and second favourites Argentina also being eliminated in the group stage. However, the most potent team at the tournament, Brazil , prevailed, winning the final against Germany 2—0, making them the first and only country to have won the World Cup five times.

Four years ago, on that balmy night against Argentina in St Etienne, he had trotted off the pitch head bowed, his world shattered. This time, the endorphins racing after his first-half penalty had given England a deserved win, there was just the broadest smile. He bore the look of a man who had exorcised a demon or two. And, if truth be told, so did the rest of his England team. Last year Germany, now Argentina. What next?
