    The story heading into Korea/Japan 2002

    • What was expected and what transpired were wildly different

    • Argentina and France were the favourites, while Brazil looked in disarray

    We all remember how the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan™ ended, the index finger of a Brazilian with wacky hair pointing to the Yokohama heavens to signal the completion of a mind-blowing resurrection story. That, however, was never in the script. FIFA looks at the story heading into tournament.

    Based on average prices from the bookmakers. Argentina (7/2) France (4/1) Italy (6/1) Brazil (7/1) Germany (8/1) England (9/1) Spain (10/1) Portugal (12/1)

    Paolo Maldini made it 2,217 World Cup minutes by playing every second of Italy’s campaign. This surpassed the 2,052 minutes Lothar Matthaus racked up, despite the German going to one more tournament and participating in two more matches than the Italian. Lionel Messi broke Maldini's minutes record in 2022. Maldini also extended his own record for the most extra-time appearances in the World Cup to five in the Far East, following up his run-outs against Argentina (1990), Nigeria, Brazil (both 1994) and France (1998) against Korea Republic in the last 16.
