How Brazil won the 2002 FIFA World Cup...

This is the story of the 2002 FIFA World Cup. It is the story of how Ronaldo and Brazil got redemption from their awful 1998 Final defeat. It is also the story of the 3 R's Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Rivaldo. One of the greatest front 3s in football history. It is also the story of some of the worst officiating ever seen throughout a World Cup.

What? Only 1.5k subs? You deserve waaay more! Keep it up, my dude, great videos!

Ronaldo is truly an inspiration for someone who is failed in life and think he can't recover.

R9 wasn’t the same player he was a few years earlier, but he managed to adapt to more of a poaching role and he still scored 8 goals.

Good video yet again. However I think Germany got way less credit than they deserve. Until the Final, Germany scored 14 goals while Oliver Kahn conceded only once. Their opening game was one of the biggest wins ever in a World Cup when they beat Saudi Arabia 8:0. Oliver Kahn literally carried the team almost alone to the finals.

Then there's also the story of Turkey. They managed to finally qualify again after 46 years and reached the 3rd place while also scoring the fastest World Cup goal ever.

What's also worth mentioning is that most major teams didn't make it far: The Dutch didn't qualify, Argentina exited after the group stage, reigning World and Euro Champs France completely embarrassed themselves.

Thank you for sharing, it was my second World Cup overall, the first where I could watch my national team (Poland).
Brazil was insane back in those times, most of their players deserved without a question winning this title, the 3 R's especially.
Great video!

This is possibly the worst offiaciated world cup ever. I really feel sorry for Italy and Spain.

These vidoes get better and better, keep it up!

The Officiating in WC2002 was excellent - in fact, it was the very best money could buy.

Phenomenal work my friend!! Very well done, subscribed!! Keep it up :)

Great video! That Korea Italy referee was ridiculous! Didn't pay attention to the fact many refs were awful in this tournament! Thank you!

2002 Brazil 🇧🇷 squad was great even though R9 was a shell of himself. Rivaldo is underrated, Roberto Carlos and Cafu were the best defensive unit since Djalma and Nilton Santos.

A Team so good they were lead by 3 ballon d’Or level players and even had a 4th in a young Ricardo Kaka warming the bench.

Just subscribed, please finish the series and maybe try a EUROs, AFCON or UCL series like this (hope i'm not asking for much)

[Chadner]

4:01, fyi, that's a different Luizão, this the CB that played for Cruzeiro and Benfica, the one from 2002 who got us the penalty was the striker who played for Corinthians, Palmeiras and Hertha Berlin,

[milanidis]

The first WC in Asia and the last one won by a non-European side (until 2022 that is). Thanks again for a great memory refresher! It's a pity how obviously bad refereeing stole the show... it was so biased towards S.Korea, who ended up 4th - Turkey destroyed their dreams of a medal in the end.
A bravura of a legend (O.Kahn) and his practical farewell to the 1st team (he played only one match as a starter in 2006), and a great intro to the Germany's omnipresence in the top 3, peaking in 2014. But that's still far away ;)
Keep up the good work!

The World Cup has several moments of revenge. Italy and Spain were unfairly treated but they went on to win the next two World cups

[LovroStebljaj]

when I heard that you have 1, 5k subs I was shocked such a great video you deserve much much more

[anomapingire]

The horrible officiating is why this World Cup cannot be considered an all-time classic

[master-kqnw]
