The
future beckons Ronaldo
The famous gap-toothed smile slowly faded, Ronaldo's
joy tempered by a sense of chances lost – and regained.
"I'm slowly realising what happened," he said.
"My happiness and my emotion are so great |

World
watches as Ronaldo?s genius is reborn
At the end of the game some fans standing in a row behind one of the
goals held up the letters of Ronaldo's name in big white capitals,
just like the Hollywood sign. And, after a couple of days of injury
scares, what a show he had put on to win the game in the fifth
minute of the second half.
Soccer
set for return to unsafe European home
The beautiful game will return to more familiar
grounds for the next World Cup in Germany in four years' time, with
fewer hurdles to clear but greater worries that ugly scenes might
stain the show.

Kahn:
Once beaten, twice shy
It took the genius of Ronaldo to unlock the German goal but

World Cup will be corruption-free: Condon
The 2003 Cricket World Cup in South Africa will be
free of corruption and match-fixing, the International Cricket
Commission (ICC) said on Thursday. Speaking at the inaugural ICC
Cricket Business Forum at Lords, Paul Condon, director of the ICC's
anti corruption unit said: "Preparations for the 2003 World Cup
are going very well.
Bossa
Nova, not Samba, the key for Brazil
In the 1950s, a new style of music – the Bossa Nova
– emerged from Brazil. While reams have been written on the
difference between Samba and Bossa, essentially the Bossa Nova is a
cooler, more restrained rhythm as opposed to the frenzy of Samba. It
is this restraint that the Brazilians will need against Germany in
the World Cup final on Sunday.
Cafu
is Brazil's inspiration
Brazil captain Cafu will write another chapter in his
illustrious 12-year international career on Sunday when he becomes
the first man to play in three World Cup finals.

Brazil
need to play more like a team
It was Ronaldo’s brilliance that helped four-time
champions Brazil make their seventh final. And it took them 48
minutes to break the strong and organised Turkish defence. Maybe the
biggest surprise of all is that, despite six previous appearances
each in the final, Brazil and Germany have never met in the World
Cup.

JEONJU, South Korea (AFP): Portuguese coach
Antonio Oliveira made two changes to the side that sensationally

the side that will face Poland here on Monday. Rui Costa is replaced
by Sporting Lisbon midfielder Paulo Bento after his dismal
performance against the Americans. Beto, who had an equally torrid
time against the United States, loses his place to Boavista right
back Frechaut. Poland have one enforced change from the side that
lost 2-0.
