The World Cup final deserves lots of goals — be they flukey toe-pokes or moments of magic.
It’s got a slightly lavatorial feel to it. A little like Waterloo. Is this to be the battleground that ends England’s world?
For any youngsters out there who watched Brazil beat Costa Rica 5-2 here’s a word of advice. Don’t try that at home. Your coach and watching grandparents will have a bloody heart attack.
Suddenly the arrogant Europeans are quaking in their precious Predators.
Finally, it all kicks off. Holders France, with 11 overseas-based stars, against outsiders Senegal, with 11 French-based wannabes. Typically, the opening game of this topsy-turvy 2002 World Cup throws up a wonderful contradiction.
