Did Brazil rig it, in handsight? Easy path to the final. France and Argentina (hehe by us) eliminated in the group stage. Spain and Italy vs South Korean refball. Weak Germany in the final
South Korea rigged it. Brazil just had the best team.
We reached 3 consecutive finals, we just used to be that elite.
This tournament is the last time USA won in a knockout round at a World Cup
>>154479172Robbed in 1998 as well. The French poisoned Ronaldo before the final and it was explained away as epilepsy.
uh, hexabros?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGwjQqXu_IM
>>154479117They were the better team, at most you can say that the second red card in the group stage match against Turkey was absolute bullshit that was the referees' fault.
>>154479852Absolutely based, they poisoned Ronaldo, it was clear as day, and Zidane was definitely involved in it. >>154479117Brazil had the better team. Our win against England proved that. During those years 1994-2002 we were unstoppable, such an incredible batch of players in every position.
>>154479117You guys took our World Cup virginity in 1958 , we are forever grateful for that.
>>154479117no they were just good
against Turkey in the group stages we were given a penalty that was actually a foul outside the areathen Belgium scored a legit goal that was called off
>>154479117The World Cup was just that bad. Realistically, only Italy and England could've potentially stopped Brazil. But Italy got Koread and England were unfortunate that Ronaldinho was exceptionally inspired that game.
>>154480009Karma by eliminating peak Czech generation in WCQ
It was US who had the easy path to the final. We had an easy grp and had fucking Paraguay, USA, Worst Korea afterwards AND only got past them with Kahn delivering a host tournament until the final.
>>154479117No, South Korea did, eliminating Italy and Spain. But they were in the other part of the bracket, so Brazil had to play one of these teams in the final, and I don't think that Germany was weaker than them.
>>154479117Pretty much everyone was shit in 2002. Brazil just a bit less so than the rest.
>>154479172When England does this everybody seethes
>>154479172>We
>>154479140This.God I still vaguely remember the rigging.
