Brazil Wins The World Cup, And Ronaldo Finishes The Match He Would Not StartJUNE 30, 2002 · 18:05
Brazil beat Germany 2-0 in Yokohama. The winning goals were both headers, both set up by a man with nine assists in the tournament, one of which is still being argued about, three years later, by everybody.
THE CUP. IT WAS NEW. IT WAS NOT SCRATCHED, WHICH PEOPLE NOTED AT THE TIME.

THE CUP. IT WAS NEW. IT WAS NOT SCRATCHED, WHICH PEOPLE NOTED AT THE TIME.
YOKOHAMA, June 30 -- Brazil won the World Cup this evening, beating Germany 2-0 with two second-half headers in a final that the winning team's manager spent the closing minutes of conceding to his assistant was a mistake.
The tournament's top scorer was a Brazilian striker who played 23 minutes of professional football before the competition began, having been injured for two years, and who is now the most expensive player in the history of the sport.
