Matchball Adidas Fevernova OMB [Football World Cup 2002 Japan / South Korea]

Product Information

Brazil's win was their fifth World Cup title, which remains a record as of 2023 [update]. Ronaldo was named the man of the match, while Kahn was awarded the Golden Ball as FIFA's outstanding player of the tournament. Brazil's manager, Luiz Felipe Scolari, expressed "the joy of knowing we did our job", while noting that it was "full of very hard work". His German counterpart Rudi Völler said, "When you lose a game, the disappointment is great, of course. But it is no shame to lose against a team like Brazil." At the next World Cup in Germany in 2006, Brazil were eliminated in the quarter-final by France while Germany reached the semi-final stage on home soil and eventually finished third. The modern day football is a factor in football today. Those who can master the ability to manipulate the ball have a "true" advantage. The win marked Brazil's fifth World Cup title, which as of 2023 [update] remains the record, ahead of Germany and Italy with four titles each.

[54] Ronaldo was named as the official man of the match, while Kahn was awarded the Golden Ball for the best individual player of the tournament as a whole – as of 2023 [update] the only goalkeeper to receive that award. [55] He also received the Lev Yashin Award (known since 2010 as the Golden Glove) for best goalkeeper at the tournament. [56] After the tournament, FIFA conducted a video review of the incident in the first Brazil–Turkey game involving Ünsal and Rivaldo and decided to fine the Brazilian 11,670 Swiss francs for deceiving the referee.
