We've waited long enough. It's finally here, the World Cup 2002 hosted by Korea and Japan. The world's most important tournament is an event that captures the interest of nearly every country in the world (with the possible exception of the United States and Canada), reaching a total audience of 1 billion people, over a month filled with ups, downs, and all-arounds.
It should be a very interesting tournament, with powerhouses like France, Argentina, Brazil, and Italy vying for the all-important bragging rights of World Champion. But upstarts like Portugal, Nigeria, and Croatia are also out to prove their value and class against the historically dominant countries.
So, whether you are a casual sports fan or hardcore fanatic, AskMen.com is happy to guide you along with a preview of all 32 teams along with player profiles on the likely stars of the 2002 tournament. Good match and good luck.
