Description: Opinions prior to the qualifying stages of the World Cup 2002

Newest Review: ... qualified. Group C Obviously, Brazil, although they struggled to qualify, were favourties to top the group. Costa Rica or Turkey were expected to be chasing them close behind, and of course, China were predicted to come last. Of course, as we all know, Brazil and Turkey qualified. However, China and Costa Rica did not go home without putting up a fight. Group D Portugal and Poland were ... more

And about its status as a go-ahead, thrusting nation. And these two things, perhaps worryingly for Roy Keane, are linked.
