2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/JapanT - Final Day

BRAZIL ARE THE CHAMPIONS

Ronaldo buried the ghosts of 98 by scoring the goals that gave Brazil their FIFTH World Cup title.

The Inter Milan superstar missed two good first half chances, but made up for it with two strikes in the second half.

The first came after Goalkeeper of the tournament, Oliver Kahn spilt a shot by Rivaldo and Ronaldo was on hand to smash the ball past the despairing German keeper. The second was total proof that he was back to his best with a super strike from the edge of the box which went in off the post.

Both teams hit the woodwork, and Germany were unlucky not to take the lead through Oliver Neuville who's 30 yard free kick was brilliantly saved by Marcos

The final whistle was greeted by huge celebration as Cafu lifted the World Cup to huge applause, and whilst the whole team deserved their victory, it was the image of tearful Ronaldo which emphasised that he deserved this more than anyone, and now after four years of torment and injury, the World's greatest striker can once again enjoy his football, as a World Cup winner!
