Group E
Germany vs Saudi
Arabia
Germany couldn't have hoped of getting a better start to their 2002
World Cup campaign, even if the eight goals scored in Sapporo were against lowly Saudi
Arabia.
Germany vs Ireland
Germany paid the price for thinking the game was already won and
suffering a lack of concentration at the back, as Robbie Keane slipped through Linke and
Ramelow to smash a drive past Ollie Kahn's left ear.
Cameroon vs Germany
With 16 bookings and two sending-offs, we were lucky that this game
still had two teams on the pitch at the final whistle.
Knockout Stage
Germany vs Paraguay (Second
Round)
Paraguay showed urgency in the last minute but Germany had already won
the cat and mouse game, for a place in the Quarter-final.
Germany vs United States
(Quarter-final)
Germany hung on, thanks to one goal and one magnificent goalkeeper;
Oliver Kahn.
Germany vs South Korea
(Semi-final)
Michael Ballack put his country in the 2002 World Cup Final, four
minutes after he knew he would miss the next game himself.
Germany vs Brazil - 2002 World Cup Final
Time ran out for Germany but at least they're sure of a place in the
