| Welcome to what was the
The USA 2002 World Cup Resource Page
. Well, I was there, and a glorious time it was. Please see my Pictures Pages as well as the following internet journal I did for 3rd Degree : Notes 1: The Arrival | Notes 2: Adjusting | Notes 3: Post Portugal | Notes 4: Encounters | Notes 5: Partying with Costa Ricans | Notes 6: Korea | Notes 7: Crying with Costa Ricans | Notes 8: Poland | Notes 9: Pride of CONCACAF | Notes 10: Another Implausible Dream | Notes 11: Homesickness Hits Home | Notes 12: A Day of Rest | Notes 13: The Party's Over, Let the Party Begin! | Notes 14: You Can't Win POST-CUP COMMENTARIES
Below are different commentaries about the Cup and the US. Hopefully the links stay active. Top ten ways to get people even more interested in soccer. (David Letterman) 10. Rename the game "Deathball 3000" (LD) 9. From now on, you can't use your feet either (Reyna) 8. Constitutional amendment stating if U.S. wins World Cup, every American gets a brand new car (JOB) 7. More players who look like Mia Hamm and fewer players who look like Davor Vugrinec (Clint) 6. Instead of "GOOOOL!" have that announcer guy yell "Yahtzee!" (Berhalter) 5. Printed on every red card a collectable Star Wars photo (Agoos) 4. Drunken Goalie Monkeys (Friedel) (My favorite) 3. Find a way to involve that hilarious San Diego Chicken (Sanneh) 2. You mean millions of Americans aren't getting up in the middle of the night to watch us play? (JMM) 1. Give Tiger Woods a soccer ball, America will never lose again (Cobi) You want it all in one place? Well, this was supposed to be it. From either the team page or the Groups page, you should be able to get to any teams' official page (if it has one), how the team qualified, FIFA's World Cup page on the team, and some sort of team analysis. Most recently -- see my Predictions ! (The warning was, "I am in NO way responsible for any wagers made on these predictions -- I HIGHLY recommend against it!" And needless to say, hopefully you listened!) Also, check out the projected lineups for all Group D matches.
Group D --
USA
The Complete Schedule (by Group and Daily) is exactly what it sounds like -- the complete schedule of World Cup '02 broken down by group and a daily schedule. The General Information about Korea and Japan page has all I can scrounge up about the two countries beyond soccer. It also includes a stadium guide . |

comments, suggestions, questions or content, PLEASE
contact me!
More than anything, I want this to be the ultimate
resource and also to get it right, so please let me know if something
needs to be corrected.
This is especially true of the hangul, which you will find sprinkled around the pages. Hangul is the Korean script, and needless to say, I am an amateur at it and I may not get it exactly right. As an example, the saying above, "An-nyeong-ha-se-yo" is supposed to be a greeting which literally means, "Are you at peace?" but is supposed to be used as "good afternoon." I hope it also says the same as, "eo-seo o-se-yo," or welcome. The hangul above, "Seo-u-re ka-go shi-p'eo-yo!" is supposed to be, "I want to go to Seoul!"
