Dec 14, 1997 IT'S A DRAW Football World Wup: Politics aside, the draw for the 1998 soccer extravaganza in France has been along predictable lines, though arguments will continue till the kick off By CHRISTOPHER CLAREY I t was a smooth night for the French and the Brazilians, and a rough night for the Americans and the Spaniards. The draw for the 1998 World Cup finals was held in the tradition-rich confines of Marseilles' Stade-Velodrome, and when the last shivering soccer celebrity had pulled the last name out of the transparent bowls on the chilly outdoor stage, the 32 teams had been divided into eight first-round groups, and the world had its quadrennial conversation piece. Over the next six months, there will be debates on every continent, with the possible exception of Antarctica, over the relative merits of the teams that will compete in France from June 10 to July 12. Most of the debaters will conclude that Brazil is the favorite. Under Coach Mario Zagallo, the defending champions are more offensive-minded than when they won the cup for a record fourth time in 1994 in Los Angeles. For anyone needing proof, Ronaldo, Zagallo's new striker, provided the evidence. In an exhibition all-star match that preceded the draw, Ronaldo finished with two goals in a 5-2 victory for the Rest of the World over the Europeans. The Brazilians have other new stars in Denilson and the brilliant fullback and free-kick virtuoso Roberto Carlos. They have veteran stars in Leonardo, Cafu, Dunga and, if he can regain his form of last summer, Romario.

Brazil in all 17 Football World Cups (1930-2002) - Geraldo Muzzi The day the 17 th Football World Cup Games ended in Yokohama, Japan on the 30 th of June 2002, Brazil was the only country to have been present in all the World Cup final rounds and also emerged Champions of the Cup. The world championship has been sponsored by FIFA, the international football association, since 1930 when the first Jules Rimet Cup was played in Uruguay, with only 13 countries competing. Since 1930, FIFA has grown tremendously and today there are 213 countries affiliated to it, even more than the 190 members of the UN. Present in all 17 editions of the most important sports competition in the world, Brazil was champion 5 times, runners up twice, 3 rd place twice and 4 th place once. After the results of the World Cup 2002, the difference in points between Brazil and Germany increased even more.

Here is the full list of club-teams with the real names Even after you've changed the names, you'll notice that the commentators still call the teams by their fake names. Konami have included an option in the edit-mode (go to Edit Club Teams) to be unlocked though, by which you can let the commentator call the real names of the club-teams ! Therefor you have to win the Konami-cup with any clubteam. Some of the names still aren't there, like Arsenal (which is still called London) and Juventus (still referred to as Piemonte). Once you've unlocked this feature, you'll also notice that the developpers have clearly chosen to let gamers create other teams. The list of teams which you can let be announced by the commentators is pretty extensive ! Here are some of the teams included: Aberdeen, Berlin, Birmingham, Bremen, Bruxelles (the first Belgian glimpse in the game ! finally...), Coventry, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Goteborg, Ipswich, Koln, Lisbon, Nantes, Porto, Stutgart and Utrecht.

ALT Victoria Shannon CAPITAL MARKETS Carl Gewirtz THINKING AHEAD Reginald Dale OPINION Philip Bowring CYCLING Samuel Abt FOOTBALL Rob Hughes In Today's Newspaper Front Page Opinion Finance Sports ... Subscriptions Painter Captures the Passion, Confrontation and Art of Soccer Vantage Point / Commentary By Rob Hughes International Herald Tribune LONDON - Never in his wildest flights of fantasy did Lilian Thuram imagine himself scoring the two goals with which France became a World Cup finalist for the first time. Defenders are, in essence, suppressers of dreams and even a right back as adventurous as Thuram had not scored once in his 37 previous matches for his country. Yet the message, in the form of canvas, was on the wall. In a Paris gallery not far from Stade de France where Thuram provided the brushstrokes of history, a painting that could almost have been a premonition depicted him sweeping the ball powerfully, majestically toward the goal. The art was there before the act. Another painting in the collection depicted what could only be Ronaldo, the Brazil center forward, muscling his way past a defender in French blue. ''I never met them, any of them,'' said Aroldo Governatori, the artist. ''I made these paintings two years ago. I feel an affinity to those who perform - in music, in ballet, in football. Where you have life, you have art.'' Really? The World Cup final was, as Governatori's instinct had seemed to pre-record, between France and Brazil. But Ronaldo nearly didn't make it, and for the good of his health arguably should not have. Laurent Blanc, the defender who most closely resembles the man attempting to go stride for stride with Ronaldo in the painting, was banned from the final because a Croatian opponent, Slaven Bilic, feigned injury in the semifinal and Blanc was red-carded.

"With the addition of the United States' most exciting player and team captain in Marcelo Balboa, the Colorado Rapids continue their dedication to entertaining soccer on the field," said Rapids General Manager Richard A. Levine. "We are thrilled the league was able to sign Marcelo and delighted that he will playing here in Colorado. As the captain for the U.S. National Team we have gained the finest ambassador for soccer in this country."
