The 2006 FIFA World Cup is the current FIFA World Cup, the finals of which are being held in Germany. The FIFA World Cup is the football (soccer) world championship, contested by men's national football teams, and organised by FIFA, the international governing body for football. The championship cycle culminates every four years in a finals tournament to decide which country's men's football team will be awarded the FIFA World Cup title. The host country and football federation for the 2006 FIFA World Cup finals tournament is Germany, who in June 2000, won the right to host the event, beating bids from South Africa (which will host the 2010 World Cup), Brazil, England and Morocco.
The 2006 FIFA World Cup, the eighteenth such championship, began in December 2003 with 198 countries entering the draw for a series of qualification tournaments and play-offs that resulted in 32 national teams qualifying for the finals tournament.
The finals tournament of the 2006 World Cup began on 9 June 2006 and is scheduled to end on 9 July 2006. A total of 64 games will be played. The first stage was the Group stage, where the 32 teams were divided into 8 groups of 4 teams each. The teams in these groups of four competed in three-round round-robin tournaments to find two teams from each group (a total of 16) to advance to the knock-out stage. The Group stage was completed on 23 June 2006. The knockout stage started on 24 June 2006, and progressive elimination of teams through quarter-finals and semi-finals, will finish with the World Cup Final, the final match on 9 July 2006. The World Cup Final played in Berlin will determine the World Cup champion.

2006 FIFA World Cup miscellany
Participation
* The 2006 tournament features the most national teams making their first appearance in the World Cup finals (8) since there were ten first-time participants in the second competition in 1934. The eight national teams making their debut are Angola, Cote d'Ivoire, Czech Republic,[1] Ghana, Serbia & Montenegro,[2] Togo, Trinidad & Tobago, and Ukraine.[3]
* As well as the defending champions Brazil, there are five former FIFA World Cup champions competing in the 2006 FIFA World Cup: Germany, Italy, France, Argentina, and England. Of the former FIFA World Cup champions, only Uruguay failed to qualify, being defeated by Australia in a qualifying play-off for one of the places.
* This is the first[4] World Cup with a team representing a country that has ceased to exist prior to the start of the tournament. Serbia and Montenegro split into Serbia and Montenegro on June 5, 2006. The Serbia and Montenegro footballers played under a flag no longer displayed in their countries. The team contained only one player born in Montenegro, Dragoslav Jevri?. (Another Montenegrin, Mirko Vu?ini?, had to return home as a result of an injury.)[5]
* Australia is making its first appearance in 32 years, the longest such drought for any qualifier not making its first appearance.
* According to the May 2006 FIFA World Rankings (the last rankings prior to the start of the tournament), the highest ranked teams to fail to qualify were Denmark and Nigeria (tied for 11th). The lowest ranked team that qualified for the competition was Togo (61st). [6]
* Five of the participating teams were coached by Brazilians - Brazil (Carlos Alberto Parreira), Costa Rica (Alexandre Guimaraes - now actually a naturalised Costa Rican), Japan (Zico), Portugal (Luiz Felipe Scolari) and Saudi Arabia (Marcos Paqueta).
* Four of the participating national teams had a Dutch coach - The Netherlands (Marco van Basten), South Korea (Dick Advocaat), Trinidad and Tobago (Leo Beenhakker), and Australia (Guus Hiddink).

Competition
[edit]
Individual
* Brazil's Ronaldo beat Gerd Müller's all-time FIFA World Cup finals scoring record with 15 goals, moving past Pelé (12), with whom he was tied at the start of the tournament, and Just Fontaine (13).[7]
* David Beckham became the first England player to score in 3 FIFA World Cup Finals after his goal against Ecuador in the 2nd Round. He scored against Colombia in 1998, and Argentina in 2002.
* The 2,000th goal in the history of the FIFA World Cup tournament was scored by Marcus Allb?ck of Sweden against England on 20 June[8]
* Philipp Lahm of Germany was the first goal scorer in the 2006 World Cup, with a strike just outside the 18 yard box.
* The first booking in the 2006 World Cup was a yellow card given to Danny Fonseca of Costa Rica in the 30th minute of the first game against Germany. The first red card was given to Avery John of Trinidad and Tobago after his second yellow card in the 46th minute against Sweden. The first straight red card was given to Vladislav Vashchuk of Ukraine against Spain in the 47th minute, which resulted in the awarding of the first penalty kick to David Villa.
* Sami Al-Jaber of Saudi Arabia became the first Asian player ever to score in 3 World Cups, when he scored against Tunisia. He had scored a penalty goal against Morocco in the 1994 FIFA World Cup, and another penalty goal against South Africa in the 1998 FIFA World Cup
* As of 18 June, Asamoah Gyan of Ghana scored the fastest goal in FIFA World Cup 2006, scoring just 1 minute and 10 seconds into the match against the Czech Republic, though this is not a FIFA World Cup finals record. Carlos Gamarra of Paraguay scored the fastest own goal in World Cup finals history in the first round match between England and Paraguay.
* In the match of Germany vs Ecuador, Miroslav Klose scored at the 4th minute, and his 4th goal of the competition was at the 44th minute. In 2002, he scored all 5 goals with his head, in 2006 he scores all 4 goals with his feet.
* Paraguay vs. England saw the fastest goalkeeper substitution in FIFA World Cup finals history as Justo Villar suffered a calf injury in the 8th minute clearing a ball and had to be taken out of the game.[citation needed]
[edit]
Team - Group Stage
* The opening match of the 2006 FIFA World Cup had the most goals of any opening match in FIFA history, with 6 goals (Germany 4; Costa Rica 2) compared to the next-best 1930 opening match with 5 goals (France 4; Mexico 1). Italy's 7-1 victory over the USA in 1934 was one of 8 simultaneous first round matches on the opening day and as such is not considered an opening match.
* C?te d'Ivoire (vs Serbia and Montenegro) are the only team which won a match after trailing by two goals at some point. Australia (vs. Japan), Korea (vs. Togo), Spain (vs. Tunisia), Poland (vs. Costa Rica) and Brazil (vs. Japan) each won a game after trailing by one goal.
* Teams recording their first ever World Cup finals goal were Angola (Flavio Amado), Australia (Tim Cahill), C?te d'Ivoire (Didier Drogba), Czech Republic (Jan Koller), Ghana (Asamoah Gyan), Serbia and Montenegro (Nikola ?igi?), Togo (Mohamed Kader), and Ukraine (Andriy Rusol).
* Teams recording their first ever World Cup finals victory were Australia, C?te d'Ivoire, Czech Republic, Ghana, and Ukraine.
* For the first time in a World Cup finals, in Argentina's victory over Serbia and Montenegro, all three players of a team who entered a match as substitutes scored one goal. (Esteban Cambiasso sub on at the 17th min, score on 31st min., Carlos Tévez sub on at the 59th min, score on 84th min., Lionel Messi sub on at the 75th min, score on 88th min.)
* Two-thirds of the way through the Group stage, eight of the thirty-two teams had clinched qualification to the second round and seven teams had been mathematically eliminated from contention. Only in Group E were all four teams neither mathematically eliminated nor guaranteed qualification into the second round. No four-way ties were possible, and only one three-way tie was still possible (in Group G).
* At the end of the Group stage, there were only two ties. One was in group C for 1st/2nd place, and was won by Argentina ahead of the Netherlands on goal difference. The other tie was in Group H for 3rd/4th place, and was won by Tunisia ahead of Saudi Arabia on goal difference.
* Heading into the final set of group games, there were seven scenarios that could have required the drawing of lots, but none of these scenarios came to pass. The group that came closest to being settled by the drawing of lots was Group G, where the double result France 2-0 Togo and Korea 1-1 Switzerland remained a possibility until Switzerland scored in the 77th minute to go 2-0 up. The potential drawing of lots had been scheduled for 11:30pm, but in the end was not required.
* Only Ghana and France entered their final matches in lower than second place in its group (both entered in third) and still managed to qualify for their next rounds.
* England's victory over Paraguay is the first 1-0 final score in World Cup finals history to have been decided by an own goal. England were the first team to lead its group without a goal scored by its players.[citation needed]
* Switzerland was the only team not to concede a goal in the group stage, ending on a goal difference of +4 (GF 4, GA 0).
* Group B is the group where most own goals (2) were scored. Carlos Gamarra (Paraguay) against England, and Brent Sancho (Trinidad and Tobago) against Paraguay.
Team - Second Round
* This was the sixth world cup in a row where an African nation has progressed to the second round, and the first ever where an Oceanic nation progressed.
* Teams advancing out of the first round for the first time are Ukraine, Australia, Ecuador and Ghana. Ukraine was the only one of them to advance to the quarter finals.
* With reference to the May 2006 FIFA Rankings:
o The average rank of the teams that progressed was 19.00.
o The average rank of eliminated teams was 30.25.
o Switzerland (35) was the lowest ranked team to win a group.
o Ghana (48) was the lowest ranked team to progress to the second round.
o The Czech Republic (2) was the highest ranked team to be eliminated in the group stage.
o The USA (5) was the highest ranked team to come last in its group.
o Group E was the only group where the third and fourth ranked teams (Italy (13) and Ghana (48)) progressed.
o Group B - England (10), Sweden (16), Paraguay (33) and Trinidad and Tobago (47) - was the only group where the final group placings directly corresponded to the May 2006 FIFA rankings.
o In four out of eight cases the lowest ranked team in the group progressed. These were Group A: Ecuador (39), Group E: Ghana (48), Group F: Australia (42), and Group H: Ukraine (45).
* Although Czech Republic (Group E) and Korea Republic (Group G) topped their groups after their first game, they failed to progress to the Round of 16.
* Portugal received the most yellow cards (9) in one game (against the Netherlands). The match also saw the most red cards (two to each side) in a single match in the history of the World Cup Finals, and tied the record of most yellow cards in a single match (16- 9 to Portugal, 7 to Netherlands).
* This was considered, until the last day of the Group Stage, the first World Cup to have all six confederations in the Second Round. But with the loss of Korea Republic to Switzerland, Korea Republic did not qualify, and so there was no team from AFC.
o From UEFA: Germany, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, Ukraine, England, Portugal, Netherlands, Spain and France - 10 teams
o From CONMEBOL: Argentina, Ecuador and Brazil - 3 teams
o From CONCACAF: Mexico - 1 team
o From OFC: Australia - 1 team
o From CAF: Ghana - 1 team
* Switzerland became the first team ever not to concede a goal in a world cup final tournament, and the first team to be eliminated despite not conceding any goals. They also became the first team not to score during kicks from the penalty mark in a World Cup.
* Of the six former champions in the competition, all six have advanced to the quarter finals. The only non-former champions still in the competition are Portugal and Ukraine.
* Six group winners advanced from the Round of 16 to the quarter-finals. The other two places in the quarter-finals were taken by teams who came second in their groups, Ukraine and France, who defeated Switzerland and Spain respectively.

* For the first time at a World Cup, match officials were equipped with microphones and earpieces so they can communicate better with each other during each game.
* The 2006 tournament featured a fifth official as a substitute for the referee's assistants. Although the fifth official can view a video monitor he isn't wired up to the referee's microphone and cannot therefore communicate what he sees directly to the referee.
* Of the twelve hosting stadia, only Zentralstadion in Leipzig is in the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany). Olympiastadion is in what was West Berlin and while it was certainly not within the old GDR, it was also not officially part of the Federal Republic of Germany either.
* Adidas has supplied personalized match balls for every match of the tournament. On each of these "Teamgeist" balls the date of the match and the names of the national teams involved will appear. The ball used for the final match will be a special gold colour.
* Two of team suppliers, Adidas and PUMA, are headquartered in Herzogenaurach, Germany. This is because their founders, Adolf Dassler and Rudolf Dassler respectively, are brothers.
* The mascots for the competition are the lion Goleo VI and Pille, a talking football.
* The official logo design, The Smiling Faces, incorporates the logo of the 2002 FIFA World Cup: a stylised version of the FIFA World Cup Trophy.
* The county of Bad Kissingen is the only one to host two teams. Ecuador are based in the city of Bad Kissingen and Croatia in Bad Brückenau.[citation needed]
* The 2006 FIFA World Cup was the first one to give environmental protection official project status with the "Green Goal" initiative.

* Spanish is the principal language of six represented countries, more than any other language, including five countries where it is the official tongue (Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Paraguay and Spain), and one (Mexico) where it is de facto the main language. This is followed by French and English, there being five competing countries where each is a principal language (C?te d'Ivoire, France, Switzerland, Tunisia, and Togo all have French as an official language, while English has official status in Ghana and Trinidad & Tobago, and is the main tongue in Australia, England and the USA). Portuguese is represented by three nations (Angola, Brazil, and Portugal). German (Germany and Switzerland), Italian (Italy and Switzerland), and Arabic (Saudi Arabia and Tunisia) are each represented in two. No other language has official status in more than one qualified nation.
* The World Cup causes a significant decrease in Internet traffic.AMS-IX, an Internet relay company in the Netherlands, stated that during the match of the Netherlands against Serbia and Montenegro, there was a massive decrease in Dutch Internet usage, only coming back up lightly during half-time.
* Before the match between Korea Republic and Togo, the organisers played the Korean national anthem twice before correctly playing the Togolese one.

* Hyundai Motor Company will supply 32 brand-new buses for use by the teams. To promote the tournament, a contest was held on the tournament's website. If a fan could supply a good slogan for their favorite team's bus, they would win tickets to the opening match. The 32 winning slogans were announced on May 22, 2006 and can be seen here.
* The vocal group, Il Divo, and R&B singer, Toni Braxton, sang the official song Time of Our Lives . The official album was released in May 2006 which also included a special version of Shakira's newest hit "Hips Don't Lie".
* Due to the official beer sponsor of the 2006 FIFA World Cup being Anheuser-Busch, hundreds of Dutch fans wearing orange lederhosen, which were part of Dutch brewer Bavaria's marketing campaign, were forced to take to the stands in their underwear.
* In the game between Australia and Croatia, referee Graham Poll showed Croatia's Josip ?imuni? a second yellow card, but, confusingly, did not send him off after marking his match card incorrectly with the name of Australian defender Craig Moore. Poll later showed him a third yellow and this time showed him the red.
* PUMA supplies the kit to 12 of the 32 finalists, making it the leader in this category. Adidas and Nike are joint runners-up with 7 each, while Umbro and Lotto supply two teams each, and Marathon and Joma furnish a single team each. The only group without a Puma-supplied team is Group G. In Group E, only the USA do not wear Puma kits.
* Some hotels where teams lived during the tournament removed Western symbols. I. e.: At the hotel where Saudi-Arabia lived, hotel officials removed bibles, Coca-Cola, beer and other Western symbols. The hotel management also glued arrows at the wall into the direction where Mecca is for praying.
