Template:Infobox Football World Cup The 2006 FIFA World Cup was the 18th edition of the FIFA World Cup, the quadrennial international association football world championship tournament. It was held from June 9 2006 to July 9 2006 in Germany, which won the right to host the event in July 2000. Italy won its fourth world championship, defeating France 5-3 in a penalty shootout after extra time finished in a 1-1 draw. Germany finished third and Portugal fourth.

Teams representing 198 national football associations from all six continents participated in the qualification process which began in December 2003 to narrow the field down to the 32 teams which advanced to the finals tournament. Each national association had to confirm its 23-player squad in May 2006.

Tournament summary

Qualifying countries

The finals tournament of the 2006 World Cup began on June 9 2006 with a group stage for which the 32 teams were divided into eight groups of four teams each. Within each group, the teams competed in a round-robin tournament to determine which two of those four teams would advance to the 16-team knockout stage, which started on June 24 2006. In total, 64 games were played.

Teamgeist™ the official ball of the World Cup.

The tournament culminated in the World Cup Final, played in Berlin on July 9 2006, and which saw Italy triumph over France. After the regulation 90 minutes, the score was level at 1-1, forcing extra time to be played. The extra time proved goalless and a penalty shootout followed, which Italy won 5-3. It was the first all-European final since Italy won the 1982 FIFA World Cup, and the second final (1994 was first) to be decided on penalties. A day earlier, Germany, the host nation, beat Portugal 3-1 in Stuttgart for third place.

Despite early success by Australia and Ghana, the tournament marked a return to dominance of the traditional football powers. Four years after a 2002 tournament in which teams from North America (United States), Africa (Senegal), and Asia (South Korea) made runs deep into the knockout stages and a relatively unheralded European side (Turkey) finished third, none of the quarterfinalists were from outside Europe or South America.

Tournament favorites and defending champions Brazil were knocked out 1-0 by France in the quarterfinals, while Germany, runners-up from 2002, lost 2-0 to Italy in the semifinals in extra time.

Italy's World Cup championship did not rely on any one player in particular: Their 12 goals were scored by 10 different players. The famed Italian defense, organized by captain Fabio Cannavaro, greatly contributed to the team's win.

France, despite a slow start in the group stage, reached the final galvanized in part by the performance of its captain Zinedine Zidane who, playing in his final matches prior to his announced retirement, was honored with the Golden Ball award for best player. The Silver and Bronze Ball awards went to Italy teammates Cannavaro and Andrea Pirlo, respectively. Germany striker Miroslav Klose won the Golden Shoe award as the tournament's top goalscorer.

The final match started with each side scoring within the first 20 minutes. Both teams had chances for a winning goal: Luca Toni hit the crossbar for Italy; an Italian goal was disallowed for an offside; France was not granted a second penalty in the 53rd minute when Florent Malouda went down in the box; and Italian keeper Gianluigi Buffon made a stunning save in extra time on a Zidane header.

The most discussed moment of the match was Zidane's angry reaction to comments made by Italian defender Marco Materazzi. Near the end of extra time, Zidane headbutted Materazzi in the chest in an off-the-ball incident. Referee Horacio Elizondo did not see the confrontation, but sent Zidane off based on the intervention of the fourth official Luis Medina Cantalejo. Materazzi's words are unknown, but Zidane alleges they insulted his family. Materazzi denied his words were racist.[1] With an investigation underway, FIFA president Sepp Blatter has indicated that Zidane could be stripped of the Golden Ball award.[2]

Comparison to earlier World Cups

The tournament was notable for the number of yellow and red cards given out. Players received a record-breaking 345 yellow cards and 28 red cards, with the match between Portugal and the Netherlands accounting for 16 and 4 by itself. This also led to a debate about the referees.

Another fact is that the number of goals dropped after the first round and the teams seemed to play more for security than before the knockout stages. The tournament once again proofed the statistical fact that on European ground the European teams dominate and South American teams cannot win - a law only broken by Brazil in 1958.

The host nation

Beside the fact that Germany 2006 did not produce a goal flood or even any new super star one of the winners were the hosts. On the one hand they organised a perfect tournament with fantastic stadiums and transporting systems. On the other hand they were lauded for their hospitality and enthusiasm. The Fan Fests were one big innovation. South Africa already declared that they will follow this concept.

Groups

Seeds

Further information: 2006 FIFA World Cup seeding

The eight seeded teams for the 2006 cup were announced on December 5, 2005. The seeds comprised Pot A in the draw. Pot B contained the unseeded qualifiers from South America, Africa and Oceania; Pot C contained eight of the nine remaining European sides, excluding Serbia and Montenegro. Pot D contained unseeded sides from the CONCACAF region and Asia. A special pot contained Serbia and Montenegro: this was done to ensure that no group contained three European teams. In the special pot, Serbia and Montenegro (white ball) was drawn first, then their group was drawn (black ball) from the three seeded non-European nations, Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico.

It had been predetermined that as hosts, Germany would be placed in Group A, thus being assured of the venues of their group matches in advance of the draw. FIFA had also announced in advance that Brazil (the defending champions) would be allocated to group F.

On December 9, 2005 the draw was held and the group assignments and order of fixtures were determined. After the draw was completed, many football commentators remarked that group C appeared to be the group of death in the World Cup, although in actuality, the group was among the first to be settled; Argentina and the Netherlands both qualified with a game to spare with comfortable wins over Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) and Serbia and Montenegro respectively.[6][7]

Point system

The first stage, or group stage, saw the thirty-two teams divided into eight groups of four teams. Each group was a round-robin of six games, where each team played one match against each of the other teams in the same group. There were three points for a win, one point for a draw and none for a defeat. The teams coming first and second in each group qualified for the second round.

The ranking of each team in each group was determined as follows, in order of priority:

  1. Greatest number of points obtained in all three group matches;
  2. Goal difference in all three group matches;
  3. Greatest number of goals scored in all three group matches.
    1. If any two teams cannot be separated by criteria 1–3;
      1. Team that won the match between the two teams in the tie;
    2. If three teams cannot be separated by criteria 1–3;
      1. Greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the three teams in the tie;
      2. Goal difference resulting from the group matches between the three teams in the tie;
      3. Greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the three teams in the tie;
  4. Drawing of lots by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World Cup.

These tie-breaking criteria were changed from an older version of the rules. As of 20 June 2006, with the group stage in progress, older versions of the rules were still available on FIFA and UEFA websites, causing some confusion among those trying to identify the correct criteria.[8] In the event, only two ties actually occurred (in Groups C and H), both decided on criterion 2: goal difference in all three group matches. In addition, because the teams involved in the ties drew with each other, the older set of tie-breaking criteria would have produced the same tie-breaking results for these two ties.

Group stage results

In the following tables:

  • Pts = total points accumulated
  • Pld = total games played
  • W = total games won
  • D = total games drawn (tied)
  • L = total games lost
  • GF = total goals scored (goals for)
  • GA = total goals conceded (goals against)
  • GD = goal difference (GF−GA)

In the game results, goal scorers are listed below their country name with the time in minutes into the game that it was scored. A + sign indicates that the goal occurred during stoppage time. The teams placed first and second (shaded in green) qualified to the Round of 16.

Knockout stage

Main article: 2006 FIFA World Cup knockout stage

The knockout stage is a single-elimination tournament involving the sixteen teams that qualified from the Group stage of the tournament. There are four rounds of matches, with each round eliminating half of the teams entering that round. The successive rounds are: Round of 16, Quarter-finals, Semi-finals, Final. There is also a play-off to decide third/fourth place. For each game in the knockout stage, a draw is followed by thirty minutes of extra time (two fifteen minute halves); if scores are still level there is a penalty shootout (at least five penalties each, and more if necessary) to determine who progresses to the next round. Scores after extra time are indicated by (AET), and penalty shoot outs are indicated by (PSO).

Goal scorers

Miroslav Klose received the adidas Golden Shoe Award for scoring 5 goals in the World Cup. This was the lowest number of goals scored by a tournament's top goalscorer since six players tied on four goals each in 1962. In total, 147 goals were scored (4 of which were own goals). An additional 21 goals were scored in penalty shootouts, but these are not counted.


Man of the Match awards

FIFA's Technical Study Group (TSG) granted a Man of the Match award to one player in each match.

Andrea Pirlo won three Man of the Match awards during the tournament, including that awarded for the Final.

  3. ^ During the World Cup, many of the stadiums will be officially known by different names, as FIFA prohibits sponsorship of stadiums unless the stadium sponsors are also official FIFA sponsors. For example, Allianz Arena will be known during the competition as "FIFA World Cup Stadium, Munich" (or in German: "FIFA WM-Stadion München"). On the Allianz Arena in Munich even the letters of the company Allianz have to be removed or covered. These new names are reflected in the table. Some of the stadiums also have a lower capacity for the World Cup, as FIFA regulations ban standing room. Of the twelve hosting stadiums, only Zentralstadion in Leipzig is on the area of the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany).
