Template:Infobox Football World Cup

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 to be played on 9 July, 2006. The World Cup Final played in Berlin will determine the World Cup champion.

Squads

Further information: 2006 FIFA World Cup (squads)

National associations had until 15 May 2006 to confirm their team of twenty-three players. Of these twenty-three, three players had to be goalkeepers. In the event of injury or other incapacitation, a player was allowed to be replaced up until twenty-four hours before the team's first game.[4]

Groups

Seeds

The seeded teams for the 2006 cup were announced on December 5, 2005. The top eight seeds composed 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 groups C and E appeared to be the groups of death in the cup.[5][6]

Point system

The first stage, or group stage, saw the 32 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.[7] 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 16 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 3rd/4th place. For each game in the knockout stage, a draw is followed by 30 minutes of extra time (two 15 minute halves); if scores are still level there is a penalty shootout to determine the winner. Scores after extra time are indicated by (AET), and penalty shoot outs are indicated by (PEN).

Individual scorers

The top scorer at the conclusion of the tournament will receive the Adidas Golden Shoe Award.[8] Brazil's Ronaldo won the award at the 2002 World Cup, with eight goals, and is the only former winner still active. In the second-round match between Brazil and Ghana, Ronaldo took his total tally of World Cup goals, from the three tournaments in which he has participated, to 15, breaking a record previously held by Gerd Müller of Germany. Just Fontaine holds the all-time single-tournament scoring record with 13 goals in the 1958 FIFA World Cup while playing for France.


The players in bold typeface are still active in the tournament.

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.
