	History of FIFA World Cup - Tapesh.Com Forum
		Two years before the inaugural FIFA World Cup in 1930, the newly drafted regulations stipulated that the winners should be rewarded with a new trophy, with French sculptor Abel Lafleur being assigned this prestigious task.
		The three-time champions had not won the world championship for two dozen years, and to some degree the Auriverde eagerly agreed to swap the joy and exuberance of their forebears for sound tactics and a clinical determination at the 1994 FIFA World Cup USA.
		Despite failing to reach the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan after a tense 2-1 aggregate defeat to the Republic of Ireland in the play-off, Iran are still one of Asia's top teams and a side to be reckoned with in the qualifying run to Germany 2006.

		Philadelphia's procurement of Women's World Cup games will mark the first-ever appearance of the U.S. Women's National Team in the City of Brotherly Love, and is the first visit by any U.S. National Team to the city since a match between the U.S. Men's National Team and Israel on Sept. 25, 1968.
		Even with temporary seating, it will barely meet FIFA's minimum requirement of 30,000 seats for the tournament, and will not come near to accommodating the crowds that have traditionally turned out for top-level matches involving, as this World Cup Final doubleheader is expected to, the U.S. Women's Team.

		Romania had impressive showings in both the 98 and 94 world cups, winning their group both times, so they get 3.5 for their 98 appearance and 6.5 for the 94 appearance so that’s 10 points.
		There are plenty of effective players in the world cup who are 23 or younger right now, and the way I see it, the Olympic tournament is probably second to the world cup in terms of soccer teams putting themselves on the map to people who aren’t soccer fans.
		The African Cup is incredibly low, 0.5 points isn’t much at all, I originally gave it one point but then reduced it to one-half because i put into consideration that it’s played every 2 years.
