USATODAY.com - Poland reduced to playing for pride   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10) It is understandable that Engel is dependent on his superstitions because most of what he has tried since becoming Poland's coach at the beginning of 2000 seemed to be working, at least until Poland arrived at its first World Cup in 16 years. It wasn't totally beyond reason that the USA would go into this final game in the Group D race with four points and a strong chance to advance to the Round of 16. Given that the 2002 Polish national team does not want to return home wearing the label as the country's all-time worst in the World Cup, coach Bruce Arena and his U.S. team are ignoring what has befallen their next opponent and are focusing on how little Poland has to lose. www.usatoday.com /sports/soccer/cup2002/2002-06-13-poland-pride.htm   (540 words)

Spain will provide formidable opposition in Saturday's quarter-final, but what began to emerge during their defeat of Portugal last Friday and suddenly became apparent here yesterday is that one of the most erratic and upside-down World Cups ever could, quite feasibly, have its most unexpected winners yet. Korea may be languishing in 40th position in Fifa's world listings (114 ranking points behind sixth-placed Italy) but, just as the Irish had done in Suwon on Sunday, they will face Jose Antonio Camacho's team with heady anticipation. football.guardian.co.uk /worldcup2002/countries/story/0,11936,739907,00.html   (587 words)
