		Because of World War II, the World Cup had not been held since 1938; In the aftermath of the conflict, Europe lay in ruins after the ravaging effects of the war.
		For some time, the World Cup of 1950 was at risk of not being held for sheer lack of interest from the international community, until Brazil presented a bid.
		Italy was of particular interest: the Italians were the long-standing defending champions (winners in 1938, the last World Cup prior to 1950), but the country was in ruins at the end of World War II, and at first there was little to no interest from the country in participating.

		In 1978, the national team made it through to the World Cup finals in Argentina, where their best result was to hold Scotland to a 1-1 draw.
		But, in the 1990s, football went on the rampage, as Iran first lifted the Asia cup in 1990, and then booked its place in the World Cup finals of 1998.
		Football has definitely become a vehicle for thinly-disguised social and even political protest against their rule.

		The last goal in the 1998 World Cup was scored by Emmanuel Petit, a blond, muscular, ponytailed, and irritatingly good-looking midfielder for the host nation, France.
		Football in England has changed over the past ten years: almost all the best players in our domestic league—and, indeed, many of the worst—come from overseas, and children who enjoy the sport are not suddenly going to switch allegiance from their favorite players just because they play for a different country during the World Cup.
		The last goal in the 2002 World Cup was scored by Ronaldo—his second, in an absorbing if hardly epic 2-0 win—whose lifeless performance in the 1998 final was the subject of an extensive parliamentary inquiry in Brazil.

		Other "minor" footballing nations such as Iran and Tunisia had their first outings and France was back in the world's top football competition after twelve years in the wilderness.
		On top of a FIFA World Cup winners' medal, Kempes also came away from the tournament with the coveted title of top goal-scorer, hitting the net six times.

		Thousands of flashbulbs went off as the first World Cup in Asia ended in a much more satisfying way for Brazil and Ronaldo than in '98, when he was ill before the game and played poorly in a 3-0 loss to host France.
