	King Of Kings: Football World Cup
		Deep-seated football rivalry led many Brazilians to celebrate Argentina's elimination, and vice versa, but there were also plenty of fans who were hoping for a final World Cup match between the two giants, which would have consolidated South America's hegemony for a long time to come.
		Football, despite the globalisation of the sport, continues to be dominated by a growing number of European countries and by South America's Southern Cone, specifically Argentina and Brazil, since the decline of Uruguay in the last few decades.
		The month-long event to determine the best football, er, soccer team on the planet began when July started and ended, well, it has ended, right?Yeah, I know, Italy won the World Cup, outlasting France in penalty kicks in the championship game.');}-->The suspense at the end during the penalty-kick portion of the game was incredible.

	FIFA WORLD CUP FOOTBALL COMPETITION \| CAR AND MOTORCYCLE INSURANCE HASTINGS DIRECT
		The FIFA World Cup (often called the Football World Cup, Soccer World Cup or simply the World Cup) is the most important competition in international football, and the world's most representative team sport event.
		As football began to increase in popularity, it was held as a demonstration sport (with no medals awarded) at the 1900, 1904 and 1906 Summer Olympics before football became an official competition at the 1908 Summer Olympics.
		The decision to hold the second of these, the 1938 FIFA World Cup in France was controversial, as the American countries had been led to understand that the World Cup would rotate between the two continents.

		Game number one of the 635 qualifying matches to be played for football's 1998 World Cup is Dominica versus Antigua, and while it would come as no great surprise if it has bypassed the rest of the universe, it is, of course, driving the islanders here into a frenzy of anticipation.
		It is all a far cry from the last match to be played in the World Cup, the 1994 final in Pasadena, when the combined players' salaries would have swamped Dominica's GNP, and the attendance was substantially higher than Dominica's official population of 71,000.
		And if the Dominican footballers are as creative as the artist who designs some of the hotel's brochures here (which bear as much resemblance to the real thing as Batley Town Hall does to the Taj Mahal) then they are definitely in with a shout.
