With Zinedine Zidane struggling for fitness, world champions France made an early exit as they failed to reach the knockout stages.

With Sven-Goran Eriksson as coach, England reached the quarter-finals and until late in the first half were ahead, thanks to a Michael Owen goal.

But Rivaldo equalised for Brazil and the eventual 2002 winners edged past England as Ronaldinho's memorable free-kick looped over England goalkeeper David Seaman.

Ronaldinho's goal has been described as "an absolute fluke" but his extraordinary effort proved the difference.
