Hosts Germany opened the 2006 FIFA World Cup finals by defeating Group-A rivals Costa Rica in Munich on Friday, 9 June 2006.

Philipp Lahm scored the first goal around six minutes into the tournament with a beautifully-curled effort from the top left corner of the box. But Wanchope then silenced the crowd with an equaliser in the 12th minute by a through ball and the striker fired a low shot past Jens Lehmann to level the scores. Klose then scored their second lead of the match in the 17th minute from close range for Germany.

In 2nd half Klose grabbed his second goal, before Wanchope netted his second of the game. But the goal of the match was still to come when Torsten Frings clinched the win in the 87th with a wicked 30-yard shot.

Ecuador stun Poland !!!

Last man standing?

May 1, 2006 @ 5:01 am · Filed under FIFA World Cup

The final match of world cup 2006 will be played in Olypic Stadium, Berlin on 9th July. This stadium will be hosting 6 matches during 2006 World Cup. It has 76,000 seating capacity.

The Olypic Stadium, Berlin stadium has got immense historical value owing to its significant association with the Nazi Regime. It was once the epitome of sports and culture, that firmly held on to the Nazi pride during the holocaust.

Now the question arise, who will be those 2 countries playing ? Who will be the last man standing holding the World Cup? Will that Brazil, England, France, Spain, Germany or something new ?

Any guess ?
I’ll will write some more interesting facts of world cup, happened before 2006 till then post your guess.
