I remember when Mexico was playing Italy and for one half, Mexico was winning 1-0. I was proud of them. Although it ended as a tie, at least Mexico didn't lose.

I remember when USA beat Mexico. That was crrazy coz everyone was so sure Mexico was going to win! The South Korea vs Italy game. Also, South Korea vs Spain. I was so sad when Joaquin's shot was saved.....oh well
And the final when Ronaldo scored those 2 goals. Wow, now that I think about it, it was a good WC.
Added: Lol. I hate to break it to you but USA won by 2. Coz I was surprised that Donovan actually scored hahaha.
Oh yeah, after reading Maradona JR.s answer I remember Rivaldo wasting time on the pitch. That was hilarious but I was so surprised Rivaldo would fake an injury like that!!

Co-hosts South Korea defied all expectations and reached the semi-finals, finishing fourth.
Upsets all around, with Turkey getting third and Senegal and USA reaching the quarter-finals.
Giants France, Argentina, Portugal all crashed out in the first round. Italy and Spain were eliminated by the South Koreans later on.
Personally I remembered:
- The opening match, where Senegal upset France 1-0.
- Rivaldo getting that Turk sent off in thier group match by play-acting.
- Denmark finally sending France home
- Becks finally laying his Argie ghost to rest by scoring that penalty.
- Ireland grabbed a late equaliser against Germany thanks to Robbie Keane. That was the only goal Germany conceded until the final.
- Germany beating Saudi Arabia 8-0
- USA beat Portugal 3-2 in a magnificent game
- South Korea beat Poland and Portugal in their group, sending the crowds wild.
- Portugal scoring 4 past a hopeless Poland, but still got eliminated.
- Spain beat Ireland on penalties in the second round, then were eliminated on penalties themselves by the Koreans.
- That Brazil-England match. Owen scored first after a Lucio's mistake, then Rivaldo scored just before half-time during a counter-attack. Then of course, that Ronaldinho goal. Ronaldinho got sent off shortly afterwards. That was the match I remembered most.
- Germany 1-0ed their way to the final.
- Turkey beat South Korea 3-2 in the third place playoff, with Hakan Sukur scoring the fastest World Cup goal ever. (11 seconds)
- Ronaldo grabbed two goals as Brazil won their fifth World Cup. My word, didn't they look happy.
Great memories...

That WC was riddled with controversial decisions, concerning offsides and disallowance of golden goals, and quite so incidentally in most of the games South Korea played in.. hummmm...
I also remembered feeling very depressed after PORTUGAL was knocked out of the competition, teh same day I was having an allround crappy day because I was writing my A' Level exams that time.
LOL.. I rememberthat game you are talking about.. wasn't that the game where the both sides kept passing the ball because they were content with a tie.. it was really funny! Italy kept on their side of the feild passing the ball among themselves, and Mexico kept on their side of the field.. it was funny, yet painful.. everyone was begging the ref to blow the whistle.. lol.. really funny!
p.s: nice question!

Yea, France being eliminated, pouf, in the first round. The U.S. playing Germany, the Germans were so tall in height compare to Americans. Oh, and I remember being up all hours of the night like, 1:55AM, 3:55AM, I didn't know if I should stay up for the games or sleep a little and then wake up and be groggy for a while.

Great performance by Senegal, Ronaldinho's free-kick against England, Rivaldo faking injury when Turkish player shoot a ball in him while Rivaldo was waiting for a corner kick and when Croatia won against Italy 2 - 1!!!!!!

I remember that Germany lost in the Final against Brazil, and i'm so upset for about a week. it's also the first time i saw Michael Ballack and Miroslav Klose.
But eventhough they lost, Oliver Kahn won the best player award. the first ever to be given for a goalie. and he beat all those brazillian players
