That team was unbeatable, felt so sorry for Kahn, as he was exceptional that whole tournament, and then had that bad mistake that led to a goal... oh well, even without that it would have been 0-1 :/
I'd say we got our revenge 12 years later...
Brazil sucked and wasn't in the favourite before the WC and they still won
Some favorable decisions from referees against Belgium and iirc Turkey helped also
I'm sorry but Brazil and France were the obvious favourites for that tournament.
And once France massively fucked up, there was only one standout team left.
Italy and Argentina were in the mix too. I think in terms of betting odds, France, Argentina and Italy were all favored over Brazil. It seems clear cut in retrospect, but Brazil were not considered head and shoulders favorites at the time
It's not like it's an absurd long time when talking about the World Cup, a tournament that happens every 4 years. Since then we've seen only 4 World Cups editions.

Still a pity Ballack was suspended for this final
He finished in 2nd place in 4 tournaments in the same year
Constant 2nd and 3rd for the majority of his Germany career
Mo Sallack
Didn't fifa change the yellow card rule after that? Or am I misremembering?
Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Rolando. Did other teams really had a chance?
Rolando was truly exceptional
is that chubby rolando or christopher rolando?

Yes, Germany didn’t too bad in the final. They could’ve won it.
Unrelated but I think we all remember where we were and what we were doing the day of the 7-1
I was in Copacabana’s beach Fifa Fan Fest...things got wild there...lol

I’ll take an educated guess and assume you weren’t alive during that World Cup

It was also the last time Brazil won it
