The 2006 FIFA World Cup is a high profile international football championship, the finals tournament of which is being held in Germany. The championship began in December 2003 with the draw for a series of qualification tournaments and play-offs that resulted in 31 national teams qualifying for the finals tournament. Germany, as the host country, brought the total number of teams to 32. The finals tournament of the 2006 World Cup began on 9 June, 2006 and will end on 9 July, 2006. The first stage was the Group stage, where the 32 teams were divided into 8 groups of 4 teams. The teams in these groups of four competed in three-round round-robin tournaments to find two teams from each group (a total of 16) to advance to the knock-out stage. The Group stage was completed on 23 June, 2006. The knockout stage starts on 24 June, 2006, and progressive elimination of teams through quarter-finals and semi-finals, will finish with the World Cup Final, the final match on 9 July, 2006. The World Cup Final will determine the World Cup champion and will be played in Berlin.

The 2006 finals are the eighteenth to be contested. The host country and football federation is Germany, who in June 2000, won the right to host the event, beating bids from South Africa (who will host the 2010 World Cup), Brazil, England and Morocco.

Squads

Further information: 2006 FIFA World Cup squads

National associations had until 15 May 2006 to confirm their team of twenty-three players. Of these twenty-three, three players had to be goalkeepers. In the event of injury or other incapacitation, a player was allowed to be replaced up until twenty-four hours before the team's first game.[4]

Groups

Seeds

The seeded teams for the 2006 cup were announced on December 5, 2005. The top eight seeds composed Pot A in the draw. Pot B contained the unseeded qualifiers from South America, Africa and Oceania; Pot C contained eight of the nine remaining European sides, excluding Serbia and Montenegro. Pot D contained unseeded sides from the CONCACAF region and Asia. A special pot contained Serbia and Montenegro: this was done to ensure that no group contained three European teams. In the special pot, Serbia and Montenegro (white ball) was drawn first, then their group was drawn (black ball) from the three seeded non-European nations, Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico.

It had been predetermined that as hosts, Germany would be placed in Group A, thus being assured of the venues of their group matches in advance of the draw. FIFA had also announced in advance that Brazil (the defending champions) would be allocated to group F.

On December 9, 2005 the draw was held and the group assignments and order of fixtures were determined. After the draw was completed, many football commentators remarked that groups C and E appeared to be the groups of death in the cup.[5][6]

Point system

The first stage is run as a league system, each team playing one match against each of the other teams in the same group, with three points for a win, one point for a draw and none for a defeat.

The ranking of each team in each group will be determined as follows, in order of priority:

  1. Greatest number of points obtained in all three group matches;
  2. Goal difference in all three group matches;
  3. Greatest number of goals scored in all three group matches.
    1. If any two teams cannot be separated by criteria 1-3;
      1. Team that won the match between the two teams in the tie;
    2. If three teams cannot be separated by criteria 1-3;
      1. Greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the three teams in the tie;
      2. Goal difference resulting from the group matches between the three teams in the tie;
      3. Greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the three teams in the tie;
  4. Drawing of lots by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World Cup.

The teams coming first and second in each group qualify for the second round.

These tie-breaking criteria are correct, but were changed from an older version of the rules. As of 20 June 2006, with the tournament in progress, older versions of the rules were still available on FIFA and UEFA websites, causing some confusion among those trying to identify the correct criteria.[7] In the event, only two ties actually occured (in Groups C and H), both decided on criteria 2: goal difference in all three group matches. In addition, because the teams involved in the ties drew with each other, the older set of tie-breaking criteria would have produced the same tie-breaking results for these two ties.

Group stage results

In the following tables:

  • Pts = total points accumulated
  • Pld = total games played
  • W = total games won
  • D = total games drawn (tied)
  • L = total games lost
  • GF = total goals scored (goals for)
  • GA = total goals conceded (goals against)
  • GD = goal difference (GF−GA)

In the game results, goal scorers are listed below their country name with the time in minutes into the game that it was scored. A + sign indicates that the goal occurred during injury time. The teams placed first and second (shaded in green) qualify to the Round of 16.

Individual scorers

The top scorer at the conclusion of the tournament will receive the Adidas Golden Shoe Award.[8] Brazil's Ronaldo won the award at the 2002 World Cup, with eight goals, and is the only former winner still active. Ronaldo also currently holds the record of total goals in World Cup Finals with 14 goals, a feat shared with Gerd Müller of Germany. Whilst Brazil are still in the tournament, there is every chance he could make this record his own. Just Fontaine holds the all-time single-tournament scoring record with 13 goals in the 1958 FIFA World Cup while playing for France.

For example, Allianz Arena will be known during the competition as "FIFA World Cup Stadium, Munich" (or in German: "FIFA WM-Stadion München"). On the Allianz Arena in Munich even the letters of the company Allianz have to be removed or covered.These new names are reflected in the table. Some of the stadia also have a lower capacity for the World Cup, as FIFA regulations ban standing room.
