Summer 2DD2 • July Issue Drinking from the World Cup www.fuller.edu/studentJife/5EIVII/semi.html A Perspective by Tim Klingler luring the month of June, a single event captivated virtually the entire globe. From Burma to Burkina Faso, Bolivia to Bosnia, 0 Belgium to Belize, the world fixed its attention on the 2002 World Cup soccer tournament. An estimated three-and-a-half billion people tuned in to watch the tournament. For the final match, one-and-a-half billion people gathered around TV screens in homes, bus stations, bars, restaurants, churches, and parks to watch Brazil defeat Germany 2-0 for its fifth cham pionship title. While most of the US population abstained from partaking of the Cup, a significant percentage of the Fuller community imbibed and participated in the quadrennial euphoria of the global community.
World Cup Presents Challenges for Fuller Fans For Fuller soccer fans, this year’s tournament presented a number of unique challenges. First, the 48 first-round matches were held during the final two weeks of the spring semester. Several students stoically concluded that one quarter of sleeplessness and sub-par academic performance was a small price to pay for the opportunity to watch the world’s most popular sporting event. Shawn Delp (SWM and Student Accounts employee) simply postponed academic studies and traveled to South Korea to support the US team, the “Nats.” Second, the majority of games were broadcast live at 11:30 p.m., 2:30 a.m„ and 4:30 a.m„ Pacific Time. German Tobi Kron (SWM) spent many near sleepless nights watching the M annshaft play. After Germany’s matches, Kron recalls that he had “so much passion” that it was difficult to fall back to sleep. Brazilian Marco Alambert (SWM; Computer Lab employee) was perhaps the most avid World Cup fan at Fuller, watching approximately 40 of the 64 games in their entirety and viewing portions of the remaining ones. Despite the 11:30 p.m. game time, over fifty people gathered in the Catalyst to watch the first-round 1—1 tie between the USA and South Korea. ‘World Cup’ continued on page &
