  • The Greatest Show on Earth Nawshad Shah
    World Cup Football, Germany 2006 The Greatest Show on Earth Nawshad Shah The count down has already started for the biggest sporting event the 18 th World Cup Football finals to be held in Germany. Sporting purists might say the Olympic Games are the bigger and grander. But when host Germany kick-off the opening game against the Costa Rica in Munich on June 9; no sporting tournament will ever have received such global attention. World Cup 2006 will be considered to be the biggest, most expensive, most technological festival in the sporting history. From humble beginnings in 1930, the World Cup Football has become the most watched and lucrative sporting event in the world. At the 2002 tournament in Korea and Japan, FIFA earned $A1.53 billion and they are expected to bring in even more from this year’s finals in Germany. Australia will be making their first finals appearance since 1974. With five-time winners and reigning champions Brazil in their group (Group F), Australia are expected to be in a three- way fight with Croatia and Japan for the second qualifying spot in what promises to be a thrilling clash of very different cultures and footballing styles. World-renowned Dutch coach Guus Hiddink, who led Netherlands and Korea to the semi- finals of the last two World Cups, is now in charge of Australia. They have dozens of players who have proven themselves in Europe’s top leagues. Kewell is their best talent, while captain Mark Viduka, Tim Cahill, Lucas Neill and Mark Schwarzer are proven Premiership players.
