Template:Infobox Football World Cup The 2006 FIFA World Cup began on 9 June, 2006 and will end on 9 July, 2006. The final match will determine the World Cup champion. The 2006 finals are the eighteenth to be contested. In June 2000, Germany won the right to host the event, beating bids from Brazil, England, Morocco, and South Africa (who will host the 2010 World Cup).

Teams

 
Qualifying countries
For details, see 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification.

Starting with the 2006 Cup, FIFA has changed the qualification rules so that the winner of the previous World Cup has to qualify for the Finals; only the host nation is given an automatic berth. This arrangement is expected to continue into future Cups.

The following teams, shown by region, have qualified for the finals. The number in brackets is the country's seeding for the tournament. This value was decided using two criteria:

  • The side's performances at the two most recent World Cups (1998 and 2002)
  • Their standings in the FIFA World Rankings over the last years (2003-2006)[1]

These seedings were only relevant for the selection of the top eight sides and their allocation of one to each group. Other nations were drawn according to geographical factors. That Serbia & Montenegro were regarded as the fourteenth UEFA qualifier and thus placed in a separate pot in the draw was determined purely on positions in the FIFA rankings in November 2005.

Twelve cities were selected to host the World Cup. The stadium capacities shown are all seated capacities. Many of the stadiums have higher capacities for German domestic football matches as some of the seats are replaced with terraces. Some of the stadium names are changed for the course of the tournament, as FIFA regulations do not allow sponsors of grounds unless the sponsor is a FIFA sponsor. On the Allianz Arena in Munich even the letters of the company Allianz have to be removed or covered.

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.[3]

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 the three non-European seeded teams: 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.[4][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:[3]

a) Greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;
b) Goal difference in all group matches;
c) Greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.
d) Greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
e) Goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;
f) Greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;
g) Drawing of lots by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World Cup.

Criteria e) and f) can only apply where 3 or 4 teams cannot be separated by factors a) - d).

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

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)
Team has qualified for the knockout stage. If place within group is known (1st or 2nd), it is indicated
Team may still qualify in first or second, or finish outside the top 2 and be eliminated.
Team cannot finish in first place in the group, but can still finish second.
Team cannot qualify for the knockout stage.

Knockout stages

Further information: 2006 FIFA World Cup calendar

From the "Group Stage" the Winner (1st) and Runner Up (2nd) positions in each group progress to the "Round of 16". Initially all four teams in each group have an equal chance at both positions, but as the play-offs proceed, cumulative results will knock some teams out of contention, and guarantee other teams a place in the next round. When there are three or fewer teams left with a chance at a given place, they are shown in the "Round of 16" column.

Just Fontaine is the all-time top-scorer at a World Cup with 13 goals in the 1958 FIFA World Cup.
