'''Host:''' [[Japan]] & [[South Korea]]
The Qualification rounds were based on the top 40 teams in the rankings table. Of those teams, the top eight in rankings qualified directly. The remaining thirty-two teams played for the final eight spots in the cup. In the [[#Pre-Qualification|Pre-Qualifications]] the most unexpected result was propably that [[South Africa]] defeated [[România]] after a dramatic fight. World Cup hosts [[Nippon]] and [[Hanguk]] were both out, having lost to [[Scotland]] and [[México]] respectively. México then proceeded to demolish [[Schweiz]] 8-0 in the [[#Qualification|Qualifications]]!


[[#Round II|Round II]] started with a shock as [[Nederland]] gave [[Suomi]] a walkover. This gave Suomi the first place in [[#Group 4|Group 4]]. Nederland managed to recover and finished ahead of [[Italia]] and [[Danmark]] to get the second place. In [[#Round III|Round III]] Suomi and Nederland were again in the same group. This time Suomi solidly defeated Nederland to get the second place in [[#Group 1_2|Group 1]] after [[Sverige]].


[[Image:P1_purple.gif]] '''[[Sweden]]''' ([[Livergarden]])<br>
[[#Final|Final]] saw the beginning of [[Sverige|Sverige's]] reign as they defeated [[England]] 4-1. England played a great second half, but little did that matter as Sverige already had hammered home a 4-0 lead.

World Cup premiere today and several of the favourites, such as Norway and Germany, won comfortably. Most unexpected was probably that South Africa defeated Romania after a dramatic fight. World Cup hosts Japan and South Korea are out, having lost to Scotland and Mexico respectively. 40 teams are now down to 24. Another 8 teams will have to leave next friday when the 2nd qualification round is played.

''The swedish national team rose to extreme expectations as they defeated England 4-1 in the World Cup final.

The Qualification rounds were based on the top 40 teams in the rankings table. Of those teams, the top eight in rankings qualified directly. The remaining thirty-two teams played for the final eight spots in the cup. In the Pre-Qualifications the most unexpected result was propably that South Africa defeated România after a dramatic fight. World Cup hosts Nippon and Hanguk were both out, having lost to Scotland and México respectively. México then proceeded to demolish Schweiz 8-0 in the Qualifications!

Round II started with a shock as Nederland gave Suomi a walkover. This gave Suomi the first place in Group 4. Nederland managed to recover and finished ahead of Italia and Danmark to get the second place. In Round III Suomi and Nederland were again in the same group. This time Suomi solidly defeated Nederland to get the second place in Group 1 after Sverige.

Final saw the beginning of Sverige's reign as they defeated England 4-1. England played a great second half, but little did that matter as Sverige already had hammered home a 4-0 lead.

Hattrick announces
Sweden takes home World Cup 29.04.2002
The swedish national team rose to extreme expectations as they defeated England 4-1 in the World Cup final. England played a great second half, but little did that matter as the Swedes already had hammered home a 4-0 lead. While Sweden rejoices, a lot of credit goes out to the rest of the national teams that have improved A LOT over the last season and will continue to do so! Come next World Cup, the final standings may look a lot different. Let the preparations begin!
