Logo após o encerramento da Copa do Mundo de futebol, internautas de várias partes do mundo apresentaram seus comentários em um forum no site da BBC.
Well done, Germany! They did so well. It was unlucky to be defeated in the final. Although Kahn is not on the winning side, he is my best player in the tournament.
And I have to mention that all the Germans did give me big surprises when nobody, including myself, believed they could reach the final one month ago.
Anyway, the Germans have showed they are the best European team in 2002. I look forward to the World Cup 2006 and I believe that they will be stronger and stronger.
Victor, Australia
Oliver Kahn did quite well; the first goal was not all his fault. Hamman dwelled on the ball too long and paid for it. Kahn kept Germany in the game many times. If it was not for him, Germany would have lost by many more.
Timmy Deavin, England
Damn Oliver Kahn! I thought he was a descent golie but he disappointed me in both goals he conceded and I’ve lost faith in him. But as a team I’m proud of how Germany played.
Tibor, Australia
The 2-0 result today does not show how well Germany played today. Oliver Kahn should not be blamed for the first goal; the ball had been well driven by Rivaldo. It was a difficult ball for even a great keeper like Kahn to stop without a rebound.
Mike, USA
It was Germany’s best performance of the World Cup – but this time the luck ran out. No one can deny that the best team won the tournament. Les, Germany Olli Kahn deserves the title of best player on the World Cup. Although he made a mistake he was the man that brought Germany thus far in the tournament, much as Ronaldo did with his men.

TV addiction
The amount of time people spend watching television is asthonishing. On average, individuals in the industrialized world devote three hours a day to the pursuit – fully half of their leisure time, and more than on any single activity save work and sleep. At this rate, someone who lives to 75 would spend nine years in front of the tube. To some commentators, this devotion means simply that people enjoy TV and make a conscious decision to watch it. But if that is the whole story, why do so many people experience misgivings about how much they view?

Suspected Thief Drowns
Sun Aug 18, 7:35 AM ET
TULSA, Oklahoma (Reuters) – A suspected thief, weighed down with more than 50 pounds of stolen cameras and CDs, among other items, drowned as he attempted to evade police by swimming across the Arkansas River, officials said.
The man, identified as Edward McBride, 37, was carrying a bag weighing 50 pounds that contained stolen items and was found Friday with stolen goods also stuffed in his pockets, said Tulsa police spokeman Lucky Lamons.
He was being pursued by Tulsa police who suspected him of robbing a Tulsa home when he jumped into the muddy Arkansas River.
“He got about 40 yards out and gritou for help,” Lamons said. “The officers took off their shirts, shoes and belts and jumped into the river. By the time they reached him, he had gone under.”
Lamons said rescue workers retrieved McBride’s body about an hour later from about 8 feet to 10 feet of water along with the bag containing stolen goods.

Flood-stricken Czechs plan mass-vaccination
The Czech government will vaccinate about 65,000 children against hepatitis A, following the worst flooding in the country in 200 years.
Flood waters are now starting to subside in the capital, Prague, but the mayor is urging the city’s 50,000 evacuees to stay away until power and sewage services are fully restored. About another 150,000 people in the country have also been forced from their homes.
Hepatitis A can spread if sewage systems are damaged and infected feces enter drinking water. Mass hepatitis A vaccination is thought to have prevented an outbreak after heavy floods in central Europe in 2001.
The Czech Republic’s health minister has also asked the government to provide 3.5 million euros for other public health measures, including the testing of drinking water and the distribution of water disinfectants. Other potential killers in disaster-stricken regions include dysentery and cholera.
Millions homeless
But while the flood danger in Prague is decreasing, waters are surging through south-eastern Germany, threatening catastrophe. In Dresden, waters are rising at around 20 centimetres per hour.
There is also a state of emergency in Bratislava, capital of the Slovak Republic, where the level of the Danube is at its highest for a century. Romania and Russia are badly affected. And in Austria, where seven people have died due to flooding, chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel told the BBC: “This is the worst natural disaster to have hit Austria in living memory.”
Fears that much of Prague’s 14th century architectural treasures could be devastated are easing with the falling level of the River Vltava.
But floods outside Europe have been much more severe. About 800 people died and millions were left homeless following summer floods in India, Bangladesh and Nepal. And hundreds more have been killed in China, where thousands of people are killed each year due to flooding.
