Which team was the first to be eliminated from the 2002 World Cup?
467837
First Round\n\nGroup A \n31.5.2002  France Senegal 0 - 1 \n1.6.2002  Uruguay Denmark 1 - 2 \n6.6.2002  France Uruguay 0 - 0 \n Denmark Senegal 1 - 1 \n11.6.2002  Senegal Uruguay 3 - 3 \n Denmark France 2 - 0 \n Team G W T L GD P \nDenmark  3 2 1 0 5-2 7 \nSenegal  3 1 2 0 5-4 5 \nUruguay  3 0 2 1 4-5 2 \nFrance  3 0 1 2 0-3 1 \n \n\nIn the first match of World Cup 2002, returning champion France lost to outsider Senegal by 1-0. The success of the African squad caused both chaos and jubilation around the world. The Senegalese government issued a national holiday in respect to the victory. Senegal managed to earn two draws in their following group matches and qualified for the next round. Denmark showed a very ambitious attitude as they beat Uruguay, tied with Senegal and embarrassed France 2-0. The French struggled in all of their matches, dealing with the injury of their star midfielder Zidane. Unlike World Cup 1998, France were hurt by disputable and essentially crucial red cards.\n\nGroup B \n2.6.2002  Spain Slovenia 3 - 1 \n Paraguay South Africa 2 - 2 \n7.6.2002  Spain Paraguay 3 - 1 \n8.6.2002  South Africa Slovenia 1 - 0 \n12.6.2002  Slovenia Paraguay 1 - 3 \n South Africa Spain 2 - 3 \n Team G W T L GD P \nSpain  3 3 0 0 9-4 9 \nParaguay  3 1 1 1 6-6 5 \nSouth Africa  3 1 1 1 5-5 2 \nSlovenia  3 0 0 3 2-7 1 \n \n\nSpain got the top results in this group by achieving three consecutive victories. Regardless of their good record, they did just as much as it needed to qualify. Slovenia put them to the test in their first game, with creative attacking combinations. The Spaniards were lucky when Slovenia was given a red card because the game looked even up to that point. In their following two matches, Spain clinched two unimpressive victories. Slovenia, which had a good run at the Euro 2000, finished with three losses that did not reflect their beautiful attacking style.\n\nGroup C \n3.6.2002  Brazil Turkey 2 - 1 \n4.6.2002  China Costa Rica 0 - 2 \n8.6.2002  Brazil China 4 - 0 \n9.6.2002  Costa Rica Turkey 1 - 1 \n13.6.2002  Costa Rica Brazil 2 - 5 \n Turkey China 3 - 0 \n Team G W T L GD P \nBrazil  3 3 0 0 11-3 9 \nTurkey  3 1 1 1 5-3 4 \nCosta Rica  3 1 1 1 5-6 4 \nChina  3 0 0 3 0-9 0 \n \n\nGroup C finished with Brazil and Turkey sharing the top two spots. Brazil had a hard time against Turkey in the first group match. Considering that Brazil barely qualified for this World Cup, most experts agreed that they will probably not make it very far. Few admitted that Turkey is a formidable opponent who did quite well two years earlier at Euro 2000. Costa Rica nearly made the second round after finishing 1-1 against the Turks. China was just glad to be present at the World Cup and settled for three losses and no goals scored. Their presence at World Cup 2002 was entirely attributed to Serbian tactician Bora Milutinovic who earned them a spot at the tournament for the first time in the history.\n\nGroup D \n4.6.2002  South Korea Poland 2 - 0 \n5.6.2002  USA Portugal 3 - 2 \n10.6.2002  South Korea USA 1 - 1 \n Portugal Poland 4 - 0 \n14.6.2002  Portugal South Korea 0 - 1 \n Poland USA 3 - 1 \n Team G W T L GD P \nSouth Korea  3 2 1 0 3-2 7 \nUSA  3 1 1 1 5-6 4 \nPortugal  3 1 0 2 6-4 3 \nPoland  3 1 0 2 3-7 3 \n \n\nThe second considerable surprise at first stage of World Cup 2002 was Portugal's loss to the United States. The US came out with tenacity against the slower and unaware Portugal. Before the Europeans managed to enforce their game, the score was already 3-0 in favor of USA. Portugal tried to come back but time ran out and the match finished at 3-2. South Korea managed to earn two victories against Poland and Portugal thus qualifying for the next stage. Both of these came with physical play and promiscuous refereeing.\n\nGroup E \n1.6.2002  Ireland Cameroon 1 - 1 \n Germany Saudi Arabia 8 - 0 \n5.6.2002  Germany Ireland 1 - 1 \n6.6.2002  Cameroon Saudi Arabia 1 - 0 \n11.6.2002  Cameroon Germany 0 - 2 \n Saudi Arab

The best performance of the USA team at the World Cup was in the very first edition, in Uruguay 1930. They finished in the 3rd place, after two 3-0 victories in Group D, against Belgium and Paraguay and a 1-6 loss in semifinals against Argentina.\nIn the 1994 edition, they made it to the round of 16, losing 0-1 against Brazil and in the 2002 edition they have lost 0-1 against Germany in the quarterfinals.

The first FIFA World Cup was in 1930 in Uruguay. Argentina, Chile, France, Mexico, Yugoslavia, Brazil, Bolivia, Romania, Peru, Uruguay, Belgium, USA, and Paraguay participating in the first World Cup. Uruguay was down 2-1 at the break, but in the second half Uruguay brought out the famous claw. Within minutes, Pedro Cea tied the game, and shortly thereafter "El Mago" Scarone put the Uruguayans ahead 3-2. Then in the 88th minute, with the Argentines looking desperately for the equalizer, "El Manco" Castro dealt the finishing blow, ending the scoring 4-2. Uruguay was the first ever World Champion.

Brazil being knocked out on the second round in 1990. I lived in a complex of seven buildings. After the loss, all fireworks and confetti flew but there was no cheering.
