BBC Match of the day World Cup 2002 Intro 

Absolute brilliance. I have always been interested in how people come up with ideas with introductions for shows and for football and at the time this blew me away. It is still incredible even in 2017.

Excellent. I was doing my final High school exams during this WC. I was 16. Good times.

My favourite World Cup I was 14yo. They gave us a late start to school When England played Brazil

This was brilliant. Amazing music & intro and got me so hyped, especially for early morning games.

Man I remember being in year 8 when this was on. One the best intros

This is my favourite world cup titles

I miss the 2002 fifa World Cup South Korea/Japan

The part with the bullet train & Michael Owen's goal against Argentina 🇦🇷 from 1998 is so epic 👀😎

Even though I was only 6 I actually remember this I’m so old

All games were in the morning. U woke up and footy was immediately on the telly... Ace

Awesome. BBC World Cup intro's are always top class. I remember this tune at 7am in my local pub waiting for the match to start :)

Faithless 😍

Such an underrated World Cup. South Korea beating Italy and getting to the semis along with Turkey, USA getting to the quarters, the English press losing their shit over England getting eliminated (again), Keane telling McCarthy to basically go f*** himself, Ireland vs Spain going to penalties, and Oliver Kahn getting ze Germans to the final then blowing it in the final. Honestly this was a great tournament.

Great

my favourite world cup so far..

I remember there was a competition on cbbc to be able to included in the video, if you look at 0:51 bottom left corner there’s a little kid who won heading the ball

Pity this theme was never extended a little and made available commercially. It's a brilliant piece, epic, sweeping, memorable and a pleasure to listen to.

jeez this intro is dud, and I liked this world cup, the intro for australian tv was good.

I love this 2002 BBC intro, also the 2018 World Cup intro on the BBC too.

Amazing

world cup in that part of the world means early mornings in England

that part with the bullet train

Listening to this during wc 2018 #england

In 2018 I watched a J League Game at the Nissan Stadium, the stadium that hosted the 2002 final, I had this theme in my head during the pre game training, wonderful titles. Going to school to watch the England Brazil game. Bad result but great memories. Would love to see a World Cup in South Korea, or Japan again in the near future.

I agree. I loved the 2002 world cup though, it was bright and controversial to a degree. 2006 was controversial but I didn't enjoy it. I think the comp went dud when the ref Collina retired. Reffing eversince has been bleh.

Back when the BBC was worth the license fee.

Yeah it is and there are some other parts from the same tournament in this video. I think they used them after the group stages finished so that is most probably why they are used.

best world cup ever!

역시 BBC

BRILL BRILL BRILL........10/10

@anil2 SERIOUSLY! You must be very young, if you never saw the Dutch genius of 74, the Brazilians of 82, Danes French and Maradona in 86. Even 98 was better with Bergkamp and Ronaldo. 2002 was awful! Good tune though.

Cool intro

faithless for next england world cup song

Actually i like this video better than fifa's official one visually as this one showed cultures and features of those two east asian nations.

@SeventiesMania Did you see Ronaldo in the 2002 final? Dutch can pass all want, still never won the world cup. And i wasnt around in them days :P

Hairs on the back of your neck standing then and still the same now.

What song is that?

is this song by faithless but with bit of far east in it

Could use that for olympics

this song by faithless is it

@SeventiesMania UEFA dont want chelsea to win the european cup :(

@anil2 Holland were cheated out of the 78 World Cup by the Argentine junta, and in 98, Junior Baiano's foul on van Hooijdonk in the semi was a stonewall penalty. And Holland would've won this one too if Portugal hadnt got a dodgy pen in the qualifiers. FIFA don't want Holland to win :-(

@anil2 Yeah, that's probably right as well - the decisions in that semi v Barcelona were a joke and im no Chelsea fan

I could be a devil to you. I could bite like a tarantula, right through the skin, and leave my poison in.

0:41

These were good titles, Euro 2008 was rubbish for the BBC!

it faithless tranturla

2006 way better

2002 was the worst EVER! 2006 may not have been the absolute best but it was way better
