It could happen again on June 30 in Yokohama, Japan — a sig nal that soccer’s center of gravi ty might be shifting away from the old continent and toward Asia, Africa — and even North America. With the quarterfinals com pleted on Saturday, the World Cup semifinals look like this: South Korea vs. Germany on Tuesday in the South Korean capital, Seoul; and Brazil vs. Turkey on Wednesday in Saitama, Japan. A Brazil vs. Germany final is not out of the question. But nei ther are the other three possibil ities: Brazil vs. South Korea, Turkey vs. Germany, or even Turkey vs. South Korea. For the first time since 1978, there are only two European teams in the final four — three time champion Germany and Turkey, hardly one of the usual European powers. Turkey is appearing in only its second World Cup, its first since 1954. The other two semifinalists again represent the old and new. Four-time champion Brazil is the tournament favorite, a role it assumed when defending cham pion France was knocked out in the first round without scoring a goal. South Korea — the first Asian team ever to reach the semifinals — is the sentimental favorite. By reaching the semifi nals, South Korea went one bet ter than its northern neighbor, which made it to the quarterfi nals in 1966. In Saturday’s two quarterfi nals, South Korea defeated Spain 5-3 on penalties after a 0- 0 draw, and Turkey beat Senegal 1-0 in overtime. Tuesday’s Germany vs. South Korea semifinal is a repeat of a group game in 1994 in the United States, which Germany won 3-2. The two starting goalkeepers — Oliver Kahn and Lee Woon-jae — were on the bench in the match. Lee came in as a substitute when Germany ran off to a 3-0 lead after only 20 minutes. German coach Rudi Voeller was still playing for Germany in that match and came on as a sec ond-half substitute. Brazil and Turkey have only played twice — in an exhibition in 1951, which Brazil won 1-0, and again in the first round of this World Cup. when the Brazilians won 2-1 on a goal from a controversial penalty kick with three minutes left. Earlier this year, Turkey tuned up against two South American teams in exhibitions, beating Chile 2-0 and losing 1-0 to World Cup qualifier Ecuador. Strangely enough, Brazil and Germany have never met in the World Cup. The shift in power away from Europe has been gradual but seems to be gaining speed.
