World Cup semifinals \\
show shift in soccer powei
YOKOHAMA, Japan (AP)
— European teams have only
twice failed to be in the top two
in the World Cup’s 72-year his
tory — in 1930 and 1950.
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.

Tim Knight admits
exchange mistake
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — A son
of Texas Tech coach Bob Knight
says he made a mistake assum
ing that the rules that apply to
merchandise exchanges
between stores in the private
sector are acceptable at a store
operated by a university.
Athletic director Gerald
Myers announced last week
that Tim Knight inadvertently
violated Tech policies but
broke no laws in the
exchange of merchandise
between "The General's
Store" in Indianapolis, which
