Brazil's captain Cafu lifts the World Cup trophy after his team won the World Cup final against Germany. Brazil won a record fifth World Cup against Germany in 2002, with captain Cafu celebrating after striker Ronaldo scored both goals in a 2-0 victory, elevating him to hero status in his home country. But Brazil was knocked out in the quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup, despite being the clear favourite, with Ronaldo coming under fire for appearing to be overweight. His career went into freefall, plagued by fitness and form problems, and he has not played for Brazil since. The striker joined Corinthians, Brazil's second most popular club, earlier this year in a bid ot re-ignite his career. Taken on June 30, 2002 by Dylan Martinez.
