On T
UE 15 F
EB 2005, the World won, figuratively as well as literally. RONALDINHO's World XI defeated Andriy SHEVCHENKO's European XI by a 6-3 scoreline at the Camp Nou in Barcelona,
Spain. The match's most important number, of course, was the US$10,000,000 it was expected to pull in for the FIFA/AFC Tsunami Solidarity Fund, going toward efforts to rebuild football infrastructure in
Sri Lanka, the
Maldives, and other nations struck by the tsunamis of S
UN 26 D
EC 2004. In the match, hometown hero Samuel ETO'O of
Cameroon scored twice to put the World up 3-1 by halftime. Gianfranco ZOLA of
Italy and David SUAZO of
Honduras, a special European guest, then scored early in the second half to equalise. But Henri CAMARA of
Senegal was quick to respond, with two goals in just five minutes.
