The tournament was won byItaly, their fourth world championship, defeatingFrance53 in apenalty
shootoutafterextra time finished in a 11 draw. Germany defeated Portugal 31 to finish third.
The 2006 World Cup stands as one of the most watched event in television history garnering an estimated26.29 billion non-unique viewers, compiled over the course of the tournament. The final attracted an
estimated audience of 715.1 million people.[1] The 2006 World Cup ranks fourth in non-unique viewers,
behind the1994, the2002, and the 1990 FIFA World Cups.[2]
Host selection
The vote to choose the hosts of the 2006 tournament was held on7 July2000 in Zrich,Switzerland, and
involved four bidding nations afterBrazilhad withdrawn three days earlier. The four remaining nations
were Germany,South Africa,England andMorocco. Three rounds of voting were required, each round
eliminating the nation with the least votes. Morocco was the first nation to be eliminated with only two of
the 23 votes cast. The next nation to be eliminated was England, with two votes. Finally, Germany won thefinal round of voting 12-11 over South Africa, but the success of Germany's bid was marred by a hoax
bribery affair which even led to calls for a re-vote.[3]On the night before the vote, German satirical
magazine Titanic sent letters to FIFA representatives, offering gifts in exchange for their vote for Germany.
Oceania delegate Charles Dempsey, who had been instructed to support South Africa, abstained citing
"intolerable pressure" on the eve of the vote.[4]
Had Dempsey voted as originally instructed, the vote wouldhave resulted with a 12-12 tie, and FIFA president Sepp Blatter, who favoured the South African bid,[5]
would have had to cast the deciding vote.
