Take yourself back to 2002. Britney Spears, MTV and no social media. And, of course, the World Cup.
England fancied their chances going to the tournament in South Korea and Japan, taking a phenomenal team brimming with talent.

David Beckham, Michael Owen and Paul Scholes were some of the glitzy names on the plane but they weren't the only superstars on the way.
Zinedine Zidane of France, Italy's Alessandro Del Piero and Germany striker Miroslav Klose to name a few were set to light up the tournament.
And, of course, that incredible Brazil side dominated by legendary names - led by the original proprietor of Joga Bonito, Ronaldinho.
The Selecao would go on to win the World Cup that year as Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Roberto Carlos proved too strong for the rest of the world.

But arguably the most iconic moment of the competition came in the quarter-finals when Brazil met England and Ronaldinho met David Seaman.
England fans will no doubt cast their minds back to this original encounter when the Three Lions face Brazil this weekend, live on talkSPORT.

But in many ways, it's actually the hosts who have the more skillful and creative players these days, with the five-time world champions lacking a bit of flair without Neymar.
Even Neymar wasn't as audacious as Ronaldinho, who still haunts England fans to this day after one moment of pure genius crushed a nation.
Owen had put the Three Lions a goal up but Rivaldo equalised before the break and moments into the second-half, Ronaldinho stood over a free-kick from an impossible distance.
Those present at the Shizuoka Stadium on that summer's day would see an iconic moment in football, as the Samba star saw Seaman off his line and planted one right in the top corner.
It became a moment so immortal that no one ever could ever replicate it - not even Ronaldinho himself.

In 2015, 13 years after that incredible goal, Beckham had arranged a charity match with UNICEF that saw some of the biggest names meet again.
That included Ronaldinho, in a Rest of the World XI, and Seaman, in between the sticks for the Great Britain and Ireland XI.
So when the RoW XI had a free-kick on the edge of the area - there was always only one man who was going to step up to take it.

With that customary cheesy grin, Ronaldinho gave Seaman the eyes, reminding him of their encounter 13 years before without uttering a word.
And the England goalkeeper goaded him on, telling him that he could never repeat his antics with big smile of his own.
Ronaldinho went for it... no dice. The ball flew over the crossbar harmlessly and Seaman could breathe a huge sigh of relief.
To his credit, the former Arsenal star shared a laugh with the Barcelona legend in a show of sportsmanship and revelling in the charity match atmosphere.
But always the entertainer, Ronaldinho was not done yet and as his twinkling toes came again down the left-hand flank later in the contest, a quick glance saw Seaman off his line again.

You don't need to give someone like Ronaldinho a second opportunity and he later went to chip his foe-turned-friend but the result was the same - over the crossbar.
Seaman playfully stood with his hands on his hips and glared at the Brazilian, who like a cheeky toddler returned a giggle in what turned out to be the last kick of the game.
