THIS week crowds have gathered at pubs and clubs across the country to watch England battle it out in the World Cup.

Here, customers at The Old Bank in Bradford enjoy breakfast while watching the World Cup in 2002.

The 2002 event was held at sites in South Korea and Japan, with its final match hosted by Japan at International Stadium in Yokohama.

The tournament had several upsets and surprise results, which included the defending champions France being eliminated in the group stage after earning a single point without scoring a goal and second favourites Argentina also being eliminated in the group stage.

South Korea managed to reach the semi-finals, beating Portugal, Italy and Spain on the way. Brazil won the final against Germany 2-0, making them the first and only country to have won the World Cup five times.
