(Earlier in the tournament Rivaldo provided the tournament's most distasteful piece of gamesmanship when he feigned a face injury from a ball struck by Turkey's Hakan Unsal that had hit him on the leg. The Turk was sent off for a second yellow card offense?an incident that earned Rivaldo heavy criticism and a not-so-heavy fine...
