- Summary: TOKYO, JAPAN (DECEMBER 7, 1999) (REUTERS) 1. EXTERIOR OF TOKYO FORUM BUILDING 2. INTERIOR OF TOKYO FORUM BUILDING 3. VARIOUS OF JAPANESE AND KOREAN WORLD CUP BOOTHS AND DISPLAYS INCLUDING STADIUM MODELS AND PHOTOGRAPHS 4. SOUNDBITE (English) PELE SAYING: "Always, we respect everyone, respect all the teams, all the groups, but always we pay attention more European groups because the big teams are there and coincidentally we have now the challenge between Germany and England and they come in the same group. I think it's good, but it's very very even, you know, the European group, in this draw, because all the teams are in good shape, and one or other team we know, we have some small country, like Croatia was a big surprise in the last World Cup, and they still played good. Then, I think we're going to have a very nice qualification." 5. BOBBY CHARLTON CHATTING WITH OFFICIALS 6. SOUNDBITE (English) BOBBY CHARLTON SPEAKING: "We're at loggerheads for 2006 and then when we came out of the draw I was sitting next to Franz Beckenbauer, and I felt him shiver. It's just one of those matches that sort of hits the imagination and there's so much history in the German England fixture with events have happened in previous World Cups and European Championships etcetera that probably was the highlight of the whole draw at the end of the day. It's good for us, I think because that's tough and you don't need any motivation when you play against Germany." 7.
