Game Biography;

On 1 September 2001, Germany met England during the qualifying stages of the 2002 World Cup, at the Olympiastadion in Munich. England won the game 5–1, helped by a hat-trick from Michael Owen. This was also the last match Germany played at the Olympiastadion. The game was part of the qualifying tournament for the 2002 World Cup. Germany were the clear group leaders in the qualifying tournament before the game. With only the group winners advancing directly to the World.

A German victory would have confirmed their qualification and seen England competing with Greece and Finland for a place in the play-offs. A draw would have resulted in Germany requiring just another draw from their final game, and England requiring two victories, a German loss, and an improvement in their goal difference. Germany had lost just one of their previous sixty qualification games, for the 1986 World Cup, and had been unbeaten at the Munich Olympic stadium since 1973. The German Football Association were so confident that Germany would finish at the top of the qualifying table that they had arranged friendlies on the dates of the play-offs.

The game provided a boost for the England squad's morale, and greatly increased the popularity of their manager, Sven-Göran Eriksson. It was a low point for the Germany national team, whose performances had been worsening since winning UEFA Euro 1996. It spawned two hit records: "England 5 – Germany 1" by the Business and "Sven Sven Sven" by Bell & Spurling. German manager Rudi Völler's father was reported to have suffered a heart attack watching the game.

England beat Albania 2–0 in their next match, four days later. This meant that England and Germany entered the final qualifying game with an equal number of points, though England now had a better goal difference. Neither team managed to win their final group game, with a last minute Beckham free kick earning England a 2–2 draw with Greece. This sent England directly through, whilst Germany went into the play-offs, in which they defeated Ukraine to qualify for the World Cup.

At the finals tournament in South Korea and Japan the following year, Germany finished as runners-up to Brazil after losing 2–0 in the final. German captain Oliver Kahn became the first goalkeeper to be awarded FIFA's Golden Ball, recognising the tournament's best player.

England reached the quarter-finals, where they were also defeated by Brazil, losing 2–1. England named four strikers in their squad, with Robbie Fowler and Andy Cole having started the recent friendly with the Netherlands. Sven-Göran Eriksson recalled the in-form Michael Owen and his strike partner Emile Heskey in an attacking line-up for the match in Munich.
