At France 98 you can see match statistics, have detailed information about the progress of the match, and click on players for some facts obout them. Unfortunately the site is a bit confusing and slow for modem because of the use of many pictures. So for those with a slow connection it might seem better to go directly to FIFA and have the basic match figures and statistics from there.
At FIFA home page you can
find also the regulations of tournament. For example the tie-breakers for
the group tables you find at:
World
Cup Regulations
Or you unsure of a particular
rule? then try at
Laws
Of The Game
or explore the excellent
site from
FIFA
start page (you can even have an espagnol version)
