This is a test to check whether a member has an eye of an eagle when he or she watches the World Cup 2002 games. If he or she is good in examination of documents to find out the discrepancies and inconsistency amongst the documents, he or she should have no problem in providing a correct answer to this question. There is no trick here. This is a straight forward question.

T.O.

I presume you refer to the player DAF (Delivered at Frontier), but you should know that this is also the name of a famous Dutch truck manufacturer.

Laurence,

WORLD CUP 2002 FINAL RESULTS - FOB OR DAF?

Our congratulations to you for providing the right answer to our question!

Talking about Incoterms 2000, if Brazil wins, we have FOB which then means “First Odds/Outright Brazil”. If Germany wins, it would be DAF - "Deutschland Always First". Or we may even have CIF - "Corea Is First". (Note: In Japanese or Korean spelling, "Korea" is spelt as "Corea"). If Turkey wins, we have CPT - Cup Possessor/Presented (to)/Picks Turkey".

BRAZIL V. ENGLAND - THE RESULT WAS ALREADY FORETOLD IN AN ENGLISH DICTIONARY

When we look at the “Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary” for the choice of words starting with the alphabet “O” to fabricate the alternative meaning of FOB, we note that in the word “out-play”, the example given by the English scholar is “The English team was out-played by the Brazilians”.

That explains why Brazil always beat England in the previous games. Hope members can check if there are similar examples in other English dictionaries.

If there were such examples, something should be done by the fans of Beckham - to write to the publishers for a new edition.
