    DAEGU, South Korea &#8211; The third-place game is often overlooked, but with 
    South Korea playing in this year's consolation match before a fervent home 
    crowd, Saturday's game against Turkey at least will have an emotional 
    edge. (6 a.m., Ch. 23 in Spanish; also on tape at 12:30 p.m., Ch. 8)

    <p>
      South Korea is the first non-European team in the third-place game since 
      Brazil edged Italy in 1978. Turkey defeated the other tournament host, 
      Japan, earlier in the tournament.

      <b>Ronaldo's new do now all the rage in Brazil </b>
    </p>

    RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil &#8211; When Brazilian star Ronaldo shaved off all his 
    hair except for a small wedge-shaped patch along the top of his forehead, 
    he started something of a trend in his home country.

    <p>
      In the poor Bento Ribeiro neighborhood on Rio's north side, where the 
      25-year-old striker grew up, kids are lining up to have their heads 
      shaved a la Ronaldo.
    </p>
    <p>
      &quot;God help me!&quot; 25-year-old cleaning lady Ana Paula Noronha Viera de 
      Paula replied when asked what she thought of Ronaldo's new do. &quot;My 
      boyfriend cut his hair like that and I made him shave it all off!&quot;

    body back on track in 100 days after financial problems and allegations of 
    corruption marred his re-election campaign. ... U.S. midfielder Claudio 
    Reyna was among 16 players voted to the MasterCard All-Star Team of the
