Player transfers after World Cup

[Kasia_09]

I was wondering if you all could help me with a math project for school related to the World Cup 2002.

Could you give me a list of players who transferred to a better team/league after the World Cup, from the following 6 teams:

South Korea
United States
Turkey
Senegal
Cameroon
Nigeria

If you could tell me their prior club too, you would be of great help!

Thanks!

Korean players' transfers are,

Song Jong Guk to Feyenord (Netherlands) from Pusan Icons.
Cha Doo Ri to Bayer Levekusen (Germany) from Korea University.
Lee Eul Young to Trabzonspor (Turkey) from Puchon.

For the other countries I'm not sure. However I do know that Diouf and Diao from Senegal are both in Liverpool right now. Hope this helped.

For the USA: Greg Berhalter from Crystal Palace to Energie Cottbus. Hard to believe, but that was the only transfer to a better club involving any of the players for a World Cup quarterfinalist. Eddie Lewis moved from Fulham to Preston to get more playing time. Frankie Hejduk moved from Bayer Leverkusen to St. Gallen, also to get more playing time. No other transfers.

Where's that guy who got transfered to the LA Galaxy? ;)

Hong Myung-Bo. But K-League to MLS isn't really an upward move, more of a sideways one.

Hell, even the Germans I speak to, would take issue with Cottbus being noticeably better than Palace.

Taribo West (Nigeria) technically wasn't with a club at the time of the WC. He's now at Kaiserslauten (Germany), which I guess is a step up.

Just interested. Why those particular squads under the microscope?

I'm doing a statistical project about what the most successful team of the World Cup 2002 is. It's long and complicated thing. I can post it up sometime if someone's interested? It would be self-explanatory then. Thanks for all your help! It really proved of significance!
