I agree with you on that one. My earliest WC memory was 86 and I have to say that France 98 hands down still stands out as the best WC I've ever seen only 2014 and 2018 come close but still not close enough.
I remember I was 8 years old & couldn’t get enough of this cup. It was a time where a lot of players held equal talent which made it such a special era.
I was 11 years old, I watched a 98 final football game. I'm rooting for the Brazilian team, I'm Brazilian. Brazil was runner-up, I cried a lot, but congratulations, France and Zidane are sensational and awesome! won World Cup 98 award.
I was 13 years old when this World Cup took place, also happened to be the first one I watched and why I ended up becoming a Netherlands fan. I remember Kluivert having a brilliant tournament too, he was my favourite player in that particular Dutch squad.
Best year of my life till date.. Still remember I was 10 years old and this was for the first time i was watching wc football on TV with my father.. Those were some times. Will cherish the memories forever
I was 3 years old. But I can remember a little of that final. Thay day I met two legends: Ronaldo " El Fenómeno" ( sadly, he wasn't ok), and of course "Zizou".
I was about 11 then, the memories of the World Cup which remain etched in my memory are Zizou's headers in the final n his out of the world play and Laurent Blanc kissing Fabian Barthez's bald head before the start of every France match.Also in the Final though Laurent Blanc sat out coz of a red card, he came to the dug out to kiss Barthez's head. Also Croatia's brilliant display of football and their superb striker Suker. The best World Cup I have seen in these 32 years of my life.
There's an SBS (Australian TV channel) Documentary on France 98 narrated by Les Murray AM - an outstanding tournament! And who can forget Patrick Kluivert's header!
France was now the football elite joining the other 7 nations winning world cup. The unique fact is France won in regular time twice and lost in penalties twice. France 1998 was the best moment when they won for the first time. France most dramatic final was against Argentina (though they lost).
It seems not the 70s or 80s, but it looks (or rather is perceived) already as a retro chronicle, although the quality is excellent. My first FIFA World Cup seen on TV. Memories...
El primer mundial que vi, la mejor selección mexicana sin jugadores en ligas de Europa, sólo garra. Los mejores jugadores Ronaldo, Suker, Zidane. Estadios maravillosos, cuando no se necesitaba vender medio país para hacer un mundial.
4:45 Definitely the greatest Nigerian goal scored at the World Cup till date. I felt the vibrations all over the place from the elated fans across Naija, if not Africa as a whole. Long live Sunday Oliseh!
Best WC by far. It was a tournament that signalled the height of the golden era of football. Its no surprise that Euro 2000 was a great tournament two years later.
FIFA must do The Blu Rays AND Blu Rays 4k of FIFA TV Is such The Best football channel AND documental football of all Time Is better than other football documental of world cups that has been on vhs AND DVDs for that AND a lot of More reasons with cameras beatifuls It must pass i wolud Buy every Blu Ray 4k without doubts, with subtitules in spanish please AND various languages please!! live FIFA live The Football!!!! Please FIFA, Please, make.this dream true!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍😍😍
I remember 1998 worlf cup may be the last one the host nation only built one new stadium (stade the france), and the other only renovate and upgrade stadium, may be one of the cheapest to hosting, because 2002 world cup lot of stadium was brand new specialy korea, japan bulit only couple new stadium
Not sure I agree with that guy saying 'Golden Goal' was fantastic for fans. I remember it being awfully tense and horrible, and teams played extremely cautiously as a result.

I skipped school to watch the game. Wanted France to win and it happened. Amazing memories.

The best World Cup i have seen. So shiny and full of the '90s innocence.

@@anthonymcken6050 2022 came close
@@prabhavvenkatesh9247nah the 2022 final was the best so far but 2018 and 2014 were much better for me.
@@prabhavvenkatesh9247There were far more classic games in 1998 that you can watch even today. That tournament has stood the test of time.
Zidane and Ronaldo two Big Stars of the world Cup 98. The best CUP 90's
When they met again in quarterfinals 2006 they were both playing for Real together for already 4 years.

Bergkamps sublime last minute winner against Argentina was brilliant. Two class teams filled with top class talent
One of the greatest World Cups in history

This world cup was fake, ronaldo was poisoned and france won lucky thats all i now, brazil was real winner
@@matija5555 shut up salty croatian fan, you mad we beat you twice BOZO
@@opticalbacon3374 you are mad because this is true!!!
@@opticalbacon3374 My best world cup was 2018, because there was nothing bad and suspicious. And France won by fair play.

Zidane was a masterclass.

RIP Thierry Rolland
You call this a tournament recap and not even a single word about Bergkamp's goal against Argentina ?
One of the very best. Revenge for 1978.
Yeah well they still mentioned him, so it's fine. I would be worried, had they skipped him.
Also South Africa debut

Nothing better than winning something for your country. The hope it brings carries on for generations.
Un orgullo haber sido parte de este video! Muchas gracias FIFA!!!

Following the world cup since 1990 and this was the best world cup I have seen till date
I Agree with Ayo, we never sleep on a World Cup

They didn't lose the matches they lost the penalty shootout. France is a top football country.
Zidane 😍
That’s the first time I fell in love with football
I also wonder why golden goal was only used so briefly; it's adds something extra to extra times for sure!!
Nigeria defeating Spain 3-2 was my favorite moment!
It seems not the 70s or 80s, but it looks (or rather is perceived) already as a retro chronicle, although the quality is excellent. My first FIFA World Cup seen on TV. Memories...
1998 world cup French football ruled the world for the first time while in the 1990 and 1994 world cups they did not qualify

My first ever game was FIFa 98 on Nintendo 64!
World soccer international
Its been 22 years ago but the footage looks so old 🤪
Yeah, pre-HD technology + the odd filter that was chosen for that video don't do justice to that tournament's brilliance.
Croatia 💖🥉👈🙌

Vietnam team is determined to participate in the world cup
Agreed my Vietnamese people
Yeah you can do it, you can beat thai, malay, myanmar, indo
Vietnam qualified for the 2017 FIFA U 20 World Cup
Unique tournament
I remember when France was a new FIFA World Cup champions.
I am see all World Cup 1998 live on TV.
fantastic Mundial, better than 2002 and 2006
Inget banget zaman reformasi 98, nonton piala dunia ini..
Amazing! I was in class 8 😎
Best world cup hands down
Best WC by far. It was a tournament that signalled the height of the golden era of football. Its no surprise that Euro 2000 was a great tournament two years later.

Is the 32 team format the best World Cup format?? I'm not so sure about the 48 team format but the more knockout games the better!

JAMAICAN LOL😁I KNOW FROM THE ACCENT UK JAMO BOY..GOGOOL TO THE RESCUE

Withouts Ronaldo accident it would be a lot more amazing the finale
Accident? 🤣🤣🤣 jajajaja 💵💵💵
Entonces qué le pasó ? // What happened?
Josias Waszaj he got unconscious before the match and was way worse than normal
Are you about to play the game of your life and this happens? Please . . . how naive to believe this
Yeah sounds about fixed
I didn't saw this wc, but I was born 9 months after....

Os franceses até hoje zombam de nós por causa dessa final mas o mundo dá voltas😏
Quando que a volta foi dada?
Where was South Africa debut I mean after he arpatheid fifa what happend
Are you going to focus on 2002 Japan/Korea next? That was the big tournament for USA, getting to the quarters and should have beaten Germany.
what do u mean with 'should'? They should not, because they could not beat KAHN!!!
They did 2002 already
The USA had their best 2010
Brasil
We should have been in the final (Netherlands). Baiano made an obvious foul on Pierre van Hooijdonk! Should have been a penalty
Which minute? I wanna see it

MYebe the greatest team evr

Hey hello hi

Como estrañe a Ronaldo en la final ... 😢

Most of france players are from arsenal club during this time
France = Arsenal back then
Vieira and Petit only. Most were from Monaco. Deschamp and Zidane were from Juventus. Most played in France and Italy.
How can you talk about the 98 world cup and not talk about the GAME OF THE CENTURY ?
Iran vs USA , can someone explain how they missed that one ?

Historical world cup as it was the first that started the trend of FIFA controlling the outcome of world cups into the future
They always did that by giving Europe THREE TIMES (!) the amount of starting places than South America.
