@gigasubhuman agreed...these days footballers are more developed and tactical evolution means you don't get players that are lazy playmakers any more...which is also sad. However modern there's no room to carry passengers just because they are creative. The calibre of players was much better though 90's and 00's. Those of us who grew up on the early FIFA and Pro Evo games will know the riches of talent around Europe. Back then players were dispersed between Italy, Spain, England, France, Portugal, heck even placed like Turkey with starstudddd Brazil presence at clubs like Fenerbace and Galatasaray....football is much tougher now due to advancements in fitness and tactics but there's no question the spectrum of players in those days was superior. To name a few cult hero playmakers: Valderrama, M.Laudrup, Okocha, Aimar, Riquelme, Valeron, C.Reyna, Nakata, Davids, Recoba, Rivaldo, Juninho (Boro), Rui Costa, Van Der Vaart, Sneijder, Deco, Zidane, Gascoigne, Albertini, Romanian Hagi, Moroccan Hagi, Redondo, Pirlo, Xavi, Totti, Del Piero, Guti, Veron, Nedved, Mendieta, Denilson, Mancini, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Robinho, Bergkamp, Djorkaeff, ahhhhhhhh what a time!!!!! Absolute technicians A lot lacked the professionalism of the players of today but the ability was outrageous
@gigasubhuman when you downplay the abilities of Riquelme and Bergkamp that's how I know you are a millennial. Nuff said ...as for the other players who played for bottom of table clubs that's because of that talents around occupying the top clubs so I said they were cult heros ...but anyway you have downplayed the abilities of Riquelme and Bergkamp and that tells me everything I need to know lol

Show me another World Cup with such an epic collection of Legends...
Watching this just reminds me of the level of strikers back then, ridiculous, im nearly 40 and id say imo this is the best world cup ive seen so far, the level of players, the skills, it had everything.
Honestly im surprised the quality of most of these goals, most of the movemen, crosses, dribbles, jumps, flicks tricks as it comes to the scoring of the goals is honestly top draw, all the team has their own baller which they can play around, the quality of goals in this world cup is definitely draw dropping to say the least.
Thanks for the upload! Reliving the 98 WC brings back my childhood. This was the last WC I recorded on VHS for my dad (taped it so he could watch when he’d get back from work).
best year ever '98 was a good year in my childhood. Peru didnt make it by one red card. was tied in points to chile. best qualifiers we had in years! broke my heart dads Italian and he came back from Italy with a Roberto Baggio jersey for me it was amazing! but watching this amazing world cup secured my absolute Love to Football !!so enjoyable to watch Ronaldo Lima! and the Danish were great and dont even get me started on Suker and Croatia. simply amazing world cup.
Piala dunia terbaik dan paling berkesan. Awal aku kenal dan cinta dengan sepakbola. Piala dunia yang mengawali sepakbola modern. Dari pemain, kits, jersey, bola, lagu, tayangan, stadion. Semua sangat indah di piala dunia prancis 1998.
Very entertaining competition with many best 90's talents on the field from beginning until final match. and unforgottable theme song. World Cup with complete package i said
I was 11 when I watched it, it was my first world championship and it remains my best to this day. Then I fell in love with Croatians and my love for Roberto Carlos rose to unattainable heights. One of the greatest tournaments in history.
90 and 00 football was amazing, gave you another feeling. 94 was the first cup I really watched and we got the bronze. Best summer and early memories waking up during the night as a kid to watch world cup.
I was four years old..the memory is blur but i remember watching the cup in my home village of Chittagong with my family and a lots of kins with a lot of happiness and joy..my grandfather,father everyone was there...rewatching these brings tear to my eyes as life has changed a lot...ohh. how i wish i could bring back time!
what a nostalgia, i miss this era in everything. i remember watching this WC 98 first half of it in the hospital after i had an operation, damn i remember watching it with old Patients and having fun talking and drinking tea and food.
So many quality players it's unbelievable. The strikers alone WORLD Class not to mention the other posiitons. What a joy it was growing up and watching legends at work. 90´s soccer by far the best era. Legends like Brazil : Ronaldo,Cafu,Taffarel,Bebeto,Rivaldo,Roberto Carlos Norway : Tore Andre Flo Italie : Vieri,Baggio,Cannavaro,Del Piero Austria : Herzog Denmark : Laudrup's,Schmeichel France : Henry,Thuram,Desailly,Zizou,Trezeguet,Djorkaeff,Petit,Pires,Barthez Spain : Hierro,Raul,Morientes,Luis Enrique Nigeria : Oliseh,Babangida Paraguay : Chilavert,Ayala Mexico : Blanco Netherlands : Bergkamp,Jonk,Davids,Seedorf,Jonk,Overmars,Kluivert,De Boer brothers,Winter Bulgaria : Stoichkov Belgium : Nilis Germany : Klinsmann,Matheus,Kahn,Bierhoff England : Shearer,Ince,Scholes,Beckham,Seaman,Sheringham,Campbell,Adams, Romania : Petrescu,Popescu,Hagi Colombia : Valderama Argentina : Batistuta,Crespo,Ortega,Veron,Zanetti Croatia : Prosinecki,Suker In the modern game you are lucky. If you can name 5 world class players in their respective positions.
You left out so many players still lol, but good list. Ronny Johnsen and Solskjaer won a treble the following season with United for example, JJ Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu, Taribo West, Finidi George, Rigobert Song, Samuel Etoo, Mustafa Hadji, Nouredine Naybet, Lucas Radebe , Benni McCarthy, Marcelo Salas, Ivan Zamorano, Hidetoshi Nakata, Shinji Ono, Kawaguchi, Ali Daei, Jaap Stam etc...I could still go on.
it was the best sports event I have ever seen in my life. so many legendary things in one tournament. what I remember: - Roberto Baggio scoring a penalty after missing one in WC 94 - Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Bebeto in one team at the same time - headers from the king of headers Bierhoff - Batistuta hat-trick - 18 y.o. Owen goal against Argentina - Mihajlovic classic free kick goal - Nigeria number 1 in their group - Backham classic free kick goal (his first goal for England) - beginning of shining stars for Vieri, Henry, etc. - old generation of superstars like Laudrup, Klinsmann, etc. - Bergkamp state-of-the-art goals - Salas showing his strong side - Cocu, Kluivert etc. at their prime - Thuram scoring his only two goals with France, both in one game - Davor Suker as top scorer - the best France national team in the history captained by Didier Deschamps - probably the most famous referee in football history, Pierluigi Collina
Ronaldo, suker, vieri, inzaghi, batistuta, salas, zamorano, owen, shearer, trezeguet, bierhoff, kluivert, even tore andre flo. The times when pure strikers were common and scoring goals for fun. Pure strikers are so rare today. I can only think of haaland and lewandowski right now.
The first World Cup I remember watching was Mexico 86 (barely, just the Maradona goals), then Italy 90 (what a bore), and of course USA 94 (I had a summer job that summer so I had to listen the games over radio). France 98 is special because of the players. This was the time when European football was starting to get big in the States. What an amazing time that was.
9 year old me supporting Netherlands 🇳🇱 and especially Edwin Van der Sar And there is still a whole summer left with daily football games on the street with friends in St. Petersburg
Good taste. That Netherlands side had it all. Strong defenders (stam, de boer), technical and smart midfielders (seedorf, de boer, cocu) and phenomal forwards like bergkamp and overmars
I remember usa 94 not quite as vividly as this one though It was 1998 I was in Perú, watching it through a 1980s small tv in our living room. I only went to school at that time(Escuela) how time has flied! RUclips is our go- to time machine when nostalgia and loneliness hits
J'avais 9 ans à cette époque! Je me rappel de tout ! C'était le feu au quartier ! Que ce soit, un match de la France, du Maroc ou une autre équipe Africaine! Quelle époque de mon enfance avec ce titre de Champion du monde! Et les arabes et Africains du quartier qui célébraient avec nous autres Français!! ❤️❤️❤️ La magie ethnique de la France a travers le sport le plus populaire du monde! Ça rassemble! 👏👏
This Indian team was much more stronger than any other team of India,especially the current generation team.Indians must reinforce belief that they can match any team of the world then only they may reach the next level. Look at the speed of Indian wingers , they were simply mesmerising . Indians must watch full match to understand that to what extent they have deteriorated in the last four decades. This indian team could have become Asian Champions for sure. I think this was the last Golden generation of footballers in india and from here onwards india slumped
was an amazing world cup no fucked up political drama respectful players beautiful goals great theme-song and a fest of cultures as it should be (ok there were terrible hooligan clashes in some cities, but overall it was a wonderful world cup during the best time of football ❤ ) incomparable to todays fakeshow worldcups... 😢 france'98 unforgotten 🥰
People over here saying that this was the best WC (dont get me wrong , it was) but at the same time arent talking about how this WC was rigged so that France and Brazil wouldnt meet until the Final. If you dont believe me, look it up. Plantini hinself admitted it as well
have you just noticed that the organizer chooses his half of the table and generally avoids the supposed biggest team? do you think it was different now? russia in 2018 was in part 2 of the table with spain and england while in part 1 you had france, belgium, argentina, brazil and portugal
@@genzalarboa3110 Have you noticed how France was placed in group C instead of group A? Host nations are normally placed in group A because they arent placed within the selection pods. Platini admitted that he pressured the organizers to change the group draws purposely so that France and Brazil wouldnt be able to face each other until the Final. The “dream Final” he called it. Basically it the final match up that he thought everyone at the time had most hoped for. Russia was the only seed in the 2018 WC who knew their spot in the draw, so there really wasnt much controversy there. Like I said, if you dont believe me, look it up.
@@genzalarboa3110 And no, they choose half the table. Besides the host/hosts, the remaining teams are placed in to draw pots based on their rankings, and the draw is done from there. As well, nations from certain confederations cannot be placed into the same group, as a result are placed into the next group.
@@RanaltheBeetle t's good to be gullible! in 2014, ask what was the final dreamed by the brazilians, they will all answer you an argentinian brazilian final which, coincidentally, was in different tables and if spain champion in 2010 had finished first of its group instead of to be eliminated, she would have been in the table of argentina in 2006 in germany, against whom did germany dream of winning? against brazil who had beaten them in the final of the 2002 world cup and by chance the two teams were in different tables in 1990 in italy, the reigning world champion is argentina who is placed in a fairly easy group (cameroon, romania, ussr) which normally should have sent her team to the part of the table where italy was not but as they just qualified as best 3rd they ended up in the italy draw whenever a country could potentially win the world cup, the reigning world champion and/or their biggest rival are always in the other table, so you can believe it's coincidence or admit it's chance is sometimes directed
@@genzalarboa3110 Lmao stop trying to sound smart. There is evidence of Germany wanting to play Brazil in 2006. Brazil were one of the favorites among other nations (Germany, Argentina, etc.). When you “by chance” that doesnt automatically mean rigging. As I said before, the host nation/nations are usually given their own seed, then the remaining teams are seeded based on their world ranking. Brazil and Germany couldve met in the final regardless because they were on opposite sides of the playoff bracket, but Brazil ended up losing to France in the quarter finals, while Germany lost to Italy in the semifinals. There was no rigging at all, so I dont know why you brought this up as a relevant defense. You call me gullible, yet you’re the one pointing out alleged rigging/corruption when there was none. Lol just stop while you’re ahead.
Just realised that Bergkamp’s goal against Argentina has two different bits of commentary from Barry Davies. Other videos on RUclips have him saying different lines so assume he’s commentated again over the highlights later.
Was only 11, went on a family holiday to south of France in frejus after the Denmark 4-1 Nigeria game, was in the pub with my dad when we went out to Argentina.
From a Frenchman who was in Paris at age 20 that 12th of July 1998: it is not possible to describe this event and all the emotions that it provoked accurately, you had to be there, and I was lucky enough to be. Also, Davor Suker is a fucking legend, this goal he scored against us is one of my favorites.
i was 4 when this world cup took place and the memory about it is bassirs first goal on scottland because they showed it a lot on tv and then i had the panini album containing a lot of photos and i have also 2 mcdonald toys of this world cup

final could have been better if they didn't poison Ronaldo

Very entertaining competition with many best 90's talents on the field from beginning until final match.
and unforgottable theme song.
World Cup with complete package i said

Best WC in my opinion, so many great games and goals...the Bergkamp goal vs Argentina ❤
TY, i'm french and 18 yers old in 98, most best World Cup dude
90 and 00 football was amazing, gave you another feeling. 94 was the first cup I really watched and we got the bronze. Best summer and early memories waking up during the night as a kid to watch world cup.
I guess you are danish
@@lionwarriorking Sweden got the world cup bronze 94 🇸🇪 Danmark won the euros as a replacement when Jugoslavien was at war
I'm from '93, I know not even half of the goalscorers, but it still feels more relatable than modern football.
I was 10 years old, and i remember a lot ,for me the best Mundial, i had Vieri's shirt and used to play football with my friends
Zidane & Rivaldo Alltime Legends
Zenadine Zidane my favorite player of all time
The first world cup I watched. I enjoyed it as a middle schooler. Great memories!
Great era of football, was on holiday as a kid remember watching loads of it with my parents.
I was four years old..the memory is blur but i remember watching the cup in my home village of Chittagong with my family and a lots of kins with a lot of happiness and joy..my grandfather,father everyone was there...rewatching these brings tear to my eyes as life has changed a lot...ohh. how i wish i could bring back time!
1998 Ronaldo…Jesus Christ. That was his peak form; strength, technique, speed and acceleration.
what a nostalgia, i miss this era in everything.
i remember watching this WC 98 first half of it in the hospital after i had an operation, damn
i remember watching it with old Patients and having fun talking and drinking tea and food.
Best goals, best boots, best Pitches, best players ❤🎉
Still one of the best world cups ever...
With 2006
The level takent wad insane back then, most teams had a good spread of major talent.
So many quality players it's unbelievable.
The strikers alone WORLD Class not to mention the other posiitons.

If you can name 5 world class players in their respective positions.
You said it all! That's i am feeling too.every team had good players and best of the bests except Diego was there...
You left out so many players still lol, but good list. Ronny Johnsen and Solskjaer won a treble the following season with United for example, JJ Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu, Taribo West, Finidi George, Rigobert Song, Samuel Etoo, Mustafa Hadji, Nouredine Naybet, Lucas Radebe , Benni McCarthy, Marcelo Salas, Ivan Zamorano, Hidetoshi Nakata, Shinji Ono, Kawaguchi, Ali Daei, Jaap Stam etc...I could still go on.
Of all the names for Denmark, Peter Mueller was their best player in this tournament. He was massive
Best of the best players played in this worldcup…. Never forget!!
I remember rushing home from school (I was 12) just before Cesar Sampaio's goal vs Scotland, until 2014, France '98 was my favourite world cup
it was the best sports event I have ever seen in my life. so many legendary things in one tournament. what I remember:
- Roberto Baggio scoring a penalty after missing one in WC 94
- Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Bebeto in one team at the same time
- headers from the king of headers Bierhoff
- Batistuta hat-trick
- 18 y.o. Owen goal against Argentina
- Mihajlovic classic free kick goal
- Nigeria number 1 in their group
- Backham classic free kick goal (his first goal for England)
- beginning of shining stars for Vieri, Henry, etc.
- old generation of superstars like Laudrup, Klinsmann, etc.
- Bergkamp state-of-the-art goals
- Salas showing his strong side
- Cocu, Kluivert etc. at their prime
- Thuram scoring his only two goals with France, both in one game
- Davor Suker as top scorer
- the best France national team in the history captained by Didier Deschamps
- probably the most famous referee in football history, Pierluigi Collina
Ronaldo, suker, vieri, inzaghi, batistuta, salas, zamorano, owen, shearer, trezeguet, bierhoff, kluivert, even tore andre flo. The times when pure strikers were common and scoring goals for fun. Pure strikers are so rare today. I can only think of haaland and lewandowski right now.

France 98 is special because of the players. This was the time when European football was starting to get big in the States. What an amazing time that was.
I watched WC from 1986 . But this is the best. I enjoyed whole tournament live and had the last laugh with Zizou double clinching Frances first WC
I remember buying this on vhs, must of watched it a 100 times. Oh the memories
Some of these goals are jaw-droppingly good!
46:10 still one of the best goals ever
it shows how Owen was naturally gifted player
I had this DVD. Great memories.
After bad world cups 1990 and 1994. This was a good world cup. Fine matches and a lot of stars
13:13 "Issa you can't blame him this time (even though he did get his feet mixed up.)"
Wonderful.
36:01 legendary commentary
My favourite part 😅
This was the first world cup I remember watching, and to this day I have that goal celebration song stuck in my head.
All teams had good or amazing players. Such a great world cup. It was the first i watched and IMO, still the Best one.

People over here saying that this was the best WC (dont get me wrong , it was) but at the same time arent talking about how this WC was rigged so that France and Brazil wouldnt meet until the Final. If you dont believe me, look it up. Plantini hinself admitted it as well
have you just noticed that the organizer chooses his half of the table and generally avoids the supposed biggest team? do you think it was different now?
russia in 2018 was in part 2 of the table with spain and england while in part 1 you had france, belgium, argentina, brazil and portugal
@@genzalarboa3110 Have you noticed how France was placed in group C instead of group A? Host nations are normally placed in group A because they arent placed within the selection pods. Platini admitted that he pressured the organizers to change the group draws purposely so that France and Brazil wouldnt be able to face each other until the Final. The “dream Final” he called it. Basically it the final match up that he thought everyone at the time had most hoped for. Russia was the only seed in the 2018 WC who knew their spot in the draw, so there really wasnt much controversy there. Like I said, if you dont believe me, look it up.
@@genzalarboa3110 And no, they choose half the table. Besides the host/hosts, the remaining teams are placed in to draw pots based on their rankings, and the draw is done from there. As well, nations from certain confederations cannot be placed into the same group, as a result are placed into the next group.
@@RanaltheBeetle t's good to be gullible! in 2014, ask what was the final dreamed by the brazilians, they will all answer you an argentinian brazilian final which, coincidentally, was in different tables and if spain champion in 2010 had finished first of its group instead of to be eliminated, she would have been in the table of argentina
in 2006 in germany, against whom did germany dream of winning? against brazil who had beaten them in the final of the 2002 world cup and by chance the two teams were in different tables
in 1990 in italy, the reigning world champion is argentina who is placed in a fairly easy group (cameroon, romania, ussr) which normally should have sent her team to the part of the table where italy was not but as they just qualified as best 3rd they ended up in the italy draw
whenever a country could potentially win the world cup, the reigning world champion and/or their biggest rival are always in the other table, so you can believe it's coincidence or admit it's chance is sometimes directed
@@genzalarboa3110 Lmao stop trying to sound smart. There is evidence of Germany wanting to play Brazil in 2006. Brazil were one of the favorites among other nations (Germany, Argentina, etc.). When you “by chance” that doesnt automatically mean rigging. As I said before, the host nation/nations are usually given their own seed, then the remaining teams are seeded based on their world ranking. Brazil and Germany couldve met in the final regardless because they were on opposite sides of the playoff bracket, but Brazil ended up losing to France in the quarter finals, while Germany lost to Italy in the semifinals. There was no rigging at all, so I dont know why you brought this up as a relevant defense. You call me gullible, yet you’re the one pointing out alleged rigging/corruption when there was none. Lol just stop while you’re ahead.
Just realised that Bergkamp’s goal against Argentina has two different bits of commentary from Barry Davies.
Other videos on RUclips have him saying different lines so assume he’s commentated again over the highlights later.
Amazing 😍😍😍❤❤❤
I was 9 in this wc and i fell in love with the sport
My childhood 😢
Was only 11, went on a family holiday to south of France in frejus after the Denmark 4-1 Nigeria game, was in the pub with my dad when we went out to Argentina.
How many world class n9 and n10!! If every national team from 2022 were to play their 98 counterpart i think they d get destroyed...
The best world cup by far even I just was 12 years old.
I was 11
Greatest world cup. Lot's of goals here would be cancelled by var today though.
what a great throwback, i was 8 or 9
my second world cup. my mom would let me go to school late because it was the end of the year. awesome stuff
47’52. R Carlos fails,Laudrup’s goal ans célébration. Legend moment .

Pertandingan WORLD CUP 98 mengingat kan saya waktu masih baru bocah
懐かしいなー98年のW杯⚽️
日本が、初めて出場した大会で、思い出深いですわ😂
日本以外だと、オーストリア🇦🇹とベルギー🇧🇪を応援していたから、決勝トーナメントに残れなかったのは残念だったな😢
25:54
リュック・ニリスのゴール良かったなー。
あの時のベルギーはベテランが多かったし（シーフォやヴァンデルエルストetc）体力的にきつかったのかなぁ。
2010年代になって赤い悪魔🇧🇪が復活してくれて嬉しかったです😂
8:35
アントン・ポルスターのナイスゴール⚽️
GKのコンセルやリベロのファイヤージンガーなど
良い選手が揃っていたオーストリア🇦🇹も
98年大会以降W杯に参加出来ていないから、復活に期待したいなー。
Best Era. Best football. Best World cup.
I remember watching the opener after we sneaked a wee telly into work. We had to use a wire coat hanger as an aerial!
Great stuff
I still remember the commentator word during goal
min 7:34 .. this penal kick was a gift of the FIFA to Italy
Issa Best finisher
Zamorano 🚁
My first world cup ever....❤️❤️❤️
La mejor copa del mundo que me a tocado ver.
From a Frenchman who was in Paris at age 20 that 12th of July 1998: it is not possible to describe this event and all the emotions that it provoked accurately, you had to be there, and I was lucky enough to be. Also, Davor Suker is a fucking legend, this goal he scored against us is one of my favorites.
Como pode se orgulhar de um título roubado?
Best version for FIFA world cup ever without song
this world cup may be perfect
The lack of advertisement compared to the last WC is crazy!!
Piala dunia pertama Yg gw tonton, umur 8 thn, masih terngiang2 lagu nya ricky martin😊
37:32 "He's living up for what's required for those who wear the number 10 shirt for Argentina."
... and couple years later, Messi arrived :D
I love .....Yugoslavia last tournament.
we'll never have class players like that ever again. The guys could've taken any team in the world when they were motivated, even Brazil
so many goals from distance, nowadays everyone wants to run with ball straight to the gate
morocco 😍 what a beuatiful team they deserved to be qualified
i was 4 when this world cup took place and the memory about it is bassirs first goal on scottland because they showed it a lot on tv and then i had the panini album containing a lot of photos and i have also 2 mcdonald toys of this world cup
Croatia is really good
Excelente compilação , foi uma copa do caralho apesar de o Brasil ter vendido a copa para a Franga 😊
Unfortunatelly not all the goals. For example in group D there were only the first and third games of the group.
