This team was my childhood. Thanks for the memories. I grew up watching Mexico, and Brazil play but after France 98, France won my heart over. I remember transitioning to Jr high and hs and you guys were still the best with zidane and trezeguet. You guys won about four cups in a row almost. The wc , euro and two confederation cups. I miss the old France man. Thanks for the memories.
HOLY MOLLY THEY HAD: Barthez Thuram Desailly Blanc Lizarazu Deschamps Petit Zidane Djorkaeff Trezeguet Henry Not suprised at all they ruled over the world at the time. What a team !!!!!!!
hey everybody its Nosaj Makelele was not selected in 1998 although his first National team appearance was 1996 when he won the French league 1 with Nantes FC. Anelka was left also in the 98 World Cup. He was later recalled in 2004-2007 to the squad.
I am Spanish but I do have a lot of love for France and French culture since I've been there a lot of times, and I don't know what does this team have that makes me love it so much. Maybe the fact that they made defensive football look beautiful.
The best French team ever ! France deserved to win it, I really love this team and I missed them...I wish to see them again playing together . wow time go so fast...miss Zidan, lizarazu, turan, dessaie, bartez, petit....etc The 2006 team was the best too !
Ahmed Alhelabi without a doubt, it shows how disgusting and overblown the game is now , back then there was talent and it wasn’t overblown and destroyed by the like of sky sports
1995 Copa America Euro 1996 Atlanta 1996 Olympics 1996 African Cup of Nations 1997 Copa America 1997 Confederations Cup 1998 FIFA WORLD CUP 1999 Confederations Cup Euro 2000 Pinnacle of football
The Griezmann dive ahead of the first goal, not sportsmanlike. VAR must intervene. He didn´t. Penalty situation: VAR was not allowed to intervene because it was no clear penalty situation. All referees said that you can´t give such a penalty in a World Cup final. It is very sad because this highly talented French Team didn´t play as magnificent as we thought and in the end, they needed the Referee to decide the game for them. I don´t say the referee did it on purpose - but he was the reason France won.
Patrick Häuser maybe most of the referees had that opinion but not of them, at the end of the day the hand was still there blocking an eventual goal from the french player behind him, what about the second goal fron croatia ? And France was just going to dominate croatia in the second half anyway
I really thought the adventure would end with Croatia in the semi final; these guys had a great team (Suker was #1 scorer in the WC that year i think) But Thuram suddenly transformed into Trezeguet to help us pass. PS: Laurent Blanc' red card was one of these referring scandals you always have in the WC
Bender B. Rodriguez I recently watched the match highlights as I hadn't seen the match before, and Blanc's red card actually looked like a red card, maybe not a proper punch but he did raise his hand. Wasn't that bad in the end since you won both that match and the final, so there was no feelings of 'what if'.
+Plot Twist I'm Italian but come on... losing with Croazia and Croatia in the final? No way, you were much stronger than them. They overachieved reaching the semifinal.
+Plot Twist If we Italians managed to beat you in the quarter finals (we almost did it when Baggio almost scored a gol) we would have certainly defeated Croatia and in the final we would have won against Brazil, expecially since Ronaldo wasn't in good condition for the final and the Brazil team was built on him. France vs Italy was an anticipated final that year.
alex kanyima France whipped them 3 0 , I don’t think Brazil have beaten France in the World Cup going back about 60 years . France done they in 86 98 and 06 .
That was my first time I was eight, i watched 1998 fifa world cup. that world cup was awesome, it thrilled my spines, after that i became the Huge fan of France Squad.
Between 1998 and 2003 we won everything. After, in WC 2002 and Euro 2004, there is a moment we weren't good enough. In 2006 it was different. It was all about the team at that moment.
+Tudal Le Breton yeah all these people should stop the hate man. Realistically speaking France was the best team in the world for about six years. 98-2003 2004. Remember after the failure of 2002 France bounced back and won the 2003 confederation cup and they would go on a 20 win winning streak. So these haters need to stop arguing and admit France was the best team of late 90s early 2000s. Not a opinion but a fact.
Romario, 1994 WC striker for Brazil was still a great player, but old timer Zagallo decided to cut him after a minor injury, thinking he was lazy, dissimulated or something. French poisoned Ronaldo, the end.
@Pierre Martin They can be french on the paper but they have no french blood. Also you can figure it out by their names. Mbappe,N'golo Kante,N'zonzi,Umtiti...all african names.
@Pierre Martin Interesting how 2 countries that killed so many people and had so many colonies in the past(England and France) are acting so liberal and non-racist today. I can't be jelaous to someone who needs colonies and immigrants to win
⚽ France 🇫🇷 in 2001 achieves the Three-peat of major trophies: World cup98/Euro2000/Confederations2001 Only ⚽BRASIL 🇧🇷 did that TWICE...1997 (WC94/América97/Confe97) and 2005(WC2002/América2004/Confe2005)
Ronaldo endangered his own life to play in that match. Lucky for him something horrible didn't happen during the match. How come a person who experience a compulsion in less than 24 hours could permitted to play such high tension activity like world cup final?
Ernesto Gasulla he was poisoned... Dirty FIFA awarded this WC to the French. That incident affected the brazilian team hours before the match, did you know they didn't had their warm-up because of the Ronaldo incident...
I think we can win another WC because Messi,CR7,Buffon, etc... will not be in the WC 2022,2026,2030, etc... and we have young player like Mbappé,Pogba,Griezmann, etc... so we can win another WC in the future!
Tbh, you cannot blame the players for losing it during the tournament. They had a really incompetent manager for a long time and finally decided that they had it enough. Sure, they could have dealt with the situation better, but I bet anyone put in their position would have felt the same.
What’s funny is that telemundo and the Argentine commentor both aligned for the world cup here in the USA just like when I was 8 years old and had just arrived to Washington DC. I had a bad feeling France again would win due to their strong team. Odd feeling I really hope a South American team can win the World Cup in 2022 but the European most definitely are top notch right now.
I know this video is about France WC 1998, but one fun fact I learned from Deschamp interview about that final match is Ronaldo clearly not fit for the game and maybe forced to play. You know you're phenomenal when your opponent watch your every move
team is young but so talented. played great against Germany at 2016 Euros but lazy against Portugal. Whenever this current French team wakes up and realizes what they are, they will be tough to beat and entertaining to watch
GrayCat Lossing in there Home final is somthing that Could Make France Stronger Like Germany at Euro 2008 Final Then in 2014 a World title... the French will probaly Have a simular Path They have a young and talanted Generation Whit Europe's Best Attack...Varana Humtiti and Digne Maybe Kurusawa Will make the French Roster for the next World cup i think France will be unstoppable if they Get a More experienced Solide Back line
20 years later, they will rule the world once more. Allez Les Bleus!
