Golden Croatia 🇭🇷 generation. 98 world cup is full with wonderful Teams and super stars players from Brazil, Germany, France, Holland, Yugoslavia, Argentina, Italy. Those national-teams were had fantastic players and Croatia is with top 4 in Final. In my opinion 2018 Croatia is good but 98 is the best.
The tells you a lot about the current level of football. Italy, France, Brazil, Croatia, Germany, Netherlands, Czech Republic but also Argentina and England of late 90s early 2000s were much much better teams than the current best teams in the world. There is a distinct lack of talent in football, or maybe the sport has changed so much that dynamism outshines class.
Yes. 1998 Croatia had more talent than 2018. Again I don't care what people say, sometimes the most talented squad can underachieve. Just look at England 2004, and don't tell me that squad is worse player by player with England 2018. England 2018 worked better as a team and had less expectations. The same can be said about Belgium 2018.
@@bryanleeyf87 football quality has gone down massively in the past 20 yrs. Almost every national team in the world was stronger as individuals 20 yrs ago. I am not entirely sure if this is just a miserable generation for football, or the sport has changed so much that it's very difficult for pure talent to emerge now
@@bryanleeyf87 England is not a good example. That so called "golden generation" were only good for their clubs. They were all primadonnas on the international stage. Their modern generation is far better.
This is probably the most incredible thing to happen in world football. Thuram, who in 142 career games for France only scored those two goals to send France to the first final of a world cup in their history. On the second goal, at 2:40 you can even see him do a sign of the cross just before passing it off, that's why he's so mesmerized when he scores the second, it was divine intervention.
Thuram second goal is totally should be a red card for him. Can any one see him pushing a croatian defender? If france deserve to win it is said that the referee is buyers. Croatia deserve to be in the final.
one of the worst world cup of all time. The best is 2006 world cup where italy beat the cheater france . Zidane thinks the referee is stupid enough to go blind but he is wrong.
What are you talking about ? Football is a contact game , when you are in a defensive state, i think for a defender to put in some pressure to the striker it is quite reasonable. But for the striker to push , kick in order to score a goal, then it is a foul . May be red or yellow is too harsh but it is definitely a foul and not a goal.
im happy about it and proud on the croatian team! it doesnt matter now if we win or not! they write history in our country and in the fifa history as the smallest country that enterd to the finals since 1930. Im proud to be a Croat! let the better team win the World Cup! Good Luck France!
Faut pas oublier que c'était... il y a 20 ans. Le vocabulaire, les manières de parler, les expressions, tout a beaucoup évolué depuis dans le langage courant. Ce qui sonne ringard aujourd'hui était bien plus naturel alors.
Valentin Nadeau t'as vu quand il dit :"je pense donc je suis "au niveau du second but de Thuram? LOL ca a rien à voir .Thuram en fait se posait la question mais qu' est ce qui m'arrive moi qui n'ai jamais marqué de toute ma carrière c'est moi le sauveur ce soir c'est quoi cette histoire...c'est ca en fait qu'il se dit. il l'a dit dans une interview
I would love to see Croatia win the world cup and pay France back for 1998. Croatia had the best team in the world cup in 1998 but lost to France, even though they were the better team. France also had the home advantage in 1998.
I'm still waiting for a match between Croatia and France in a big tournament that France will win without referee helping them along the way. We all know about this game and the foul on Jarni by Thuram that the referee "didn't see" and the final in Russia 2018 where an obvious dive by Griezmann was turned into a free kick that led to a goal and the unintentional Perišić handball that was after a couple of minutes looking at the VAR replay turned into a penalty for France (funny how the same unintentional handball was not called when the ball struck Trezeguet's arm in Euro 2004 in Portugal and after which he scored for France, but even with the help of the referee that time France couldn't beat Croatia and the score was 2-2).
We are t were just warriors we were magicians(artists)with ball.Tehnically best team in that World Cup:Šuker,Prosinečki,Boban...Prosinečki was one of the best dribblers ever!
Pensei que só o Brasil tivesse vendido pra França em 98. Mano, olha os gols da França kkkkk o primeiro lembrou o primeiro gol do Brasil contra Alemanha na final de 2002. Tá pra nascer Copa mais vendida que essa de 98. Graça a Deus larguei dessa alienação
Robert Jarni, best left back Croatia ever had, was fouled (but the referee didn't call it) for the winning goal for 2-1 in France 98 and also for the winning German goal in the Euro 96 QF in England. By no fault of his own, he is "guilty" for the goals that had Croatia eliminated from those torunaments. VAR would have helped with this. I still can't believe how the French are still angry at Bilić and say he was "faking" while it is clear that he was smacked on the chin by Blanc. It's especially ridiculous now that the players are overreacting and exaggerating any kind of contact, kick or punch they receive. Unlike many cases, this was an actual punch.
@@juliencas7859 Bilić explained what happened, and to me it makes sense. He had yellow allready. Blanc "hit him" and what went trough his mind was, okay, we had a pushing, what does referee does in thos situations? Yellow to you, yellow to you, fixed. And that would be red for Bilić. So he, in the heath of the moment threw himself and that was it. Bilić really wasnt an actor, trough his whole career. We got even worse in this final, Griezman dived clearly, got a freekick, and France led 1:0. It would be MUCH different game if we scored first. France needing to attack wouldnt be so good for their type of players, especially since we had crazy midfield, hard to take a ball from them.
@@igorsvacic217 I was answering to the people thinking it was a fixed match, if it was fixed bilic had no reason to do that no? in both cases its just cheating. The only difference is the consequences, blanc's red card didn't cost us the game but it could have let your team equalize and win. But man we both know that there are dives like that in every game that's part of football since a long time. Of course it would have been a different game if you scored first but you can't say that it's a free goal it was a well placed free kick. It's not like the 1990 wc final which was fully determined by a dive. I understand your point but don't act like a dive like that is a huge disgrace because I'm pretty sure that we can find dives from most of your players on their career its part of the game now. Anyway great world cup from Croatia I hope you will win something in the future your country deserves it
Después de 20 años resulta que la final es Francia-Croacia, ver esto es como viajar en el tiempo y ver a muchos de esos jugadores en ambas selecciones actuales
Épico realmente. Pero sin intención de ser malaleche pero los 2 goles no fueron con falta??? Pienso que ahora sí lo hubieran sancionado o en otro lugar que no fuera la casa del Organizador. Me parecieron faltas de Thuram en ambos goles
Must have been sad for Laurent "The President" Blanc to miss a world cup because of the "Academy Award-worthy" acting of that little son of a bitch of Bilic.
I come for the face of the Croatia coach, having tied in the final, I do not celebrate it because he already knew that they were going to lose by history
As I see it, Croatia has no chance against Africa. Dont know why, but they can win and loose against everyone - but they never can win against whole Africa.
I remember this game I was 4 years old then my dad and big brother were rooting for France, but I was just in the sitting room glad that I had to stay up late
sold game by Croatian president Tudman at that time...bought and paid by Zlatko Bagaric and Tiffany owners. same thing 20 years later...there was even information out on the result...most laughed when i told them 2 days before the game how it will end ...they are not laughing now..

I think his hand signal was part of communication with his teammate probably wanted to do a One two
That's not Thuram's style; he's asking his teammate to come closer for the pass-and-go
Thuram second goal is totally should be a red card for him. Can any one see him pushing a croatian defender? If france deserve to win it is said that the referee is buyers. Croatia deserve to be in the final.

Nope

Oh my God! I remember these goals like it was yesterday. I supported France all the way and they won. Great job Thuram.
Watched this match live, man time flies.
oh Thuram..what a player
It is still weard to me that so few people saw monster foul which lead to France second goal. This game was rigged as hell.
Croatia: 1998 3. place
2018 2. place
2038 1. place
I hope
