1998 World Cup Final

[foryourgore]

gah... if only they didnt die in the arse after euro 2000, best international squad of our time.. perhaps spain will come close now.. but that french team will be sorely missed.

[Johnyboyknowsbetter]

I think this world cup '98 has been terrific and awesome until today.

[Bhototoy]

between the legs of carlos!!!

[MusicaLatina914]

i liked zidane but i lost alot of respect for him...and to me there is no one better then Ronaldinho Gaucho. when i think of him i think about pure soccer talent and passion put together. he doesnt play to win or prove a point, he plays for fun, and to entertain. Thats what "futbol" is all about. Ronaldinho is pure soccer in one man.

[foryourgore]

@MusicaLatina914 well unfortunately for his clubs. he was payed alot of money to WIN those games, and if he has one fault, its that he didnt realise flair does not replace results. he worked bloody hard at psg, went to barca and showboated, if he didnt have the cream of the crop of world players around him, theyd have had an even poorer showing while he was with them. besides CR7 shits on him for skill and talent.

[MusicaLatina914]

@foryourgore i was gonna respond to everything you wrote to me but imma focus on the end.... which was "CR7 shits on him for skill and talent."......are you saying that CR7 has more skill and talent than Ronaldinho Gaucho ???

[TheSergeZebian]

did henry play?

[15thavenueboys]

Zidane using his head good, eh?

[s3rgrush]

@15thavenueboys LOL XD

[elfsblack]

[superlotus94]

[ouwetwarrior]

I was in france when i was 6 years old, i miss those days when the celebration happened, everyone dancing on the streets, this is why i love France cause in that year, i went to McDonalds and they used to give out free glass cups with pictures of the French football players i still got it in my kitchen <3

[soccerkidzzzzzz]

They payed brazil to let them to win, i figured it out last month

[eduds6]

1986 World cup > 1998 World cup > 1982 World cup

[julianmakhoul1]

that is a great france that earned the world cup and won it in stile! with 3-0 on brazil! hoop fully we will get to see like that france again as soon as possible!

[BlakCometProductions]

Zizou the legend in all his glory

[shinusuke13]

if zidane wasnt pissed at materazzi they would have won the 2006 as well damn italians

[milesrocksgh93]

@shinusuke13 exactly

[MrThrillafrommanilla]

Matterazi is a gay fish

[DINGSANSAN]

zizou! you will be missed!

[920Nash]

France without Zidane sucksss!!!

[jimboa17]

ZIDANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[laurentziu97]

haha great quality for a 1998 vid :D

[Civsuccess2]

King of head bun

[MrFataIity]

In the 1998 World cup, Zidane used his head to lead France to victory. in the 2006 world cup, Zidane used his head to seemingly cost France a world cup victory.

[whitsnake8]

@MrFataIity hahahaha..good one :D

[richard21solava]

damn brazil got fucked up

[thehumor]

brazil got owned again. first by france, now by us. (HOLLLLAAANDIAAAA!)

[geodaoriginal]

@thehumor and Hollllllaaaaaandiiiiiaaa By SPAIN!! HAHA

[BackWhenRapWasGood]

Where was the 1998 world cup anyway?

[BJ778]

@BackWhenRapWasGood it was in France

[VicRattlehead79]

@BackWhenRapWasGood

It was in France.

Stadium: Stade de France, Saint-Denis

[xxBLOODFEATHERxx]

zidane is the greatest, no fucking doubt!!

and then that fucktard materazzi insulted him 2006, he got pissed, headbutted him and was sent out.

[dukenukem4lifeyo123]

France need Zidane.

[badboyodee86]

@dukenukem4lifeyo123 just like england needed beckham

[eddieboy418]

I miss Zidane. France play like shit without Zidane.

[bufalax]

@eddieboy418 : exactly dude..

NO ZIDANE = WEAK FRANCE!

[ChrisZamoraTV]

zidane's got a head problem

[ErikV007]

@ChrisZamoraTV Lol Soo True

[OscarLiu24]

Good resolution in the video! I remember this was in my gr.1 summer, waken up by my dad 3:30 in the morning (was in China back then), and I was basically half-asleep, all I remembered was Zidane scored on 2 corner kicks.

[woodyfly]

France losing to china without zidane, lol.

[mcfast123]

the algierian coach was sure stupid not accepting him

[ilikecheesee87645]

@mcfast123 zidane denied the remour saying because he had already played for france

[atsukomaedaAKB]

これ日本からみてた

[Amerinep]

On remet ça cette année tranquille. l'Argentine va faire que de la merde avec maradonna, l'Espagne est favorite donc va perdre, c'est un théorème. Le reste, bah la même chose :) donc on remet ça cette année. Même sans zizou.

[abdulla1458]

wish he did that in 2006 zidane best of all time

[TorcaSbk1950]

Fuck sakes two corner kicks,what a bunch of assholes.

[dudewattf]

man this brings back memories, im french and i was in france during this world cup, i was 6 years old and i still remember everything about this, only thing was, i wanted brazil to win because i was in love with their jersey and since then ive been a brazil fan, im still proud of france though haha

[chrisvda88]

are you kidding me? u didn't want France to win? Man I wish I could see NL win the WC, my country

[pkidro]

i remember this, damn it brings back so much memories

[2muskatires]

[melitonish]

[yuhon09]

cheat!!!!!!!!!!

[jhcproddy]

im 17 this was the first football match i watch i can remember this as a kid, petit became my first favourite player after this cause i was also a arsenal fan! grew my hair and everything

[airdulf]

what a pass from viera to petit to finish it. arsenal goal right there

[scottjablonskis]

zindane = greatest

[gabespana12]

too true the red card in 06 was matarazzi fault.

[Lennon4life1968]

Ya gotta love some of these arguments going back and forth..lol

[pedrothecruel]

Piss poor goal scoring record. Most over hyped player in history.

[Pinkypinkmeez]

I don't like France but I LOVE Zidane! xD

[ftwbotedsquiticie]

we all love ZIDANE

[hayabusafmw]

ZIZOU!!!! ZIDANE!

[Paul1993GP]

I wonder what would happen if Sweden and France played... who would get butchered?

Allons enfants, anyway, great job by Zidane.

[EweTubee]

i acknowledge that zidane is a good player but there are so many better players that have passed through history:

Maradona, Pele, Di stefano, Garrincha, Puskas, Cruyff, Eusebio, Van basten, Kaka, Messi, Dalglish, Ronaldo, Romario, Beckenbauer, Rivelino, Charlton, Platini, Zico, Socrates, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Gullit, Baggio, Cantona, Valderrama... he deserved to win a world cup due to his shear skill and determination, but France didnt deserve to win... this was fixed, it was a joke.

[SexyBuilder1888]

Kaka, messi, ronaldinho cantona and rivaldo come no where near as good as zidane!

[EweTubee]

actually ronaldinho's achievements and rivaldo's achievements outdo Zidane by a long shot, you obviously know nothing about football.

[SexyBuilder1888]

you are the stupid fucker, because i said zidane was a better player than the likes of rivaldo and ronaldinho. Achievements have little to do with how good a player is.

The great Alan Shearer won very little when he played, meanwhile the likes of John O'Shea has many premier leagues and a champions league medal to his name, does that make him a better player?

No is the answer, you dumb retard

[EweTubee]

you stupid dickhead, you do not win fifa player of the year 2 times along with numerous European player of the year awards and 2 World cups and play for the likes of Ac Milan, Barcelona and Corinthians without being good you stupid motherfucker, im not taking about O'Shea, im talking about Ronaldinho and Rivaldo, so next time you argue a stupid point get your facts straight dickmouth.

[SexyBuilder1888]

you're acting silly, perhaps you were a little drunk when you said ronaldinho was a better player than the all time great zidane, all you need to do is look at his performance in the c.l final against leverkusen, or in the video above.

btw im not saying ronaldinho or rivaldo were bad players, but i am saying you are nothing more than an idiot when it comes to football

[Devilmaycry430]

yeah right Like ronny and rivaldo have been choosen as the greatest player in the past 50 years in europ

[EweTubee]

i didnt say in the past fifty years, there is no such record and if there was it would be impossible to determine due to the obviously varying opinions, they have won numerous awards which place them at the top of the list in the selected year.

[EweTubee]

in fact, there is a list made by the official fifa magazine that places rivaldo and ronaldo along with all the people i mentioned above in the top 100 players of the century, funnily enough, Zidane is underneath man of the on the list.

[sakisztt]

even though i am a brazil fan, zidane was the best, he deserved a world cup trophy in his collection, the man was pure inspiration...

[AZking45]

LoL i swear to god this match was fixed i swear.

The second goal: Look how NO player jump up to head the ball away.And that roberto carlos could´ve easily save the ball but chosses to do a fucking micheal jackson move-.-

third goal: Look how the defeding line just slows down after the pass and dont even try to catch him, and the goalie just dont reach after the ball.......

This was all because the cup was in france and they wanted etc. etc. etc.

[TrueBlueHalliday]

Stop talking shit Zidane was a powerful player especially in the air, Carlos is tiny. and as for the 3rd goal...they were already beaten, no one could be arsed to run back.

Brazil lost cz of all the hype about ronaldo nearly dying, then his name appeared on the team sheet minuted before kick, they were in chaos.

[Nintendere]

greatest WC ever.

[LeGrannySnatcher]

shit ... I got goosebumps watching zizzou score those man.

greatest player in the past 50 years

[BlazeTheTrusted]

zidane -->legend

allez le Bleu

[ldrslucas]

The thirs goal (0:41) proves how much OUR DEFENSE SUCKS!!! Brazil has always been known for having a crappy defense anyway...

[xerocada]

Brazil: poor loser. The key to a real champion is to know how to win and how to lose -graciously.

[PolterNagasaki]

And the 5 world cups weren't graciously won?

[gaine]

france was a one man show with zidane. now they are finished.

[Knighthawk1985]

ARSENAL WIN THE WORLD CUP!!!!!!!!!!

[Seanself363]

you must be the stupidest person on youtube ever. cunt.

[iaNaconeski]

Roubado

[Rogeriosantine]

Zizou is the bessssssssssssssssssttttttttt player in the world, in the 20th century, and the best of france.

[nightxhawk95]

i hope zidan burns in hell dam i hate that son of a bitch so much!

[jmbd07]

What a great comment... FUCKING DUMBASS

[yomama629]

This was the most beautiful game of all. I was little, but I remember it... for France it was the best year of the century

[rorrt]

Fantastic game, definetly my favorite final of a world cup, the 2006 was great also, 2002 was pretty boring as i remember it. but 3-0 what a wash out, France were amazing, Petit giving the Brazilians the Coup de grâce.

but it always looked like France vs Italy they would get ko'ed after the penalties. or playing croatia

[mckid15]

France where da world cup champions

[Benjamincomerjames]

Bouuuuu France, Go Brazil!

[Olando433]

My man

[warrior4jah211]

yup! BRazil 5! France 1 hahaha

[koolkurd82]

pele was great for his time

[vgerighty]

Hello egyptiansoccaplaya you are wrong here you cant compare the Algerian Zidane to the egyptian Zidane ,Zinedine was born and grew up in france he is considered as a french citizen that's why he was allowed to play in the national he wanted to play with Algeria unfotunatley he was refused by a stupid coach he loves Algeria cos it's the country of his parents he didn't deny his previous history and he loves France cos it's the land where he grew up it's was better for him to be a world Legend .

[badboyodee86]

@vgerighty that is a bit like the situation of ryan giggs if that nob head taylor didnt say giggs wouldnt have been good enough to play for england he would of done giving us that void on the left that we struggled with over the years. and wot ur saying is right if zidane did play for algeria he would have never got himself a wc winners medal

[egyptiansoccaplaya]

zidane is my uncle.. but not that zidane the zidane that plays in egypt but he beter than zidane france. he plays in germany but not the national germany team :)

[mcownalot]

fuck you zidane in egypt sucks

[Russiaf00tball]

he does no 1 is better than good 'ol Zizou!

ZIZOU ZIZOU!!

[r9nicole]

ne beat brasil then and in 2006

[MaverickAbruzzi]

Cant believe this is ten years ago now! I was 11 when France won this game, remember it like it was yesterday.

[thegameHHHDX]

zidane had hair?

[Angelah2528]

Tu est trop jeune.

[beatlesboy183]

zidane is best hands down.

[GoLdKiNgPiN]

No...No...No...Your Forgeting The One And Only " Football God Of Brasil " Pele !

[acmilan93333]

Zidane is the greatest player of hall time. Also, what he did to the Italian guy, AMEN! Italy sucks.

[GoLdKiNgPiN]

no Correction Pele is the gr8est

[rorrt]

was...the greatest...if your judging it by goals. or are you judging by money he made or world cups won. (dare i say it, but in my life time Thierry Henry for Arsenal, and France has been my favorite player ever)

[jayesh0007]

u idiot...before that he wud score agnst u and headbutt ur ugly face too..

[wweell635]

Couldn't stop headbutting that ball in the net could he?

8 years later he couldn't stop headbutting Italy!

[RajaFarhan82]

Zidane is the greatest no doubt

[GoLdKiNgPiN]

Coreection = Pele

[258manny]

@RajaFarhan82 no he's not ronaldinho and ronaldo are the best

[papatsoutsanos]

Djorkaeff,Lizarazu and Zidane were the best players of that french team.

[xxandxheartzxx]

zidane is a hero also in 2006!

[vstrangev]

Zizou you're the best!!

[ZIDANERAOARSHAD]

best ever player Zidane

[papatsoutsanos]

The final of Zidane.
