Comments

France 1998 was the first World Cup with 32 National Teams.

The French team had been one of the top soccer teams for years but it was in 1998 when France finally got its first World Championship.

The final match was against the rival nobody wanted, Brazil, the defending champion. But led by their star Zinedine Zidane, France had no problems and defeated the South Americans 3-0.
