All World Cup Finals from 1998

In reality, it's a bluff, or rather, where we somewhat looked for a small... minimize the French team. I don't think so, because Aimé Jacquet and his players are used to this kind of thing. They preferred to wait and see how it turned out in the end. Defender is in the pack, Zidane in the package. The balloon! With Youri Djorkaeff's header. Leonardo It's well struck, it's very well struck. He's great in front. And he is well stopped by Fabien Barthez, fortunately. The youngster to strike the first corner for the French team. Reentrant corner, he is well struck at the first post. But it was only 2 minutes and 2 minutes. Zidane! Zidane heads the first French corner kick. Zidane! And out goes Barthez. There was probably some trouble. There was trouble between Ronaldo and Fabien Barthez. Yes. We must take these balloons out. Ronaldo is on the ground. Yes. Fabien Barthez Small. Yes indeed! There was Emmanuel Petit's right. They looked. Reprise with Carambeu. And lacking Deschamps, I believe there will be one. He will be suspended for the next match. Yes, very well taken. Offside, sir referee. There are 3 offside positions. There were three of them. It might have been a bit too chaotic. The throw-ins taken by Luiz Arrasou. It seems to me. Regarding stoppage time, there will be exactly 2 minutes. Stéphane Guivarch for the 2-0. You must put it at the bottom. One must not mock this opportunity. Stéphane Guivarch, that's not possible. Yes, that's true. And there, something good is needed for the bulletin board. Oh yes! Yes, 2-0 with Zinedine Zidane. Still in the mind, we told you, it could come. 2 to 0 at halftime. Anxiety. Carlos won't pull off that trick again in the match. Attention. Fabien Barthez extraordinary. Fabien Barthez, magnificent in front of Ronaldo. After 10 minutes in the second period. Reinforce, but above all hold firm. Fabien Barthez who has gone far. There is a small mistake. No. It's saved by Dessailly on his line. Perhaps a bit overly optimistic, Fabien Barthez on his exit. Marcel Dessailly, who will not pass. He will receive a yellow card. It will be the red card next. Oh, that's tough. But he already had a yellow card. Yes indeed. Expulsion for Marcel Dessailly. Oh, how raw. Christophe Dugarry is not playing. Come on, Christophe Dugarry, he's not in the game. He may have the 3-0 advantage in his pocket. No. Oh, he's not quite up to speed, Christophe Dugarry. He was unable to strike as he had wanted to. I even have the impression that he hurt himself. Ah, ah, ah. I think he hurt himself. No, he struck the ground. No mistake, Didier. We need to go get that cup in a few moments. The strike. Oh là, bounce off him. It was Nilsson's transverse that he touched with the transverse. To the left, to the left. Small. And so. A third goal. And Emmanuel Petit scores one minute later. Delirium at the Stade de France. 48th minute. Emmanuel Petit, who had started from his 16-meter mark. The French team is world champion. You actually believe that? The French team is world champion by defeating Brazil. 3-0 Yes! The French women's team. Europe versus South America. It's Germany versus Brazil. The Germans are undoubtedly their most influential players. Midfielder Michael Bauer. So far, Brazil has won the World Cup four times, Germany three times. Now, Clemerson is taking advantage of Germany's pace. There are two of them waiting in the penalty area. There is the cross for Schneider. A courageous move by Marcos. It is the Internationale. It's Ronaldinho for Ronaldo. What an opportunity. Number 9 of Brazil. 9. Brazil is back. Ronaldo Ronaldinho Back to Ronaldo. He is there. Oliver Kahn does the same thing. A huge opportunity for Brazil. Once again, launched by Ronaldinho. Cafu is looking for Clemerson. Statuesque for the Germans. Clemerson, like Ronaldo with the previous chances. Unable to reach the goal. Ronaldinho encore. It's better. And a shot for Clemerson. And he touched the cross. What a damn road this is here. And one for Neuville. He touched the post. Incredible free kick. Inside Roberto Carlos. Saved by Kahn. One of these teams takes the World Cup with them tonight. Problem for Jeremis. He twists his fingers to suggest that it needs to be changed. Hamann. Ronaldo With tenacity, he attacks it again. It's Rivaldo. He was hit by Kahn. And following that, Ronaldo met the Brazil goal in the final of the World Cup. Hamann. The first touch was good. He was unable to keep the shot under control. Deepneur Hamann Brazil is certainly not sitting idle. He defends. Rivaldo He takes it off for Ronaldo. It could be anything. Two goals for Brazil. It's a hackdown by Asamoah. And that's all. That's all. Once again. Brazil is the world champion. Marcos carried out the rescues to contribute. Oliver Kahn, after a wonderful tournament, has not... Vieira is at level 4. Vieira, good. Zidane plays this one. Too long. Zambrotta Once again. He was one of the men selected for the World Cup. The All-Stars team. A man who is late. Lalluda tries to go inside. He touches it in front. A man descends inside the box. There may be a penalty. A quick blow. Buffon is very good at that. Zidane. Chipson. On the rising slope. He went straight down. And this is the balanced one here. He is moving away. It's not a bad ball. He sends it. Carrazzi The strikes level the score at 1-1. He will save him. Pirlo again with the remover in the blender. The growing bar. Leibniz Look at Tony—almost made it. 2-1 Italy. Tied 1-1. No substitutions for either side. Ony is sprawling. A nice pass to Henry. Still fighting his way through. Backs into a man. Gets free. Great job here. And it has been cleared away by Italy. But Thierry Henry putting on a dribbling show inside the box. That one's going to sneak into the goal. A quick strike here. But they're offside. The offside flag is up. I went alongside that wall. Here's Pirlo. Directing that kick into the post. Diving effort there by Barthez. And it's just wide. Well, we talked about Henry there and stayed in the game. Although it seemed as though he was emerging. Rivaree gets it back. Top of the box. Rivaree shoots just wide of the post. By Frank Rivaree. Wide to Sagnol. Has time to set it up. He swings it in. The header. Oh, the save by Colton. And it went. Let's take a look here. Oh. Madarazzi It's crushed by Zidane. And once again, away from the action. So Elizondo never saw that. And the referee pulls him along. Ready from 12 yards. Here he comes. The first one is good. Pirlo Cashes in. We're tied at one. Sports. 2006 Ahead of the moment they've longed for across a generation. He kisses the trophy and raises it toward the Berlin sky. Howard Webb He will be 39 in three days' time. He is making history. First referee to officiate. From Xavi. Goal scored with a step on the bird. Get lost. And he went down to block a second time. Clearance completed by Coutts. Busquets has missed it. It's to the couch. And it was merely a speculative attempt. May have been distracted by... Got past Coutts. Sergio Ramos And it's somehow turned over the top by Heitinger. It looked as though he could have so easily put that into his... It's delivered promptly. Well, it was shot in space by Sneijder. He went for it. Yeah, lucky for Casillas. Sneijder did their best to overwhelm him. Alonso has been caught. And very heavily indeed. And that has everyone on the Spanish bench on their feet. Big decision here. The yellow's out. Yeah, it's another yellow. Nigel de Jong Here's Pedro. Going for the goal but pulling it wide. Positive burst from Spain. Yeah, I'll tell you what as well. Steckenberg in goal. Van Persie Now Robben. And it had to be saved by Casillas. Yeah, Spain are in pain. They're offside. Trying to wrap it around the wall. Xavi looks as if he's at the head of the cube. Xavi goes for it. And he wasn't far away. But I think Steckenberg knew where it was headed. Played through. Paul Robben This is the chance. Arjen Robben is in. And Arjen Robben has been denied by Casillas. Great miss. Running at Van Bronckhorst. Firing it across. It's David Villa. What a mess. Incredibly, Spain haven't gone ahead. Ah, this is an unbelievable stop. Iniesta Fabregas Down to earth. There might still be a chance for Spain. They are appealing for a penalty. But Howard Webb has only given them a corner. Yeah, I think it was in. Just about one of the players about to shoot. He's just seen his strike. To Jesus Navas. Fabregas has darted into the middle. Oh, Jesus Navas. It was saved by Steckenberg. For just a moment, I thought he'd have gone through. I think everyone over here. Played through for Iniesta. Who wants him back? Heitinger Well, he has to go. Absolutely. No doubt. Second yellow card. John Heitinger is sent off. The fifth player. Broken for Fabregas. Now it's Iniesta. This is it. Fabregas, he takes his pass out. The Spanish are now waving frantically for full time. They have won the World Cup. Spain The Dutch will protest. The first meeting between Argentina and Germany. The third in a World Cup final. They need little introduction. Argentina does have the superior record. But remember Germany. Oh, that's a terrible backhitter. Into the path of Higuaín. Who should have opened the scoring in the World Cup final? Gift And one that is squandered. Lavezzi Higuaín Flags up. He doesn't know it yet. Immediate form. Andrea Stefani And it's driven toward Romero. Romero made a crucial save from Schürrle. André Schürrle has only been with us for a matter of moments. Here's Messi. Away from Hummels. Lionel Messi Boateng scrambled away from the line. Ozil And a shot. Eventually. Drove through here for Lionel Messi. The flag has remained down. And Messi. Has rolled it past the far post. Higuaín has seen the goalkeeper come. And Neuer caught the ball right on the edge of the penalty area. He also met Higuaín. And the official has ruled in Neuer's favor. Pérez with a miscue that went straight to Messi. Lionel Messi Well, he got his shot away. In the way he does. Ozil floating. Behind Schürrle. Close. Well, this may be the moment we say farewell to Miroslav Klose in World Cup terms. Truly a legend of this tournament. Gray. Red. Palace The answer is no again. Aimed at Kurt Saar. In 12 minutes. President A whistle is used only for a free kick. This is additional time on top of additional time. They are the champions of the world. Once more this irrepressible. And Germany are the champions of the world. Come on, come on, come on. Never to win a World Cup. Sometimes those kinds of numbers are overrated. Otherwise we would be talking about China, India, and the United States. as the leading teams in world football. The man is down now. Everyone back for Croatia. You can see their whole team in that picture. Griezmann He swings it in. In the opening goal. Header up in the air. Mandžukić trying to get something on it. Bounces down. Touch it lightly. Perišić played for 12 minutes in the game. Perišić What a goal here in Moscow. That's one Griezmann. In Swinger. Dangerous deflection there. Perišić They're calling for a handball, France. It has been awarded as a goal kick. I want to look at it one more time. Yeah. Kennedy In their histories. Rakitic got it. Knocked away. Played it back in. Ravich is now from an angle. Tipped over. Hugo Lloris No saves from either goalkeeper in the first half. Too quickly in the second. Running away from Rakitic. Playing in the space left by Kylian Mbappé. Double gofina. Won't be able to stop him that way. Have to be careful. Saved. Griezmann then lost his balance. Now the cross. Griezmann Can he pick it up? It's back to goal. What about Pogba cutting through traffic? Second chance for Pogba! His pass for Mbappé. Setting it in. Mbappé trying to get there. Giroud to the far side. Griezmann is waiting for him. Brazović broke it up out for a corner. When they had a counter on and there were people around on the field to stop it. In for Kylian Mbappé now. Mbappé! Reaching this final. Whistle. France. Which one will be written? If you get to walk this path. And again from Messi. He tried the little lift in on Alvarez. He was offside. But he made Hugo Lloris. When he comes to get it, he won't be able to find a way through. But it's been aided by the referee's whistle. It started with some really good defending. Right into that spot. Over the top of Everyone came for Olivier Giroud. With a little too much... It's back to goal. Di María Lovely swivel of the hips. And down goes Di María. Penalty Argentina. Giroud gets it through. And there's McAllister looking at Dimaria. Created by Didier Deschamps. Before halftime. Dembele is off. And Giroud is going too. Giroud, who had been troubled by a knee issue that caused him to miss some time And then a Di María finish. After an Argentina. It's the pinnacle of life. We can't do worse. Anyway, we can't do worse. That's what we did. We go back onto the pitch. We don't let them play. We don't give up. We added a bit of intensity. We enter the duels. And we're already doing something else. It's the World Cup final. They scored two goals. We set two goals. We can come back. Come on. Vantage is signaled. There's Alvarez. And Lloris felt he had to dive to that post. He wasn't sure. Alvarez plays it in. Lloris gets there with a tackle. Calisto, plus whatever is added. Mbappé Mbappé with the snapshot. Just a little too much of a head start. But he has now been beaten by Thuram. And Thuram is down. And that will be a penalty. And Mbappé to get the game back on. France is now. It's a win. In just one minute, Mbappé receives the pass back! Just outside, but the advantage is ours! Ravio, pulled! Martinez couldn't hold it back, but he has it now! Oh, it's free. De Paul passed the ball. Here comes Messi! Hugo Lloris, eyes like a wolf. Oh, what a moment! Messi finds McAllister. And Messi finds Martinez now. What a block! Keep up with Montiel! And once again, Varane on the move. There's Messi. Messi wants it again. Lloris in the lane! Is it off the line or on the line? The injunction examiner looked at the ball. The referee pointed to the center and said, "Goal!" There's Mbappé. He has been entrusted. And the injunction stated This is certainly not the right moment to fire. Instinct takes over. There is Canate. There is still a block in front. Goal! Number 1 is in the net! Martinez with the save! The squad that kept Argentina's chance of global glory alive. There is so much trust. As he should be. Mbappé will go first for France. And Mbappé will score the goal for France. 3-1. He remained in mind. It's never the case with Lionel Messi. And he sends it. Kingsley Coman is on the verge of joining France. Saved by Martinez! Diouamane truly scored the goal.
