The four-time champion team would see the title slip through their hands in the face of an impeccable performance by the star player Zidane.<\/p>\n<h2 align=\"left\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1998_Cup_had_32_participating_teams\"><\/span>1998 Cup had 32 participating teams<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p align=\"left\">Hosting for the second time, France hosted the 1998 World Cup with 10 stadiums in different cities. It would be the first time that the World Cup would have 32 participating teams. Among all the world champions, only Uruguay failed to qualify.<\/p>\n<h2 align=\"left\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Croatia_opens_with_surprising_performance\"><\/span>Croatia opens with surprising performance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p align=\"left\">Croatia had a great campaign in its first participation in World Cups. They managed to beat Germany and the Netherlands, beat the Romanian team and were only stopped by France. Even so, they finished in third place in the 98 World Cup.<\/p>\n<h2 align=\"left\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brazilian_National_Team_in_the_1998_World_Cup\"><\/span>Brazilian National Team in the 1998 World Cup<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p align=\"left\">Four-time champion in the 94 World Cup, the Brazilian team had Rom\u00e1rio cut out days before the start of the 1998 World Cup due to a calf injury. Thus, the players coached by Mario Jorge Lobo Zagallo started a fight for a spot in the team&#8217;s attack.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Brazil&#8217;s debut was not convincing, even though they beat Scotland 2-1. Rivaldo, Ronaldo and Bebeto guaranteed the three Brazilian goals in the victory over the Moroccan team. But coming into the match against Norway, the 2-1 defeat would shake the team&#8217;s unity, which began to exchange criticisms publicly.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">In the semifinal, Taffarel shone again as he saved two penalty kicks for the Dutch team. With this, Brazil advanced to the final.<\/p>\n<h2 align=\"left\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_of_World_Cup_98\"><\/span>Final of World Cup 98<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p align=\"left\">The 1998 World Cup final had one of the most mysterious episodes involving the Brazilian team. Hours before the start of the title match against France, Ronaldo suffered a convulsion, but was cleared by doctors to play.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The press, however, reported that Ronaldo had pain in his ankle. Later, they informed that it had been a nervous breakdown, that he had &#8220;turned yellow&#8221;. In the end, this story was never very well understood.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">But it is likely that this episode with Ronaldo affected the players&#8217; concentration. Even with Edmundo ready to act in place of the striker, Ronaldo decided to enter. However, his behavior was strange and his game was apathetic. Thus, everything went wrong for the Brazilian team.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"O que houve com Ronaldo?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zq8rb4pLqus?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2 align=\"left\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zidane_leads_France_to_the_title\"><\/span>Zidane leads France to the title<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p align=\"left\">France, with their star player <span lang=\"zxx\"><a href=\"http:\/\/terceirotempo.bol.uol.com.br\/que-fim-levou\/zinedine-zidane-4228\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zinedine Zidane<\/a><\/span> in their team, had a campaign of ups and downs all the way to the final. However, the team was focused and played high quality <span lang=\"pt-BR\">football<\/span>. The French team beat Brazil 3-0 in a relatively easy game, since Ronaldo did not shine. Two goals were scored by Zidane, who was elected the best player of the tournament by the critics.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">France won their first World Cup title in 1998. The French also ended their participation in the World Cup with the best attack and the best defense of the &#8217;98 World Cup &#8211; a historic achievement accomplished at home.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"World_Cup_Series\"><\/span>World Cup Series:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dicaseducacaofisica.info\/en\/curiosities-of-the-1950-world-cup\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">16 Curiosities of the World Cup<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Episode 01:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dicaseducacaofisica.info\/en\/first-world-cup-1930\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">World Cup of 30<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Episode 02:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dicaseducacaofisica.info\/en\/1934-word-cup\/\">World Cup of 34<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li>Episode 03:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dicaseducacaofisica.info\/en\/1938-word-cup\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">World Cup of 38<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Episode 04:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dicaseducacaofisica.info\/en\/1954-world-cup\/\">World Cup of 54<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li>Episode 05:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dicaseducacaofisica.info\/en\/1958-world-cup\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">World Cup of 58<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Episode 06:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dicaseducacaofisica.info\/en\/1962-world-cup\/\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">World Cup of 62<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Episode 07:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dicaseducacaofisica.info\/en\/1970-fifa-world-cup\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">World Cup of 70<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Episode 08:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dicaseducacaofisica.info\/en\/1974-fifa-world-cup\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">World Cup of 74<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Episode 09:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dicaseducacaofisica.info\/en\/1978-fifa-world-cup\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">World Cup of 78<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Episode 10:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dicaseducacaofisica.info\/en\/1982-fifa-world-cup\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">World Cup of 82<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Episode 11:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dicaseducacaofisica.info\/en\/1986-world-cup\/\">World Cup of 86<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li>Episode 12:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dicaseducacaofisica.info\/en\/1990-world-cup\/\">World Cup of 90<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li>Episode 13: <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dicaseducacaofisica.info\/en\/1994-fifa-world-cup\/\">World Cup of 94<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 align=\"left\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BIBLIOGRAPHIC_REFERENCES\"><\/span>BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCES<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dicaseducacaofisica.info\/en\/1982-fifa-world-cup\/#\">search\u00a0FIFA<\/a>. 1962\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dicaseducacaofisica.info\/en\/1982-fifa-world-cup\/#\">search\u00a0FIFA<\/a>\u00a0World Cup Chile.
