What do you mean?

French team were made of stars.

Was Lizarazu not a big star?

Deschamps had already won the champions league to the best of my knowledge.

Emmanuel Petit was already huge at Arsenal.

How could you make the French team then without being established.

You can say you did not know them but I knew them well.

Even the Monaco boys like Henry and Trezeguet were well established.

They did not need Zidane to excel. That was how good they were. They could drop the likes of Cantona and Ginola. Leave out Karembu and a host of big names from the starting line up and do well.

By the Euros, Zidane was playing with big names too.
Sir,the same France failed to qualify for 1990 and 1994 WC and came back as host in 1998.Nobody’ gave them the chance despite being host.French team without Zidane wouldn’t have won France 98 WC

Lol. Those goals were two headers from corner kicks. The flicks and control did not help him achieve that.
But those flicks and control led to corners abi

Please, France were one of the favorites. France had already made the Euros semi final in 1996, two years before that and had a mean squad.

Michel Platini who was local organizing committee chairman already predicted France will win it due to their preparation. It was even televised on one of Nta National shows in preparation.

Zidane was not even the best player for France in that world cup. Left to Zidane, they would have gone home.

Ronaldo De Lima even played better than him in that game.

Which stat are 'we all running from?' that KDB for all his ability hasn't won anything significant in international and continental club football.

Most of Kevin's stats as impressive as they have been were achieved in domestic competition. However when he gets to higher level football like World Cups, Euros and UCL De Bruyne has just been shown to be one amongst many good players not bosses like Zidane, Messi, Maradona, CR7, Ronaldo de Lima and Pele.

Stats gives you a better view of the overall impact. That is why you all want to run away from the stats.

the team was decent but the least expected to even make it to the semis let alone winning the competition

Stop been sentimental and face fact. All these na still to justify that de bruyne is better than zizou 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Prior to the World Cup 1998 French player that is world class was only Cantona. Dechamp was average at best at juve, it took zizou almost 2 seasons to start doing well at juve while desailly was just ok at Milan

If u like write thesis but all I started above is nothing but the truth

leave am mk em Dey cap

The only competition that zizou didn’t perform was at 2002 World Cup due to injury

From 1998 World Cup to euro 2000,2004 and his last outting for Le Blues in 2006 World Cup he was unplayable and single handedly carried the team on he’s back when necessary

That’s stuff that makes a legend. De bruyne is an exceptional player who I admire a lot but should never be compared to zizou. He should be compared with the likes of lampard,Fernandez, sneijder and few others not zizou

Zidane got it because he scored two headers from corners but can't compare him to Ronaldo in that match. Ronaldo was insane.

Zidane had a red card in the first match. Was suspended in the next. The coach dropped him from the third.

So how can he miss all these games and still be the best. Lizarazu, Desailly, Djorkaeff, Petit all had better performances for France as a whole than Zidane.

I knew about the convulsion and collapse before the game. But his dynamism still was evident. That was why that clash with Barthez happened. If Ronaldo was anonymous, how did that happen?
