World cup 1998?
England lost the match during a penalty shoot-out
Because it was a tie, the game went to extra time and penalties. Argentina won the penalty shoot-out 4-3 after Roa saved two of England's penalty kicks, knocking England out of the World Cup.

Davor Šuker | Golden Shoe Award | 1998 FIFA World Cup France™
Here are the starting lineups for the World Cup final at the Stade de France: France -- Barthez, Thuram, Desailly, Leboeuf, Lizarazu, Karembeu, Deschamps, Zidane, Petit, Djorkaeff, Guivarc'h. Brazil -- Taffarel, Cafu, Aldair, Junior Baiano, Roberto Carlos, Dunga, Cesar Sampaio, Leonardo, Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Bebeto.
Ronaldo suffered a seizure and was pulled out of the starting line-up. He was then restored to the team at the last minute but failed to lead Brazil to victory, as they were hammered 3-0 by France in Paris.
WHAT HAPPENED? Beckham received a red card for kicking out at Diego Simeone, before England went out on penalties to Argentina in the last-16 of the competition. The then-Manchester United player received a huge backlash from the English media and fans for months and months off the back of his actions.
Cristiano Ronaldo has never won a FIFA World Cup.
The tournament was won by host country France, who beat defending champions Brazil 3–0 in the final. France won their first title, becoming the seventh nation to win a World Cup, and the sixth (after Uruguay, Italy, England, West Germany and Argentina) to win the World Cup on home soil.
Has David Beckham won a World Cup? No, this soccer star has never actually won a World Cup. However, his Manchester United bio notes that he is the only England player to have scored a goal in three different World Cups so, go David!
What was the official symbol of the 1998 World Cup?
The 1998 mascot was a rooster, one of the national symbols of France. It has the words "FRANCE 98" on its chest, with its body mostly blue, like the host's national team shirt.
The Golden Boot is primarily decided on total number of goals scored by an individual player at the tournament, but should there be any level-pegging at the summit come the close of play then the award is settled using tiebreaker criteria: first assists, then fewest minutes played.
Zinedine Zidane, (born June 23, 1972, Marseille, France), French football (soccer) player who led his country to victories in the 1998 World Cup and the 2000 European Championship. He later found success as a manager.
Rivaldo smashed home from 25 yards out after being set up by captain Dunga, and that was enough to seal Brazil's path through to yet another World Cup semi-final.
Striker Henry, who burst into the limelight at the 1998 World Cup with sparkling performances as a substitute, followed the final from the bench.
Ronaldo was left out of the starting lineup against the Swiss after Santos expressed frustration about his team captain's attitude in the previous game against South Korea. Santos later said Ronaldo was "not happy" to be told he was being benched, but never threatened to leave the World Cup because of the decision.
At the 1998 FIFA World Cup, Brazil participated for the 16th time in the event. The country remained as the only national team to have participated in every installment of the FIFA World Cup. Brazil reached the final where they were defeated 3–0 by France.
The final whistle left the forward heartbroken after failing to keep his dreams of one last crack at football's greatest prize alive. He will be 41 when the next World Cup comes around in 2026, meaning that was most likely his final opportunity to lift the trophy.
Zinedine Yazid Zidane was born on 23 June 1972 in La Castellane, Marseille, in Southern France. He is the youngest of five siblings. Zidane is of Algerian Kabyle descent and has described himself as a "non-practising Muslim".
Despite having a decorated career, Zidane announced his retirement in 2006 at the age of 34, with his last ever game being the infamous 2006 World Cup final. When talking about his retirement, Zidane cited his "poor form", saying "I didn't want to go on for another year.
When did Ronaldinho retire?
Danone is to be a worldwide sponsor of the 1998 World Cup football championship.
The US had qualified for the 1998 World Cup in France with ease. However, in December 1997 in Marseille, six months before the start of the tournament, soccer took a backseat when the US was drawn in the same group as Germany, Yugoslavia and, most significantly, a geopolitical rival, Iran.
Simple facts speak volume – throughout his career Beckham won a phenomenal 6 Premier League titles, 2 FA cups, 4 Community Shields, a Champions League title, 2 MLS Cups (USA), The Ligue title (France) and La Liga (Spain).
As incredible as it may sound, there is only one major competition that Messi has played in and not won since he turned professional almost two decades ago: the Coupe de France.
