    After independence from Yugoslavia, this was our first World Cup, and we managed to reach the semifinals and later get the 3rd place. What a fantastic Croatian generation that was: Šuker, Stanić, Prosinečki, Asanović, Boban..... And Šuker won the golden boot. I hope my Croatia will continue to play great football in Qatar and to reach as further as possible. ✌️✌️🇭🇷🇭🇷
  • Thuram scored the only 2 goals he ever scored for France on this night. What an experience and what a player. Remarkable and memorable to say the least...
  • Thuram was sublime, both defensively and poaching 2 absolute stunners
  • @sammm5699
    Nice pass from Asanovic Croatia Golden Generation❤️

    It has been more then 24 years since this match. I was ten years old, and I still, to this day, cannot bring myself to watch it beyond Suker's goal. It's traumatic beyond belief. World Cup Russia 2018 was a godlike year for Croatian football, but the 98' tournament (and that generation) was what dreams are made of.
  • Lovely brings back so many memories. I watched all these matches live. Most people think Zidane did nothing in WC1998 besides the 2 headers : watch this and the previous round against Italy which had Maldini Bergomi Cannavaro Pesotto Albertini in defence. Zidane was the midfield maestro throughout WC98 he and R9 were a cut above.

    Amazing for a country (Croatia) that came into existence in 1991. In 2023, I'm watching this match just to see the legendary Algerian, Zandane. Thank you FIFA for uploading for all of us to view.
  • @SabaSoul
    Please FIFATV play some more croatia matches from the 1998 World Cup .... I really loved this team as a kid.... brought me back so many memories ...
  • @szewei85
    Haha i still remember this game. Suker is the legend.
  • @nhdaniele
    I remember this match, best start ever in a second half. I think that Lilian Thuram for the second gol could be proclaimed as a national hero in France... isn't he?
  • @davidlean1060
    You have to love Zidane! He looks more like an inter county hurler in his 30's than a footballer...but wow, what a beautiful player he was!
  • @outlawboy88
    Still hurts! But anyway congratulate from a big Football Nation Croatia, to a other big Football Nation France. 🤝
  • @Mohamedali8690
    We want more matches from world Cup98, there were masterpieces matches back then, and this tournament was the best @FIFA
  • @cdad81
    Thuram´s second goal celebration is one of my favorites ever. Such elegance only could come from a French fellow.
  • @bonnolog
    I was a kid in Peru watching France 98, I still remember Davor Suker to this day.
