Intro

This was the first World Cup title for France, who joined Brazil and five others (Uruguay, Italy, Germany, England, and Argentina) to be world champion by winning all its matches.

The format of the competition changed from 1994: it was expanded from 24 (six groups of four teams) to 32 teams, divided into eight groups of four. Sixteen teams: eight group winners and eight second place finishers would qualify for the knockout competition.

Davor Šuker of surprise third-place finisher Croatia won the Golden Boot after scoring six goals.

Michael Owen made his World Cup debut in '98 by scoring one of his most amazing solo goals ever. Taking the ball from the halfway line, he dribbled past 3 Argentine defenders before slotting the ball past the goalkeeper.

This World Cup tournament was the first one for the countries of Croatia, Jamaica, Japan, and South Africa.
