Ah france 98. The best world cup. And quite possibly the best time to be alive. The world has well and truly gone to the dogs since then.

94 and 98 the two best WC I watched since 1990, but I get your other point regarding the world, particularly for those who lived in Western Europe prosperity seemed something that wouldn't stop at all.

YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND! I've been looking for this constantly for the past ten years. I had this on VHS but lost it during a house move and I've been desperate to find it. Genuinely made my day - wonderful World Cup and a great review of it. As good as I remembered. Thank you 🙂

The BBC's half-way montages were absolutely iconic and underrated! They really encapsulated the anxiety, joy and despair of the group stages! Spain being knocked out early doors was a huge shock! Cameroon, Belgium, and Morocco lost out right at the very last minute! Hernandez's late goal absolutely crushed Belgium. Criminally underrated tournament I have to say!

France 98 is the best WC that I've seen in my lifetime and I vaguely remember 1986. 1990 WC was my first real memory and it was nowhere as good as France 98. There were a lot of good games and classic matches that have stood the test of time now that they are watchable for the younger generation.

When this was shown in December 1998, Des Lynam was becoming disillusioned with the BBC. They had no FA Cup or England rights and would only show two live games in the 98/99 season. By the following summer, he was off to ITV and a final payday before he finished in 2004. They had FA Cup, England and Champions League rights etc. Only issue was that he never suited ITV! Things like this showed he was a BBC man and that style didn’t/doesn’t work on ITV. Adrian Chiles had the same issues years later as well!

Interesting how do you define what makes someone a BBC person and an ITV person?
@81chipper895 ай бұрын
I think you're right, even though it's hard to define exactly who someone is BBC or ITV. Maybe it's just because we were so used to seeing him on the BBC that anything else was bound to seem strange. He definitely wasn't the same when he did move.
