France 98 was a brilliant tournament. France national team the best and won th cup. Especially Michael Owen's goal to Argentina was unforgettable. USA-Iran match was much more than a football match. Maldini, Batistuta, Laudrup , Bergamp, Ronaldo and of course Zinedine Zidane, a real legend.
AttackTheGasStation1 ahw men.... Holland had to win that cup! Best Dutch national squad sindce '74. I think they played better than France and Brasil! Damn penalty's :(
Domagoj Vuković Yeah i remember. Players weren't motivated anymore. No drive, they just wanted to go home. The tournament was over after the penalties against Brazil.
I was only 5 and this song would get stuck in my head over the years. Little did I know it was the anthem for World Cup '98!! And here I was all about Waka Waka. :D
That's how a World Cup theme song is suppose to be like! One of the best melodies humankind has ever produced... I get goosebumps every time I listen to this song. You French rascals nailed it in '98! Regards from Maine, USA!
***** What the fuck are you talking about? Are you on about the Olympics? You do know that American Football wasn't a sport at the Olympic Games? Also winning a lot of Gold Medals doesn't change the fact that your sports are shit. Why would it?
***** None of that really proves that your sports create better athletes. You said that American sports create better athletes yet you still don't have any solid proof for that claim. 1.As you know there were no American sports at the Olympic Games. So America winning the most Gold Medals doesn't prove that American sports create the most athletes since there were no American sports at the Olympic Games. 2.America does not have the most Athletes, Australia does (per pop). Australia has 410 athletes with a population of 22.7million which means that Australia has more athletes per person than America. In terms of sheer size China has the most Athletes. 3. I don't even know what that means. 4. Bullshit. Chinese athletes train like fucking crazy for the Olympics. Chinese athletes at the Olympics train harder than any in the world. Chinese athletes train incredibly hard and have an unrelenting appetite for hard work. 5. Well that's total bullshit. 32.26% of the English Football team is English. England have a very high number of foreign players. That last sentence made absolutely no sense whatsoever. So England have none of these achievements cause we are equally as obese as America? What? England isn't even as obese as America. If America is a very obese country then how come they won the most Olympic Gold medals? Also why would a country as obese as America not do well in athletics if America does well despite being an obese country? Overall you have made an extremely weak argument that is flawed and full of lies and nonsense. I'm surprised that someone even thumbed up your comment.
The fact that people always remember about that song when it comes to the World Cup means Carnival de Paris is simply the best tournament anthem ever written.
This song is easily one of the greatest football songs of all time, love club football but the international tournaments just have that unbelievable feeling about them and this just captures it perfectly.
Man this song is so nostalgic... when we were just a bunch of kids my friends and I used to play football from dawn to dusk all summer long... nothing really bothered us...
France 98 squad were unbeatable. Laurent Blanc, Bixente Lizarazu, Zidane, Christian Karembeu, Bernard Diomede, Ludovic, Lilian Thuram, Bernard Lama, Frank Leboeuf, Didier Deschamps, Christophe Dugarry, Sabri Lamouchi, Fabien Barthez.
I like the way this song mixes various national elements - I can hear there something from Mexico, Brasil, Russia, France and Scotland. And the melody itself is American.
Ismet Muradov Im a Fenerbahce fan and my childhood times Besiktas comes to the home of them with this song ım not have Good memories with this song but its so Good.
Hallo K5 Rules...vielen Dank für Deine Rückmeldung....war eine super Zeit..Fußball W M...Freundeskreis....Disco / Party....alles passte damals....Lgr. Thor. ...
I was 6 years old at this time. It´s the first football-event I remember. I was so happy my parents let me watch the final between france and brazil. It was also great, that Austria played in this tournament.. So great memories..
God I've been searching for this song for years..since it has no lyrics it has been hard and I knew it was on some fifa world cup but didn't know which year..and FINALLY I found it
This is hands down the best World Cup song to the best World Cup (in my opinion) I was born in 91 and this was the first World Cup I can remember watching and I loved it, and ever since then I've just always loved this World Cup and everything about it, and even though I was only young I think the times were better then as well 🙌🏻
Orduspor gol müziği öncelerden çok duyardım off 😢😢😢 şimdi o müzikler çalmıyor takım battı 13 yasimda olmama rağmen bir çok maçına gittim simdi amatör ligde ler hala gidiyorum maçların a ama eski günleri özlüyorum Bu yorumu şubat 2018 de yazıyorum ve inaniyorum ki orduspor eski günler e geri dönecek 😢😢😟 Güzel günler göreceğiz #Orduspor... Bu yorum burda kalsın
Zidane, the REAL Ronaldo, Vieri, Rivaldo, Denilson, Djorkaeff, Bergkamp, Kluivert, Suker, Thuram, those were the days of REAL footballers, MEN with balls of steel AND talent and charisma to spare
Is it weird that I get emotional when I listen to this song? I've fallen out of love with football in recent years due to the sickening amount of money and corruption involved. This World Cup was a magnificent tournament and yet to be affected by Blatter and co's greed, and this song is just pure nostalgia.
Or maybe it's just because I was a kid, so it all seemed amazing and corruption didn't exist in my mind yet. Either way this song is still pure nostalgia to me.
AFTER 2:41 I REMEMBER THE PASSION THAT THIS SONG GAVE TO ME FOR PLAYING FOOTBALL!!! I WAS A CHILD AND I WAS THINKING MYSELF IN THE PITCHES OF FRANCE'S 1998 FIFA WORLD CUP STADIUMS!
God forgive you mr @skytebas you bring me many many emotions and memories... pass for the fourth grade in school without forgetting ZIZOU&RONALDO FENOMENO :'(
The best FIFA Anthem ever..
I agree still the best after so many years.
I think WAKA WAKA (South Africa 2010) is the best Follow by this.
Ojie Olumese Nope.
Ojie Olumese I'd put wave your flag on 2nd, after the Carnival.
Ojie Olumese
No way! This is the best one. And i really love "Zeit, dass sich was dreht" ('Celebrate the day' in english) from Herbert Grönemeyer
best world cup song ever
Agree
fata muijna
Absolutely!
fata muijna taccitua quanto si brutta a rospo
+bladdolo8444 in english please,

France 98 was a brilliant tournament. France national team the best and won th cup. Especially Michael Owen's goal to Argentina was unforgettable. USA-Iran match was much more than a football match. Maldini, Batistuta, Laudrup , Bergamp, Ronaldo and of course Zinedine Zidane, a real legend.
And great music !!!
Great teams, great crowds, great stadiums, sunny weather......
France98, THE world cup !
AttackTheGasStation1 ahw men.... Holland had to win that cup! Best Dutch national squad sindce '74. I think they played better than France and Brasil! Damn penalty's :(
Toko Andromeda you lost to croatia baby
Domagoj Vuković Yeah i remember. Players weren't motivated anymore. No drive, they just wanted to go home. The tournament was over after the penalties against Brazil.
i was only 7 at the time, but i remember this song :D
I was only 8 months old but I still remember this song
I was still not born but I still remember this song :D
I was only 5 and this song would get stuck in my head over the years. Little did I know it was the anthem for World Cup '98!! And here I was all about Waka Waka. :D
I was only 5 too, and I still managed to hear the hell out of it. Ahhh, good old times (I think they were good, I remember only glimpses).
my favorite world cup 4 ever
This Music should be Fifa anthem
Ikr
Live Young Live Free it is World Cup song
Corey Fraser no it know if you don't like why did you watch it then?
That's how a World Cup theme song is suppose to be like! One of the best melodies humankind has ever produced... I get goosebumps every time I listen to this song. You French rascals nailed it in '98! Regards from Maine, USA!
I was only 6 when this was made wow! Brings back some memories! Just when you thought 90s tunes couldn't get any better those where the days...
Man i was 7. It was the first time i got into football. I got hooked to Holland from day one.
Kindy_91 and look at Holland nowadays... How times change...
My favourite World Cup song.
***** Sometimes I watch *FOOTBALL*

The fact that people always remember about that song when it comes to the World Cup means Carnival de Paris is simply the best tournament anthem ever written.
My first world cup. I was 8 years old, but still remember it. Adorable memories. Go go go ole ole oliieeh
This song is easily one of the greatest football songs of all time, love club football but the international tournaments just have that unbelievable feeling about them and this just captures it perfectly.
International tournaments bring the world together to share in the love of the beautiful game. Nothing hits that like this song
Best. World. Cup. Song. Ever.
Best. FOOTBALL. Song. Ever!
Best. SPORTS. Song. Ever.
Aż zapomina się o problemach życia słuchając tą piosenkę, świetna, mógłbym słuchać na okrągło
This was my favorite world cup.
me too
Hard to believe this was 16 years ago... I was a 7th grade kid back then.
I feel old... I was 7 when this came out.. best song ever made for WC , and also better than the Euro songs.
I was born 1 year after this came out
I was 15 😭
Me too i was 7 ;)
I was also 7. I remember coming home from school and seeing Scholes score against Tunisia.
Michael Owen screamer against Argentina
Stirs the soul does this even 16 years on!!
I wasn't even born when this song/World Cup came out and I still love this song!
The best part of this song starts at 2:45! Absolutely the best FIFA Anthem ever. c:
🔥⚡️
awesome song....really touching
What are u doing here bro
Abednego David
maybe i finally found some intrest in football
You can't sit still when you're listening to this. God tier.
Man this song is so nostalgic... when we were just a bunch of kids my friends and I used to play football from dawn to dusk all summer long... nothing really bothered us...
Simply one of the best World Cup Songs Ever without Vocal Part!
France 98 squad were unbeatable.
Laurent Blanc, Bixente Lizarazu, Zidane, Christian Karembeu, Bernard Diomede, Ludovic, Lilian Thuram, Bernard Lama, Frank Leboeuf, Didier Deschamps, Christophe Dugarry, Sabri Lamouchi, Fabien Barthez.
feduo45465 David Trezeguet,Emmanulle Petit,Thierry Henry,Youry Djorkaeff
zidane then retired and it all fell apart
+feduo45465 Most of the French team were born in Africa. Wasn't exactly a "French national team"
+LopedogCSGO useless comment
+LopedogCSGO That's false. Only Desaillly and Vieira were born in Africa, but they grew up in France.
Can't believe it's nearly 20 years old and you still hear it around the footballing world sometimes
ill never forget this song it was the first world cup that i watch best world cup ever i was crying when the final match ends gd memories nice days
It is the best music from all World cup championships!
Hopefully France can make a song of this caliber for the Euro 2016
I doubt so :/
lets just be hopeful i know its tough to make a song of this caliber buts its not impossible
I also hope so because the last WC/EC Songs were all shit
+Merzon Shupo Or re release this one ;)
I was 6 and still remember almost the whole tournament... and this song of course... the best world cup song ever!!!
this song gets me so pumped
I like the way this song mixes various national elements - I can hear there something from Mexico, Brasil, Russia, France and Scotland. And the melody itself is American.
and arabic too..
where are the NORTH american elements?
Italian too,there should be a mandolin inside all of those wonderful songs,this is truly a master piece!!!! I love it
Nader El Sayed The American part is the horns section "Oh my Darling Clementine" rif
subkontrabasklarinet also the Chinese/Japanese bit.
Suker, Ronaldo, Zidane, Bergkamp, Mattheus, Raul, Hagi, Del Piero.
laudrup brothers, Schmeichel
+Tim Bennedsen 👍
Even though Türkiye couldnt take part, world cup 98 is my favourite world cup ever
bekir tuna gürdamar Šuker is piece of shit. HNS=MAFIA
Laudrup and Schmeichel . Wonderful players
