The World Cup in France in the summer of 1998 was the most impressive in history, so I put it first in this series of original articles. To say that this competition impressed me, the first thing to talk about is the mascot Fortix, and then to see how cute this rooster is.
The image of Fortix is vivid and cute
The historical origins of the Gallic rooster in France can be traced back to the ancient Roman period, and its significance represents bravery, and the successful victory of the French team in the country has further increased the love for it.
Remember Fortix, who was standing on the streets when he was watching the ball? As if to remind you to hurry home to watch the ball, this is a full memory.
The world football scene in 1998 is completely different from today, and the competition of flowers is the main theme of that era, Zidane, Beckham, Figo, Da Luo, Rivaldo, Batistuta, Baggio and a series of other famous names are difficult to list here, almost every participating team has its own big stars. There can be multiple reasons for supporting anyone, and it is even more difficult to say which team has absolute certainty that it will easily win the game. In addition, this is also the first time that the army has been expanded to 32 teams, which can be said to be sensational.

Even people who never watched the ball were "forced" to receive the latest world cup status every day, knowing that the network at that time was far less developed than it is today! The next day's sports weekly newspaper and football newspaper, these print media must be sold out, and the sports pages of other newspapers around the world are also the choice of fans to rush to read.
In the quarter-finals of England 2:2 Argentina, the 18-year-old Owen became famous, and fans around the world remembered England's No. 20 player, and everyone named him chasing the wind last year. I remember the BBC commentator shouting directly at the time: "Owen told the world, with speed you will do whatever you want in the race!" ”
Does this shot evoke your memories?
Before that, although Irving had already gained a foothold at Liverpool and won the 1997/98 Premier League Golden Boot, the most famous of the Three Lions was Beckham.
The role of the million fans is not only on the field, it is because of his handsome face that countless female fans have been attracted to the scene. The scene where XiaoBei was punished by the old hot latter in the friction with Simone also made us remember deeply, and the dissatisfaction with Simone quickly occupied the headlines the next day.
Just this small action made Xiaobei a "sinner" in England.
Remember Croatian star Davao. Sukh? The superstar who plays the violin on his left foot was the one who eliminated Germany with his goal. Suque won the World Cup Golden Boot with 6 goals in 7 games, which overshadowed the Brazilian star Ronaldo at the peak of the time. This croatian team is also known as the 98 golden generation, a third-place title that everyone never expected. Although Croatia is also very good today, it seems to be slightly deficient compared to that one, and watching this team at that time was as fascinating as watching Croatian rhapsody.

The final final was produced between France and Brazil, with the Gallic Rooster neatly leaving the championship trophy directly in France 3:0. Zidane also became a master in the hearts of the public and was even put on the hat of the king of the ball, while the alien Ronaldo was constantly questioned due to sleepwalking throughout the game.
