Who won the World Cup in 1998?

Ah, quite so sir, that was a most memorable tournament. France emerged as the victors of the 1998 FIFA World Cup, triumphing over Brazil in a thrilling final played at the Stade de France in Paris. It was particularly notable as it marked the first time the World Cup was hosted by a European nation, and also saw the rise of Zinedine Zidane to global stardom. The tournament is often remembered for its dramatic moments, from the 'Zidane volley' in the final to the passionate performances of teams like Italy and Argentina. A truly splendid chapter in football history, sir.
