Trivia
• A change in the rules came into effect at the 1998 World Cup, stating that as regulation time was about to expire in any period of play the fourth official would use a handheld electronic display to show how many minutes of stoppage time were to be played. This practice has continued since then, after being well received by media and spectators alike.
• An attempt to revive the ancient ballgame of La Soule to celebrate the Football World Cup (1998), fell through.
• The youngest player in the competition was Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o.
• Brazil's defeat to hosts France in the final is, as of 2006, their worst defeat in a World Cup - Brazil never lost another game in the competition by more than two goals.
