La Coupe de la Gloire: 1998 France World Cup Official Film

Monday Night Futbol | La Coupe de la Gloire: 1998 France World Cup Official Film

Join us on Monday, March 2nd at L’Alliance Française de Houston for a special edition of Monday Night Futbol as we relive one of the most iconic tournaments in football history — the 1998 FIFA World Cup.

Relive the action from a 1998 FIFA World Cup as unpredictable as it was intoxicating. It was decorated by wonder goals from Sunday Oliseh, Michael Owen and Dennis Bergkamp, the prolificacy of Gabriel Batistuta, Marcelo Salas, Davor Suker and Christian Vieri, dramatic penalty shootouts and a Croatian fairy tale. The tournament’s script was seemingly written for Brazilian phenomenon Ronaldo, but although he flickered his incomparable genius, it ultimately belonged to a Frenchman who finished the group stage a villain. Narrated by Sean Bean.

🎁 Special Giveaway: A limited-edition sticker will be gifted to the first 25 guests to arrive.
