As someone who has epilepsy, if I had to play the most important football match of my career just 2 hours before kick off, and then I had a seizure, I would have volunteered to be left out of the starting 11, or the team advisors would go around a way to get me on the bench, just to give me enough time to recover. The mistake was putting Ronaldo back on the starting 11 rather than allowing him time to prepare. Having seizures at least twice a month is something I find unbearable to deal with, because it prevents me from going abroad without documentation proving I require medication for travel, some which are banned from being taken despite being prescribed from your chemist. I had another seizure 2 days ago and I don't remember sleeping on the stairs and waking up with blood on my shirt, or leaving my glasses and phone on my desk. I'd wake up confused and not concentrated for the big match. Ronaldo didn't feel up for it prior to kick off, and the mood in the Brazil dressing room wasn't filling with confidence after 2 goals conceded before half time, and anyone who went through what he did would feel the same, especially since he was the best player in the world at the time and it was his big moment. At least he got his revenge 4 years later.
This final was the weirdest thing I've seen. ROnaldo had never been sick like that before. Some people say the team got money for it, but I doubt it . Selling a game has never been Zagallo's style.

Was in France during that whole WC. Anyone who remembers Brazil semis' performance vs the Netherlands would tell you that they were the huge favorites to win it all. So yes, there was something akwardly undescribable in how the Brazilian players moved on the pitch. They were all literally like "holding back" like a boxer does in a fixed fight. I had never seen this in my life...even in Serie A alledgedly "rigged" matches.
Right, it's not only about the result or how good the France side was. And I would never believe Ronaldo crashed under pressure. In the semi-final he scored the only goal and took the first penalty. From the very beginning he was always calm and composed. It was the weirdest match ever. I was sad and couldn't handle the name of Zidane for a few years after that.

Here's a conspiracy. Just before the q/final in Mexico 1970 between England and West Germany one of the best players to ever play the game, England goalkeeper Gordon Banks, was struck with a stomach bug. He was the only one in the team who had this. It was thought his food was tampered with. He couldn't play and the rest is history. It is just a possible explanation, but Bank's reputation was a mile high and a vital part of the England team.
There is a very important information; Ronaldo took his entire Family to France. Including his GF (the blond that appears cheering for his goal). His family was realy making he busy, asking for stuff and Money; but the main problem is that she was cheating on him in France with a brazilian journalist (Pedro Bial). He found out in Final's eve, had a huge fight with her and his family, that alreaey know - some of the players as well. And probably took something to try to sleep for that night. You can find a very recent testmony about this by 98 brazilian player, Cesar Sampaio. But is in Portuguese.
The striker playing at Inter Milan was dating Susana Werner - yes, the wife of former goalkeeper Benfica Júlio César - and César Sampaio recalls that at one point, one of the themes that ran in the Brazilian resort was that Susana had become involved with the journalist Pedro Bial. "I do not think Ronaldo had a seizure because Susana was with Bial, but they told me there was a case, but Ronaldo was not blind either because they were very young," said the former Palmeiras player.
If you replace the initials of the French Football Federation (FFF) by the numbers that correspond to them in the alphabetical order it gives you 666 666*3 (the number of goals in the final) = 1998
Nosi Rs spot on bro. I remember watching and thinking has some one done this to him covertly to help France win. And when the chips are down we all know who they have most allegiance to and who controls them. Not surprising really.
This actually reminds me about what happened to Guerrero for Peru as soon as Peru had a chance of being qualified for the World Cup. Guerrero was contaminated in Argentina prior to the game against Argentina and the "anti-doping" test was not released until a week before Peru had to face New Zealand. Everything points to someone slipping something into Guerrero's tea which resulted in him coming out positive. The weird thing is that even after the game against Argentina, FIFA officials said nothing of him being positive. To add to that, if Argentina had lost against Peru, there was a high chance of Argentina not making it into the 2018 World Cup. Peru had not lost one game since 2016 and was winning its last matches. Even during the game, there were controversial offside calls that never were offside. It was only after Peru qualified and Chile starting looking for a way of getting both Colombia and Peru disqualified that investigations started and FIFA officially came out to say that Guerrero had tested positive. This ended up with Guerrero serving a 6 month suspension, being the main striker that Peru uses so that even if he did make it into the World Cup, he would make it with very little play time. Is it a coincidence that Peru ended up in a group with France? or another coincidence that they could have faced Argentina if they advanced from their group?
THe only thing france did was to arrange the poul to avoid the biggest match and hope to get quarter Italy semi Germany and Final Brazil Only croatia changed this by beating the germans... if you call this cheating I called this love for competition and big screen... I remember us all joking about that ronaldo "poisoning" ... but it's a joke ahah It's not because some dude make a video on youtube that it change anything... I'm pretty sure Ronaldo must have some hormonal problems considering how much he started to gain weight around this period
Man, unfortunate this happened to him of all then, of course there’s never a good time to suffer what Ronaldo did. It is nice to be able to watch this knowing he led them to winning it all in 2002. What a guy, impossible to hate.
1998 Šuker got golden 'shoe' (best score with 6 goals) and Croatia got Bronze medal... 2018 Modrić got golden ball (best of the best player) and Croatia won the Silver! A country smaller than one city block in Paris, and maybe the only European team composed exclusively of local (national) players... Proud to be Hrvat!
i stoped with international football in 98 after this final. for me was when football died, sure something happened nobody talks clearly about it up to todays
Also, 1998 was the best world cup I ever saw. The squads from Brazil, France, Netherlands, Italy, Croacia, Denmark, Chile, those were the best generation since. Every world cup that followed has been a slight disappointment.
@@draxlerchronicles5851 2006 italy and 2010 spain was not rigged.....brazil won the next wc in korea japan in 2002 after allowing france to win then after where given the rights to host the world cup in 2014 argentina was the best team by far in that wc idk how messi did not play well in those finals against germany they won it only by one goal when argentina was clearly the superior team 2018 france wins wc easily against a Croatian team that was on 🔥 and was the best team in that wc the goals where easily scored like they where permitted now in the present looks like leo messi will win after allowing Germany to win back in 2014 so will get his title at all cost
I remember watching the build-up to this game live Ronaldo wasn't even on the team sheet the media had a meltdown trying to find out if he was starting or not long before the kick-off.
I remember supporting France for this final but yeah this match felt really off, so after it was done I subscribed to a conspiracy theory or two mostly involving bribery, I really remember Denilson being the only player really making a serious effort in this.
I don’t understand why R9 gets so much hype as one of the greatest strikers ever, he was really nothing special. I have seen Ronaldo play during his time at AC Milan & Corinthians. He was horrible, overweight, slow & had no dribbling abilities. He was a one dimensional goal scorer who’s only trick was waiting in the penalty box to score tap ins. He had no dribbling & no creativity.
Marius 07 Remember, football wasn’t very developed during Ronaldo’s day. Now, Pep Guardiola needs to watch one video analysis and he’d be able to get Pique or Umtiti to easily stop Ronaldo from causing trouble. The defenses today are of much higher quality than in Ronaldo’s time. Ronaldo only stood out because he played in an easy era where there were not many stars. In reality, he’s a far worse version of Lukaku. Therefore you can’t say Ronaldo was a great player, he didn’t do anything special.
Netherlands vs Brasil was the best match of the the tournament, the Netherlands were denied a penalty at the end and indeed kluivert could have scored more the winner of that match was at an disadvantage against France becausse of the energy drain and France almost walked trough the finals but at the end the amount of superstars in the 98 wc was just insane...
Ye brazil had to lose this one .. they will never allow a not European team to win the world cup in Europe.. this brazilian team was one of the best .. 4 years after this and they won the world cup ..
Do you think France won fair and square? Do remember what happened to the Tottenham squad before a derby game against Arse'nal (a game that Arse'nal had to win in order to win their fourth-place trophy) when more or less their entire first-team was struck down by food poisoning?
After the Fifa corruption came out a couple years ago going all the way to this world cup I believe Brazil was asked to lose. The seizure was just a scapegoating.
Sad story, R9 is my favourite footballer ever and I can say that nothing happens by acciedent, so it wasnt a coincidence. Anyway I always supported Adidas and Puma :)
The same 2022 final, kounde, konate, upmecano,verane were stated ill 2days before the game, but they played. Maybe they poisoned them,, and France played awkwardly.
So France will win 2026. Because France is the new Brazil, i will make some videos on why France is the new Brazil, why France will win 2026 and 2030 WC, Why England will never win a WC in modern days...and more.
Brazilian here, I still remember that World Cup. Here is what I know, and what I think: Theory #1: No, lol. Mario Zagallo personally told he chose to start the match with Ronaldo. "How would I leave the best player in the world out of a World Cup final?" said he in an interview. Doctor said he was good to play, no one thought he wouldn't be in full focus, apparently. Theory #2: Also no. Brazil was a pretty messed up team in 98. Absolutely zero tactics both in offense and defense. This team lost to Norway at group stage and barely beat Denmark and Netherlands (PK). They were lucky Ronaldo and Rivaldo were on fire, pretty much winning matches on their on. France, on the other side, was a much more solid squad. This was proven at the years that came afterwards. Lets not forget France beat Brazil again in 2001 Confederations Cup and 2006 World Cup. But could Ronaldo been poisoned or such? Yea.. that is a possibility.
Great content on this channel, Can we have a video on how Messi or Ronaldo NEVER seem to get a serious injury and when they do it doesn't affect their careers like so many great footballers?
Because it`s a conspiracy. youtube isnt the place for free content creators anymore. major content creators are professional agencys which manage thousands of channels with billions of views and hundreds of millions followers. All the "top X", the 5-15 minutes "breakdowns" about all different stuff (including sport, scandals, history etc), the fail compilations etc etc are made by a few agencies and people! Thats why you see basically the same videos/topics popping up in different channels. Many of them have the same voice, the same style or the same edit because it literally is the same!
A football player who played that finals from France told that while he was talking to someone from team Brazil on phone, a night before finals, he heard Ronaldo screaming and collapsing on the phone. He told his French mates that Ronaldo won't play that final but Ronaldo played that final after suffering a heart attack which was the reason for poor performance in the finals allowing France to win.
In Brazil everybody knows Ronaldo had a convulsion because Pedro Bial (a journalist from Brazil) answered the phone when he called Susana Werner's room. People were saying Susana was having an affair with Pedro before that. I think I would go crazy too if I were Ronaldo because Susana is one of the most beautiful women of all time.
I wonder if Ronaldo’s family know the real reason ? Like his kids and stuff ? His oldest son is 18 does he know? His girls are quiet young 8/9 years old and probably don’t care but what about the rest ? His mom etc ? I know I would want to know if I would have known him personally
Some of you can believe me or not but this is what happened to me. When I was 10 I was at Disneyland in California with my family. My dad and uncles were going to watch the 1998 wc final. All of a sudden a man started telling them that Maradona came on the cb radio (truckers radio) and said that brazil had sold out, to not bet on brazil because they would loose 3-0 to France. I know it sounds crazy but I swear this happened. Then of course it became true. The Match was rigged, the explanation you give does not live up. This happened to us swear on my father that has now passed on. Corrupt game unfortunately.
do you know what a joke is? and no my human eyes can not see the vibration of the sound created by my vocal cord my ears however, along with my brain can receive those vibration and process it ;p likewise, i doubt you can see any sound of any frequency
Any one else remembers how the fireworks were already ready for France even before the game began? There was definitely something fishy in this final game. Even the other world cups when Portugal had referees against them, it was more than obvious. Man I can't even enjoy football anymore, millionares out here always having all the fun :(
I remember watching that World Cup and Brazil was a super team destroying every team through his path.....then they get that horrible performance in the final.....I was like what happened here......now 24 years later after knowing how this world works......yes they sold that game to France
It could be ... Well , if brasil would have won 1994 , 1998 and 2002 , Who would fu*king watch a world championship where only one country wins . It could have been done to the sake of commercial profit out of this event
Ballon D'Or is awarded in december. Zidane won his 6 months after world cup as a result of world cup win. Going into France 98, Ronaldo was active Ballon D'Or winner.
My NEWEST video: "Why the U.S is TERRIBLE at Football" is out now! ⚽️🔥 Watch here: th-cam.com/video/j8D5F8jOmnM/w-d-xo.html THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT 🙏
Nice theories, but most likely, it`s always the simple answer. Ronaldo never gave up, he wanted to play this final, he told the staff that he can play and everyone was relieved to hear that. Thats what superstars and "winners" do. If you ask a football player if he is able to play the world cup final, he will say yes as long as he has both legs! Sometimes, they change the game against all circumstances.Sometimes, the circumstances prove that they are humans too.
Ronaldo speaks portuguese, spanish, italiand and english wow it wouldn't surprise me if he speaks more languages.. Outstanding, the phenomenom it was not only a great player also have a great brain and learning skills.
I love 2002 world cup , where France go out in Group stage with just 1 point & Argentina also gone out from group stage, Where Korea bet Portugal, Italy & Spain
A few years ago I remember watching a video where Zidane admits that Ronaldo was a much better player than him and a better scorer. In the end Ronaldo knows he was the better man in his prime
Zidane was being humble I think, in 2006 again Zidane proved that he was better than the entire Brazilian team!
4 ปีที่แล้ว
Imo Ronaldo was the most dangerous and most phenomenal player that ever set foot on a football field, i mean he was just deadly phenomenal, hence his nickname ‘Fenomeno’ but and this is a big BUT, he never did well against Zidane’s France. I think Zidane knew him too well and his team, therefore he shut them down very well each time , which also means Zidane admired Ronaldo and watched many of his games. Whatever the case, Ronaldo and Zidane are 2 of the best players that ever lived with Maradona.
El Lic. Italy was the best team of 2006. Ac Milan players like Pirlo, Inzaghi. The best goalkeeper in the world, Gigi Buffon. Talents like Alessandro del Piero, and Fabio Grosso. It was a golden generation. Damn, those guys are underrated.
Brazil was putting WAY too much pressure on Ronaldo during that 1998. I still feel that if they had added the World Cup '94 MVP Romario to play along with Ronaldo, to help take some of the pressure away. Plus Ronaldo looked up to Romario. Man, things could have been so different.
i was born in MEXICO and am a U.S citizen now cheering for MEXICO always have and always will, however my number one player will always be THIS RONALDO 🙏!

people will do whatever it takes to win man.
Platinni admitted that they rigged this world cup
www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/6318596/michel-platini-admits-world-cup-1998-fixed-france-brazil/
Unfortunately there is no justice for this corrupt organization
youwea Chaw not just the world cup. Almost every sport, look at cricket 100x worse than football.
No one gives a fuck about cricket
This world cup is also completely rigged.
The game could been purchased from the beginning, fifa does that all the time , peopke need to understand that futbol its not a game its a product, and every time you hear high fifa officials referring to futbol they always said : “its the biggest product” “its a very profitable product” etc etc
FIFA is pure corruption
It was thousand percent fixed in frances favor
Here's a conspiracy. Just before the q/final in Mexico 1970 between England and West Germany one of the best players to ever play the game, England goalkeeper Gordon Banks, was struck with a stomach bug. He was the only one in the team who had this. It was thought his food was tampered with. He couldn't play and the rest is history. It is just a possible explanation, but Bank's reputation was a mile high and a vital part of the England team.
You lost a game to 1/2 a country destroyed by war. a few years before.
Get over it.
There is a very important information; Ronaldo took his entire Family to France. Including his GF (the blond that appears cheering for his goal). His family was realy making he busy, asking for stuff and Money; but the main problem is that she was cheating on him in France with a brazilian journalist (Pedro Bial). He found out in Final's eve, had a huge fight with her and his family, that alreaey know - some of the players as well. And probably took something to try to sleep for that night.
You can find a very recent testmony about this by 98 brazilian player, Cesar Sampaio. But is in Portuguese.
The striker playing at Inter Milan was dating Susana Werner - yes, the wife of former goalkeeper Benfica Júlio César - and César Sampaio recalls that at one point, one of the themes that ran in the Brazilian resort was that Susana had become involved with the journalist Pedro Bial. "I do not think Ronaldo had a seizure because Susana was with Bial, but they told me there was a case, but Ronaldo was not blind either because they were very young," said the former Palmeiras player.
Wow is it ture?
@@USMNTsoccerELITE bro I've seen u many times u always hate r9 why
If you replace the initials of the French Football Federation (FFF) by the numbers that correspond to them in the alphabetical order it gives you 666
666*3 (the number of goals in the final) = 1998
Nosi Rs 0.0
Nosi Rs spot on bro. I remember watching and thinking has some one done this to him covertly to help France win. And when the chips are down we all know who they have most allegiance to and who controls them. Not surprising really.
What the fuck
Classy
Nosi Rs Sports is rigged sooo, nothing surprises me. Satan & his minions call the shots in this materialistic world 🗺.
The new background music is way better it feels like someone is telling you a legendary story. Thank you for changing it
The French poisoned him
The Argentinians poisoned him, with the help of the Juventus Brazilian players.
Possibly, either France or Argentina or BOTH did it
The tf2 spy stab him
This actually reminds me about what happened to Guerrero for Peru as soon as Peru had a chance of being qualified for the World Cup.
Guerrero was contaminated in Argentina prior to the game against Argentina and the "anti-doping" test was not released until a week before Peru had to face New Zealand. Everything points to someone slipping something into Guerrero's tea which resulted in him coming out positive. The weird thing is that even after the game against Argentina, FIFA officials said nothing of him being positive.
To add to that, if Argentina had lost against Peru, there was a high chance of Argentina not making it into the 2018 World Cup. Peru had not lost one game since 2016 and was winning its last matches. Even during the game, there were controversial offside calls that never were offside.
It was only after Peru qualified and Chile starting looking for a way of getting both Colombia and Peru disqualified that investigations started and FIFA officially came out to say that Guerrero had tested positive.
This ended up with Guerrero serving a 6 month suspension, being the main striker that Peru uses so that even if he did make it into the World Cup, he would make it with very little play time.
Is it a coincidence that Peru ended up in a group with France? or another coincidence that they could have faced Argentina if they advanced from their group?
THe only thing france did was to arrange the poul to avoid the biggest match and hope to get quarter Italy semi Germany and Final Brazil
Only croatia changed this by beating the germans...
if you call this cheating I called this love for competition and big screen...
I remember us all joking about that ronaldo "poisoning" ... but it's a joke ahah
It's not because some dude make a video on youtube that it change anything...
I'm pretty sure Ronaldo must have some hormonal problems considering how much he started to gain weight around this period
Man, unfortunate this happened to him of all then, of course there’s never a good time to suffer what Ronaldo did.
It is nice to be able to watch this knowing he led them to winning it all in 2002. What a guy, impossible to hate.
1998 Šuker got golden 'shoe' (best score with 6 goals) and Croatia got Bronze medal... 2018 Modrić got golden ball (best of the best player) and Croatia won the Silver! A country smaller than one city block in Paris, and maybe the only European team composed exclusively of local (national) players... Proud to be Hrvat!
i stoped with international football in 98 after this final. for me was when football died, sure something happened nobody talks clearly about it up to todays
Also, 1998 was the best world cup I ever saw. The squads from Brazil, France, Netherlands, Italy, Croacia, Denmark, Chile, those were the best generation since. Every world cup that followed has been a slight disappointment.
94 was the last real world cup
@@draxlerchronicles5851 2006 italy and 2010 spain was not rigged.....brazil won the next wc in korea japan in 2002 after allowing france to win then after where given the rights to host the world cup in 2014 argentina was the best team by far in that wc idk how messi did not play well in those finals against germany they won it only by one goal when argentina was clearly the superior team 2018 france wins wc easily against a Croatian team that was on 🔥 and was the best team in that wc the goals where easily scored like they where permitted now in the present looks like leo messi will win after allowing Germany to win back in 2014 so will get his title at all cost
i was huge fan of brazil back when i was 8 and was crying a lot when they lost! :(
5:22 Zidane classic. Standing like a rock on the ball while people bounces off him.
I remember watching the build-up to this game live Ronaldo wasn't even on the team sheet the media had a meltdown trying to find out if he was starting or not long before the kick-off.
I remember supporting France for this final but yeah this match felt really off, so after it was done I subscribed to a conspiracy theory or two mostly involving bribery, I really remember Denilson being the only player really making a serious effort in this.
edmundo, denilson...
They didn't have enough money to brive him too,huh?
For me was Croatia at that 1998 world cup was suprise first time to be at world cup and Šuker was top goal scorer an amazing days for Croatia football
CROMEN2 yaa uf Yugoslavia still exist at that time they will be a world cup winner
Хуан Карлос Ферреро unfortunately predrag mijatovic penalty is missed
Davor Suker!
CROMEN2 I agree. Davor Suker best Croatian player of all time.
Croatia... the team butt fucked by MEX in 2014, oh yeah, those guys LOLOL
Perhaps someone put something in his food that day to rig the match.
Lucas Claudio you mean like Tottenham
Zidane looks odd with hair
IKR LOL
Ronaldo looks odd with hair
I don’t understand why R9 gets so much hype as one of the greatest strikers ever, he was really nothing special. I have seen Ronaldo play during his time at AC Milan & Corinthians. He was horrible, overweight, slow & had no dribbling abilities. He was a one dimensional goal scorer who’s only trick was waiting in the penalty box to score tap ins. He had no dribbling & no creativity.
@@USMNTsoccerELITE you saw the end of his career.
Ronaldo without injuries was the biggest in history. It was truly phenomenal. 🤗
Marius 07
Remember, football wasn’t very developed during Ronaldo’s day. Now, Pep Guardiola needs to watch one video analysis and he’d be able to get Pique or Umtiti to easily stop Ronaldo from causing trouble. The defenses today are of much higher quality than in Ronaldo’s time. Ronaldo only stood out because he played in an easy era where there were not many stars. In reality, he’s a far worse version of Lukaku. Therefore you can’t say Ronaldo was a great player, he didn’t do anything special.
Netherlands vs Brasil was the best match of the the tournament,
the Netherlands were denied a penalty at the end and indeed kluivert could have scored more the winner of that match was at an disadvantage against France becausse of the energy drain and France almost walked trough the finals but at the end the amount of superstars in the 98 wc was just insane...
Ye brazil had to lose this one .. they will never allow a not European team to win the world cup in Europe.. this brazilian team was one of the best .. 4 years after this and they won the world cup ..
Do you think France won fair and square? Do remember what happened to the Tottenham squad before a derby game against Arse'nal (a game that Arse'nal had to win in order to win their fourth-place trophy) when more or less their entire first-team was struck down by food poisoning?
No, it did not win fair and square.
I like how you wrote Arsenal 😂
just came here to hear to the "belond Or"
1994-2014 were the golden ages of football change my mind
@OldFritz1 pelé?
@OldFritz1 they were definitely better times than now but I think 1994-2014 had a slight lead in entertainment and skill
except 2002 with that ref ruining the world cup for spain and italy
100% Rigged.
France must be striped of the title.
Voice is so much better here.
I mean, Italy, Spain and Germany got their world cup after playing south korea in 2002 (and in that order, lol)
I’ll never buy a nike product again. Tx for sharing
After the Fifa corruption came out a couple years ago going all the way to this world cup I believe Brazil was asked to lose. The seizure was just a scapegoating.
Sad story, R9 is my favourite footballer ever and I can say that nothing happens by acciedent, so it wasnt a coincidence. Anyway I always supported Adidas and Puma :)
Lol , I absolutely love that you put the Interstellar soundtrack in your background😂😂, intense
The same 2022 final, kounde, konate, upmecano,verane were stated ill 2days before the game, but they played. Maybe they poisoned them,, and France played awkwardly.
So France will win 2026. Because France is the new Brazil, i will make some videos on why France is the new Brazil, why France will win 2026 and 2030 WC, Why England will never win a WC in modern days...and more.
Does anymore remember the sticker album that went along with this? DAMN they were good days 😔
Oh yes I only had one sticker left to complete it!
France was the first host nation to win the WC since Argentina in 1978.
Lord Voldemort uruguay in the first world cup
There will always be secret shit happening behind closed doors and that’s just life. It’s just a shame that there are people out there like this.
Brazilian here, I still remember that World Cup. Here is what I know, and what I think:
Theory #1: No, lol. Mario Zagallo personally told he chose to start the match with Ronaldo. "How would I leave the best player in the world out of a World Cup final?" said he in an interview. Doctor said he was good to play, no one thought he wouldn't be in full focus, apparently.
Theory #2: Also no. Brazil was a pretty messed up team in 98. Absolutely zero tactics both in offense and defense. This team lost to Norway at group stage and barely beat Denmark and Netherlands (PK). They were lucky Ronaldo and Rivaldo were on fire, pretty much winning matches on their on. France, on the other side, was a much more solid squad. This was proven at the years that came afterwards. Lets not forget France beat Brazil again in 2001 Confederations Cup and 2006 World Cup.
But could Ronaldo been poisoned or such? Yea.. that is a possibility.
Great content on this channel, Can we have a video on how Messi or Ronaldo NEVER seem to get a serious injury and when they do it doesn't affect their careers like so many great footballers?
They both did get serious injuries tho
Messi is just built different. I see so many times that his ankle is literally bent towards the ground and nothing happens to him
Why does every one sport TH-camr breakdown page have the same voice lmao
Because it`s a conspiracy.
youtube isnt the place for free content creators anymore. major content creators are professional agencys which manage thousands of channels with billions of views and hundreds of millions followers. All the "top X", the 5-15 minutes "breakdowns" about all different stuff (including sport, scandals, history etc), the fail compilations etc etc are made by a few agencies and people! Thats why you see basically the same videos/topics popping up in different channels.
Many of them have the same voice, the same style or the same edit because it literally is the same!
Thanks for the video....exactly what I thought! Always knew there was something not right about this game! It was clearly fixed!
FIFA wanted France to win in 1998 and 2018. Brazil was a 3rd rate team in that final. Doesnt make sense because they had Ronaldinho not only Ronaldo
Ronaldinho was in 2002
A football player who played that finals from France told that while he was talking to someone from team Brazil on phone, a night before finals, he heard Ronaldo screaming and collapsing on the phone. He told his French mates that Ronaldo won't play that final but Ronaldo played that final after suffering a heart attack which was the reason for poor performance in the finals allowing France to win.
This has just been confirmed by Platini that the match schedule was fixed. So France could not face Brazil until the final
interstellar background music tho
In Brazil everybody knows Ronaldo had a convulsion because Pedro Bial (a journalist from Brazil) answered the phone when he called Susana Werner's room. People were saying Susana was having an affair with Pedro before that. I think I would go crazy too if I were Ronaldo because Susana is one of the most beautiful women of all time.
Gaucho Teixeirinha Susana Werner is beautiful woman all time? What is your standard of beauty?
😂😂😂😂
3:14 Susana Werner
Gaucho Teixeirinha i know her she is beautiful but not of all time. for me Marilyn Monroe is beautiful woman of all time.
Karrueche is atleast 20% hotter than both
5:19 that piece of skill by Zidane looks a lot like Berbatov's spin
How in the world did you find out that Ronaldo was prescribed with Voltaren???
Fenomeno - the real Ronaldo
This conspiracy is such a big and funny meme here in Brazil
2002, ah, the year when Turkey got the 3th place and South Korea the 4th
Platini admited the draw was fixed
FIFA most investigate this case. it can be posable that some poison was put in into the food of the Brazil team.
How about Lasagna gate 2006 Spurs and Arsenal??? Great video mate!
I wonder if Ronaldo’s family know the real reason ? Like his kids and stuff ?
His oldest son is 18 does he know? His girls are quiet young 8/9 years old and probably don’t care but what about the rest ? His mom etc ? I know I would want to know if I would have known him personally
Some of you can believe me or not but this is what happened to me. When I was 10 I was at Disneyland in California with my family. My dad and uncles were going to watch the 1998 wc final. All of a sudden a man started telling them that Maradona came on the cb radio (truckers radio) and said that brazil had sold out, to not bet on brazil because they would loose 3-0 to France. I know it sounds crazy but I swear this happened. Then of course it became true.
The Match was rigged, the explanation you give does not live up. This happened to us swear on my father that has now passed on. Corrupt game unfortunately.
WRONG *in Trump's voice* americans dont watch football you guys only know handegg
do you know what a joke is? and no my human eyes can not see the vibration of the sound created by my vocal cord my ears however, along with my brain can receive those vibration and process it ;p likewise, i doubt you can see any sound of any frequency
Ok
People can guess, you know.
So TH-cam started doing more than 1 ads now.. for fuck sakes always tryna make money they have more than enough
Just found your channel , great stuff mate
100 % Rigged ! Shame on FIFA.
Any one else remembers how the fireworks were already ready for France even before the game began? There was definitely something fishy in this final game. Even the other world cups when Portugal had referees against them, it was more than obvious. Man I can't even enjoy football anymore, millionares out here always having all the fun :(
Bastille day ,The French National Day , the national day of France, which is celebrated on 14 July EACH YEAR.
I remember watching that World Cup and Brazil was a super team destroying every team through his path.....then they get that horrible performance in the final.....I was like what happened here......now 24 years later after knowing how this world works......yes they sold that game to France
Sports are definitely rigged, maybe not all games but definitely the big ones. But I can't stop watching..
@@mryagami8448 Same here
Destroying?? Go watch them again
It could be ...
Well , if brasil would have won
1994 , 1998 and 2002 ,
Who would fu*king watch a world championship where only one country wins .
It could have been done to the sake of commercial profit out of this event
Ballon D'Or is awarded in december. Zidane won his 6 months after world cup as a result of world cup win. Going into France 98, Ronaldo was active Ballon D'Or winner.

They cant even name it
Because they love playing handegg
Nice theories, but most likely, it`s always the simple answer.
Ronaldo never gave up, he wanted to play this final, he told the staff that he can play and everyone was relieved to hear that. Thats what superstars and "winners" do. If you ask a football player if he is able to play the world cup final, he will say yes as long as he has both legs!
Sometimes, they change the game against all circumstances.Sometimes, the circumstances prove that they are humans too.
If Romario was allowed to play and be selected, he and Bebeto could have took some of the pressure off of Ronaldo’s shoulders in that final.
Ronaldo is always my Hero. And will remain till my death. A true living legend
I always feels sleepy after watching his videos....
I Think France And Croatia IS Gonna Fight In The Final Again...
Ronaldo speaks portuguese, spanish, italiand and english wow it wouldn't surprise me if he speaks more languages.. Outstanding, the phenomenom it was not only a great player also have a great brain and learning skills.
Dutch too
I remember being 8 years old and everyone in Albania knew Brazil got robbed lol
I love 2002 world cup , where France go out in Group stage with just 1 point & Argentina also gone out from group stage, Where Korea bet Portugal, Italy & Spain
The girl at 3.14..wowww!!
Wish i can meet you someday!
The way u smile..incredible
It is Susana Werner, back then the girlfriend of Ronaldo
Wat is the illuminati symbol got to do wit this? 🤦🏽♂️
Trigger 😔😔
Nike is illuminati
A few years ago I remember watching a video where Zidane admits that Ronaldo was a much better player than him and a better scorer. In the end Ronaldo knows he was the better man in his prime
Zidane was being humble I think, in 2006 again Zidane proved that he was better than the entire Brazilian team!
Imo Ronaldo was the most dangerous and most phenomenal player that ever set foot on a football field, i mean he was just deadly phenomenal, hence his nickname ‘Fenomeno’ but and this is a big BUT, he never did well against Zidane’s France. I think Zidane knew him too well and his team, therefore he shut them down very well each time , which also means Zidane admired Ronaldo and watched many of his games. Whatever the case, Ronaldo and Zidane are 2 of the best players that ever lived with Maradona.
@@amnafd8902 well said bro
Zidane wasn't a striker
Wow....if not for this Brazil might have won. And they would be the champions for three consecutive world cups(1994,1998 and 2002)
If not for this I might be pope.
Galva Tron Italy would have crushed them in 2006.
Galva Tron Nad they were fucking destroyed by Zidane
Pasquale Pascarella hahahahahahaha wtf
El Lic. Italy was the best team of 2006. Ac Milan players like Pirlo, Inzaghi. The best goalkeeper in the world, Gigi Buffon. Talents like Alessandro del Piero, and Fabio Grosso. It was a golden generation. Damn, those guys are underrated.
Zidane was awarded the 1998 Ballon D'or in December 1998 the World Cup was in the summer of 98.
someone told me cocaine can give you an instant heart attack.
befor the world cup finals Ronaldo Was the Best player in the world..(ballon d'or and best player Fifa janvier 98)
If romario played in this series,
I'm sure brazil win
Brazil was putting WAY too much pressure on Ronaldo during that 1998. I still feel that if they had added the World Cup '94 MVP Romario to play along with Ronaldo, to help take some of the pressure away. Plus Ronaldo looked up to Romario. Man, things could have been so different.
Romario was injured
i was born in MEXICO and am a U.S citizen now cheering for MEXICO always have and always will, however my number one player will always be THIS RONALDO 🙏!
