1998年法国世界杯，即第十六届世界杯足球赛，于1998年6月10日–7月12日在法国举行。由于参加决赛阶段的球队增加到32支，因此赛制也有所变化：首先分成8个小组进行循环赛，之后每个小组的前两名将进入淘汰赛，直到决出冠军。在决赛中巴西以0-3败给主办国法国，而法国亦首次夺得世界杯冠军，是第七个获得世界杯冠军的国家（继
乌拉圭、意大利、德国、巴西、
英格兰和阿根廷之后）。本届比赛的最大黑马是在八强大胜三届冠军德国三球、后来夺得第三名的
克罗地亚，该队的射手苏克也以6球夺得了金靴奖。

Now is the time,
Don't ever stop.
Push it along,
Gotta be strong,
Push it along,
Right to the top.
Como Cain y Abel
Es un partido cruel
Tienes que pelear por una estrella
Consigue con honor
La copa del amor
Para sobre vivir y luchar por ella
Luchar por ella (Yeah!)
Do you really want it? (Yeah!)
Here we go!! Ale, ale, ale
Go, go, goal!! Ale, ale, ale
Arriba va!! El mundo esta de pie
Go, go, goal!! Ale, ale, ale
La vida es
Competicion
Hay que sonar
Ser campeon
La copa es
La bendicion
La ganaras
Go go go
And when you feel the heat,
The world is at your feet.
No one can hold you down
If you really want it!
Just steal your destiny
Right from the hands of fate.
Reach for the cup of life
'Cause your name is on it!
Do you really want it? (Yeah!)
Do you really want it? (Yeah!)
Tu y yo, Ale, ale, ale!
Go, go, gol! Ale, ale, ale!
Tonight's the night! We're gonna celebrate!
The cup of life! Ale, ale, ale!
Gotta go and get it.
Do you really want it?
Gotta go and get it.
Do you really want it? (Yeah!)
The cup of life,
This is the one.
Now is the time,
Don't ever stop.
Push it along,
Gotta be strong,
Push it along,
Right to the top.
Como Cain y Abel
Es un partido cruel
Tienes que pelear por una estrella
Consigue con honor
La copa del amor
Para sobrevivir y luchar por ella (SI!)
Luchar por ella (SI!)
Luchar por ella (Yeah!)
Do you really want it? (Yeah!)
Here we go! Ale, ale, ale!
