The Brazil squad for the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France was considered one of the strongest teams in the tournament. The squad included legendary players such as Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Rivaldo, Cafu, and Dida. The team was coached by Mario Zagallo.
Brazil played in the Group A along with Norway, Morocco, and Scotland. They won their opening match against Scotland 2-1 but struggled to a 1-2 defeat to Norway in the second game. They finished their group stage campaign with a 3-0 win over Morocco.
In the round of 16, Brazil faced Chile and managed to win in a penalty shootout after a goalless draw in normal time. They then went on to beat Denmark 3-2 in the quarter-finals.
However, Brazil's hopes of winning a fourth World Cup title were dashed when they faced the host nation France in the semi-finals. Brazil lost the game 0-3, with Zinedine Zidane scoring two goals and Emmanuel Petit adding one. Brazil went on to finish the tournament in third place after a 2-1 win over the Netherlands in the playoff match. Ronaldo finished as the top scorer of the tournament with four goals.
