	1998 FIFA World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1998 Football World Cup was held in France, by the FIFA decision in July 1992 beating a bid by Morocco to host the event.
		This was the first Cup title for France, who became the seventh world champions, the other six being Brazil, Uruguay, Italy, Germany, England and Argentina.
		This World Cup tournament was the first one for the countries of Croatia, Jamaica, Japan, and South Africa.

	FIFA World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The FIFA World Cup, sometimes called the football World Cup or the soccer World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international football competition contested by the men's national football teams of member nations of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) (the sport's global governing body).
		The decision to hold the second of these, the 1938 FIFA World Cup, in France was controversial, as the American countries had been led to understand that the World Cup would rotate between the two continents.
		The 2002 FIFA World Cup (hosted jointly by Japan and Korea) was the first one held in Asia, and in 2010, South Africa will become the first African nation to host the World Cup.

	1998 FIFA World Cup qualification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A total of 174 teams entered the 1998 World Cup qualification rounds, competing for a total of 32 spots in the final tournament.
		There were some individual records too: Iran beat the Malvides by the widest margin in World Cup history, the score being 17-0 (this record was broken twice by Australia in the 2002 World Cup qualification).
		The only new name was South Africa, but their success was hardly a surprise, in view of the potential of their players and their victory in the African Nations' Cup in 1996.

		The first Asian teams to make it to the semi-finals was at the 2002 World Cup, when South Korea and Turkey both did this (Turkey is however a member of the UEFA, and thus sometimes considered a European country when it comes to football).
		The 2014 World Cup, which FIFA has earmarked for South America, is expected to be held in Brazil as CONMEBOL, the South American Football Confederation, has already backed it as their choice.
		At the end of each World Cup final tournament, several awards are attributed to the players and teams which have distinguished from the rest, in different aspects of the game.

	The Year in American Soccer, 1998
		The remainder of the run-up to the World Cup was a series of friendlies against a variety of teams, although hindsight would lead one to question the wisdom of scheduling so many games against relatively weak teams.
		MLS Cup '98 moved to the west coast, being held at the Rose Bowl, where a crowd of 51,350 saw a tough, closely fought match ultimately dominated by the Fire's steady goalkeeping from Zach Thornton and playmaking of Peter Nowak as the Fire brought United's dynasty to an end, with a 2-0 shutout.
		With World Cup 1999 coming quickly, and ticket sales far ahead of expectations, this was a great preview for what would be the best year in the team's history, and the best year ever for American soccer.

		Nevertheless, the 1992 European Champions and 1998 World Cup quarter-finalists have picked themselves up after that disappointment and they qualified for Korea/Japan impressively by winning the trickier-than-it-looked UEFA Group 3.
		Group A has a clear favourite (France) and a clear outsider (Senegal) and while no one is immune from World Cup upsets, it's a fair bet that the all-important second place will come down to a battle between Denmark and Uruguay.
		Nigeria was outplayed 4-1 and that set them up for a quarterfinal against Brazil in which they contributed equally much as the defending champions in making it one of the best matches of the latest World Cup.

		This is totally different from the heavily defensive style that Italy showed in this World Cup (defending in their half of the field) and counter-attacking with long balls, when possible, for a lonely Vieri to try to make the miracles they needed.

	MP3 Insider: Introducing the world's first MP3 player - CNET reviews
		The world's first mass-produced hardware MP3 player was Saehan's MPMan, sold in Asia starting in the late spring of 1998.
		Even the blink-tag-laden EigerLabs.com, which used to proudly display the words "world's first MP3 player," seems to have finally bitten the digital dust (there's nothing there, although the domain is registered until October 6, 2005).
		So if Saehan/Eiger Labs produced the world's first flash-based MP3 player, you might be wondering who earned that distinction for hard-drive players such as the Apple iPod.
