The England national football team that participated in the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France faced a challenging tournament filled with highs and lows. Coached by Glenn Hoddle, the team featured notable players such as Alan Shearer, David Beckham, and Michael Owen. England entered the tournament with high hopes but were placed in a tough group alongside Brazil, Scotland, and Tunisia. Their campaign began with a commanding 2-0 victory over Tunisia, but a disappointing 0-2 loss to Brazil in the knockout stage proved costly. Beckham's controversial red card in the match against Argentina further marred the team's performance, ultimately leading to their exit in the penalty shootout. Although the team showed flashes of talent, the 1998 World Cup remains memorable for its mixture of promise and disappointment, reflecting the ongoing struggles of England on the world stage as they sought footballing glory.
