On Sunday, when France goes for international soccer glory against Croatia in the World Cup final, they will do so nearly 20 years to the day from when the country first won a World Cup. France, playing on home soil, was an extraordinary collection of talent, boasting one of the greatest attacking midfielders in the game's history in Zinedine Zidane, stout defenders like Marcel Desailly, and future superstars such as Thierry Henry. Many of these players would also go on to further international glory, winning the European Championship two years later.

Ian Wright and Jamie Redknapp were part of the thirty, but they had declared themselves unfit and, thus, only six names had to be found. Hoddle broke the news to them a day earlier than the planned announcement, but Gascoigne, in particular, took the decision extremely badly and left the camp in disgust.
