Quelle fucking surprise.



France-Brazil in the final, it was the dream of everyone,” Platini told radio station France Bleu Sport, in an interview to be broadcast in full on Sunday.

The 62-year-old was laughing as he added: “There was a little trickery. We did not spend six years organising the World Cup to not do some little shenanigans. Do you think other World Cup hosts did not?"

I actually thought that the hosts and holders were always kept apart intentionally. Apparently not back in '98.
