Rigged 1998 WC so France, Brazil meet in final: Organiser
Former UEFA chief and World Cup 1998 organiser, France's Michel Platini has admitted that the draw for the 1998 World Cup was rigged so that France and Brazil could not meet until the final. The draw was presided over by former FIFA chief and then general secretary Sepp Blatter, who years later made 'illegal payments' of $2 million to Platini.
