Look, Zidane is a great player, but he didn't take France to the Final, he just won them the final, and that French team was not shitty, it was loaded with some real class.
I could sit here and list the squad, but do some research and check who was playing for that French team back in the days.
Add to it, Ziadne got that Red card agianst S. Arabia, and missed the next two matches. Against Italy in the 1/4 finals he was alright. I don't remember him doing much against Croatia in the 1/2 final, if it wasn't for Thuram heroics, the French would have been out by then. He showed up for the final match, and you are going to tell us that Zidane single Handley took the French to the Final in 1998, if you said he did so in 2006 I would have agreed, but that he had no impact on their route to the final.
