1998 FIFA World Cup Group F
Football tournament group stage
Football tournament group stage
Group F at the 1998 FIFA World Cup comprised Germany and Yugoslavia of UEFA, Iran of the Asian Football Confederation and the United States from the CONCACAF region.
Germany and Yugoslavia both started well by beating the United States and Iran respectively. The United States was then eliminated with a match to spare after losing to Iran, while Germany drew with Yugoslavia. Iran needed to win their final game against Germany to qualify but was defeated, which meant that Yugoslavia would still have qualified even without their victory over the United States. Germany's two goals against both the United States and Iran put them top on goal difference.
Standings
- Germany advanced to play Mexico (runner-up of Group E) in the round of 16.
- Yugoslavia advanced to play Netherlands (winner of Group E) in the round of 16.
