Незамутненный Платини

Michel Platini has admitted he "did a little trickery" with the 1998 World Cup group stage draw to try and ensure hosts France and reigning champions Brazil would fulfil "everyone's dream" by meeting in the final.

"We didn't bust our balls organising a World Cup for six years to not be able to do a little trickery. You don't think the others didn't do that at other World Cups? Really?"
