The heavy favorite in this World Cup, Brazil was beaten 1-0 by France this afternoon. The five-time winner of the tournament is now out of the 2006 World Cup.
In a major upset, France beat Brazil by deploying its best men and connecting its passes. The star of the game, Zinedine Zidane, crossed the ball over to Thierry Henry, who pounded the ball into the back of the net with a great header. France was playing wonderfully the whole game against a weak Brazil. It was only a matter of time before Brazil felt the pressure in goals.
Brazil's three star players seemed to not be prepared sufficiently for the game, and couldn't get any momentum against a pumped France.
It now seems that Germany and France will play each other in the Final. They each have to get through a semifinal against Italy and Portugal, respectively, in order to make it that far though.
Portugal blasted England out of the Cup earlier today in a tense penalty shoot-out.
