Portugal managed to be binding only at the end of the meeting of shooting to the goals vis-a-vis a team of England made up of 10 joureurs only following expulsion of Wayne Rooney.
France is essential vis-a-vis Brazil.
I think that England deserved to gain, quite simply because Portugal proved to be unable to take the advantage during the match or even during the prolongations whereas they were in numerical superiority!
On the other hand, the victory of France over Brazil was deserved because France played better than Brazil.
This match, caused a tidal wave in journeaux French, who competes of praises! From a title to another, good place is made in Zinédine Zidane, the man of the match and with Thierry Henry, the author of the decisive goal marked on a frank blow of the first.
- “Magic!” (L'Equipe)
- “Too extremely!” (Paris Dimanche)
- “They did it!” (Le Journal du Dimanche)
In a leading article, the Team greets the collective control of the French players but reserve her stronger compliment in Zidane “returned to gain”, which “played the most accomplished match of its career out of World cup”.
“At the end of a heroic match and perfectly controlled vis-a-vis the Brazilian champions of the world, the Blue ones logically gained their place in semi-finals, where they will face Wednesday the team of Portugal”….
“Brilliant Zidane, decisive Henry and an iron defense make it possible to the French to dream with a new title”
(Paris Dimanche)
“Most remarkable in this victory, it is that the team-members of Zidane, radiant, will have trembled only in the last seconds, whereas Brazil had thrown all its offensive forces to believe in a return”.
(Le journal du Dimanche, Olivier Joly)
“They know too well from where they come. One day, soon, they will explain us besides how they made. By then, there remains to them nothing any more but one match to be gained vis-a-vis Portugal before famous July 9.”
(L'Equipe)
Where are the journalists who, since months, did not cease criticizing the team of France, the selector, players…. ?
Is it possible that the Team of France is able to play well only when it has been given a rough ride during several months?
