Brazil is out of the World Cup.
I have now settled down and am dealing with the shock. How could the defending champions lose?????
The answer is in Zidane great skill in leading France. He was clearly in control, moving the ball around, displaying great skill in ball control and passing it accurately to his equally impressive teammates. It was a beautifully executed free kick...landing near the edge of the far post, where a very free Henry picked it up and flicked it into the goal in one accurate touch.
What I'm not sure of is whether France's defense was really so tight that they prevented any Ronaldo or Ronaldinho attempts and plays...I suppose they were because I didnt see any Brazil magic that I've always loved and always look forward to.
Now I have to find a new favorite team to win this year's cup.
