FRANKFURT (AFP) — A Thierry Henry goal handed France a deserved 1-0 win over lacklustre defending champions Brazil in a World Cup quarter-final.
France, whose dominant midfield display was fired by the imperious Zinedine Zidane, will meet Portugal in Wednesday's semi-final in Munich.
"This is huge," gushed Zidane.
"We had to put in a huge performance and we did so.
"We had to hold it together defensively.
"We deserve our victory. Now we will try and get into the final as we do not want it to end here. It is so wonderful that we want to carry on," added the 34-year-old, who is to retire after the campaign.
