France send Brazil out

France this evening in Germany sent defending champions, Brazil out of the 2006 World Cup by a lone goal scored by Henry in the first stanza of the all-heat encounter, which was like that between both nations eight years back...one goal too many and too painful.

Both teams had filed into the pitch with determination to carry the day, but the French boys, looking more determined and smoking from the very onset, carried the day. Here in Nigeria, it was a 50-50 chance for both sides as fans rooted for both side ceaselessly throughout the duration of the game. nigeriasports.com will bring you details of how Nigerians reacted to the ouster of the South Americans soon.
