It's a form of discrimination in football.
Absolutely brilliant start really for Zidane.
...teammates at Real Madrid for the last several years.
Zidane commits the foul.
He already has a yellow card.
A few players with yellow cards coming into this.
Kicks.
That was in the last match.
That game will be Wednesday in Munich.
Eleven players from their last World Cup squad.
Average.
Let's see if it helps them.
Henry.
Broken up there.
Halfway line.
Always disagree or not.
This is it for him.
He'll be retiring from club and country after this World Cup.
So a loss tonight.
Ronaldinho curls in.
Ronaldo.
Put it over.
Ronaldo finding space there on the back post.
Getting away from Willy Senghor.
The right back here you see.
Certainly gets up above but not enough to keep that ball.
Zidane.
Six players for France playing in their third World Cup.
One of eight players brought down by the magical right foot there of Zidane.
A good strike on goal but certainly now an opportunity.
Zidane played it over.
Oh, Dida.
In that position he'll probably fill that role as he grows and develops as a player.
Big shoes to fill.
Ronaldinho's pass.
He gets it back.
Good control.
Leads it for Ronaldo.
Silvas pass.
Ronaldinho.
Still has it.
Leads it.
Right side for Kaká.
And that's just a bit too much.
A lot better from Ronaldinho though.
His first touch is explosive and that's what we've seen.
At any time Zidane strikes it first.
Look out.
For Zidane.
18 year professional.
Brazil or France who won it in 1998.
Ronaldinho turns and faces goal.
Quickly into space for Ronaldo.
France some confidence and they came back.
Beats Spain.
3-1.
This could be his last game.
If France loses he says that's it.
This record by Gerd Müller stood for almost 32 years before Ronaldo.
That's where he needs to go into Zidane and switch a point of attack on the other side.
Zidane leads it.
That is Vieira.
To Zidane.
McAlealy.
Switching for Zidane.
Age 34.
And then advance forward with the ball.
And Zidane.
Three players surrounding him.
Respecting him.
Zidane.
Right side Abidal on the left for France.
They're matching up with Roberto Carlos.
Either passing or shooting.
He's shooting.
But it's over.
Zidane.
Well you got to take chances really if you want to score so.
That's Zidane stepping up there.
Brazil.
Zidane.
There's still some magic there.
Unbelievable.
So many like hopeful in between balls.
As we see again the magic.
In the feet of Zidane.
With the ball.
The dangerous ball really to the back six.
Here it is.
Watch this.
Ronaldinho.
Double team taken down.
Now I disagree with that call.
Did not see it.
The one thing Ronaldinho does wrong here really is he teach all the players at the youth level as well.
Don't let the ball bounce.
Up for Ronaldinho.
Back for Ronaldo.
Looking.
Shot was deflected.
Zidane.
A rare mistake for him.
He lost the ball.
Here's diving.
Zidane.
Defensively by Avedon.
And before JP I was joking around.
Without him.
On penalty kicks.
Cristiano Ronaldo who plays.
So quick.
Zidane is scoreless.
First half.
Not a down.
Dida.
At times to mark two sometimes.
With Zidane when he pushes forward.
In the four games that they've played.
So defensively they've been solid on both sides.
This is brilliant.
They allowed Zidane to turn.
Wow.
Went home for personal reasons.
Zidane.
Inside header.
And that's hot.
Went over the bar.
Showed that there.
Playing balls in between.
Look at it again.
To Malouda.
Oh he had it on him.
I'd like to say it.
If he was going to be here.
Watching Zidane.
Reince will take it.
Zidane.
Malouda.
Freedom to leave the club whenever you want.
Just to go watch a World Cup game with your teammates and friends.
I mean obviously.
I know.
Yeah here you see him.
He just bumps into Cafu.
Didn't see the handball really.
Me neither.
41st minute.
France.
And Brazil.
And you're right.
He's usually more calm.
I'd say that.
Still got it.
34 years old.
I'm older but I'm still smart.
Pushing forward.
Ronaldinho.
For Cafu.
This cross low.
The deflection.
Oh look at the magical footwork.
He finds another player.
If there is one.
For Brazil.
They have to win this game.
So at least they can get a clear shot on goal.
Zidane.
Right off the wall.
Zidane will get it back.
Floats it up there.
Scoring.
Plenty of chances.
When we return.
Sunday people woke up.
Halftime report.
Portugal prevailed today against England.
Scoreless here between France and Brazil at halftime.
We've got a big one coming up for you on Tuesday.
Germany versus Italy.
Anticipate a bit more in the box.
In Munich.
Intended for Zidane.
Headed away.
Foul on Brazil.
On Juan who already has the yellow card.
We'll see there in the next game if they advance.
Zidane plays it in.
A header.
It was there but it was wide.
The flag was up anyway for an offside.
And that pass from Cafu.
Ronaldinho out wide.
Draws two.
Gets by.
Tried to cross it in.
The great Zidane.
Tripped up.
Draws the foul.
Took out a corner kick when he was out manned.
Unbelievable.
Called the world's best player.
Played across.
To Ronaldinho.
Cut into the inside.
Finished it off.
Here is Zidane.
Tackled away by Zé Roberto.
Tried to cut inside.
Ronaldinho's able to turn but that first pass failed.
There's so much respect for France in the way they've started tonight.
Dropping every play.
Thoughts on the way the second half has started.
The second crack at it.
Zidane.
Took it away from Ribery.
Now Zidane.
This one over to Ronaldo.
And the crowd loathing it.
Such good skill.
Discomposure on the ball.
He's relaxed.
He's got a great touch.
So relaxed.
He's got a great touch.
It's a good plan before he makes the first.
Here's his free kick.
Knocked in.
Golovkin has scored.
Look at the runs in the box.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Reaction there.
Look at Brazil's reaction.
Comparing himself to Cafu.
Cafu has 19 World Cup games.
The most on Brazil.
He turns.
He got free.
Ribery looks.
Zidane is deflected.
Oh, it just missed.
Come back to that play.
France does not go on.
Into the semifinal.
Sitting on the back post saying.
Let that come through.
The 200th all-time in World Cup play for Brazil.
This continues on.
Certainly.
Somebody stepped on the back of his heel.
He lost his shoe.
A little bit there.
So it's not going to be easy.
But Brazil.
France looking ahead.
Zidane.
Trying to lead it for Henry.
Wiltord doesn't do as much defending.
But really tonight.
Balut has played better than he did.
Here's Zidane.
I would have thought that if France would have won this game.
Adriano slides it over.
Guadaldino.
Puts it forward.
Kaká.
Martes would have been the one saving the time.
And I'm sure it's going to come.
Zidane.
He's had a strong night.
Had a great one against Spain.
He's inside now.
For Ronaldinho.
Cutting.
For Cafu.
Tackle.
But it's a goal kick.
World Cup 98.
Going inside.
It's brought down.
Zidane.
Everybody turned to him and said settle down.
Now they're letting Brazil back into this game.
Dino doing such a great job of anticipating coming off if he didn't.
It's Spain.
When he scored that mortifying goal before halftime.
Here's Ribery.
Attacking towards the center of the goal.
Henry.
To Zidane.
73rd minute.
The drama continues.
Zidane.
Here's Zidane again.
Kept it on the ground.
Cannot return.
Well certainly France has to come back and rebuild again.
As they're still playing 4 against 6.
Outnumbered.
Ronaldinho.
World player of the year.
Being outclassed tonight.
He's playing like that isn't he?
Unbelievable.
Not playing like 34.
France have made the one to vote for the T-Mobile man of the match.
Ronaldinho.
Henry.
Here are blocked.
Here is Zidane again.
Good end tonight.
In Frankfurt.
Henry.
Adriano was the intended target.
80th minute.
Ronaldinho.
Can he work magic and bring Brazil back?
Vieira is just having a fantastic night.
Show a little respect for Zidane.
Jose Roberto coming in.
Final four will consist of four European teams.
You have Germany.
Coming up in straight.
He'll loft it.
Barthez got a piece.
Next match if they receive too many.
Ronaldinho.
Over the ball.
With Roberto.
Ronaldinho.
It was on his foot.
He could have been the big star tonight.
Bringing his team back.
Well he strikes it well.
Certainly with those.
Time will be key.
How much is on?
Here's Zidane.
Zidane.
Three on three.
Zidane.
Gives it up.
Saha shot.
Trying to force the ball forward.
Ronaldinho.
Broken up.
But he's got it back.
No.
It's France's ball.
Leads it.
There's Zidane.
Saha is on the left.
Zidane.
Just killing the clock.
Leads it now to the middle.
It seemed like a 50-50 to me.
Three minutes of stoppage time was added on.
Leading Brazil.
Barthez clears it.
That's it.
Brazil have been eliminated by France again.
