五星巴西折戟沉沙

It's all nice like this that you can't help but get the feeling- someone in Paris rewrite the scripts.

They are not out. They are not dead. And they're going all the way to the final, he says. France eruptted in ecstasy¹ after knocking World Cup winners Brazil out of the tournament by 1 goal to nil².

Extremely happy, really it's great. It's Henry. It's Zidane. It's phenomenal. We beat the Brazilians again. It's phenomenal!

It's a rewrite of France's own World Cup triumph 8 years ago where against all predictions they lifted the trophy³ after beating the Brazilians in the final.

Certainly not how the party was supposed to end across the Atlantic in Rio.

We'll choose to be six-time world champion, she says. Samba coming to a stop as the unthinkable began to dawn and the tears began to roll.

I'm not feeling well, not feeling well. I'm going to the hospital.

Back in Paris, the party's just getting started. Les Bleus daring to dream; that they still got it in them to lift the trophy once again.
