France coach Raymond Domenech almost lost his words after the 1998
title-taking side won 1-0 in Frankfurt on Saturday to crash out World Cup
favorites Brazil.
"It's extraordinary. Sometimes the words are not enough to
describe what you're experiencing," he said.
Thierry Henry side-footed a
free-kick from Zinedine Zidane at 57 to seal the quarterfinal victory for France
and to set up them a last four clash against Portugal.
"Portugal won't be
easy, but for the moment, let me enjoy this. There's only football to offer you
great moments like this," said Domenech.
