Report
France are through to the Semi Final as Flair and finesse won over the battle against Greek strength and determination. Not what we came to expect from the Greeks who put on a poor defensive display giving away the ball far too often, but credit to France for taking their chances and scoring a couple of great goals. Henry became the the third player to grab a hatrick in this tournament, and the pick of the goals was the first. A fine 3 man move with Wiltord slipping the ball through to Zindane and he displayed a moment of magic, chipping the most delicate pass into to Henry who finished brilliantly on the volley. The second goal came from a mistake, the ball given away with Henry lurking with intent. He ran through and banged the ball home. The third goal came with a move down the left, a low cross in was met by Henry who smashed it in to claim a hatrick and kil the tie off in the first half.
The second half, the Greeks improved but couldnt create chances. The French missed a good chance from Wiltord who fired over. Charisteas came close with a header which hit the crossbar on the 85th minute. But a master class in finishing from the French who romp through to the semi finals. The Greeks go home, disappointed but they were playing a team on form and so credit due to them for reaching the knockout stage. So thats its from Luz, with the game ending Greece 0 France 3.
France to play the winner of Bulgaria V Germany in the semi final.
