France beats Portugal
Zinedine Zidane converted a penalty kick in the 33rd minute, giving the French a 1-0 victory over Portugal and a berth in the World Cup final.
France, which was supposed to be soccer’s over-the-hill gang, meets Italy at Berlin on Sunday night in a matchup of blue — France’s Les Bleus vs. the Italian Azzurri.
The French will be making just their second ever appearance in a World Cup final — the other was their famous 3-0 victory at home over Brazil in 1998. Italy, trying for its fourth title, will be in its sixth final.
