World Cup 2006 | Spain 1 - 3 France
France struck twice in the last 10 minutes to see off Spain and set up a quarter-final meeting with Brazil.
Spain went ahead through David Villa's superbly struck penalty after Lilian Thuram rashly fouled Ibanez Pablo.
France soon equalised when Frank Ribery rounded Iker Casillas after he was found by Patrick Vieira's clever pass.
With seven minutes to go Vieira powered in a header and with Spain pushing forward Zinedine Zidane broke clear for a solo effort in stoppage time.
Guess this serves me right for writing off the French so offhandedly.

Spain---the classic underachiever.... perhaps Benitez will learn something from the loss and start looking abroad..
