Former England Captain Rio Ferdinand's commentary on the 2-0 win by France over Nigeria:
"What is fantastic for France is that they now have different options with personnel. They will be a threat. You can't read who they are going to play with and that will be tough for opposing teams." He added, "I love Karim Benzema as a centre-forward, his movement. The one-two he played with Antoine Griezmann would have been goal of the tournament if he had scored."
With the win over Nigeria France now has two more goals than the total goals for the South Africa World Cup 2010 - 147/145. In the quarterfinals, France, Costa Rica,Colombia, Brazil and Netherlands. Algeria are the only team that has an African voice in the quarterfinals of the Brazil World Cup 2014.
"We're not the prettiest or the best, but we can do good things," France coach Didier Deschamps said after the game. "The deliverance came late. There was a lot of tension because we were up against a very athletic side and there were a lot of challenges."
In South Africa World Cup 2010, France which once hosted players like Michel Platini now a FIFA organizer, was expelled in the group stages, making a mocking of French football stars.
"I'm proud of my players because we're coming back from very far. I think we've given a lot of pleasure back to our fans," Deschamps told reporters, adding, "I think there were 5,000 here and millions back home who will feel proud."
