In the 2006 FIFA World Cup quarter-final, France faced Brazil, the defending champions and one of the greatest teams in history. Brazil, the favorite to win, had Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Roberto Carlos in their lineup. But that day, Zinedine Zidane was simply unstoppable. He played a brilliant match, and his passing and dribbling were simply sublime. He ran the Brazil midfield ragged, and they had no answer to his genius. In the end, France won 1-0, and Zidane was named Man of the Match. It was one of the greatest individual performances in World Cup history, and it helped to cement Zidane's reputation as one of the greatest footballers of all time.
