Why this matchup matters
Two football ideas, one impossible night Two pragmatic world champions with devastating transition attacks. France have the pace and midfield legs to protect space; Brazil have Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho combining behind wing-backs who can turn defence into a five-man attack.
