Vieira: We will get better

Man-of-the-match Patrick Vieira warned France’s last eight opponents Brazil that Les Bleus can still improve on a pulsating 3-1 win over Spain which set up a World Cup quarter-final between the last two teams to lift the most important trophy in world sport.

Vieira scored the crucial second goal against Spain before Zinedine Zidane - like Vieira, a 1998 veteran – added a third in the dying seconds to secure victory for Raymond Domenech’s team and a match with the team they beat 3-0 in the final eight years ago and who succeeded them as world champions in 2002.
