Against France I was quite afraid, because usually they are VERY lucky, and always win with penalties or at the shootouts, whilst Italy always (almost always) losesat the final shootouts. Think of what happened in the final USA94 against Brasil or inf France 98 against France. This time our player have been great, because they did very well in doing what they usually don't do well, the final shootouts....anddoing this against France it was a double satisfaction as we also had to revenge the final of the Euro Cup 2002 when we dominated them for 94 minutes and were winning 1-0 when they reaching the extra times and whon during the extra times with a golden goal (which as been banned finally). In that match Italy was evidently superior to France but France won.
