Lady luck says bbye to France finals says Italy are World Champs !!

I followed this football worldcup somewhat closely atleast for the biggies..

I noticed one thing .. France has made it to the final just by luck but France was not lucky when it mattered – the penalty shootout for the penultimate trophy.

Italy was really fortunate to score 5 out 5 in the shoot out .. France was lacking Zidane , Henry , Veirra duing the shootout..
