Les Bleus go down in defeat

Despite plenty of chances to knock off Italy, who went flat after the first half, France just couldn't connect with the goal. After Zizou have a momentary lapse of judgment and was sent off, Les Bleus just couldn't recover and Italy was perfect in the Penalty Kick phase of the tie-breaker. It turned out to be a fantastic World Cup anyway for France, doing much better than most fans expected though I just wish title matches could be decided by playing the game and not penalty kicks. I think we could hear Italy celebrating from Paris. What a finish for Italy.
