Why do the French need to cheat? How many games will it take France to score a goal with-out penalty kicks? France cheated and still lost how funny is that?

Zidane is a bastard captain and a diving ********. HE does not influence the team in anyway. France are, **** their last 2 goals were penalties in the final in semi final. Italy kick their asses

A goal scored from a penalty, compared to one scored from 30 yards, or one similar to Maradona's weaving past the whole defense, is at the end of the day, a goal.
So you cannot fault France from progressing, because their goals came from the spot.
I placed a bet on the draw for the Portugal/France semi-final. But I am not sore about it. It was a trip, whether Henry fell theatrically or not, is irrelevant.
Similarly, when Matterazi brushed against Malouda in the Final, a penalty looked very harsh but that's what makes football interesting, the controversies.
And these kind of things even themselves up, France got a 'soft' penalty but when Malouda was again brought down in the 2nd half, the referee didn't award it.
France beat Italy on penalty kicks in 1998 and in Euro 2000, snatched the trophy from them with a late equaliser and an early golden goal.
But this time around, Lady Luck decided it was time for Italy to have her share and she duly obliged in the penalty-shootout.
All their heartbreak of the past is consigned to the 'dustbin of history', with this victory.
France had her share, now it's her turn to see how others felt, when she won.

I doubt that France could really score without the penalty kicks. I mean, they have a few talented players, but none of them really work as a team to collaborate and score with much help from each other. They wouldn't have made it to the second stage of the tournament if it weren't for Zidane. It might take a long time before they score goal without being given their presents, unless they are still lucky.

Okay, so you're telling me that if you got a penalty kick in a game with a lot of importance, like the world cup final, you wouldn't take it? It's not France's fault, it's the ref. Don't get me wrong, i'm an Italia fan, but you would have taken the kick too.

Ha my friend you also forgot the Penalty Kick against Spain in the Round of 16. See and France didn't win because they were sneaking their way through with undeserved Penalty Kicks and what happened in the end...Italy won...see you all must know something....the ball does not lie..

"La coupe, on l'a ratée
Zidane et Trezeguet"
(We lost the cup,
Zidane and Trezeguet)
Hey buddy, some French people are taking it with humor though. You should check out the Headbutt Dance (if you don't speak French, there's an English translation as well). It's so fun!

Apparently, some French do know that what Zidane did was ridiculous ("on a quand meme rigolé" = we have laughed anyway) and that they lost because Trezeguet didn't convert his penalty.
Thumbs up for these French fans with a sense of humor!!!

scoring through penalty kicks is not cheating....and im sure france didnt cheat in the italy game....however, it does show that france really isnt as good as everyone thinks since they cant get an actual goal....that just shows that italy deserved to win alot more since they actually made a goal.
im tired of people saying everyone else cheated (though i dont support france...im very glad italy won). i think in this case, the right team won.
