I'm from France and i just wan't to say congrats Italy for this win !
It's sure that loosing on the PKs isn't the best way to loose but that's part of the game and i don't forget that we beat you during the PKs too in 1998.
I think that Italy was better than us in the first half but we got better in the second half and totaly dominated the end. About the Penalty on Malouda, i don't think that there was a fault on this action, though there was really a penalty on another fault on him later (in the second half), so i guess that's balanced.
About Zidane trashers, i know that he lost his temper but try to imagine how u'd react after 100 minutes on a football ground with insults in your face.
Anyway congrats Italy and see you for the euro preliminaries !
