# not every penalty is a given goal
but the goalie should have to make a fantastic, brilliant save for it not to be a goal. Barthez's save was ordinary. He dived the right way and easily got his hands to it.

Look at Zidane's penalty. Even if James had gone the right way, there would have been little cahnce of him getting it.

# Technically no,
the goal wasn't required, we could have won 1-0, but any team 2 goals down on 90 minutes will tend to give up a bit, even France. And any donkey strikers whose team are 2 goals up don't tend to track back and try to defend much.

# the 2 goal lead
would've obviously have been a better cushion for us but again i say we were well on our way until heskey gave away the free kick
