I'm not sure why everyone is so surprised and labelling France jammy. It's our fault for giving away the freekick and the penalty, that is truly the mother of all fuckups. The only way we could make it any worse is by losing to Switzerland and Croatia.
We didn't exactly play shit either, our defence was solid, Rooney was immense until he started getting too wound up, the midfield ran the game in parts and considering the calibre of the opposition midfield that's bloody good. Beckham's penalty was taken well and Barthez simply guessed correctly, there's very little skill involved in saving penalties and it's a complete lottery provided the taker gets it on target, which is fairly obvious. France are the best team in the world remember, if you give them the chances, especially such easy ones like we did, they're going to take them.
