I was torn going into the match and throughout, both as to who I wanted to win and who I thought would win. I think what it comes down to is that Barthez really isn't a PK goalie. I mean you look at a guy like Lehmann in there and the kicker is at the disadvantage, but Barthez is small and quick but not an intimidator in a shootout.
It's nice to see Italy win this one, I didn't want to see Brazil again, but it would have been nice to have at least one non-western European team in the final four.
