EDIT - Actually, Italy in 2006 were super jammy weren't they?
Is it jammy though? Deserved penalty and a brilliant goal. They kept going despite how badly they'd played and Argentinian failed to capitalise and punish France further when they had the chance, which is on them.
I feel they have been distinctly second best in each of the last three matches and conceding chance after chance. Great at taking their own chances of course and it's the nature of tournaments, but I think they've been a lot luckier than most this year.
I think France are happy to concede possession when they have a lead, so it's hard to judge how well they played against England and Morocco because they were in the lead for so much of those games. I don't think I'd describe them as jammy in either game.
