Well, the point is that they might have deserved to win the penealties because they simply scored 5 while France missed one but that doesn't really mean that they "deserved" to win the game or the Cup. Because on the other side, France controlled most of the game and they were the ones who tried to decided the game. Even with 10 men! Even with one man more on the field, Italy didn't really put up more pressure. I don't know whether I could make the distinction clear.
In the end, their concept of anti-football won the Cup.
And Italy might have had a bad history concerning penealties but that doesn't mean that the current players were horrible at scoring penealties. In fact, most of their shots were superb and almost impossible to stop. Barthez guessed more of them right than Buffon.
So again, Italy won the game by being better in the deciding 5 mins of the penealties, France was the better team over the 120 mins.
