France was having a hard time finding potency in their attack in the first 25 or so minutes of the game. Yes they had more control but Honduras was giving them a hard time by pushing up. As long as France ended up dominating is what matters most though, they would have been much more lethal if Ribery wasn't injured.

It wasn't luck that allowed Honduras to fuck up in the box. Benzema was simply positioned better to receive the pass and Palacias had to resort to knocking him to put him out of position. Palacias got caught for it fair and square. France wasn't lucky because a foul was called and it resulted in a PK.
I'm surprised someone who watched soccer for 10 years would speak of LUCK when it comes to a obvious foul call. What's next? France was lucky the GK didn't jump the other way to block the PK shot?
