* Not everyone would agree with Jacquet: in fact, his captain in France’s World Cup-winning team, Didier Deschamps—France coach at time of writing—stunned reporters on the eve of France’s 2014 World Cup qualifying play-off second leg against Ukraine when he said his players had not practiced or even considered the prospect of penalties. France were 2–0 down at the time, and though they won the second leg 3–0, there was a time, at 2–2 on aggregate, when Deschamps’s lack of preparation might have haunted him.
