France forward David Trezeguet remained philosophical despite missing the penalty which saw his team lose in the World Cup final against Italy.Substitute Trezeguet, who came on in the first period of extra-time, stepped up to take Les Bleus´ second spot-kick in a dramatic final penalty shoot-out, but was not denied by Juventus team-mate and Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon - but by the crossbar.He said: "I didn´t think I hit the ball badly. I think it´s important that one takes responsibility for his acts and I walk with my head held high. We have to accept defeat, look ahead, this is part of football."
