Both the teams are strongs.
Both have won 3 world cups in the Past.
Italy won in 1934, 1938 and some other
France won once in 1960s, and someother time, and once in 1990s.... under Zine-Dine Zidan.....
And again, French have this slight advantage of winning previously and playing under pretty much many players that won its latest World Cup in the 1990s.
