National teams of France and Italy are longtime rivals, as the two countries are neighbours and football is Italy's national sport. In recent times this rivalry has been more diffused, as many top French players made their names while playing for Serie A clubs, notably Lilian Thuram (Parma FC & Juventus), David Trézéguet (Juventus), Marcel Desailly (A.C. Milan) and Zinédine Zidane (Juventus) to name a few. For many years Italy dominated (before 1982: 17 wins, 3 losses and 6 draws), while from 1982 the French team had not lost a single game against Italy (with 5 wins and 4 draws) until the 2006 World Cup final, which Italy won on penalties. France would remain unbeaten against Italy within 90 minutes until UEFA Euro 2008, when Italy beat them 2–0 to eliminate them at the group stage. Several other games remain in the memory of football fans and have put their mark on the World Cup and of the European Football Championship. Among them, the 2006 World Cup Final, when the Italians defeated the French 5–3 in the penalty shoot-out, after an 1–1 draw, and the 2000 European Championship, won by France with an extra-time golden goal by David Trézéguet. ==Games== * (a) Italy wins the 2006 FIFA World Cup after penalties (5–3) * (b) Golden goal by David Trézéguet, France wins the 2000 European Championship * (c) France wins the quarter-final after penalties (4–3) and later wins the 1998 World Cup * (d) Goals by Michel Platini and Yannick Stopyra, France qualifies for the quarter-finals * (e) Bernard Lacombe scores one of the fastest goal in history, but Italy wins. * (f) Italy wins the quarter-final and later wins the 1938 FIFA World Cup * (g) First international match ever for Italy 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「France–Italy football rivalry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
