Overview

This match will determine the final two positions in Pool A with the winner finishing 1st, and the loser second.

Article - Pool A Preview

"It is a game to decide who will be top of the group, however we know that we can play Italy again in the Quarter-Final if we both make it, so it will be interesting. It is nice to play a special game like this at home, but 300 [appearances] is only a number and I am just happy to be in the French national team."
