Match
France developed a rhythm early and completely out classed an unorganized Italian squad who seemed to be unsure of what they were doing at this competition.
France dominated the first half while scoring three goals from their many chances. They lowered the pressure in the second half and virtually cruised though allowing Italy to save some face with a goal in the waning minutes.
