This reminds me of the last time Italy won.
I did a sweep at the last sixteen stage and when all the tickets were gone - to much ammusment I was left with Italy. Along with the World Cup winner's prize - there was a prize for the team who scored the most goals. Italy up to that point were hopeless, had not scored a goal and only progressed because of other results.
When I ended winning both prizes - I was accused of fixing the draw.
Among my many predictions - after their poor start, I did advise not to write France off. But I think Italy do look to be the strongest all round team out of the two finalists.
