France has very good potential, just seems players don't use it all the time. In the last game they played as we were expecting Brazil to play, with creative touches and a lot of invention and I think they can surprise us again.
The both of them are teams that maybe don't seem as strong as others because they are like hiding their good qualities. Some of the games they play are boring, and this confuses the audience, because in football impression is everything, so we notice more Argentina or Brazil because they score a lot or play entertaining games instead of noticing teams that are steadily going on and doing nothing superfluous.
Germany has never won against Italy. Stats clearly say it. Last time, months ago, it was 4-1 for Italy. I can be wrong, but I bet Italy will win in a final against France. Unless they screw up everything.

You bring up a very interesting point of view. My say to that is, never underestimate the power of the home team.
I see a Germany - France final.
