It seems that France-Italy are always paired together in either the knockout stages or qualifying for major tournaments.
I can't remember the last time Italy played England at a major tournament to be honest.

It's really rare...
They have never met in a World Cup, unless you count the 3rd place match in World Cup 1990. Italy won 2-1. Personaly I don't consider 3rd place games as real games.
They met once at the Euros in the group stage in 1980 also in Italy. Italy won 1-0.
That's it!
Edit: England beat Italy 2-0 at Le Tournoi. Does that count!?
