All depends on the ref. When you get refs at World Cup level that don't take that kind of nonsense you will not see players dive as seen in your Italy-France example.
At the U-20, the refs were inexperienced and egotistic so they were easily conned and called EVERYTHING. The U-20 is an irrelevant tournament on the soccer calendar and FIFA treats it as such with the worst officials.
