Italy in blue, all white again for France in final

BERLIN, July 6 (Reuters) Italy will sport their familiar home blue colours while France will again play in white in Sunday's World Cup final in Berlin, FIFA said today.

It will be the fourth match in a row at the finals that France, known as ''Les Bleus'', will wear white shirts. Italy are the designated ''home'' team for the final, which kicks off at 1800 GMT at the Olympiastadion.

Germany (white) and Portugal (standard red) will both play in their usual colours for Saturday's third-place match in Stuttgart.
