Without a doubt it would be a historic game, as they never faced each other for the national teams. And it would certainly be the main game at the World Cup. But they can even meet in semi-finals, so if both teams are doing well, the probability of playing against each other is great. We'll see how things go in December, as the club season is halfway through.

Either the final or nothing.
