Really looking forward to this. I hope Mario starts. Im sure there will be plenty of banter between Joe, Joleon and Jimmy and Mario!!!

I think its key that we score, Italy are good at the back, we must get at them from the 1st minute.

I hope Mario scores a couple but England win 3-2, Just hope we dont go to penalties.

Mario can only take one for them

Plus joe can take one for us, they should make Mario go in the net for it

I think you'll see Lescott keep Balotelli firmly at bay on Sunday night. He'll get frustrated, do something a bit silly and get subbed or sent off. England to win that game 2-1

Such are the times I dread being half Italian/English & a City fan

I'm having a wedge on Mario to score. If he plays he will score in this one!

+1

I hope Joleon bullies Mario out of the game. that's one battle i can see us winning, others i'm not so sure of because Italy are a very good side. We can win if we play well and do everything right. They'll have five in midfield and we need to do the same because 4-4-2 against 3-5-2 wont work because we'll be overrun in midfield, not just in numbers but also with pace as Parker is the slowest player in the tournament.

But we can do it. COME ON ENGLAND!

are you sure Balotelli will not play from the bench? I vote for Cassano and Di Natale or Giovinco and Di Natale. Balotelli is good as extra weapon in last 15 minutes.

Chiellini is injuried, you could change that good with a "fair" :D
