Thanks. Great build up to the first game

How did the Chelsea players, Jorginho and Emerson, end up playing for Italy even though they are born in Brazil?

I’d love to see Italy win this with Mancini in charge.
I’ll be rooting for them after England.

None of the usual suspects for me so I’m going for Finland…if not engerrrrrllllland

Every country does it

Every country does it

It seems to be very popular with Brazilians though.
Could Fernandinho have played with England as an example.

 

[AlgarveBlu]

Have always followed Italy more than England because of my dad - only time I think I ever saw him cry was when they lost to Argentina in Italia 90 at the semis

Best of luck to Italy under the tutelage of Bobby Manc. Lots of blues will be rooting for them. Ciao Bobby.

Forza AZZURI

No. He plays in a sky blue shirt for his club.

Micah on MOTD Euro's preview show tonight naming Mings and Trashfoot in his first 11 line-up for England.

Very sad someone like Mings gets the nod. Ben White did more in his brief cameo than Mings has done all season. Mistake waiting to happen.
