Brief Profile:
England
How they qualified
England finished top of European
Group H to reach the 2014 FIFA
World Cup after securing victory
on the final matchday against
Poland, banishing the demons of
four decades earlier when a draw
against the same opponents saw the
Three Lions miss out on the 1974
tournament.
The road to Brazil 2014 was not as
smooth as their campaign to reach
South Africa, where they won nine
of their ten matches on the way to
the 2010 finals. Even though Roy
Hodgson guided his side to an
undefeated campaign, automatic
qualification evaded England until
the final match at Wembley. Two
draws against closest rivals
Ukraine, as well as stalemates in Warsaw and Podogorica, left England fans nervous until
captain Steven Gerrard put the home match against Poland beyond doubt with a late goal to
double his side's advantage and seal qualification.
FIFA World Cup finals history
England have appeared at 13 editions of the FIFA World Cup, including seven of the last
eight. They were below-par at South Africa in 2010, narrowly qualifying from their group
with a victory in the final match against Slovenia, before being outclassed 4-1 by Joachim
Low‟s Germany at the Round of 16 stage. The Three Lions have been FIFA World Cup
winners once, in 1966 when they were hosts, but have since suffered a succession of early
exits. Sir Bobby Robson came closest to matching the achievements of Sir Alf Ramsey‟s
„Wingless Wonders‟, guiding England to the semi-finals at Italy 1990 only to be knocked out
on penalties by Germany.
Italy
How they qualified
Often below par
during qualifying
before raising their
game at final
tournaments, Italy
went about things
differently for once
by taking imperious
control of Group B
in the European
Zone. Their task appeared potentially tricky when they were drawn alongside Denmark, the
Czech Republic and Bulgaria, but La Nazionale surged through unbeaten and booked their
ticket to Brazil with time to spare, meaning they will head to the finals confident that their
internal revolution has been a success. After all, Cesare Prandelli seems to have consigned
catenaccio to the past. "It's now obvious that you can't get results without playing attractive
football," explained the coach when he first took over. Since then he has led the side to the
UEFA EURO 2012 showpiece and a 14th consecutive FIFA World Cup finals berth – all
while remaining faithful to an attacking style of play.
FIFA World Cup finals history
With four world titles to their name (1934, 1938, 1982 and 2006) and two runners-up slots
(1970 and 1994), Italy lie second only to Brazil on the all-time FIFA World Cup honours
board. La Squadra Azzurra are also the only team along with the Brazilians to have won the
competition twice in a row. Their 4-3 semi-final defeat of West Germany at Mexico 1970 is
widely regarded as one of the most spectacular matches in the history of the tournament.

Predicted Line-up

Historical Match-up:
1980 - Italy 1-0 England, Turin
England went to Euro '80 with a
squad full of winners. Thanks to the
success of Liverpool and
Nottingham Forest on the continent,
the players possessed an astonishing
19 European Cup winners' medals
between them. But an opening draw
against Belgium put Greenwood's
men under pressure to beat Italy on
their own turf. With Trevor Francis
unavailable through injury and Keegan flagging after a long season, England's hopes were
dashed by a late Marco Tardelli goal.
1990 - Italy 2-1 England, Bari
Both teams had suffered penalty shootout heartbreak in the semi-finals but it was Italy who
claimed third place. A shocking error from Peter Shilton, in his final appearance for England,
allowed Roberto Baggio to open the scoring in the second-half. Tony Dorigo crossed for
David Platt to head home his third goal of the tournament but, after Paul Parker hauled down
Salvatore Schillachi just before the end, the Italy striker made no mistake from the spot.
1997 - England 0-1 Italy, Wembley
Glenn Hoddle's gamble of
selecting Matt Le Tissier was
leaked to the media ahead of the
game and the spotlight was
firmly on the mercurial
Southampton forward in the
build-up to this World Cup
qualifier. Instead it was the
diminutive Chelsea man Gianfranco Zola who took centre-stage for the visitors, beating
David Seaman's deputy Ian Walker at his near post early on. The Italians held on to put
themselves in pole position to qualify for the following year's World Cup.
Facts & Trivia:
Sir Winston Churchill once said, "Italians lose wars as if they were football matches
and football matches as if they
were wars." Former Italian
international and Chelsea
player/manager, Gianluca Vialli,
said in "The Italian Job," "The
Italians play with their heads, and
the English play with their
hearts."
Only 8 nations have won the World Cup including Brazil, West Germany, Argentina,
Uruguay, Spain, France, and both Italy& England.
The Italian Derivation of “il Mister”
When the English first introduced football to Italy over a century ago, the early
teachers of the game were called “Mister.” Italian managers are still called “Mister”
as a token of respect. Ironically, one of the rare English managers who have worked
in Italy in the modern era, Roy Hodgson, is the current England manager.
Mr. Hodgson managed Internazionale from 1995 to 1997 and briefly in 1999. He
had a seventh and third place finish, respectively, and led Inter to the 1997 UEFA Cup
final. He also managed another Serie A club, Udinese, in 2001. Mr. Hodgson was
sacked after half a season in charge of the Friulian club.
Rare Tournament Play
It is surprising to learn that the two countries have rarely faced each other during
an international tournament. It has only happened three times before Euro 2012: 1976
Bicentennial Cup (USA), 1980 European Cup (Italy) and 1990 World Cup (Italy),
respectively.
* The last English competitive win was on 16 November 1977 at Wembley Stadium.
* Italy has never scored more than two goals in one game.
* England has scored three or more goals on four occasions
Frank Lampard has attempted the most shots without scoring a World Cup goal (39)
since 1966.
England have kept a clean sheet in 7 of their last 10 group games in World Cups.
Italy have conceded 14 goals from outside the box at the World Cup since 1966, more
than any other team.
In major tournaments against Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica, England have played
five games and won none (D2 L3)
Steven Gerrard is the only member of England's World Cup squad to have scored at
the tournament before (three goals).
Starlets to Watch:
England:
Luke Shaw
A highly-rated and impressive defender, Luke has been a regular with England since he was
15 after making his Three Lions debut for the U-16s in 2011.
Born in Surrey, the left-back is a product of the famous Southampton youth academy and was
in the Saints' first-team by the age of 18.
Extremely mobile and comfortable on the ball, Shaw is equally adept in defensive positions
as he is in supporting the attack and he quickly made a good impression on the Premier
League following his introduction in 2012.
Luke's England career started when he featured six times for the England U-16s in the
2010/11 campaign and he grabbed the opening goal against Uruguay in the Montaigu
Tournament in April 2011.
Further caps came at U-17 level, before he was called up to the U-21 squad in 2012 and has
since been a regular fixture in the team when fully fit. On 27 February this year, Shaw was
called up to the England senior side for the first time, for their friendly with Denmark. He
made his debut in the game, replacing Ashley Cole at half-time.
Ross Barkley
Everton midfielder Ross Barkley is a strong and skillful player and has represented England
at every stage from U-16 to senior level.
He was selected to play in the 2009 Montaigu Tournament and captained the team to success,
beating Germany 2–1 on penalties in the final. He also helped England win the 2010 UEFA
European Under-17 Football Championship with two goals en route to the final where
England beat Spain 2-1.
After a 2012/13 campaign which saw him have loan spells with Sheffield Wednesday and
Leeds United before returning to Everton to feature in the Premier League, he was picked for
the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey in June 2013. His performances in the tournament led
coach Peter Taylor to label him as „world class‟.
Taking that form into the 2013/14 season, Barkley scored his first competitive club goal in
the 2-2 draw at Norwich City on the opening day, days after getting on the scoresheet for
England Under-21s in the 6-0 thrashing of Scotland.
Three Lions manager Roy Hodgson subsequently handed the 19-year-old his first senior call-
up to the national side on 27 August 2013 ahead of FIFA World Cup™ qualifiers against
Moldova and Ukraine.
Alex Oxlade Chamberlain
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is a lively forward who rose to prominence with Southampton in
2010, earning a call-up to the England U-18 side in the process.
His continued good form for the Saints alerted the interest of Arsenal and he joined the
Gunners in the summer of 2011 having already been fast-tracked into Stuart Pearce‟s U-21
squad by that stage.
Nicknamed „The Ox‟, derived from the first part of his surname, as well as his physical
tenacity and powerful playing style, Oxlade-Chamberlain is the youngest English goalscorer
in UEFA Champions League history.
He made his debut for the senior England side on 26 May 2012 in a 1–0 win against Norway
in a friendly. Following this, he received a surprise call-up to the England squad for UEFA
EURO 2012, becoming the second youngest player ever to represent England in the European
Championships behind Wayne Rooney when he started in England's opening game against
France.
Oxlade-Chamberlain scored his first senior international goal, in a 5-0 victory over San
Marino in October 2012. He scored again in the return match against San Marino in March
last year, which England won 8-0. He also scored against Brazil in the official opening of the
refurbished Maracana in a 2-2 draw.
Italy:
Marco Veratti
Still only 21, Marco Verratti
already looks to possess the
finest attributes of two Italian
legends, combining Andrea
Pirlo's vision and ability to
dictate a game with Gennaro
Gattuso's drive, commitment
and thirst for victory.
Originally from Pescara,
Verratti turned professional
with his local club at 16,
following eight years spent in
the youth set-up. Just 5'5 tall
but extremely dynamic, he
was originally fielded as a
trequartista – a playmaker
sitting behind the centre-forward – but that all changed when Zdenek Zeman took over the
helm for the 2011/12 campaign. The then teenager was repositioned in front of the defence to
better organise the team's play, and he soon won praise for his rapid ball distribution and
capacity to vary Pescara's routes to goal.
Verratti's influence grew as the season unfolded and he helped steer the club to promotion
from Serie B, in the process earning himself the nickname 'The Pirlo of Abruzzo'.
Subsequently lured to Paris Saint-Germain by Carlo Ancelotti, he quickly secured a starting
spot in a line-up brimming with star names, and it was only a matter of time before Italy
came calling. A maiden cap swiftly followed on 15 August 2012, when Verratti featured in a
2-1 friendly loss to England at the age of 19.
Ciro Immobile
One of the success stories
of the 2013/14 Serie A
season, Ciro Immobile
owes his squad place to the
form that brought him 22
goals in 33 games and –
perhaps even more
crucially – to his
understanding with Torino
team-mate Alessio Cerci.
The Napoli-born forward
also has versatility on his
side, being able to play
across the attack, while also
boasting a knack for
dribbling free in tight areas
and unleashing vicious snap shots with both feet.
Immobile's route to the top has been anything but traditional, however. Brought through the
ranks at Sorrento and later Juventus, he featured just three times for Juve as he made his
professional debut with the Turin giants in 2008. From there, the centre-forward was loaned
out to Siena, Grosseto and finally Pescara, where he announced his talent in 2011/12 with 28
strikes in 38 outings that contributed heavily to his side's promotion to Serie A.
Immobile was on the move again the following season, enduring a tough year at Genoa
before signing for Torino last summer. It proved an excellent decision, and his partnership
with Cerci not only set sparks flying early on, but it improved as the season continued. They
finished the campaign as Italy's most prolific strike duo, with Immobile hitting 22 of their 33
goals overall to be crowned top scorer, and also weighing in with 13 assists.
Mattia De Sciglio
At just 21 years of age, Mattia De
Sciglio already has the maturity and
technical nous of a seasoned
veteran. The AC Milan youngster
has been a revelation over the past
couple of years in Italy, helped by
his club's increased focus on youth.
“I was born in Milan and came
through their youth system, and I've
always supported this club. Playing
for your home-town team is exactly
what you'd call a dream come true,”
said the versatile full-back, who has already been likened to former Rossoneri great Paolo
Maldini.
“It's an honour to be compared to a phenomenon like Maldini, but for me it ends there,” said
De Sciglio, keen to play down the parallels.
Quick, defensively sound and a good crosser of the ball, he can also play with both feet, and
was deployed in every position across the back four at youth level.
Milan's backroom staff are keen not to let the hype affect De Sciglio, but there is no escaping
the impressive speed of the youngster's ascent. Indeed, his Serie A debut came on 10 April
2012, with his first senior cap for Italy following less than a year later, on 21 March 2013, in
a 2-2 draw with Brazil.
During the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, the precocious defender took part in all three of
Italy‟s group encounters, as well as in the match for third place against Uruguay.
