Watch England Vs Italy quarter final 2012
Previous Meetings:The last time these two met was during the group stages of the 1980 Championships. Italy played out a 1-0 win which eliminated the English from the competition.
Likely Line-Ups-
England: Hart, Johnson, Terry, Lescott, Cole, Milner, Gerrard, Parker, Young, Welbeck, Rooney
Italy: Buffon, Abate, Bonucci, Barzagli, Balzaretti, De Rossi, Motta, Marchisio, Pirlo, Cassano, Di Natale.
Key Player (England) – Steven Gerrard. Gerrard has been the best player for England so far and has been key to everything England have done well. Claiming 3 assists and performing the captain’s role, Gerrard will need to once again be on his best form to help England conquer the Italians. So far he has controlled the game and his positioning and smart use of the ball has helped England to be solid in defence, whilst his crossing has been dangerous. England will hope that he remains playing like this and doesn’t try and do too much and begin resorting to the Hollywood ball he is occasionally guilty of.
Key Player (Italy) – Andrea Pirlo. This isn’t the most talented Italian team, but it is functional and in the middle of the park they have one of the world’s greatest midfielders. Keeping Pirlo quiet will keep Italy quiet. Having broken the deadlock with a change of pace and pass to set up Di Natale against the Spanish, scoring a free kick against the Croatians, and taking the corner which opened the scoring against the Irish, this Italian team needs Pirlo, because without him, they don’t look like scoring.
