I've thought for a while that we'll beat Italy. I have no logical reason for this.

Law of averages maybe? We haven't made a habit of doing it in the past, so perhaps there's some kind of background idea that it's our turn.
I actually think there are more reasons than that. They've had one or two injuries and IMO they're a little short up front if Balotelli's their clear no.1 choice. It's still a talented side but IMO we have definite chances. Like other posters I reckon our main problem could well be our manager.

limate conundrum: England and Italy will cross swords in Manaus, the biggest city in the state of Amazonas, where the experts agree that battling the risk of dehydration will be a challenge all by itself. The searing temperatures and high humidity levels can cause excessive perspiration and a heightened loss of mineral salts, which research suggests has an impact on play. According to a recent study, a loss of water equivalent to two per cent of body weight can bring about a decrease in sporting performance close to 20 per cent. FIFA has taken precautions, however: should temperatures climb above 32C, the match referee, coordinator and doctor can decide to stop the game every 30 minutes to allow the players to recuperate and rehydrate.
Sounds like the perfect place to prepare for Qatar.

Replacing who?
Hopefully either Wiltshire or Wellbeck, though to be fair, despite his detractors, Wellback has done well at International level. Better than his "worldclass" team mate anyway.
Vaffanculo.
Ahhh... you must mean me! x
All joking aside, you're the reason I'm really happy that Wales are never in the picture.
He's Welsh, mate. Mind you, those Celts all look the same to me.
The Welsh are generally considered the poor man's Celt.
Not enough Gingers?
You said it.
You, probably.
correct.
Team: Hart, Johnson, Baines, Jagielka, Cahill, Gerrard, Henderson, Sterling, Welbeck, Rooney, Sturridge
