England
One thing that England has been known for in the World Cup is disappointing their fans. They usually make it out of the group stage and then flop. This time around they may not even get out of the group stage. The team has Wayne Rooney but he has been continual disappointment in World Cup matches. In fact, he has never scored in a World Cup match. The team does have other players like Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard but if Rooney doesn’t score this team is in trouble.
Italy
The Italian team is full of veterans who could be playing in their last World Cup. The team has Gianluigi Buffon in goal and they have Andrea Pirlo in the midfield. How far this team goes though probably depends upon the enigmatic Mario Balotelli. If he plays well this team could be a challenger to teams like Brazil, Argentina and Germany but if he does nothing this team might not get out of the group stage.
