    World Cup 2014, Great Start for Italy. Make us Dream Again, Guys! Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) World Cup 2014, Great Start for Italy. Make us Dream Again, Guys! Giulia Madron (June 16, 2014) Winning debut for Italy at the World Cup 2014 in Brazil. The “Azzurri” of Prandelli beat the English lions during the first game of round D thanks to the goals of Marchisio and Balotelli. Prandelli and Chiellini said it: you are going to see another Italy in the field. They meant it! The National Italian team inaugurated the World Cup 2014 [2] in Brazil with a bang. On Saturday the 12th, in Manaus, Italy played their first game of round D against England. A fearful rival but the “Azzurri” of Cesare Prandelli did not disappoint the fans and the success in Brazil confirmed the tradition of the positive results against the English who have not beaten Italy in official matches since 1977. A difficult start for Italy, which in the first minutes of the game struggled on the accelerations of the English lions. Giorgio Chiellini, who is not a fullback player, really suffered from the attacks of Raheem Sterling and Danny Wellbeck who scared the Italian goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu three times within the first 10 minutes. Convincing center field. Nothing to say about Italy’s center field. A tireless Candreva pushed in search of the shot, Marco Verratti never lost the ball and Andrea Pirlo acted as a movie director having the perfect vision of the whole game. And Claudio Marchisio scored (35’) with a harsh kick on the right corner that Joe Hart could not get.

Neither Leeds City nor United made it through to the last 16 of the competition until 1924, and it was 1950 before a quarter final spot was achieved. Don Revie’s tenure brought unprecedented success in the tournament with one win and three final defeats, but since then Leeds have managed just two semis.
