    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.

  • Round 16 - ITALY V AUSTRIA
    Round 16 - ITALY v AUSTRIA BEST BET Italy to win ($1.50) The best team of the knockout stages, Italy’s momentum and fantastic unity should carry them to victory. BEST VALUE First Scorer - Ciro Immobile - Italy ($3.80) Immobile is in great form, scoring twice in the first three games. He’ll get plenty of chances to score first. FULL MATCH PREVIEW UEFA Euro 2020 Round of 16 Wembley Stadium, London Sun 27 Jun 5:00 Broadcaster: Optus Sport Head-to-Head: Italy ($1.50), Draw ($3.90), Austria ($7) Italy World Ranking: 7 Austria World Ranking: 23 Group A Results – Italy (First – 3 wins) Italy 3-0 Turkey Italy 3-0 Switzerland Italy 1-0 Wales Top Scorer: 2 - Ciro Immobile, Manuel Locatelli Group C Results – Austria (Second – 2 wins, 1 loss) Austria 3-1 North Macedonia Netherlands 2-0 Austria Austria 1-0 Ukraine Top Scorer: 1 - Marko Arnautović, Christoph Baumgartner, Michael Gregoritsch, Stefan Lainer Summary: Ranked as only a half-chance of winning the tournament coming in, Italy were arguably the most impressive team of the of the knockout stages and now look a real chance of going all the way. Roberto Mancini has this team playing as a club-like unit, a genuine point of difference in international football. They lose their home ground advantage for this match but that shouldn’t bother them. Every part of this Italian side looks well-tuned, especially in attack, where Ciro Immobile, Andrea Belotti and Lorenzo Insigne are working in harmony. Austria can be very proud of their tournament – defeating North Macedonia and Ukraine – but their defeat to the Netherlands showed they’re a cut below Europe’s very best.
