This is definitely the game to watch for Group D. England and Italy have a great respect for each other and many critics are expecting the game to be carefully played by the two former World Cup champions. According to the Telegraph, the "possession will be crucial amid the stifling conditions."

The England coach told the Telegraph, "We always look to be dominant. We've been studying Italy since the draw was made and we know quite a lot about the Italian players, where they like to play and what they're good at, and we've tried to give the players the best picture we can."

England and Italy's last encounter was back in 2012 European Championship in Kiev. Italy won the game on penalties after a 0-0 draw. In the game, Italy largely had the possession and just needed the extra time to get the goals in at the penalties.  

Italy coach Prandelli thinks that the midfield will be the battleground that Italy must take possession of to win the game.

He said during Friday's pre-game press conference, "I don't want to talk about the opposition too much, but they have personality and psychological strength, they're good at running, are a fast team, and recently I've seen players with great technical skills and a lot of creativity. The attackers in particular are able to exploit space, so we are going to have to be very careful in our marking. Controlling the midfield will be the key."
