Both England and Italy had a decent run in the tournament and would likely to extend their winning run in the tournament and set up a semifinal clash with Germany.

Here are some players who can make it happen for their team in the match: Some players to watch out for:

England:

Wayne Rooney: He could not play in the first two matches due to suspension and the last match was his first match. He scored the only winning goal of the match. The Manchester United striker is expected to do the same for the team today and Italy would have a strategy in mind to stop him.

John Terry: He has been a livewire in the field for England in this tournament. Has been rock solid at the back and made things really difficult for the opposition players. He would be responsible to avert dangers and stop the Italian attack.

Italy:

Andrea Pirlo: The Juventus midfielder has had a good tournament so far and look to continue his form. Pirlo is very good with his ball distribution and is great when it comes to taking set pieces. He can be game changer in today’s match.

Di Natale: The Udinese striker has been at the top of his game this tournament and England would be wary of that. He has got great speed and is also very good when it comes to finishing.
