Italy can destroy England but Sterling will probably drop in the box because that's all he's good for so you wouldn't know...
On natural ability Italy piss all over this England team
You and I both know that is such bait, but I'll throw this out there...
Italy are a great team, with a manager moulding them into a sum greater than their parts. They are an efficient and well drilled team with a couple of star players, but it's not like this Italy team is up there with their best ever on natural ability. It's nowhere close.
On natural ability, I'd argure England are far better - look at those attacking options, seriously - but England are being held back by a negative, cautious manager and the spectre of those decades of setbacks.
The most interesting aspect of the final I think will be that Italy aren't the defensive team they usually are, so it will probably be England that are defending even though their attack is better. Italy still have very good CBs and this will be problematic for England.
