A certain Gabriel Paletta is playing for Italy tonight. Remember he was the young Argentinian who Rafa bought back in 2006? Seem to recall only one game of his - the league cup tie against Arsenal at Anfield in January 2007 when they thrashed us 6-3 (Baptista scoring 4). Paletta had a shocker especially under the high ball. He was all over the place. Tim Vickery the BBC South American Football Correspondent said his move to Liverpool came to early in his career so it will be fascinating to see how much he has progressed tonight.
Diego the teams are...
England: Hart, Johnson, Cahill, Jagielka, Baines, Gerrard, Henderson, Welbeck, Sterling, Rooney, Sturridge.
Italy: Sirigu, Darmian, Paletta, Barzagli, Chiellini, De Rossi, Pirlo, Verratti, Marchisio, Candreva, Balotelli.
