THE Italians reckon Sunday’s big clash with England will be a “battle of the bad boys”.
Football fans believe it will be a fight between Manchester City ace Mario Ballotelli and rival United star Wayne Rooney.
Fans across Italy are worried about England’s growing confidence and form in the tournament.
Virtually every TV news report and newspaper described Sunday’s quarter-final as a “duel” between love cheats Balotelli, 21, and Roo.
La Repubblica headlined Sunday’s match as a “battle between bad boys” saying that “double-souled Balotelli would be able to take on his ‘own’ English”.
Top selling Gazzetta Dello Sport’s said England are “without the quality of other competing nations but they are solid and they have grown throughout the tournament”.
