England
victorious over Italy.
England managed to
beat Italy 2-1 last night. This will please England fans as they were
knocked out of the UEFA Euro Championship by Italy in a penalty shoot
out.
Ashley Young was
the only player to feature who played on that night. Jack Butland,
19, became the youngest goalkeeper to earn a full cap. The other
players making their first appearances for England in this completely
new side were - Norwich's John Ruddy, Manchester United's Tom
Cleverley, Chelsea's Bertrand and Tottenham's Jake Livermore.
Italy was the first
to score after dominating the early play. Daniele De Rossi headed the
ball past Butland from an Alessandro Diamanti corner.
England was quick
to reply, also scoring from a corner. This time Frank Lampard's
corner was converted well by Phil Jagielka. Jagielka got low and
scored with a driving header.
The game looked set
for a draw, but England gained momentum and Gary Cahill scored only
to find out it had been disallowed. England substitute Jermaine Defoe
was put through by a James Milner pass and scored in style.

Should England keep
this side of young players? Do you think England can win the next
World Cup?
