Countdown for Italy debut in the 2014 FIFA World Cup!  Italy Head Coach Cesare Prandelli having a double training session in Mangaratiba on Wednesday 11 June  with the Azzurri ahead of the debut against England on Saturday 14 June.

As reported by the Italian Football Federation, the first session begins at 9:30 am local time (2:30 pm Italian time) and will be open to the press for the first 60 minutes.  The conditions of Marco Verratti have to be checked since he hasn’t taken part in the last sessions due to a slight case of the flu, while goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu, who was back training with his teammates yesterday, seems to have fully recovered from the rib problem that kept him at rest during the past few days.

Italy with a disappointed draw in the friendly against Luxembourg.  Italy  Head Coach Cesare Prandelli making final tests ahead of the FIFA World Cup in Brazil.  Surely, it is a disappointed  draw considering Luxembourg is not a strong team .  Moreover, Luxembourg in the 112th position in the FIFA World Cup  Ranking.   It’s just  a fact that Italy have not reached their highest peak and the hope for the fans is to see Italy react in their debut against England on June 14 at the Arena Amazonia in Manaus.

Italy opened the score in the 9th minute.  The assist by forward Mario Balotelli  to midfielder Claudio Marchisio defeating Luxembourg goalkeeper Anthony Moris with a headed shot in the center from close range.

Incredible so, Luxembourg equalizing just 5 minutes before the game!  In the 85th minute following a corner conceded by Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini.  The assist made by forward Mario Mutsch finding defender Maxine Chanot ready for the headed shot defeating Italy goalkeeper Gigi Buffon in the trop right corner.  Nothing to do for Buffon while immediate celebration by Chanot removing his shirt and sending kisses to the fans.

Positive points seeing forward Antonio Cassano showing determination.  Cassano started as a substitute in the 54th minute replacing midfielder Marco Verratti.  Fans hoping to see the expected dynamic duo Balotelli-Cassano shining in the World Cup.

Italy’s architect and ruler in the midfield Andrea Pirlo was replaced in the 72nd minute by Fiorentina midfielder Alberto Aquilani.  Pirlo leaving the pitch among the ovation of the fans.

In the 78th minute, Prandelli also testing Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne who replaced Antonio Candreva.

Testing also for Inter defender Andrea Ranocchia replacing Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci in the 79th minute.
