Saturday Game of the Day: England vs. Italy
The Azzurri will be led by dynamic striker Mario Balotelli. Gianluigi Buffon, the hero of 2006, is still in goal, making his fifth World Cup team. England, champions at home in 1966, is led, once again, by Wayne Rooney who has yet to produce anything but a red card in two previous World Cups. In 2010, England tied the United States in group play, and finished second, going on to lose to Germany 4-1 (a game remembered by the English for a disallowed equalizing goal). Aside from Rooney and Steve Gerrard, the Three Lions are relying on youth. The last time England made it past the quarterfinals was in 1990.

I'm taking the family to the beach today. They have no idea how much I want to see this game. To them, it's like missing a mid-season baseball game. At least I can catch the replay, and the night game.
