Manaus: During the years of preparation for the world cup 2014, England thought that the game against Italy in Manaus would be the opportunity of a rematch for the Euro2012. But apparently this was a false hope. And in the 50th minute Mario Balotelli’s goal broke again the hearts of English supporters.
