M.Balotelli: England's national team has no chance in the World Cup

Italian national team and "Milan" club leader Mario Balotelli believes that the English have no chance in the World Cup.

The English national team will compete in Group D, where the Italians also play. Uruguay and Costa Rica will also fight for a place in the next stage, but M. Balotelli does not believe in the English chances of advancing to the final.

"I do not see the English national team as a team that can win the World Cup," said the 23-year-old footballer. "They have good players, but they are not competitors for Italy.

"I'm not saying we are the favorites of the tournament, but we have the mentality and many experienced players, which England does not have," concluded the European vice-champion.

The first match of Group D will take place between England and Italy on June 15.
