Also, I notice the press here in England saying that 'we're in the same position as Italy who will also struggle with the heat'
...because the temperature in Italy is just like England, right? We have Mediterranean heat all summer long in this country.
Apart from the fact that Italy have chosen a base camp in the north miles and miles (If memory serves it's over 1000?) from any of their games AND in one of the hottest and most humid regions, with all 3 games being in the north in daytime kickoffs. England only have 1 game in the north in a daytime slot as far as I know, and have actually based their camp relatively close to their games. It's been well publicised that the Italy camp have royally cocked up their preparations. So yes, England and Italy won't be in the same boat; Italy will likely be a good deal worse off. Sorry for getting facts in the way of your rant though.
