Before the World Cup began, Italy's Mario Balotelli said that he didn't see England winning the tournament. He helped prove that widely held belief correct by scoring the winning goal in Italy's opening match against them and the Three Lions have now followed that with a loss to Uruguay, leaving them to pull up the rear in Group D with zero points.

据雅虎新闻网报道，意大利球员巴洛特利（Mario Balotelli）赛前表示自己未曾见过英格兰问鼎世界杯。在意大利与英格兰的开幕战上巴洛特利表现神勇，而号称三狮军团的英格兰队却负于乌拉圭队，在D组积分垫底。

England need to win their final match againstCosta Rica, but first they need Costa Rica to lose to Italy. So Balotelli has tweeted a special request related to such an event.

英格兰务必要赢下哥斯达黎加才有望出线，而在此之前，哥斯达黎加还得先输给意大利。于是，在巴洛特利的推特上就有了这样一条特殊的推文。

要是我们（意大利）赢了哥斯达黎加，我想要英国女王吻我，吻我面颊就好。
