Balotelli names Roma as surprise Scudetto pick and reveals near-Juventus moveMario Balotelli has made Inter the team to beat in Serie A next season, but the striker named Roma as his surprise pick to gatecrash the title race.According to Sport Mediaset, via TuttoMercatoWeb, Balotelli, now with Al-Ittifaq in Dubai, predicted champions Inter to remain at the summit while singling out an outsider.Asked whether Napoli, Milan and Juventus were genuine contenders, he replied: Yes, but I want to add a surprise: Roma. On the reigning champions, he was unequivocal: Inter remain the team to beat.That verdict chimed with his admiration for former Inter teammate Cristian Chivu, now in the San Siro dugout.He was always switched on, even as a player, already a coach on the pitch, tactically ready and intelligent, Balotelli said of the man he won the 2010 treble alongside.Mario Balotelli acts as fashion model for KidSuper runway show.Balotelli reveals near-Juventus move and backs Allegri at NapoliThe former Manchester City man also lifted the lid on a transfer that never materialised.Yes, after Manchester City. Then I ended up at Milan, so no regrets, it was a choice, he said. Of course, that Juventus side was strong.He had warm words, too, for Massimiliano Allegri as the coach starts afresh at Napoli. Recently Ive read a lot of criticism of him, but when I had him at Milan I liked him a great deal, Balotelli said. If hes still that man, hell do well.There was a more sombre note when talk turned to the national side. Balotelli remains Italys last World Cup scorer, a mark unbroken since 2014, with the Azzurri absent from a third straight tournament this summer, and he took no pride in it.Its nothing to be proud of, quite the opposite, its a sad thing, he said. Too many years have passed.

England is set to take on Norway at Miami Stadium on Saturday, July 11, in a quarterfinal matchup, as both teams look to seal a spot in the final four at the 2026 World Cup. England is coming off a satisfying victory over Mexico at Mexico City Stadium, a game played under difficult circumstances against the host nation, at altitude and in a hostile atmosphere. Still, England came up with one of the more inspired performances in its national team history, getting past Mexico, 3-2, in the round of 16. England also had to come from behind late in the round of 32 against DR Congo, where a brace from Harry Kane in the 75th and 86th minutes saved England from a shocking upset. For Norway, a late winner from Erling Haaland got the team past a strong Ivory Coast squad in the round of 32, before it took on Brazil in the round of 16. A brace from Haaland allowed Norway to stun Brazil and reach the final eight. Who Are The Referees For England vs. Norway? French referee Clment Turpin will be the head official between Norway and England in Miami. The highly experienced UEFA referee has officiated many high-level games on both the club and international scene, including the 2022 Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool. He has also officiated multiple French domestic finals, a Europa League final, European Championship matches, World Cup qualification playoffs and many more high-stakes matches. This is Turpins third World Cup and his fourth assignment of this tournament. He has already officiated England-Croatia, Paraguay-Australia and Colombia-Ghana, which was a round of 32 match. This will be the highest-level match Turpin has officiated at the World Cup level. He previously handled a round of 16 match in 2022 between Brazil and South Korea, but he has never officiated a later round at the World Cup until this quarterfinal matchup. His fellow countrymen Nicolas Danos and Benjamin Pags will be his assistants, while Spains Alejandro Hernndez Hernndez will be the fourth official. Referee: Clment Turpin (France) Assistant Referee 1: Nicolas Danos (France) Assistant Referee 2: Benjamin Pags (France) Fourth Official: Alejandro Hernndez Hernndez (Spain)
