England v Italy: Several Striking Football Boot Choices
It's the first game in the Amazon jungle of Manaus, when England face the four-time world champion Italy in the Arena Amazonia. We will notice several striking football boot choices during the match, as several England players wear the lower tier Magista and Mercurial Boots, while Cassano will stand out on the pitch using a special Italy paint job Diadora boot.
England will play with the simplistic Nike England 2014 World Cup Home Kit, while Italy will use the classical Puma Italy 2014 World Cup Home Jersey. Both teams will play with monochromatic kit colors, the Three Lions’ in an all-white kit and Italy in an all-blue kit.

It is certainly no exaggeration to say that Nike dominates the England 2014 World Cup Football Boot squad. With Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck, Daniel Sturridge, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Rickie Lambert Nike has signed all England strikers, which will guarantee the US-giant to dominate the offensive line of the Three Lions'.
Although Nike just released the spectacular knitted football boots with a high top boot design (Mercurial Superfly and Magista Obra), several England players opted out for the Magista Opus boot, which is similar to the last CTR silo.
Joe Hart will showcase the latest Umbro UX-1 Cleat, which was released in early May 2014. Apart from that, Adam Lallana is the only player to wear not an Adidas or Nike Boot, the spectacular two-colored Puma evoSPEED 2014 World Cup Boot.
Adidas signed players such as Gary Cahill, Leighton Baines, Phil Jones and Phil Jagielka, but loose the battle against the opponent Nike.
