Italy striker Mario Balotelli has dismissed the threat of World Cup group opponents England.
The AC Milan striker has claimed that Roy Hodgson's men don't have the 'mentality or the experience' to win in Brazil.
"I don't look at England as a team that can win the World Cup," he is reported as saying by the Daily Mail.
"They have some good players, but they are no real rivals for Italy.
"I am not saying that Italy are favourites, but we have the mentality and experienced players to surprise people - I don't think England have that.
"We have players who have won the World Cup, I don't think England have a player who knows what it is like to play past the quarter-final."
