Balotelli made the jovial request via his twitter account in the aftermath of England losing 2-1 to Uruguay in another Group D match, a result that left England’s chances of progressing from the group stage hanging on a thread.

Despite failing to register a point after two matches so far, England could still qualify for the World Cup second round but only if they defeat Costa Rica in their final group match and Italy win their remaining group matches against Costa Rica and Uruguay.

Balotelli, who is a former player of English champions Manchester City and has been linked with a move to Arsenal, scored the winner in Italy’s 2-1 win over England earlier at the mundial.
