Wayne Rooney is England's main man. This will be his third World Cup, but he's yet to score in the tournament and if he wants to be known as world class then he has to shine on the biggest stage of all. What more motivation can you have?

He has not been in great form for Manchester United this season, largely because of fitness, and is still lacking match sharpness but should come good for England. The emergence of Raheem Sterling should be something to keep an eye on, given the injury to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain but realistically, if England are to do well then Rooney must show up.
MR: It's almost too easy to pick out Pirlo as the man to watch and it already has been noted that England will take special care of him. As such, Cesare Prandelli is likely to play another playmaking genius alongside him in Marco Verratti and it is perhaps he who will prove a handful for the English.
Genius with his geometric passes and a much more tenacious approach than Pirlo, he's young, he's determined and his vision on the pitch, coupled with his tactical intelligence, may well prove key. That will especially be true if Ciro Immobile starts as the duo share a certain chemistry having played together for Pescara.
England are desperate to adopt an attacking approach but with Verratti on the pitch, it will be harder than ever for Hodgson's men to dominate possession, while then PSG man's defence-splitting passes can penetrate the most resolute of defences.
