Mick Iacovitti believes Christian Vieri is a hot tip for the golden boot.

Italy have a great team, and are one of the more favoured European teams.
Mick Iacovitti took time out from his busy Italian restaurant, to give us the lowdown on the Italian team.
| Mick Iacovitti - Italy | | How is Italy preparing for the World Cup? | | Italy's preparation has been very good, they've had excellent friendlies, all the players are fit young and experienced. | | How do you think Italy will do in the World Cup? | | Very well, we have a strong defence, and if Vieri stays fit we have the most exciting strike force in the World cup, we also have Totti, Montello who are hot at the moment. I think we'll win the World cup, the climate will suit their game and the pressure's not on them, like it is on France and Argentina. | | Who is Italy's best player and why? | | Christian Vieri is firing on all cylinders at the moment, he's scored 30 goals for Milan and he's my hot tip for the golden boot. | | What do you think to the England side? | | England have a very good chance, it all depends on Eriksson, he's knows how to win games with his tactics. It's England's strongest side since 1990. Eriksson is prepared to play for the draw if he has to. | | Where will you be watching the matches? | | In the restaurant or at home, depending on when I work. |
