Look out England! Italy's Pirlo scores stunning free-kick
Watch out England, Andrea Pirlo's out to get you.
The Three Lions will kick off their World Cup campaign on June 14 against Pirlo's Italy.
And the bearded midfield maestro fired a massive warning shot at Roy Hodgson's men ahead of their Group D clash in Manaus with a scorching free-kick for Italian giants Juventus on their final Serie A game of the season against Cagliari on Sunday.
Taken from 27m out on eight minutes, Pirlo's rocket gave Cagliari goalkeeper Marco Silvestri little chance as it crashed off the crossbar and into the back of the net.
While there is some confusion over who scored the goal - some sources have credited Silvestri with an own goal because the ball deflected off his back after the ricochet off the bar, there's no doubting that even at the age of 35, Pirlo still has it.
Joe Hart, consider yourself warned.
