Dunno, did you?
Iâd say heâd love a cut of you , plenty of eating there
Mario Balotelli.
It was also reported that the entire Italy squad waited in the dressing room before getting on the team bus for Prandelli to finish his Press conference â all except for Balotelli, who sat on the bus by himself.
Tough time for you mate. Those you one loved have let you down. Youâll be alright though, weâll get you through it.
I gave up on Balotelli a long time ago, heâs a vile cunt and deserves all the abuse he gets in Italy. Time and time again he lets the people down who have done the most for him. Prandelli has always stood by him, stuck up for him and put his trust in him and he has done so knowing well the risks involved and the criticism that will come with this and Balotelli doesnât even have the decency to show a smidgen of respect for him at a difficult time.
That will hopefully be the end for him in an Italian jersey, Milan should send him to the Primavera as well.
De Rossi has laid into to Balotelli now as well.
Daniele De Rossi slammed Mario Balotelli. âWe need real men, not Panini stickers or characters.â
The Roma midfielder spoke to La Repubblica after Italyâs World Cup elimination, sealed by a 1-0 defeat to Uruguay.
âThere were certainly components that affected the result, like the heat or the refereeing, but we must not cling to these things,â said De Rossi.
âWe must forget about all this quickly. Actually, I take that back: we should remember well what went wrong and begin again with real men.
âWe need real men, not Panini stickers or characters. These are of no use to the Nazionale.â

Totti was dead right about this little shit.
Chewy Luis.
ate the blues
Mario Balotelli has had the most sickening and disgusting racial abuse hurled at him from the terraces and stands of football grounds in Italy in the past. I really do fear Mario will be made the most convenient of scapegoats for Italyâs demise today and there will be a fresh onslaught of racial abuse directed at him.
flesh that out mate, why is his racial abuse the most sickening racial abuse?tell us about the different levels of racial abuse and why his is the worst, examples please
This is what poor Mario was subjected to little over a month ago.
21 May 2014
Italyâs World Cup preparations suffered a major embarrassment on Wednesday when police were forced to disperse supporters after racial abuse was aimed at the teamâs star striker Mario Balotelli.
Balotelli was shocked to hear at least one fan shout out âFing N*â as he took part in a sprinting exercise with his team-mates at the Coverciano complex near Florence.
The 23-year-old Balotelli, who was less than 50 metres away when the insults were hurled, immediately complained to nearby team-mates, and police were called to break up a group of around 20 fans including schoolchildren who had gathered in a street overlooking Coverciano to watch training.
Afterwards, team-mate Ciro Immobile said: âIn 2014, we shouldnât need to be talking about racism again.
âWe didnât speak to Mario about it afterwards because I think he agrees with me, we do not want to give any importance to these people.
âAt the moment, there is a problem with chants about black people. Fortunately, Mario was very calm. We had a meeting when we met up about behaviour and not reacting, and he acted the right way.
âWe know it is a very bad thing but we donât want to give publicity for the people who do it.â
Yesterday, Balotelli limited himself to telling team-mate Claudio Marchisio âI only ever get this in Rome or Florence.â
Italy has a long-standing problem with racism and Balotelli was abused by Roma fans during a game for AC Milan in 2013.
He made a âshhâ gesture with his lips after he and team-mate Kevin Prince-Boateng were greeted by monkey noises and Balotelli said afterwards he would walk off the pitch if he encountered it again.
Immobile, who could partner Balotelli up front when they play England in their first match of the World Cup in Manaus on June 14, added: âIâm not ashamed to be Italian because of this but I am sad when these things happen. We should try to use our role to improve behaviour, so people donât do it.â
The incident took place less than an hour into the second day of manager Cesare Prandelliâs World Cup bootcamp, at around 10.45am local time.
The manager himself was not close to Balotelli at the time and said he did not hear any racial slur, though he said he did hear other messages of encouragement for his striker.
id like to understand what the hierarchy of racism is mate, you said it was the most sickening

:rolleyes:
Racial abuse is sickening full stop. What Mario has been subjected to in Italy, his country just beggars belief.
Post reported.
I think thatâs a given but im glad you have rowed back from the hyperbole of your initial point

He brings it on himself. Anglo Ogbonna hasnât had any notable abuse and he has been a regular in the national teams for a number of years. Balotelli is poison.
Football Association chairman Greg Dyke believes Prince Harry could have inspired England to better results if he had attended games against Italy and Uruguay, as well as the final fixture against Costa Rica
Its certainly a fair comment. The timing was awkward though with Royal Ascot on last week.
Mario Balotelli has hit back at his detractors by posting an emotional message on social media.
The Italy forward was substituted at half time of his teamâs 1-0 defeat to Uruguay and has been the subject of fierce criticism following the Azzurriâs World Cup elimination.
Responding to those pointing the finger of blame in his direction, the 23-year-old implied that racism is at the heart of the vitriol being aimed his way and told critics to find another scapegoat.
âI am Mario Balotelli, Iâm 23 years old and I did not choose to be Italian.â Balotelli wrote on Instagram. âI wanted it strongly because I was born in Italy and Iâve always lived in Italy.
âI was hoping for a lot from this World Cup and I am sad, angry and disappointed with myself.
âYes, maybe I could have scored a goal against Costa Rica, youâre right, but then what? What is the problem after that?
âMaybe thatâs what you all wanted to say? Donât blame it all on me this time because Mario Balotelli have given everything for the national team and has done nothing wrong on a personal level.
âSo go and look for another excuse because Mario Balotelli has his conscience in place and is ready to move forward stronger than before, with his head high.
âHe is proud to have given everything for his country. Or maybe, as you say, I am not Italian. The Africans would never heap everything on one of their âbrothers.â Never.
âIn this sense us blacks, as you call us, are light-years ahead.
âShame is not that you can miss a goal or run more or less. Shame is those things [I have mentioned].â
Always the victim, the fact that he canât bring himself to realise that his attitude was disgraceful in this World Cup really shows how deluded he really is. Itâs time for him to grow up and realise his problems are his own doing, the constant waterworks and victimhood that comes out everytime he fails has been overplayed and he has exhausted any sympathy he might have left in Italy. Balotelli doesnât have an Italian mindset, he doesnât understand the work and focus he needs to bring to his team.
If he thinks heâs had it tough in his career just wait until he gets back to Italy this summer, he is public enemy no.1.
