Balotelli is one of the most mentally unstable players I have ever seen. He's still a teenager, and yet he's had more than a dozen incidents similar to this. I hope he doesn't go down the same path as Cassano, because he's got incredibly much potential.

When your own fans call you a monkey and tell you there's no such thing as a black Italian, etc, it's pretty bad whether he has mental issues or not.

Italian fans are racists. You don't see that in the other big leagues (EPL, Bundesliga, Ligue Un), thats why Serie A matches are not sold out, - cause real fans don't want to go to the stadiums anymore.

To the game: Dani Alvez showed the worst performance I have ever seen from him. The crosses were amateur-level.

Uhm, perhaps you don't remember all the racist shit in Spain with Eto'o involved (when he threatened to walk off the pitch etc)? It is fairly well spread out there as well. And the real fans are exactly the ones who goes to the stadiums in Italy. It's the casual people and families who doesn't go.

It was Juventus fans who called Balotelli shit like that in an incident quite a while ago (and they got punished for it). I strongly doubt there were any racist remarks today, because then Eto'o would have reacted strongly as well. It is of course extremely silly of the Inter supporters to boo at him when he's playing badly, but that doesn't justify his reactions. And there are plenty of examples of when he's behaved unprofessionally when there were nothing crowd-related going on at all (getting stupid red cards due to retarded retaliations, figthing with teammates and managers and such).

Fuck you Lippi if you don't select Cassano for the WC.

He didn't mention La Liga. Besides the Eto'o stuff I remember ESPN in US ran a segment on Carlos Kameni the goalkeeper for Espanyol about the racism he had to deal with. I don't know about the other leagues but EPL is pretty good with this stuff and the FA also cracks down really quickly whenever something does happen.

What a guy, lol.


I didn't saw that scene. What a guy ... sigh .... He's behaving like the most childish amateur i have ever seen ... For whatever the fans shout at him , he isn't allowed to throw his jersey like that cuz it's the club who sells his salary and and and... . I also remember him wearing a Milan jersey in an TV prank.

Still I'm sad because the second goal was after an obvious foul on Messi and the third was on offside. Ouch.

Barça didnt lose a game by 2 goals or more for 116 games, since the 4-1 against Madrid on 2008.


hahah are you seriously calling that a foul on messi?

and are you seriously blaming the goal on that foul?

Meh, Balotelli has still got a bit to go before he reaches Cassano's level of... hmm.. ''showmanship''.

[image loading]

Cassano's seriously insane for real (he's said he would've become a criminal if he hadn't made it as a football player ). I wish I could get a hold of his autobiography, I've heard it contains a ton of juicy details about his countless incidents and feuds. And also that he claims to have slept with 600-700 women. XD

I was rooting for Inter to start with (for reasons I won't disclose, but bear in mind that I am petty and small), but after the last 20 minute of Inters turtling gayness I hope Barca go through 2-0.
And yeah the referee was a total homer

So you don't want Inter to go through because after scoring THREE goals vs Barca they play defensively for the last 15 mins or so?

Inter simply played much better than Barca, Messi and Xavi was kept quiet for most of the game.

Yes...Reason is for the weak

Well as long as they don't play 10 men behind the ball for the entire next leg, then I won't begrudge them going through
The next leg being shite is what I am worried about

exactly.

i LOVED how messi was looking at the ref every time he got tackled hahahah. and barca fans should be the last to ever complain about refs b/c of what happened vs. chelsea last year. also, they played so so dirty, diving after every tackle in the arsenal game (namely busquets and dani alves) WHEN THEY WERE ALREADY WINNING BY A TWO GOAL MARGIN WITH TWO AWAY GOALS.

i hope they get kicked out, so the media can stop jacking off to messi/xavi.

At the same time though... they can win 2-0 at camp nou so it def. isn't over yet

Don't be silly about Inter being pathetic. They were just listening to orders. If Mourinho's has no other choice but to bore you to death to win, then he will. Simple as that.

No. (edited. no need to jump on you )

This is something a lot of "professional" footballers do, mask a deliberate late challenge by aiming where the ball was and following through where the sole purpose is to injure and/or scare the other player and throw him off his game since he would be afraid of breaking his leg every close challenge in the game from then on.

First of all, if you go for the ball, you don't have your weight on that foot when stretching, secondly when you miss the ball, there is ample time to shift your weight and avoid the other player.

This was VERY intentional and VERY deserving of a red card and also in my opinion deserving of several games ban or longer because of the great risk of bad injuries from this.

Basically, shit like this ruin football. People in this thread cry for blood when a "noname" does this thing and breaks a guys leg (just in this thread we have several examples where "They just went for the ball"), but it's okay cause ribery did this? Hell no. He wasn't even provoked before this to even begin to excuse it..

Shit like this is ruining football and they have to start giving serious bans off the pitch from FIFA to stifle this behaviour.
I wouldn´t call him stupid, but let´s just say he´s unlucky when thinking...
