Lahm messed up that 2nd goal. All he had to do was run with Mario and he wouldn't have been able to get a shot, but lahm stopped and thought he could head the ball.

the euro champs final:
balotelli was given the worst rating of the match in every rating i could see in french (in english they seem to think that he did his best and blame it on other players like barzagli, well, typical delusional stuff from balotelli fans)

here he is given 3 out of 10, the worst rating of the match:
http://www.football.fr/footballfr/c...es-des-italiens_125830.html?featureshome-page


here he is given 3 out of 10, the worst rating of the match:
http://www.topmercato.com/49974,1/les-notes-des-italiens.html


here he is given 3.5 out of 10, the worst rating of the match:
http://www.footmercato.net/euro-2012/espagne-italie-les-notes-du-match_87523


and ofcourse like all of you noted, he finished this tournament with another display of poor sportmanship:

" Balotelli storms off field to locker room as Italy coach Prandelli yells at him to stay out, assistant tries to keep him out. No chance. "

I see Steve Sailer has now discovered Balotelli:

http://isteve.blogspot.ca/2012/06/black-italian-soccer-star-mario.html

See the comment by Gianni at 6/30/12 3.04PM

in the comments also: "You don't score two superb goals against a team like Germany if you are not supremely skillful. His other goal, against Ireland, was also a stunner. He is tied for the most goals scored in the Euro Cup."

the first goal was very average, the kind of goal every striker can score, well, the kind of goal balotelli scores

the second one was spectacular, but you can have luck on a shot (not to mention that the german defenders weren't disturbing him)
it reminds me of djibril cisse, who was possibly one of the less skilled professional players in the last 10 years : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2koet_parodie-cisse-mastercard_sport

like you can see he even had the same kind of haircuts

if you gave cisse some space, he had one of the most powerfull shots in europe
powerfull, but not always on target :biggrin1: ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...l-Cisse-knocked-Sunderland-fan-sued-club.html )
it's better to have a more precise shot, still powerfull, than djibril cissé's powerfull yet comically bad shot
yet cissé scored some incredible goals in his career, goals that look like balotelli's, because 1 time out of 100 you are lucky and the shot is on target

balotelli was lucky to score this time, but against a real defense he wouldn't even be able to shoot in good conditions, and his shot would be way off 99 times out of 100

besides, he has the second worst goals-per-shots ratio of the eurochamps, second only to benzema

Balotelli played terribly against Spain.
He either held the ball too long, and gave it up to Spain; or just immediately had the ball taken away. He doesn't know how to pass or set-up another player.
His shot is powerful, but very inconsistent. How many shots did he take in the tournament (especially against England), that soared miles above or beyond the goal>!?
I think Italy would have done much better without him.

He is immature, inconsistent, over-rated and certainly over-hyped. And that's because he's a black, Italian immigrant.
The media wants to pump him up.
Hopefully, he continues to flounder.

Alessandro Altobelli - "When I say that he has the quality to be one of the best players in the world it is because I think he can become as strong as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo." :lol:

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2565...ssi-and-ronaldo-altobelli?source=breakingnews

How reliable are Altobelli's predictions?

"Having seen Italy and, in particular, this Spain side in action, I firmly believe in Italy," he explained. "I'll put a euro on an Azzurri victory in the final! [A whole euro?]

"I think that Italy and Spain each have a 50 percent chance of winning but the Azzurri have grown since the start of the tournament, while La Roja have slipped a little."

Yes, it's a good thing Spain have "slipped" and Italy "have grown" otherwise it would've been 6 or 7 nil to La Roja!

Balotelli does not have the ball control needed to be a superstar like Messi or Christiano.
He is being hyped based on his race.
The press wants a black European star.

Messi is simply the best. Of all time. Would that he looked more swarthy coming from Latin America, but there is no way to mistake his 100% white-Italian features. (Sigh).

If Messi had gotten Spanish citizenship as he (probably?) could have done, given that he has lived in Spain much of his life, there would be no team to compete with Spain, period.

From my limited soccer viewing and knowledge, I think he stands head and shoulders above Ronaldo. He is a much classier act to boot.

i wouldn't compare him with messi or ronaldo
he's not even part of the group of players that are pretty good but not as good as messi
i would compare him with other black over-rated strikers like bagayoko or djibril cisse
djibril cisse (like i said earlier, one of the funniest players in french football history, because he was so bad: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2koet_parodie-cisse-mastercard_sport ) has been top-scorer of the french league at 20 years old (like balotelli he probably lied about his age)
so cisse so far accomplished more than balotelli
the best over-rated black player was probably samuel etoo (so over-rated that while playing at barcelona he was out-scored by diego forlan who played in a small club)
yet samuel etoo is on another planet compared with balotelli

apparently his ex (and Ronaldo's ex) is pregnant with his baby...

another "freakishly gifted" player in the making in italy :biggrin:
i don't find his girlfriend very beautiful, what was cristiano ronaldo thinking?

so now balotelli is officially a race-mixer, this guy is doing everything to be on this forum it seems

Funny, I wonder how many goals a guy like Crouch would have at Man city.

aguero had more goals this season at manchester city than during his best season at atletico madrid
it's very impressive to score that much for the first season in the club, usually you need some time to adapt
and the spanish league isn't known for it's strong defences

so the fact that aguero scores his biggest amount of goals for his first season at manchester city means that when you play at manchester city, you score a lot

here are balotelli's ratings in the french press, the two biggest sports related newspapers:

jzBCkBMtWP6yO.jpg

391334_3492803722117_137313282_n.jpg


on the left, "france football" where balotelli got the worst rating of the match
on the right, "l'equipe", where he was rated 4/10, only barzagli and montolivo got worse, 3/10

i post this in addition to this : http://www.castefootball.us/forums/threads/13581-mario-balotelli?p=251907&viewfull=1#post251907 because i'm not sure if he got bad ratings in the english speaking press

by the way "france football" is a lot more reliable than "l'equipe"

"l'equipe" also made a team with the 11 players that got the best medium ratings in the tournament
there are 3 strikers in this dream team, and balotelli is not amongst them

while making those "best 11 players at the tournament" articles, they should always look at ALL the matches, and if they do, balotelli shouldn't be in the top 11 players, not even in the top 22

380641_10150906610567066_64321245_n.jpg


khedira always gets good ratings but he's useless
nani looks skilled but like simao for example he is almost never decisive

most of the comments under that picture where it was originately posted are "where is balotelli?"
well, it would be interesting to know where he is
i suspect that if you take the medium of all his ratings he has one of the worst ratings in the tournament

Other than the NBA and sprints, where Negroes seem to dominate without having any help or propaganda helping them, I don't truly worry for any other sport, neither I pay attention much to exceptions ala Balotelli, Serena Williams, Tiger Woods, Anderson Silva etc......I guess since they are massively competing they will win every now and then something too, but statistically, as I like to see things, they are nothing but a slight minority and a very bright exception to the rule (white domination). So I honestly don't care about this Negro or this thread and I would not even log in to write this if my stupid cousin (the liberal one, but he's French living in France, so what do you expect) sent me this "funny" email like few minutes ago.

I had no idea that such a gorgeous white woman was dating and it's rumored being pregnant with the baby of this gorilla looking Negro:
http://www.7msport.com/news/upload_img/20120703/36_2012070311462989.jpg

I swear in everything sacred i have in life and this was the reason my disgusting cousin (thank God he's only a second cousin and not Greek) sent me this in the first place, what's even worse (to me) this woman could easily pass for sister, not to say twin, (God is my witness) of my woman and she's obviously a very typical example of "Mediterranean beauty" that we often see in Greece, Italy and (not so often) in Spain.

It's unbelievable what some women will do for money, fame and media exposure, especially when they are young.

By the way, closing this, signs of France's today sad position, my "genius" cousin has been robbed by blacks and Arabs before, but he won't mind with them, but he likes teasing me with such emails (the title was "Hey is this your woman on Mario's lap") simply because he doesn't approve my lifestyle and political views!

Even though he's my cousin and I love him........I would't mind if whites like him extincted from the face of the earth :)

not sure about NBA and sprints
posters from these sections might have something to say about it (but this section is not the right place to discuss it)
but i'm not worried either
balotelli has 0 skills, and unlike other unskilled players, he doesn't compensate with flair, intelligence, fighting spirit, solidarity, ability to work on his weakpoints, and he's not even that powerfull
he's an embarrassment
in 5 years the media will still say about him "it's a shame that he didn't really used his super-human abilities, if only he would have concentred more on football..."

honestly in france he would have been unoticed, because there are more blacks
there are black players from france that are 100 times more skilled than him
issar dia and gael kakuta are players that are 1000times better than him (but will still deserve to be mentionned in the "black flops" thread in a few years)

The four non-Whites in this team could be easily replaced by better white players. Selassie has made big mistakes and wasn't convincing at all, Pepe is a butcher and should be punished more often (I personnally hate his appearance. He is repulsive.) Khedira has been useless during the whole tournament and Nani too in his own way. I was personally very impressed by Jordi Alba's speed. Spaniards are very good at doping these days. :tongue:

selassie is to only player to have a rating of less than 6/10
i agree about khedira and nani, and pepe could be replaced by terry

balotelli's first match in this new season, against liverpool:
According to WhoScored, Balotelli touched the ball less than any starting player for Manchester City and finished with the lowest match rating for any outfield player for the defending Premier League champions. He did not create any opportunities, was disposed more than any other City player, completed his passes at a woeful 62 percent and had just one shot to speak of the entire match.
It wasn't even on target.

For a starting striker at a relegation-bound club, Balotelli's performance was mediocre. For a starting striker at a title-contending club, Balotelli's performance was simply not good enough.

He shouldn't get much pt when Aguero comes back. Plus, they should play Dzeko ahead of him.

today dzeko started a match for the first time this season because balotelli couldn't play (he has a surgical intervention in his eyes because he had nearsightedness...i'm not even kidding...it might explain his very random shots)
http://www.mail.com/int/sports/soccer/1533916-report-balotelli-to-surgery-qualifiers.html

so dzeko started the match, and he scored
it's his second goal of the season, so balotelli will have a difficult year...
