Forgive my ignorance but who is the other black lad in the squad?

Central back Ogbonna from Torino (serie B in last season).

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Balotelli has a good tournament. He knows he won't get away with half of what he did last season with us - the Italians just won't put up with it. He will have his 'good' head on in the Euro's and I have a feeling he will do well. Then wait for the transfer bids!
Still can't accept that he's class and staying can you.

Shame. Though it does make me smile knowing how much you hate him and it matters not one fuck to him or the manager that picks him.
 
yep. Balotelli will shine

it's a big few weeks for Mario, a big chance to show the world what he can do, and with his confidence there is no doubt he'll do just that.

It's also a huge chance for him to mature as a footballer and a man (though his eccentricity will always be there) I'm just hoping the experience helps him to learn to keep his head screwed on whilst out there on the field

He is Angelo Ogbonna, from AC Turin.
He played in Serie B, but he's going to be a GREAT defender ;)

Balotelli hype galore. Average at best tonight.


Leave it out, fella. He has done well considering he has been feeding on scraps. On an individual basis, how many Italians have played better tonight.

He may sometimes play like he doesn't have a brain but he has undeniable quality.
 
Almost mature performance by Mario, is playing quite intelligently but his free kicks aren't the best.
