Re: city v galaxy

After the pen the yank commentator says "if a goalie can't come off his line why is that allowed".... because no-one has ever dummyed before have they...!!

I laughed when I saw Balo spin and miss, only a friendly after all. Reaction to being subbed was daft though, should have shrugged and winked... ;)

Not a big deal. May as well try it now rather than in the league. Can see why the players and manager are pissed off. Needs playing time though so shouldn't have come off, imho.

What would have happened if he scored it? Still come off then? Don't think so.

Watch the replay...Balo pauses before he pirouettes and backheels the ball...looks like there was a whistle.

Next weeks headlines and witchunt already set up for the papers, talksport and Sky.

Trouble is Carlos , Balotelli himself is the one givin' them the ammunition , isn't he ?

Fuck the hate.

Balotelli; reminding the dour that's its a 'friendly' game in the 'entertainment' industry.

Well said - Its a friendly FFS

Alexi Lalas "He embarrased himself - disrespected the Team, LA and the United states!"

Shut up you ****!

Balo is the ultimate troll.

I agree. It would appear that its far more important to him that he is the centre of attention rather than the team. It was the kind of trick a show off does in the school playground.

The annoying thing is he was playing well.

I can see why Mancini might be a bit pissed off but I thought that Mario's showboating was pretty cool. He was so much better than any yank player that he was doing the youthful thing of putting a bit of swagger out there.
Just a very talented young lad gettin' a bit klarge was all . . who of us didn't at his age.

I'd have been embarrassed to score it too. These lot are piss poor.

I Watched The Incident Live And I've Seen It A Few Times Now, My View On It Has Not Changed, It Looked To Me Like He Definately Thought He Heard A Whistle, And His Body Language After Being Taken Off Cements That Theory Even More.
Had There Have Been A Whistle And He Did That, No-one Would Have Said A Dicky Bird.
Seems Like A Huge Mis-understanding From All Parties, Shame Really As He Was Playing Really Well.
Forza Mario Balotelli.

I know its only a friendly but for me it has a rag type of edge to it, and we've just tore L.A. a new asshole, and so far that'll do for me.

That was the most retarded shit I've ever seen.
