Mario's penalty.

the one that beat hart at the euros was the best pen i've ever seen. hart went the right way, full stretch, and got good distance on his dive. there was literally only one place the ball could go in on that side and mario put it there.
It looked to me like Mario even gestured which way he'd put it!

According to bbc "Mario Balotelli's penalty was his 11th in official matches - he has converted them all".

He did. He pointed where he was putting the penalty as he approached. I think he did it to confuse Hart.

Guys - it is a penalty. What is so amazing about a penalty?

You have 80% chance that you'll score. It doesn't change the fact that we were utter shite all night.

or 100% chance of it going in if you're Mario Balotelli ..............

Are you telling me that Aguero or Tevez or Dzeko or Nasri or Silva would not score 11 out of 11 if given a chance???!!!

These guys are among the best in the world. Most people in this forum would score at least 6 out of 11 for Christ's sake! Don't make a big deal out of nothing. Scoring from penalty is not too difficult and there are literally thousands of players who can do it as well as Balo. No need to celebrate something that everyone can do.

you've not got the hang of this soccerball yet have you...

Soft penalty? It was a nailed on pen. If your arm is away from you body and the ball
Is on target, it's a pen, end of


On target? It was a lofted cross if anything!

Soft pen, I'd be gutted if that was given against us, but we've had our share of shit handball decisions go against us recently, so I'm not fussed.

It was a nailed on penalty for me too.

The ref looks whether the arms/hands are in an unnatural position, the proximity of the attacker in relation to the defender plus the speed of the ball. Whether its on target is completely irrelevant. Subotic left his arm 'hanging' for me he didn't even attempt to move them away, like you say it wasn't really hit with any real pace.

Before or after taking a set off Federer?

Tevez is a terrible penalty taker btw. Balotelli has never missed one
