Balotelli Fails Back-Heel, Mancini Sends Him Off

[Thepocojoe]

its a pre-season game for christ sake. Its pretty much just a kick around for Balotelli so i dont see why people took it so seriously.

[elfionnio123]

They don't seem to realise he is better than every player in the MLS...

[BarackEmbalmer]

Mario is mad but I like him...

[Blazekronos97]

He thought he heard a whistle, watch it again.....

[fszron]

Balotelli's attitude and goal-scoring forte increased after this

[TheBajenForever]

I'm a lipreading expert, this is what Balotelli said at 0:40 "WHY ALWAYS ME"

[ssorrenn]

one does not simply try to mimmic zlatan

[CoolCat94Micky]

He did because he thought he was offside. If you watch the full play you will see

[Sammyv17]

Who cares what kind of game it was, he was at a horrible angle to try that with his right foot. Bad technique is all.

[WASQEHTN]

@Sammyv17 stfu american. stop talking about football or what you call ... "soccer"

you have no idea about it. angle. technique. blablabla

[Sammyv17]

@WASQEHTN Oh, so you clicked on my name to find out that my profile said united states. How weird. I know more than you. You must be a city fan or something to be defending his attempted "skill".

[WASQEHTN]

@Sammyv17 im not a city fan at all. its just you americans should stick to eating hotdogs, burgers watching baseball and american football.

[bneg303]

@WASQEHTN Baseball is one of the hardest sports to play. 

[DomingsonGER]

i can do that on fifa 12 :D

[ZanyarSaid96]

Alright this isnt a ''championship game'', this is a test game, a ''friendly game''. Where u test your players at other positions and sees if they can handle it or not !... But what we saw here, what Balotelli just did was just to embarrassing for him, Mancini (the coach of City) and his other teammates. He has ruined it for everyone! It could be a beautiful goal but what a waste of time. He could pass some teammate or something! Better than doing that!

Am not saying his bad but that wasnt good!

[blackamoor61]

I hate to say this as a United fan but underneath all the clowning and pissing about Ballotelli is a seriously good player. It would be foolish to underrate him. Hope he keeps pissing about though. He's less effective that way.

[TheHARDRO1]

All that hype over Balotelli leaving and now Manchester City cannot get enough of him.

[ihadurmum]

he who dares wins.

[garrethdavis]

hahaha... Americans on football 

[BlackDollarBills]

look how much he slows down before he does the back heel and how he just loses momentum i think its quite obvious he thought he was offside

[GoingCamando20]

why do they all fuck around in american games, don't show off just play the game like youre supposed to

[shelmerdinky]

@GoingCamando20 Because americans can't play/understand football and It's funny

[dovetsky]

Balotelli very skillful, but no discipline.

[nameskhan]

looool no one takes american football seriously

[kainmaro2010]

He thought he was offside.

[WeeJohn96]

How can you not love balotelli? <3

[chambers9208]

what a prick haha

[nem700]

haha come now, what do you expect? noone takes american footballers seriously.

[ayoforreal]

0:42 "fuck off" haha

[dc99pk]

*FACEPALM*

[ReaLEvZ]

if you listen very carefully you can hear a whistle in the background whilst balotelli was running with the ball, thus him trying the trick for a *joke* not for a goal attempt in his interview he mentioned this. Vote up so everyone can see

[RenegadeReplicant]

@ReaLEvZ Manchini himself said Mario KNEW THAT IT WASN'T OFFSIDES. Just because the mic picks it up, doesn't mean Mario heard it.

[HHC9312]

Its about mocking, to the other team, beeing respectful and mancini do right to send him off

[SJGibbons1000]

rodney you plonkah.

[thepieface9496]

to be honest you can say it wasnt against a good side.... but they went on to penalties

[lankychief95]

what a twat

[barricader6]

It's against a shit side, who the fuck cares what he does.

[JOSH1HOW]

Why doesn't he just put it in the back of the net?! And i'm a city fan!

[Braandzeer]

Jaiime Balotelli ! <3

[fayg0tz]

Out of respect he doesnt score from offside position (which he thought he was) if he really wanted to score he woulda done it. this guy is 1 of the most talented players around. just usa commentators dont know what they talk about so they talk crap. Mancini is a dumbass for taking his best player out. this will damage him for the rest of the season. this action already made him lose the first prize to man u...

[kuzzzan]

He does it right, this isnt a CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, but a FUCKING test game !

[TroffyyyHD]

@kuzzzan oh yeah so lets just fuck about every single friendly game and "try" our best on championship games im sure we will still do "amazing" on championships, yeah that works.

[Awo3232]

All this rubbish talk aout respect is bullshit.. soon players won't be able to do stepovers because players gets embarrassed as a result of getting sent the wrong way.. Football is about entertainment not boredom.

[RabbitGui]

Like Beckham Said, "Put it in balo"

[blackboysports]

he's G!

[diegutenroten]

Manchester city sure knows how to pick them!

[WhatsUpChrisTV]

HAHAHAHAH amazing ..... !!!!!!

[Medes14]

what an idiot hahah

[DzGoodSeed]

that guy is still a kid, he is not mature enough, he has to be put on the bunch for a long time

[Desperate4changing]

Suarez would actually get it in :)

seriously though, what a fool Balo is. He needs to respect his opponent.
