Balotelli doesn't look Italian. RINGER

[hbionic]

A buddy was saying that he's African but his parents couldn't raise him, or he lost them or something and he ended up being raised by the Balotelli family in Italy. Dude's only 21. 

Apparently he has a brother who's also a soccer stud, I think he's trying out for Newcastle...not a Balotelli though.

Time to wikipedia that shtein.

From Wikipedia:

Early life

Mario Balotelli was born in Palermo, Sicily, to Ghanaian immigrants Thomas and Rose Barwuah. The family moved to Bagnolo Mella in the province of Brescia, Lombardy, shortly after he was born.[7] As an infant, he had life-threatening complications with his intestines which led to a series of operations, although his condition had improved by 1992. Mario's health problems and the family's cramped living conditions meant the Barwuahs decided to ask for the help of social services who recommended that he be fostered.[7]

In 1993, the Barwuah family agreed to entrust the three-year-old boy to Francesco and Silvia Balotelli,[7] with the legal move formalized by the Court of Brescia.[8] When Mario Balotelli became famous, his biological parents asked for his return. He later accused them of "glory hunting", stating that they only wanted him back because of the prominence he had gained.[9] According to Law 91 of 5 February 1992,[10] Balotelli had to wait until his 18th birthday to request Italian citizenship, as the Balotellis had not adopted him. Balotelli officially gained citizenship on 13 August 2008.[11]

Mario has three biological siblings: Abigail, Enoch and Angel Barwuah.[12] Enoch Barwuah, two years his junior, had a trial at English Premier League side Stoke City in December 2011.[13]

Balotelli is batshtein crazy and just as talented as he is kookoo.

farg Italy too.  Go Spain.

[hbionic]

I'm rooting for the Guidos. I don't care about Spain at all.

[Rome]

It's a tough call considering both teams are littered with pouting diving primadonna Romes.   Spain has hotter bitches in the stands, so as always, the hot chicks prevail.
