Today Mario Balotelli unequivocally announced that he is Italian and his only desire is to play for
his country of birth.He has chosen to play for Italy and not the country of his parents Ghana.
Mario Balotelli was born in Palermo Sicily of Ghanaian parents but then adopted at the age of three
by an Italian family from Brescia.
Don't let the above picture fool you. Despite the "friendly" intentions of Austria's
nº16 on Gennaro Gattuso (sorry, couldn't resist...), Italy vs. Austria seemed, at times,
anything but friendly. In fact as soon as they were up by two goals, the Austrians thought this
could very well be exploit-day for them.
Emanuel Pogatetz appeared for Austria last night in a 2-2 draw with Italy and after scoring for the
Austrians he substituted with what looked like a groin injury.
That's right. They're doing it big again at the Austrian Cultural Forum tomorrow night. Free beer,
foosball, art and possibly some people with umlauts in their last name. Also expect appearances by

The annual August friendly is not really something Azzurri fans look forward too. In Italy,
people are away vacationing at the beach and therefore are not in front of the televisions watching

tournament, which means we usually get to see a new manager in his first game in charge,
experimenting with new tactics, players, and playing style.
