Super Mario

[bibblebub]

Any chance that the media will now refrain from using that hackneyed nickname for Balotelli?

[Duncer]

I'll second that. It is nearly as bad as counting down to the start of a game.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

[x-ray]

For Spain it was 4 3 2 1 ....no, that should be 1 2 3 4

Was it just me or did that wonderful sportsman Mr Balotelli storm straight off the pitch & up the tunnel at the end, without even acknowleding his team-mates, or the Spanish players, or the fans ... ?

... did he bother to collect his medal?

[Mick-Talbot]

Yes SD, he collected his medal

[Ric.ror]

Perhaps another player collected it for him
Anyone seen John Terry
