Italy has produced a newest teenage sensation that will topple defenses and fire some goals. He made it to Inter Milan’s first team and scored 7 goals in the 2007-2008 Serie A season.
Mario Balotelli born to Ghanese parents in Italy, but adopted by an Italian couple. A law prevented Mario to become a full Italian citizen until he will reach 18 years old on August 12 this year. He feels with all his heart that he is Italian, he even turned down requests to play for Ghana in the last 2008 African Nations Cup.
“Super Mario,” as he also called by his moniker is surely the striker to watch out for in the 2010 World Cup.
Hhhm, i wonder what some Italian racists will think. Envy?
