Yes, but with that last name he definitely has Italian ancestry, therefore in Serie A fans' eyes he's Italian and everything he will achieve is because of his Italian genes

Mono?

Only a hater will deny it.

I'm glad the FA has acted quickly, swift action is exactly the sort of thing Balotelli needs to be beaten into better shape, off the pitch and on the pitch, I hope Mancini thinks of a suitable internal punishment as well.

The big question is whether Prandelli is going to drop him as a punishment after going on about how he's looking forward to seeing how Balotelli and Di Natale work together.

Epep is in hot water internally. It seems the LFP won't intervene yet.

I do expect a ban soon though.

As do I.

If they dont do something about it, its outragous. Internal punishment or not.

Keep your panties on lol he'll get his suspension. I'd bet one of my houses on it.

Taking their sweet time about is all I will say.

There goes my summer estate

For the record, I don't think it was intentional. He was trying to regain balance, and we all know Balotelli is a clumsy fellow. He can't even put on his training bib!

Am I the only one who thought "well Balotelli was pushed, so he missed a step"? :O

Everything looks intentional in slow motion, however even just at normal speed it looks very suspicious in my eyes. I can see why some think it may not have been intentional, but I'm sticking with my initial reaction for the moment.

I think it was very intentional by Balo and the ban is deserved.

I dunno what to say on this
In slow mo, it looks intentional
But in real speed, you kinda wonder how Balotelli could've stomped like that with little time to think about it. It wasn't like Messi-Pepe where Messi wasn't really moving much at all, Pepe had all the time in the world to see what he was doing. This is different. Balotelli kicks the ball Parker goes down, Balotelli had his back to him, how did he know 100% where his head was?

As for the stomp not looking natural; think about it. His other leg was doing it's natural movement but was stopped by Parker. That would have to be why the next step looked unnatural.

Not saying it's not intentional, i don't really know if it was.

At full speed, it doesnt look on purpose and we all knowing slowing things down changes the perception.

I think the FA are unfair in banning him, firstly because I dont see how they can determine its on purpose. Its tough to call, we have seen it over and over and I dont think anyone is really sure.

If you dont know, then you obviously cant ban him.

Secondly, how this gets banned but Rooney can elbow smash people with no punishment whatsoever IDK.

Certainly does to me. Parker's face was like a magnet for Flopotelli's foot.

What matters to me is that he was fully aware of where Parker was and his foot went where it shouldn't. That he hit his head was a mere coincidence but it's evident that Parker became a magnet to his right foot.

So wait you're saying that he didn't know where his head was, but he knew that Parker was on the floor and he wanted to stamp on him but it coincidentally hit his head? Yea that makes sense. And that could be it.

One thing i noticed is that when he unintentionally hits Parker the first time, his right leg is going forward but then immediately goes back. That does seem VERY unnatural. And his reaction doesn't help either. He seems apologetic and helps Parker up, but then you think did he do that because he accidentally hit him, or was it because he accidentally got his head instead of his body? Very hard to come to a conclusion here.

But you do gotta think; what would be his motivation for doing this?
