Laughed when he had that little strop and punched the ground. Was waiting for him to throw a tantrum on the bench when he got subbed aswell.

To be fair, he DID manage to keep the ball in the pitch with a cool backwards heel bump thingy hahah***

what an absolute joke he was, no wonder he was subbed

Lol... How did he missed that chance?!?!? I think he is suffering from short time memory loss.

Missed a great chance for Italy,won a yellow card and did some prouesse with the ball, Italy scored when he was substituted......This sums up Ballotelli tonight!!!

Yellow Card, Hissy fit, Fluffed the best chance, Subbed. Just the usual masterclass from Balotelli.

Got a stupid yellow early on, waved his hands around a few times when things didn't go the way he wanted, fluffed an absolute brilliant chance and eventually taken off 10 mins into the 2nd half. Pathetic performance overall.

He was poor the manager got very frustrated with him, especially when he jogged the ball into the area took a long time to decide what to do with it and then got tackled, was like he didn't care. But I don't see why every time a city player does something bad people post it up on the forums.

It was funny watching Balotelli burn that chance,get subbed and the guy that comes in,scores right away.But what a missed chance! LOL

What a biased post,as much as I don`t like the lad I think he did well holding the ball up and he showed great desire apart from that one chance which was just a joke but he did well to obtain the ball.

I would have to disagree. The Spanish defenders don't exactly bully anyone off the ball and everytime he loses the ball he punches the ground like a little child. I genuinely have seen more maturity in a 5 year old. Only thing the guy has going for him is his fantastic shots and some great set pieces. Other than that he is a waste of space in my opinion.

were you watching the same game ? IO mean sorry but he was useless, he walked around like he had all the time in the world.. David Silva by comparison played superbly

Isit Italy vs Spain?Channel:ITV?I certainly am,I think he did ok you cannot conclude ones performance on one chance...
