    Copy and paste from yahoo.com. Lazy journalism.

  • COMMON SENSE 8 years ago

    THEY WILL NOT RESPECT YOU TO THE END OF YOUR LIFE,YOUR SMALL BOY AND THEY WILL ALWAYS CALL YOU MONKEY,SEE NOW THEY HAVE SACKED YOU FROM ITALIAN NATIONAL TEAM,YOU THINK YOUR SMART.

  • SMART FREMPAH 8 years ago

    I don't think he was sacked. He has incredibly lost form. His exploits in various teams including Liverpool attests to this. Don't comment blindly. Anyway, why can't we leave him to choose what he wants? Can you imagine i ...

    WHEN WILL WE SEE A CHINESE, WHITE OR SOUTH AMERICAN PERSON SUITING UP FOR BSTARS OR REPPING GH IN ANYTHING. IT ALL COMES DOWN TO ECONOMICS.

  • DIAMOND 8 years ago

    You can't prove that he is not criticising goal.com for plagiarising yahoo.com, can you?

    Don't assume that he is criticising Ghanaweb, as he did not say so.

    What makes him think as a black man he would be accepted as an Italian.

    I don't blame Balotelli, he was young and knew nothing and sincehe decided to cut off his biological parents at an early age he did not have the right ...

  • The Great One 8 years ago

    He didn't cut his biological parents off. His biological parents sold him off (gave him up for adoption)

  • kwame kwaku 8 years ago

    Balotelli had illness that the biological parent's couldn't financially take care off, so they gave him up for adoption.

  • kweku trouble 8 years ago

    What do you mean by "sold off"? Either you don't know the story or you have a bad comprehension of the English language. If his parents didn't make that decision of giving him up for adoption, he may never have been who is no ...

  • Ray 8 years ago

    Stupid! Do u know the story? Don't u know how these whites are? Balotelli does not think. He is an easy prey, sorry 4 him.

    You will continue to be called Black Monkey boy

  • BADWAM KRAKYE 8 years ago

    If they will continue to call Ballotelli Black Monkey Boy, then how would they call you AFRICANS BACK HOME studying under trees in the Trokosiland?.....APES !, I suppose. You're all morons.

    Some of the stories about slave trade had it that a slave trader who was a Ghanaian and had many Europeans slave traders friends himself was deceived into visiting the whites. On the day of his visit, he wore a nice long suit ...

    No european born should play for this corrupt system!

  • Preach 8 years ago

    Everywhere there is corruption.....Only Ghanaians do theirs public...Cousin

  • The Great One 8 years ago

    Ghana is better off without another volatile character like Muntari. To have Muntari and Baloteli in black stars would have been horrible disaster.

  • DIAMOND 8 years ago

    To have Muntari and Balotelli in Black Stars would have helped us get the FA thieves fired long ago.

  • Osei Boakye 8 years ago

    Let's face it. Muntari & Balotelli in Black Stars would have won us many victories.

  • Kwame 8 years ago

    Why does the Ghana press keep reproducing this article any time Mario doesn't get selected for the Italian National Team? Just leave the guy alone. People are called names all over the world all the time, mostly due to ignora ...

    I don't know why ghanaweb writers are so lazy like this.....always 'copy and paste'

  • LEXIS 8 years ago

    you know its copy and paste yet you always read it. it means you don't know what to use your time for. you people complain about everything.

  • zorro 8 years ago

    We do not need him!

  • GH. Port HArcourt 8 years ago

    Yes! you are right not to play for Ghana. Because the mps and ministers are thieves!And Ghanaians are cowards not to kick them out.

  • maria 8 years ago

    it's hard for athletes with Ghanaian heritage to choose the ghana flag because the system is so bad and corrupt and dubious. so the talent prefers to stay away. Loads of black athletes end up adopting european or american na ...

  • Yaro Orimili Zagibida 8 years ago

    Prez John Dramani Mahama should adopt
    Mario Balotelli. Right away. Sharp Sharp. Quick Quick. He has vast soccer potential. Ghana will win the next world cup with him as our foremost striker.

  • LAWRENCE 8 years ago

    Bolotelli's dad hails from Konongo and as such, it is not allowed that Otani adopts an Ashanti. The other way round is possible.
    This is obvious; how can an Ashanti royal be adopted by Opotoni ?

  • Haruna 8 years ago

    Tell that to your so-called royals who have the "otani" blood in them. Your women don't want any part of your short stature, that is why they are trooping up North to "pepe" land in search of gold- Pepe dick.

    Come and play for Asante Kotoko to redeem ur status of playing for the Black Stars, after showing ur commitment, & appealing to FIFA to reconsider your playing for Italy. You are still young.

  • DIAMOND 8 years ago

    He said he does not regret playing for Italy, and you're saying should appeal to FIFA to reconsider?

    No!
    He can play for any Ghanaian club, but he cannot change his play-for country.
    He is Italian.
    Let's respect that.

    You have made a right move. Congratulations! Your career is secured. Your colleagues came and had been abandoned. Why should younger ones continue with it? Right one there!
