It's not even funny, fair enough he's paying these managers till the end of the season but they've had more managers than Serie A wins this season...

Yeah, he's gone past funny at this point.

It was funny when it was a few times a season but a few times a month is just absurd. He's doing more harm than good.

If the transfer stories are true Inter could have an interesting front line with Icardi and Alexis Sanchez possibly arriving.

They'd be positive steps forward for Inter.

Although anything would compared to them saying they're "building for the future" before selling Coutinho and bringing in Tommaso Rocchi.

Brazil v Italy on ITV4, Italy were 2 down but levelled it with a couple of goals in nearly as many minutes. Balotelli just scored a wonder goal.

Aye, Italy are actually playing well, dominated the first half and really didn't deserve to go in 2-0 down. Balotelli's goal was great, one of those that gets better each time you watch it.

Credit to Prandelli, despite saying they'll be taking the game seriously he still had the balls to take off Pirlo when the side was 2-0 down to both keep him fresh for Malta and see how the side coped without him.

Had no idea the game was on until people started to mention it on FB/Twitter after Balotelli's goal - just assumed it would be tomorrow night.

Caught up on the goals though, DDR's was a nice little finish but yeah, Balotelli's was excellent.

7 goals in 6 Serie A games for Balotelli and another goal for the Nazionale.

The English media must be fucking raging.

Lovely goal! Very nice shot to look at though I think a better keeper with a better anticipation/positioning/jumping can deflect it over the bar.

The Italy - Brazil game was a brilliant friendly. It calmed down a bit when both teams started to make subs in the second half though. First half was fantastic though. Ray Hudson was commentating on it as well

To see him do well after all the shit they gave him when he was in England.

Why would the 'English media' be so bitter about a player? They wrote about him because he was a character, who gave them a lot of easy column inches?

MARIO BALOTELLI was last night hailed a “true champion” after this stunning strike for Italy against Brazil.
Balotelli crashed home a thunderous leveller for the Italians, who came back from 2-0 draw to salvage a draw in Geneva.
And Italy boss Cesare Prandelli said: “I know how he really wants to be one of the best in the world but he has to remember how he can get there, and that is through team work.
“That is what he did tonight, like a true champion.”

Balotelli, 22, has been in sensational form since quitting Manchester City for AC Milan in January.
The forward has found the net seven times in just six Serie A games for the San Siro giants.

Absolutely 'Raging'

Nah, the only way a keeper would have got a touch on that is if he'd watched a clip of the goal at half time.

Brazil need to improve massively before the World Cup comes around. I'd probably back Argentina/ Spain ahead of them at this point.

Spain drew at home to finland...
still waiting to see if Messi alone finally can lead argentina to a title, because his team mates there are no better than englands or frances players...

Honestly, I agree with him in that France is better player-for-player than an Argentina sans Messi.

It's the wrong thread for that post though.

You have to make sure never to give England a compliment ever. (It's rule 1).

Also, if England ever appear quite high up the FIFA rankings, argue with mathematics and suggest that gut feeling should be used instead.

Aye, England aren't that bad.

I think they'd beat Argentina if they didn't have Messi.
