EL Shara is so damn exciting to watch...he just has some random flaire that's different to many other players...
 

I guess so. A lot of the Brazilian and Portuguese players don't use their actual last names
And some from the Ivory Coast make up Brazilian names to masquerade as talented footballers as is the case with our very own Gervais Lombe Yao Kouass .

:rollin @ Gervinho

When he first came on the scene I assumed he was Brazilian or from a former Portuguese territory for the longest time. I used to be like "Damn, this dude is weak as hell for a Brazilian" then I find out he's from Ivory Coast :| :rollin
 
Gus Johnson did a little better today IMO

Still many moments of silence but there were moments where he brought that classic march madness Gus Johnson stuff

backstory?


I didn't see it mentioned prior but perhaps Mr Marcus was referring to yet another racist incident this time involving "Balotelli racially abused by Inter fans in Milan derby as plastic bananas are waved at San Siro amid sick taunts". This was the headline from the post on the UK's Daily Mail.

Balotelli racially abused by Inter fans in Milan derby as plastic bananas are waved at San Siro amid sick taunts

Mario Balotelli was subjected to racial taunts by Inter Milan fans as he took on his former club on Sunday night.
An eyewitness, who did not want to be identified for fear of repercussions from Inter ultras, showed Sportsmail a video in which some Inter fans waved inflatable bananas and whistled at the AC Milan striker during the derby clash.

Despite the abuse Balotelli kept his composure and signalled for them to be quiet by putting a finger to his mouth.

Balotelli did very well not to react to the provocations, I'm just sorry he wasn't able to score,' said Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri.
'He had a great first half. Let's not forget that he's 22 years old and he was playing against his former squad. It's to be expected that he felt pressure for this match.'
On two occasions the former Manchester City striker miscontrolled or mi**** the ball when well placed in front of goal.

The San Siro had more Inter fans than Milan supporters - the former side were at home - and they mocked their former striker.
He was whistled at and there were some reports of Inter fans waving inflatable bananas at him.

Other players were aware. At one point, the Inter captain Javier Zanetti, who played with the striker for the Nerazzurri, grabbed the distracted striker's arm, seemingly to be telling him to ignore it.

Zanetti shook a finger at the Inter supporters, as if instructing Balotelli not to look at their inflatable bananas - which the eyewitness confirmed numbered over 100 - or take their hateful chants to heart.

During his time in the Premier League, Balotelli got in to various scrapes and misdemeanours. Some more serious than others. He was often told he needed to grow up. On Sunday night, he dealt with significant abuse maturely.

In the video seen by Sportsmail, the stewards at the San Siro do nothing. They do nothing about it throughout the match.
'Balotelli, son of a b****' was being chanted for the duration of the game, by the majority of Inter fans.

The source confirmed monkey chants could be heard loudly at times inside the stadium. Only small pockets of Inter fans were culpable, and they were not continuous. But still they existed.

Serie A officials will meet on Tuesday to consider sanctioning Inter Milan after fans.
A spokeswoman told Press Association Sport the disciplinary council would rule on the events of the match at the San Siro among others from the weekend's fixture list in a meeting held in Milan.

If fans are adjudged to have directed discriminatory or racist language at Balotelli then Inter face a fine of at least £12,300. The club were fined that amount when Inter fans chanted racist songs about the striker during a recent league game against Chievo.

Balotelli played for Inter between 2006 and 2010 before moving to Manchester City.

He only had himself to blame as his side were pegged back in the San Siro after taking the lead.
The Italian striker had several opportunities to score in the first half as Milan dominated.

Stephan El Shaarawy opened the scoring for Milan after receiving Kevin-Prince Boateng's through ball and flicking it round Samir Handanovic with the outside of his right boot.

The goalkeeper could do nothing about the 21st minute strike - but spent the rest of the half denying Balotelli and his team-mates with a string of super saves.
Milan's dominance was largely down to the work of El Shaarawy and Mattia de Sciglio down the left flank.

This was stopped after the break as Zanetti moved across from left back to right back to deal with the danger.

Abbiati, who had a quiet first period, was called in to action as Inter woke up in the second half.

He saved superbly from Freddy Guarin, who could not believe his effort from 10 yards out following Rodrigo Palacio's cross did not result in the equaliser.
But that came soon after when Argentine midfielder Ezequiel Schelotto came on as a 69th minute substitute and two minutes later headed home Yuto Nagatomo's cross.

Inter continued to press after that but could not break through, as Milan fell away.

The draw left Milan third, six points behind second-placed Napoli and 13 points behind Serie A leaders Juventus. Inter are one point behind Milan in fifth.

Saw this article today: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/mls-french-football-federation-announce-145000344--mls.html

MLS will partner with the FFF (French Federation) to learn a bit more about their youth training and set ups especially in France but also they'll get to travel to RM, Barca, Bayern, PSG and visit their academies as well....it's gonna last till 2014 and at the end a lot will be restructured within the US academy system.

Good read. Hope it turns into something tangible....


Came across this vid (it's old though). I love seeing behind the scenes stuff like this & Being Liverpool. I find it fascinating. Love the crack coach Eric Steele had at de Gea at the 2.27 mark ,"Hey Man United not Aletico! " I've read & seen several of interviews with RVP this season & he gives a lot of credit to Man U's training staff for this success this year not only in scoring but keeping fit & healthy.

Great news to hear. I really like the recent steps they've been taking towards youth development.
 
These dumb @#$ Inter fans don't even realize that their club was formed because AC Milan wouldn't allow foreigners (not saying Balotelli is a foreigner, hope you guys know what I'm trying to say) on their squad...and now they're being racist when their own team has been filled with black players from all over the world for YEARS :{

INTERNAZIONALE...illiterate scumbags

Not saying all Inter fans are like that so please don't bring that up

Also, good job trying to alienate one of your star players and future of your national team...
