son of an immigrant Ghanian mother, if I'm not mistaken, taken by the state under child welfare, given to an Italian family to raise, succeeds on athletic merit, yet still faces a barrage of hate from his own country because he's not "Italian," yet all the hate in the world can't stop him because he produces the goods.

it's like if OKP held a conference to design the perfect soccer player, Balotelli is who the committee would produce. I try to put every sports hating liberal I know up on him, because they can NEVER resist his charms.

and yeah, tap into some Euro news sources -- folks get MAAAAAAAD over Balotelli
