Mario Balotelli
Date of Birth: August 12, 1990
Position: Striker
Team: Italy
Appearances: 29
Goals: 26
After a dismal season at AC Milan, Mario Balotelli will be looking to turn things around at the World Cup. The eccentric striker, who has recently been a victim of racial abuse at the hands of his own countrymen, is key to Italy’s chances in Brazil. Azzuri coach Cesaro Prandelli will be hoping his main striker keeps his antics in check, as they take on Uruguay, England and Costa Rica in the ‘Group of Death’.
