Pic of the Day: Not so super Mario

Ah, Mario Balotelli. Like him or loathe him (and unless you're his teammate or John O'Shea, how would you loathe him?) you can never say he isn't interesting. As in today's Italy training session.

Mario is the man who apparently drove around Manchester in a Santa suit dishing out gifts, who was sent out by his mother to pick up cleaning products and came back with two Vespa scooters and a trampoline, and who was arrested for somehow finding his way inside a women's prison in Italy. For a stroll, like.

His Italy teammate Daniele De Rossi has already spoken this week of how he needs to mature.

He's not the first to say that, and judging from the picture above from today's Italy training session, he certainly won't be the last.
