Balotelli's Violin

The world's most mercurial player, Mario Balotelli, singlefootedly lifted Italy over favored Germany in the Euro2012 semifinal, 2-1, thereby making your Bloguero's day. Balotelli scored twice; Germany goes home. That is so very gratifying.

Sunday is the Euro2012 final, world champions Spain v. Italy. 2:30 pm ET. If you're in the US it's on ESPN. If you're somewhere else, just turn on the telly. This will be a great, exciting game. Do not miss it.
