Don't be fooled. In an interview, he explained he did it just because he heard a whistle, and he thought it was offside and the game was paused. If you watch better, you will see that the pass was really a possible offside from a field perspective. Notice also his reaction, after that he is very surprised after seeing supporters and teammates complaining. You can also see that he doesn't aim and doesn't even check if the ball went into the net. Regarding the whistle, you can clearly hear it. In addition, if you would understand Italian you would also notice that he says to Mancini something with "fuorigioco", which means offside. He would need to be a genius to come up with a perfect excuse like that in a matter of seconds, plus a very good actor to pretend to be surprised like that. All the timings, dynamics, and reactions make perfect sense with the fact that he said he thought it was offside because of the whistle, no doubt.
He thought he was offside. There was a loud whistle from the crowd and he thought it was the ref. Balotelli is widely misunderstood. You can even see him signaling to the coach that he heard a whistle when he was subbed. I feel bad for the guy.
The basics they teach you in football training is to finish your play whistle or not. That's basic. Even the FIFA rule that earns you a yellow card if you ignore the whistle is only in effect if the referee believes you were wasting time i.e. kicking the ball into the stands after a referee whistle for a foul to waste time . He was showboating plain and simple, and he failed too.
@@pinktoebeans Thank you for naming one of the worst refereeing decisions in football as evidence of your ignorance you knob. Almost every referee called that decision a "disgrace", and yet here you are.
For anyone wondering, he did an interview on this and said he heard a whistle so just trick-shot the ball out of play not knowing the whistle was coming from the crowd. That's why he was confused and annoyed at being subbed off.

@@enternamehere544 He's had plenty of chances. Look at how he treated Brescia, his "hometown club". Skipped on training, barely tried, they got relegated.

If you were Mario Balotelli, where would you rather be? Adana, a 1 hour flight from Istanbul OR Minnesota? Cincinnati? Denver? Could you imagine Mario Balotelli on the hopeless Chicago Fire? And with Adana Demirspor, he even has a small (less than 5%) chance at possible European competition. What's the hope in playing for a MLS club that isn't a relative name? Playing mediocre football in an ugly American city only to be fed to Mexican clubs in the CONCACAF Champions League or Leagues Cup?
He thought he was offside.. I’m completely against the crowd, Mancini, and the commentator not noticing. That’s unlucky by Balotelli, i still respect the guy
@@niallb1818 He could have just scored with a normal shot. No need to this flashy (failed) move. There is lot of arrogance and no real effort in that move.

Stop being assholes and let football spread to the whole world, its becoming bigger and bigger in the US why the hate?? Atleast we still get to watch pirlo, lampard, villa and youngsters like giovinco, dos santos play there aswell
@@one689 People are blowing whistles all the time in soccer games, the ref whistle is very loud, definitely can differentiate between each. Hes a loser, dont defend him, he got kicked out of every teams hes on. Blame the player, not the clubs
It's disrespectful because to do that against them shows that he thinks they are an easy team and it's not gonna be important to score against them. Would he do that in a league game? Absolutely not. Yea sure this was a friendly game but all professionals should treat every game equally important
1st: He wasn't offside. 2nd: If he knew he was offside, he wouldn't have continued towards the goal for another 10 meters. 3rd: You don't stop until the referee blows the whistle. This is taught when you're 6 years old and shouldn't even cross the mind of a professional. But then again, we're talking about Balotelli, so "professional" might be a stretch. This play describes him perfectly, it's a good thing he hasn't succeeded in his career and didn't set a shit example for all the young kids.
Timi Raitanen Okay, WOW! First of all, why do you think I'm American? Secondly, if the coach didn't hear the whistle, then wouldn't that prove my point???? Cuz I am replying to the comment that's saying that he heard a whistle from the crowd. However, you're saying the coach didn't hear a whistle, so that puts the manager at a better position and therefore rightfully subbed him out for the dumb act. What's your argument? Are you supporting my question?
IsaiasSoldier2 yea i said he subbed him couse he didnt hear it if that is your point then i am supportin it you can see by balotellis impressions he tought it was offside
Actually, he heard a whistle in the crowd and thought he was offside Edit: I know this might be cringe but thanks for 1k likes it’s the first time I’ve ever got 1k likes
Hes a professional footballers, and that sounded nothing like the Ref's whistle. Footballers may not be smart, but if theres one thing they do know, its football. He could obviously tell the difference between that whistle and the Ref's, and he would have known that he wasn't offside anyway.
Jimmy Page You do realize in some cases if you are called off and you shoot the ball in the net after you were called offsides results in a yellow card
Well this occurred in 2011 when the MLS was not very good, but it has expanded a lot since then and actually features some decent competition and rivalries.
MrMURMAN12 well... it IS a joke. MLS in its' entirety is one big joke league, and Balotelli knows it. He could do tricks in box all day with that shitty defense.
Clearly MLS is by no means up to the standard of La Liga, Bundesliga, The Premier League or Serie A. Equally clearly, many people take it seriously. Why the appetite for belittling and mocking?
He just explain this on "Muschio Selvaggio" a italian podcast. He listen a whistle (came from the spectators) and he thought he was offside. You can actually hear the whistle during the action.
Real Madrid a one on one back heel in a pre season friendly would have been one of the best goals you’ve ever seen, you clearly don’t watch your own team very often
at 0:11 you hear a high pitched scream or a whistle. he probably thought he was offside - as he's probably also explaining to mancini at 0:53. he's one of the best strikers in europe. if he wanted to aim for the goal with that trick, he would have done. he always wants to score. still, kicking the ball off the pitch in such manner, even if he was offside, does not leave a good impression.
100 goals in 300 matches in european top leagues, 13 goals in 33 international matches, 3 times italian champion, champions league.... i don't like Balotelli's behaviour at all, but you cannot possibly deny that he is an extremely resourceful striker. i don't know much about football, but Mancini and Mourinho do and they have fielded him time and time again, despite all his terrible antics.
+Stepis Erben he looked promising but he wasted his own talent and he is a nobody at 26 years old. He is obviously not the worst but he is totally finished.
guys, Balotelli himself explained it, he heard a whistle (coming from the stands, if you turn up the volume you can hear it) and he thought it was offside, which is why he clearly slowed down and made a mistake. He thought he was offside
in an interview he explained that he heard a prolonged whistle and thinking it was the referee who was blowing the whistle for offside he did this, you can also hear the whistle in this video
His face after the move is unpayablel. I love the guy, but how many times has he dribbled three opponents, made a forty-meter pass and arrived to finish?
@@fmac6441 he wasn't even trying there lol. He did a simple 270° turn, passes it to someone else then proceed to sprint forward. Just look at LA's left wing fullback, they weren't even trying lol
@@fmac6441 hahah don't worry i know. Look for this match's full highlight btw lol. You can see how boring and bland the game was and how bored blue's players are, so much that it looks like they didn't even care if they were to lose lol
Ignoring the Commentator because idk how it's disprespectful; He should have actually tried to score, whether he thinks he's offside or a whistle is blown he should keep going until either the ball is out of play or he's 100% certain the ref has stopped play. Could have gone another goal up but instead he tried to be cool instead of taking it seriously which is exactly why he was taken off, he's paid to go on and score, not switch off at crucial moments.
Why are people pissed? It's a preseason game that holds no weight towards man city in the actual season and they're going against team not even in their league!
+Packet uhh that's definitely disrespectful (unless he heard a whistle, which i think is true based on his body language, but you are not arguing for that), and im definitely not american
All the other players in the squad are working their ass of for a place in the team every day and he doesn't even take it seriously. You can't expect respect from your players if you leave him on it would be extremely insulting to their hard work.
People complaining about mls is what wrong with football these days..... the league is constantly improving and I would have thought the more football the better but instead people want to continually shit on the MLS. Why? Because it's American simple as. This is coming from a European fan aswell with no American connection

What's the hope in playing for a MLS club that isn't a relative name? Playing mediocre football in an ugly American city only to be fed to Mexican clubs in the CONCACAF Champions League or Leagues Cup?

He thought he was offside.. I’m completely against the crowd, Mancini, and the commentator not noticing. That’s unlucky by Balotelli, i still respect the guy

hofung chow Cap: I understood that reference
@@PeterBee911 Because they criticized him and now he just want money not trophy
Haha great comment 👍🏽
Balotelli just told Kun Aguero he had heard the referee's whistle so he had thought the game had been stopped and then tried that trick shot
i think balotelli has been so misunderstood. i think he heard a whistle which made him play the ball out.
Thats happen to me before. I hear a whistle or someone say something I slowed down and look around, then a player outta nowhere steals it and I’m confused.
Julius Lee You are correct💯👍
Julius Lee Nah. He'd then have gotten a yellow card for kicking the ball away after the ref whistles.
He just doesn't give a shit.
JurschKing 1 of 10 refs would give a yellow card for this. So yes he doens't give a shit, what means a yellow card for a forward?
No, Balotelli is just a big lazy arse who doesn't give a fuck about the game or anybody bar himself
lol, commentators say its disrespectful, this league is disrespectful to football. Its a retirement home for legends.
Fuck off Bear
+Bear. looool yes
Stop being assholes and let football spread to the whole world, its becoming bigger and bigger in the US why the hate?? Atleast we still get to watch pirlo, lampard, villa and youngsters like giovinco, dos santos play there aswell

that's true lol
Nathan Morris your still not on balotellis level though :P
Nathan Morris “higher morals” but is a racist, a American racist that plays football of all sports.
I am here for the image quality. Incredible.
Y‘all realize he thought he was offside ? He even said this himself...
Thats his excuse, since when do players stop playing when they are offside??? You play to the whistle, every player knows and goes by this.

You hear that whistle sound at 0:10? I believe that’s what distracted him. And his body language says the same
@@one689 People are blowing whistles all the time in soccer games, the ref whistle is very loud, definitely can differentiate between each. Hes a loser, dont defend him, he got kicked out of every teams hes on. Blame the player, not the clubs

I believe he thought he was offside also
He thought it was Offside.. he later explained it in an interview

Ben Stephens No they didn't cry after the game but it's still a dick move
Gabe G It's not a dickmove because if he scored it wouldn't count anyway, so he just wanted to try something
It's disrespectful because to do that against them shows that he thinks they are an easy team and it's not gonna be important to score against them. Would he do that in a league game? Absolutely not. Yea sure this was a friendly game but all professionals should treat every game equally important
Ian Leo So by your logic people can't score nice goals?
+nicer44 ^^ What this guy stated.
Looks like Balotelli stopped playing because he thought he was ruled offside.
mediastarguest nah
That is what happened
Or he put money on himself to not score all game more like it
1st: He wasn't offside.
2nd: If he knew he was offside, he wouldn't have continued towards the goal for another 10 meters.
3rd: You don't stop until the referee blows the whistle. This is taught when you're 6 years old and shouldn't even cross the mind of a professional. But then again, we're talking about Balotelli, so "professional" might be a stretch. This play describes him perfectly, it's a good thing he hasn't succeeded in his career and didn't set a shit example for all the young kids.
Sergiu He thought he heard the whistle you absolute fucking idiot. Get that through your thick skull.
He cleary heard a whistle from the crowd and thought that was offside...disrespectful? Nope. Maybe not focused...
Then why did his manager sub him out????
Timi Raitanen Okay, WOW! First of all, why do you think I'm American? Secondly, if the coach didn't hear the whistle, then wouldn't that prove my point???? Cuz I am replying to the comment that's saying that he heard a whistle from the crowd. However, you're saying the coach didn't hear a whistle, so that puts the manager at a better position and therefore rightfully subbed him out for the dumb act.
What's your argument? Are you supporting my question?
IsaiasSoldier2 yea i said he subbed him couse he didnt hear it if that is your point then i am supportin it you can see by balotellis impressions he tought it was offside
Timi Raitanen Mmm, Okay. I just thought you were going against me cuz you called me a "dumb american fuck"
IsaiasSoldier2 shush ignorant american
Actually, he heard a whistle in the crowd and thought he was offside
Edit: I know this might be cringe but thanks for 1k likes it’s the first time I’ve ever got 1k likes
Equally as retarded though isn't it
You can hear the whistle though
how is it equally retarded exactly
Oh shoot makes sense dude no sarcasm
Still should have scored even if it was offside tho
This Will Be Iconic In Football History
To be fair to Mario, listen really close at 0:10 seconds, someone in the crowd blew some sort of whistle. and at 0:54 he makes a whistle gesture
true
Doesn't sound anything like a whistle, it's clearly a scream
That's not a whistle symbol it was a rude gesture but yeah I agreee
thats the classic italian hand gesture; not whistle
Irishinaabe nahh he’s just Italian
There was a whistle from the stands. You can hear it before he does it. That is why he played it out.
"he DID it"* not "he does it"...
Its a friendly, sometimes you can have a little fun i think
He thought he was offside because someone whistle him.That's why he do that "skill"
If you take thousands of dollars for playing football you can't
IkhmalCreatures Do you know what grammar is jeez
still friendly...
IkhmalCreatures lol wtf and excuse xd.
Hahha
He said it if you listen carefully you will hear a whistle from the supporters so he thought it was offside. He told that in an interview
You can hear a whistle when he gets the ball. He thought he was offsides because of it.
Toa Ninjis i think so too, doesn't matter we know balotelli is a very good football player but sometimes he's has is not at the pitch
Sounds more like a shout than a whistle
As soon as that scream happens he just did whatev.
That is the 'do woman not hear their own goddamn voice' scream. I'd punch you if you do that in my ear
Hes a professional footballers, and that sounded nothing like the Ref's whistle. Footballers may not be smart, but if theres one thing they do know, its football. He could obviously tell the difference between that whistle and the Ref's, and he would have known that he wasn't offside anyway.
To be fair to Ballo he thought he was called offside so just did it for the lulz
Opus Still. You never stop only because you thought you were called offsides. Sometimes they let it go and the goal can still count
Opus This is why he will never be one of the football greats
Jimmy Page You do realize in some cases if you are called off and you shoot the ball in the net after you were called offsides results in a yellow card

+ChuckTay23 It would still be incredibly disrespectful but you are right

because he is greatly underestimating the competence of the US team, and therefore it is insulting to take a shot in such a carefree manner

well... it IS a joke. MLS in its' entirety is one big joke league, and Balotelli knows it. He could do tricks in box all day with that shitty defense.
That's one of the worst cups ever.

He said in Muschio Selvaggio

Thepotato _iso you learn how to problem solve, that’s all that matters. The “you don’t learn anything in school” ideology is so wrong lol.
Clearly MLS is by no means up to the standard of La Liga, Bundesliga, The Premier League or Serie A. Equally clearly, many people take it seriously. Why the appetite for belittling and mocking?

Happy anniversary everybody, 10 years since this gem of a trick shot!
Lmao he's still better than the entire LA Galaxy squad combined
at 0:11 you hear a high pitched scream or a whistle. he probably thought he was offside - as he's probably also explaining to mancini at 0:53. he's one of the best strikers in europe. if he wanted to aim for the goal with that trick, he would have done. he always wants to score. still, kicking the ball off the pitch in such manner, even if he was offside, does not leave a good impression.
Stepis Erben
0:10 lol
One of the worst*
100 goals in 300 matches in european top leagues, 13 goals in 33 international matches, 3 times italian champion, champions league.... i don't like Balotelli's behaviour at all, but you cannot possibly deny that he is an extremely resourceful striker. i don't know much about football, but Mancini and Mourinho do and they have fielded him time and time again, despite all his terrible antics.
+Stepis Erben he looked promising but he wasted his own talent and he is a nobody at 26 years old. He is obviously not the worst but he is totally finished.
Papa Arima did you follow him this season?
When you press the wrong keys when you are about to score.
@RaniaIsAwesome lol i see you're a man of culture, looked up the video for the 10 year anniversary
Sad to see people hate on balotelli for this. He genuinely thought that he was called offside. Someone in the crowd blew a whistle
guys, Balotelli himself explained it, he heard a whistle (coming from the stands, if you turn up the volume you can hear it) and he thought it was offside, which is why he clearly slowed down and made a mistake. He thought he was offside
Someone whistled before he did it, and he mistook it for the ref, he still should be just put it in the net anyways tho, dumb move
isn't yellow card when you shot 1sec after whistle ?
@@83jeanroy lol 1 sec after... no? When have you seen anybody get a yellow card for that?

There's a whistle balotelli even tells mancini and Wym disrespectful it's la galaxy they couldn't play in the championship
Ignoring the Commentator because idk how it's disprespectful; He should have actually tried to score, whether he thinks he's offside or a whistle is blown he should keep going until either the ball is out of play or he's 100% certain the ref has stopped play. Could have gone another goal up but instead he tried to be cool instead of taking it seriously which is exactly why he was taken off, he's paid to go on and score, not switch off at crucial moments.
