Good morning my friends.  It’s a good morning recovering from Italy’s elimination and already moving on.   I hope you are doing fine today and wish you a successful day at work, school, or just vacationing.   News going on awaiting for FIFA to give their verdict on Uruguay forward Luis Suarez case after biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini.      Regarding the national team, it seems chaos evolving as real reasons on why Head Coach Cesare Prandelli are now unveiled………  Latest shocking news as reported by the media is the outburst by forward Mario Balotelli feeling the pressure for most people blaming him for Italy failure.  Balotelli posting a letter on Instagram with controversial declarations  ….. Italy divided now some pro Balotelli others against….

It’s also a beautiful sunny morning because it is the birthday of the great AC Milan icon Paulo Maldini!!!!

The mourning
The Napoli fan did not make it. He recognized who had shot in a photo.
“He died with a smile”
Ciro’s mother: “He loved sports. Enough violence”

The case, after the World Cup failure
Balo divides Italy
Under accusation by his teammates and insulted in social
Balo becomes blonde and outbursts: “I have given everything for my country. We “blacks” don’t throw a brother like this.”
And again his words divide ….

Malago’
“He is not the only responsible, but he reacted bad to the critics”

The backstage
Resigned by the “Senatori”
We reveal the truth about his goodbye to the National team

Promoted, Switzerland ok
It’s Super Messi now Argentina put fear

USA – Germany with a draw Ronaldo out
Capello looking for the miracle

You tired us!
Balotelli exaggerates, “The Neri would have not unloaded me”
This time without brakes on Instagram
“I had not decided to be Italian, I wanted it. You must find another excuse”

Another whim
Racism has nothing to do

Messi, it’s show
Two goals to Nigeria. France draw, Switzerland yes

Never again
After 50 days of agony, the Napoli fan hurt in Roma died
City mourning in Naples
Football world in shock
The family: He was a hero

Remake Italy.  In a hurry
The failure of the World Cup requires quick choices: Immediate the president of the Federation and then the coach.

Juve: From the World Cup to the transfer market
Vacations are over
The collapse of the national team a turning point in the Bianconeri negotiations
Until now, Marotta has just sold (Immobile and Zaza)
Now he must start to reinforce the team.
Hot hours for Iturbe
Barzagli allarm: Astori arrives?

For the bite to Chiellini
Suarez risks a maxi punishment and lot of money

Even Camoranesi crushes him
Balotelli rebels, “I, black, and true”
Galliani: “Stay!”

Nigeria ko, 2-3 but qualified
It’s still Messi show Argentina
Switzerlad go

Chaos TV rights, Agnelli asks a new band

The Granata speeding the market
Toro in attack still trying for Sau
The retreat already on Monday

Napoli cry their fan
Football in mourning
Ciro is dead,
Tragedy absurd
