Lol he was playing against a mls club, you can’t blame him for trying

MLS stands for “My last season”

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.

He gave MLS the exact amount of respect it deserves.

Commentators talking about la galaxy like they're Real Madrid

When you accidentally do a skill move instead of taking the shot in fifa

Don't be fooled. In an interview, he explained he did it just because he thought 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 was offside because of the whistle, no doubt.

No one will ever replace Mario 🐐 what a character!

He choose not to score an easy goal. What a humble guy

He looked bored as fuck.

The fact that he replaced him with Milner, the ULTIMATE professional is hilarious 😂

Chi qui dopo muschio selvaggio e il fischio dagli spalti😂

why would he respect people who call football soccer?

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.

For those who still don't know: he did that cause he heard a whistle and thought the referee called offside. You can hear it at: 0:09

Holy crap, you can actually hear pretty clear whistle at 0:10. Balotelli later said that he heard whistle and thought that he is offside

Tbf if he scored everyone would’ve said how good the goal was

What a fucking legend of the game

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

The amount of MLS haters I see in the comment section is disappointing. We know its not the most competitive league in the world but it has grown and improved over the years drastically. Being the league to send the most players to Europe in North America compared to La Liga MX in recent years shows that.

Wonder what kepa would have Done

It’s ok to disrespect a team who calls football “soccer”

GIUSTIZIA PER SUPERMARIO, FISCHIO NETTO ❤️

I love how he shrugs like he did nothing wrong. This is just who he is 😂

Balotelli's career in a nutshell.

The same season he assisted the title winner. Legend.😂😂😂

This video will never get old!!!

O melhor atacante que a gente nunca vai ver jogar de verdade

If I was playing in the MLS I'd be doing that every week

1) it’s a friendly 2) it’s L.A galaxy 3) they were winning 4) it’s balotelli :\/

This looks like disrespect at first but, I guarantee you he was raised a lot better. He is a top class athlete. In a post game interview he claimed he heard a whistle (i guess for offside) and he just decided to kick the ball out of play. If you pay attention you can actually hear the whistle he thought the ref blew, and you can tell by body language that he was by no means trying to even attempt to score...

Today he said he heard someone whistling and he thought he was offside

This legit looks like fifa 15

This man is a legend, no one would have remembered that goal if he'd scored it like a normal guy, he forever immortalised himself in our minds and we couldn't love him more

This Will Be Iconic In Football History

This is so legendary. In 20 years people will still be looking back at this and laugh their asses off. That said, no disrespect to Balotelli. I hope he can look at this and smile

He obviously thought he heard a whistle - you can hear the noise in the video a moment before he takes the shot

Which fifa is this? looks amazingly real.

underrated.

Qui per verificare il fischio 😂

I love the way after he misses and everyone's getting mad he's like "what did I do?"

if he made it the reaction would have been "what an amazing play!"

Chi qui dopo muschio selvaggio ?

He watched too many Nike 'Risk Everything' campaign

It was in 2011 & nobody still understand that he heard the whistle blowing ..... That's why he done that he tried to explains this with Mancini

I am here for the image quality. Incredible.

Balotelli said in an Italian interview that before the heel he heard a whistle and thought he was offside. In fact, a whistle is heard but it was not from the referee. He tried to explain it left handed but rightly he was angry

Actually he thought he heard a whistle. Cant blame him .i heard someone squealing too.

He thought it was Offside.. he later explained it in an interview

I actually remember the day this video was uploaded… time really flies.

*Balotelli-I heard the opponent behind me said "There is no football,only soccer" and that's why I miss it*

I could literally taste the salt coming from these commentators.

i thinks this is his way of saying : yo Americans go play baseball LOL

I can’t remember if I actually caught this live when it happened or i saw it on a replay a bit later that day but mannnnn let me tell you iconic this moment was 😂😂😂😂 He assisted the league winning goal later that season so I’ll always give him a pass no matter what

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.

Tbh if you rewatch it with the assumption that he's heard an offside whistle, his whole body language makes perfect sense.

aaand not a single fuck was given that day

I dont know if balotelli's trickshot was worse or the commentator saying "mary oh bell a tele"

People acting like it's the UCL final or something😂

Y‘all realize he thought he was offside ? He even said this himself...

Interviewer: how do you feel about MLS? Balotelli:

Chi qua per sentire il fischio dell' "arbitro" ?

*Released in 2011* KZfaq: *recommended in 2020* Nice one

lol, commentators say its disrespectful, this league is disrespectful to football. Its a retirement home for legends.

Every time I see this it still makes me chuckle like the first time lmao

Chi qui dopo Muschio Selvaggio per ascoltare il fischio dalla tribuna?

Looks like Balotelli stopped playing because he thought he was ruled offside.

i think balotelli has been so misunderstood. i think he heard a whistle which made him play the ball out.

Should watch Balotelli's skills and goals at Adana vs Goztepe now😎😎😎

The real story is that if you really listening there was a whistle from the stage. He get confused and he taught the game was stopped. That's it.

I don't know how that's dissrespectful, he was just playing on the same level as the MLS players.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the whistle that was blown.

vero si sente il fischio hahaha

who would have thought that this guy would make the famous Agueeerooooooooooo happen one day with his only assist in Premier League

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

the galaxy fans are angry balloteli didn't score on them???

He just scored a more brutal goal than what he tried there.

Chi qui dopo la puntata di muschio selvaggio

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

commentators say disrespectful? I hardly think the LA galaxy team went home crying cos balo tried a backheel

Its the MLS, what do you expect

chi qua dopo muschio selvaggio ?

To be fair to Ballo he thought he was called offside so just did it for the lulz

There was a whistle from the stands. You can hear it before he does it. That is why he played it out.

He said that he heard a whistle

before he does that you can literally hear a loud whistle. that just shows you how great his observation skills are.

Sono qui dopo muschio selvaggio

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

Don't worry, he was just taking it easy and was told to save his energy. He was subbed of to save him for the bigger game against Mansfield Town.

Pov: sei qui dopo la puntata di Muschio per sentire il fischio

THE REST IS FOOTBALL BROUGHT ME HERE!!

My only problem is if he would have made that shot people would be spilling their drinks and puking their popcorn in admiration of the shot

He cleary heard a whistle from the crowd and thought that was offside...disrespectful? Nope. Maybe not focused...

He thought he heard a whistle

Truly one of a kind 😊

You guys dont understand, he looked in to all possible outcomes and found this is the only way for man city to win this match

It did sound like a whistle was blown but it's still funny to hear how butt hurt the commentators were lol

E perchè siamo tutti qui proprio dopo la puntata di muschio selvaggio?

This is more hilarious than that Australian mate punching a kangaroo.

You can hear a whistle when he gets the ball. He thought he was offsides because of it.
