Highlights here.
Parker made a meal of it, of course, by acting as if he had been shot or impaled with something, and it's not at all obvious that Balotelli ever meant to hit him.
After all, Balotelli was backing up, and he couldn't see where exactly to step. It seemed like he was trying to re-gain his balance, too.
Of course, people could say that the second landing of Balotelli's leg was unnatural, a little, but: number 1, sometimes people make unnatural moves when in unnatural positions, and, number 2, that move did not actually appear to hurt Parker; it was the first one that made Parker squirm.
So, even though it wasn't as obvious as what Pepe did to Messi, in the Copa del Rey, last Wednesday, Balotelli now faces a four-match ban.
It kind of makes you wonder: What kind of people are running the FA? And could they be interested in preventing Manchester City from winning the title?
Incidents like that occur more often than the press surrounding this particular one seems to suggest.
