Reputation yellows for sure for Balotelli.

Balotelli was a disgrace out there and he should be ashamed for the way he wore the Italian jersey. I don't care if they were his only two fouls if you watched the game he was crying every time he got touched, he's a strong young athlete he should stay on his feet a lot more. He was constantly whining at the ref. I'd be sick of him too if I was reffing! His two fouls that cost him two yellos where really stupid fouls, the first he was so late with his body check from behind that it was clearly an attempt to hit a player. The second he got his hands all over the face of the Czech defender when he knew he couldn't win the ball.
Back to the game, me being Czech, it was very frustrating that we have no finish. We should have won that game long before balotelli got sent off. The Italians ended with what zero shots on goal. We needed the win and we got a draw, we are pretty much screwed for second unless we somehow win out and with 3 of our last 4 on the road including at Italy and Bulgaria. Denmark has an easy finishing schedule as well. I actually expect them to take second.
