FAIL: Balotelli Backheel Try

Manchester City's Mario Balotelli made an ass out of himself today in a friendly against the LA Galaxy. Balotelli had a breakaway, and instead of just, you know, kicking the ball into the goal, he got fancy and tried a backheel kick, which missed wide. And his coach immediately yanked him from the game for the showboating.

Here's video, via The Big Lead:

I particularly enjoyed his teammate's reaction after the kick attempt.
