Titolo: Balotelli e nazionalità

per  uno strano caso burocratico, SuperMario non è ancora convocabile per le 
rappresentative giovanili italiane.
Come dice il suo sito: causa cavilli giuridici, ancora oggi inspiegabilmente 
irrisolti, il suo affido tramite Tribunale dei Minori di Brescia alla 
famiglia Balotelli tarda a trasformarsi in una adozione. Mario è vittima di 
un'anomalia: la sua cittadinanza non è ancora quella italiana, nonostante 
sia nato in Italia e vi abbia sempre vissuto.
per tanto,a  fronte di questa situazione succede quel che segue:
Ghana set to cap Inter's Balotelli
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has expressed its determination to 
invite Inter Milan's exciting prospect Mario Balotelli balotelli to play for 
the country.
The 17-year-old striker, who has joined the first-team of the Serie A 
giants, has been unable to answer several call-ups to Italy's junior 
national teams.
balotelli was born in Italy and he is still considered as an immigrant as he 
was born to Ghanaian parents.
Even though he was adopted by a Brescia family at the age of three he holds 
a Ghana passport and the GFA are keen to take advantage.
"Our national team coach Claude Le Roy is closely monitoring Mario Balotelli 
balotelli for the possibility of playing for us as he is a Ghanaian with a 
highly promising future," GFA vice president Fred Pappoe told BBC Sport.
"We are aware that attempts are being made to prise him away from us and we 
will fiercely resist it.
"His real parents have told us that they want their son to play for Ghana 
and we also very happy to offer him and others the opportunity to represent 
their motherland.
"Even though balotelli grew up in Italy, we will offer him the opportunity 
to learn his culture in a friendly environment with world class players like 
Stephen Appiah and Michael Essien.
"The Black Stars have shown that playing in the squad will not only enhance 
a player's reputation in Africa but it will also enhance their careers.
"As we prepare for the 2010 World Cup players like Andre 'Dede' Ayew, 
Balotelli balotelli and others will be the attention of our focus to take 
over from guys like Appiah and Essien to avoid the mistakes of the past."
'New approach'
The GFA has recently embarked on a campaign to cap Ghanaians born or raised 
abroad, having lost several high profile players to some European countries 
and America.
Former France captain Marcel Desailly was born in Accra while Germany 
internationals Gerald Asamoah and David Odonkor have Ghanaian parents.
Denmark youth international Sebastian Quarcoe Svard, who plays for the 
Bundesliga side Borussia Moenchengladbach, has a Ghanaian father while 
Freddy Adu and Ofori Sarkordie have played for the youth teams of the United 
States.
'Good results'
The GFA's new approach has already yielded dividends as German duo Hans 
Sarpei and Otto Addo played in the colours of the Black Stars during last 
year's World Cup.
Denmark-born defender Francis Dickoh is part of coach Claude Leroy's plans 
as well as English strikers Junior Agogo and Lloyd Owusu.
"The path we have gone down can bear more fruit than it has yielded so far," 
Pappoe said.
"We are combing every corner of the globe to bring our players home.
"The local scene will continue to produce great players like Appiah, Essien 
and Muntari but we have our other sons abroad who need to join up.
"This will ensure that Ghana will reclaim its position as the force in 
African football and soon world football as our World Cup performance 
showed.
"We are confident that the combination of the best of our home-raised 
players and those aboard will help us attain our goals and fulfil the 
players' ambitions."
Another player being targeted by the Ghanaian authorities is Andre 'Dede' 
Ayew, son of Ghana legend Abedi 'Pele', who plays for Marseille.
Inter Milan's Batsy Kyeremanteng as well as Belgium-based King Osei Gyan are 
all being monitored

 le rappresentative giovanili italiane.

 irrisolti, il suo affido tramite Tribunale dei Minori di Brescia alla
Lele, pensaci tu.

per tanto,a  fronte di questa situazione succede quel che segue:
Appena compirà 18 anni sarà lui a scegliere la nazionalità ed ha detto
già diverse volte di sentirsi italiano, dato che è nato e cresciuto
nel nostro paese (ha anche l'accento bresciano). E poi vorrei vedere
chi scerebbe il Ghana (con tutto il rispetto) potendo giocare con i
campioni del mondo.
