Soccer player Mario Balotelli is a sports star made for the Internet age. His expertise on the pitch is matched only by his charming eccentricity off of it.
This week's Sports Illustrated cover boy is one of the world's greatest soccer strikers, an Italian of Ghanaian descent who's aptly described by writer Grant Wahl as "the most interesting man in the world (soccer edition)."
He's the kind of guy who used to drive a camouflage Bentley. He's the kind of guy who owns a pet piglet, yet still gets a private audience with the Pope. He's the kind of guy whose house features a life-sized statue of himself. In short, he's the kind of guy who posts a shit-load of selfies to Twitter.
