Why are women’s pro players expected not to swear?
In the men’s game in high level soccer, players swear all the time. At opponents, at the refs, sometimes even at fans. However its more noticeable, and more talked about when someone sees a women’s player swear during a game.

Mario Balotelli has the quintessential Mario Balotelli game
Mario Balotelli has been off the radar of major soccer stories for a while, struggling with form and injuries the past couple years. He has had a bounce back year this year though for Nice, leading them to qualify for the Champions League next year. Nice defeated PSG 3-1 on Sunday, dealing a potential death blow to PSG’s title hopes. The game was the full Mario Balotelli experience. Balotelli scored a great goal to take the lead for Nice, showing again how talented of a player he is. Later, he pulled a series or tricks and showboating moves, goading Blaise Matuidi into fouling him, and later getting into it with Edinson Cavani. I for one am thrilled Balotelli will be back in the Champions League next year. The world just isn’t the same without Balotelli scoring great goals and pissing people off.
