Our favorite personality on the pitch Mario Balotelli put his focus on Italy's World Cup opener against England on hold on Monday when he announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Fanny Neguesha. Balotelli informed fans of the good news on his Instagram account by posting a picture of where he proposed as well as a photo of his fiancée's new rock.
