[Satire] Suarez texts Gerrard while Balotelli texts Wenger after Italy beat England at World Cup

Steven Gerrard and Mario Balotelli

England suffered a 2-1 loss to Italy in their World Cup ‘Group of Death’ opener. While the Three Lions gave a spirited performance, the Azzurris won the tactical battle and came away with all three points.

But after the game, as the players went back to their locker rooms, the first thing they did was grab their mobile phones to check their messages.

Steven Gerrard had a couple of messages from his family and Liverpool team mate Luis Suarez. Although they are BFFs when they wear the red shirt and play in front of the Kop, the conversation was anything but friendly as their international commitments came between the pair.

Meanwhile, after impressing for Italy at a major tournament yet again, AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli was already busy trying to engineer a move back to the Premier League.

After hearing a lot about the reported interest from North London club Arsenal ever since the season ended, he decided to text the Gunners boss Arsene Wenger.

Things didn’t go exactly as he’d planned.
