Balotelli tags himself as 'coolest, funniest, best looking' player in Italy's World Cup squad

AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli has reportedly branded himself as the coolest, funniest and best looking player in Italy's World Cup squad.

The former Manchester City player, who has never been shy on confidence, enjoyed a strong season in Serie A and is likely to lead the attack for Italy in Brazil, starting with their opening Group D game against England.

According to The Independent, to mark a product launch, Balotelli interviewed himself in a video where he said that he is the 'quickest, the most technical, the funniest, the coolest and the best looking' player in the squad.

Balotelli went on to talk up Italy's chance of success at the World Cup and even claimed that he expects to finish as top scorer in Brazil and win the Golden Boot, which he hopes to put in his wardrobe among his shoes.

Stating that although he struggled at the beginning of Euro 2012, Balotelli however, said that it all went well for him after that, adding that Italy is a stronger team now then it was in 2012.
