Mario Götze is a German footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Borussia Dortmund and the Germany national team. You guys are racist and stupid! He made Germany win against Argentina! Argentina is my favourite country and lionel Messi is also the best! But Mario is the worst! Argentina lost because of Mario scored more goals than them and Argentina almost beat them but they just lost! It was all Mario's fault! I hate him SO MUCH!
Great potential to become the best, very talented
Great player with great ability!
Mario Götze is a legend. Very underestimated.
