Cassano says no to Balotelli room share

Italian soccer's most famous mavericks, Antonio Cassano and Mario Balotelli, look set to lead Italy's attack at Euro 2012. But the pair will not be spending all their time together at the tournament after AC Milan's Cassano knocked back Balotelli's request for them to be roommates as well as teammates in Poland and Ukraine. "I'm not worried about not having had much time to try them out together," Italy coach Cesare Prandelli told a press conference on Thursday. "They are so in tune with each other that Mario asked to sleep in the same room as Cassano. But Cassano said no, that being in the room together too is too much".
