yeah, hes naturalized through his wife.

But he's not Italian, he has no one of Italian heritage in his family tree.

Fuck, even his wife's not Italian.

The only reason why he is getting citizenship is because his wife got it first,and they've hung around the peninsula for more than 5 years.

I'm sorry, I can understand players like Rossi and Camoranesi, who actually have Italian ancestry in their family, but someone like Amauri is strictly doing this so that he can play in a World Cup.

why doesn't he go play for Turkey, then. They already have a couple of Brazilians. He'll fit right in

 

[KB824]

And if anyone thinks that I am backtracking on my original stance since this was brought up years ago, no I am not.

I've always felt this way.


If you're not good enough to play for the country of your birth or your family's heritage, too fucking bad.

Play better

 

[Bjerknes]

If Amauri can obtain Italian citizenship, he's an Italian. That's all that matters as far as I'm concerned.

i think theres a difference between getting naturalized through the proper channels and just for playing purposes, amauri clearly fits the former. As for hes not "italian" how come no fuss was made of virechovod and ones like him? He's as italian as we are american.

 

[JuveJay]

Idiot? You're the one who didn't make himself clear, douche.

But I don't prefer to talk with you anymore. You're probably another Azzurri fan who doesn't live in Italy, judging by your profile.

You should pay more attention, as your second sentence proves, I already explained my background.

I guess by your logic Rossi is Italian, so you have no complaints. As I said, it comes down to whatever suits people.

Sorry man he used the word Douche, his argument wins...

 

[JuveJay]

That's simply unfair, I didn't know we were using American rules.

Yep, we are.

Welcome to 2003, i.e. "The American Juventuz Invasion"

So let me ask you this then. What was the purpose of him being naturalized?

And why did it take this long?? Or better yet, why did it take his wife this long to be naturalized? they met while he was playing in Napoli back in 2000-2001.

I'll tell you why.


Because all this time he was hoping to get called up to the Brazilian national team, then he realized that "Shit, I'm NEVER going to get called up to Brazil. Cynthia, get yourself naturalized so that I have a chance to play in the world cup"

 

[GordoDeCentral]

So let me ask you this then. What was the purpose of him being naturalized?

though discussing his motives is too much of a shot in the dark, but having lived in italy for so long maybe he wants to stay there.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

he actually did get called up by brazil

 

[swag]

It would still seem bizarre to me that a guy could become a legal citizen of another country, he could get consigned into military service and blown up in defense of that country, but somehow he couldn't play for their national soccer team. That is pretty f*ed up in my book.

 

[KB824]

he actually did get called up by brazil

Yes, and we all know how that went. He only got called up as a last minute replacement for Fabiano, to which Juve put the ixnay on that move because the match was on the same day as a Juve match.

Look, if he was good enough to be called up to Brazil, and not in some emergency situation as a last minute replacement in a friendly, then this would have been over a long time ago.

The fact of the matter is, he hasn't been called up since then, and he isn't going to unless there are a huge rash of injured brazilian forwards betweennow and June.

Really, when/why did he not play?

he can stay there as long as he wants as long as he has a work visa. My point is, why has it taken him so long for him and his wife to become naturalized? They've both been in the country since 2000

so what you re really questioning is how committed he is to the jersey? i think lippi is best positioned to establish that.
