As for Amauri, he shouldn't be anywhere near the team. The third category of players are those who have Italian heritage and choose Italy as the first choice, ie Rossi. If Balotelli is a 'Ghanaian' because his parents are, even though he was born in Italy, then why is Rossi an 'American' because he was born there, even though his parents are Italian? Answer - because it suits people.
No, the answer is that you're a racist. That's all. Period.

Why are you so anal about Rossi? If he doesn't want to play for the U.S. why should we even want him?
He stole the opportunity from other young players to play in our Olympic Development system only to go somewhere else. The system helped him, but he betrayed it. That's what makes him a traitor.

Is Balotelli a traitor too?
Balotelli and Rossi are exact opposite cases, one turned down a callup to his homeland and decided to play for his adoptive country, the other turned down a callup for his adoptive one to hold out for his native homeland. Nobody with sound logic can hate both, or at least for that reason

I don't get why you would want a player around who clearly does not feel that he should represent America. I say fuck Rossi, if he isn't into playing for America than I don't want him to

Rossi can play for whomever he wants. I'm just angry we wasted time and resources on that family of rats.

This might be a ridiculous question, but do players actually get paid for NT games? Like a salary, or maybe some amount for appearing?
Or is it just for the so called honor of representing?
I know the federation/government assigns some bonuses for certain achievements, but is that it?

Your angry because of wasted time and resources? Thats a lame excuse, there are plenty of young players who get similar training and never play for the national side why is Rossi so special? It pissed me off when he scored twice against us in the confed cup but what can you do, face it, you wouldn't be making such a shit storm about it if he played for Spain or Brazil
