Ok, there is something I noticed and I might be way off the mark, but I want to ask something the guys who seem to be pro-Rossi the most.

So...

1. How many of you have Italian roots?
2. How many of you are from the USA?
3. How many of you support the Azzurri and prefer them to the NT of the country you live in?

I expect only one negative answer in only one of the questions, but I could be wrong.
1) Yes
2) No
3) Yes. My story is almost like Rossi. I was born in Canada while my parents were visiting family here in Toronto. I was a premature baby. I spent alot of my childhood and adolescent years in Italy, but moved to Toronto later on. I have both an Italian and Canadian citizenship, I consider myself 100% Canadian, and 100% Italian. Therefore I believe I have the right to cheer for both of my teams.

This is pretty much the same case for Rossi.

Rossi is a quality player, yes Aguero is better, but if we had to resort to Rossi as an alternative I'd be more than happy. He'd bring quality to our attack, and people who have this stupid ass bias that he is a "traitor" should see the bigger picture and what he can do for our club.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. I like to think that I support Italy, Germany, and the United States all equally, being as I have roots in the first two and live in the third. Italy maybe I support a bit more since I know the players better and pay attention to Serie A. And it's not like I am saying "OH LAWD ITALIA IS WINNIN DA EUROSSSSSS," I'm realistic about it.

Now I have a question to you, what is the point you are trying to make with this? I have already said on more than one occasion that Rossi is good, but Aguero is better and I would prefer him at Juve.

How are we all going to react if we are unable to get either Aguero or Rossi...
Depends what else is done with the money.
1. Yes
2. Yes

This could be my answer. I have similar roots and live in the US but the difference is I support my country instead of the Europeans.

It's funny how Alen criticises the Italian-Americans for cheering for Italy and loving the Azzurri players and not supporting the US.

Here in Australia the "Croatians" here do the exact same thing! They all support Croatia, wear the jerseys, sing the chants and hate the Australian NT. Just goes to show that this sort of behaviour isn't strictly limited to people of Italian descent.

And we have had it just as bad as the US in terms of players being born in our country, playing for and attending the AIS - The Australian Institute of Sport which is taxpayer funded - and then going on to represent the country of their parents. The majority of the defectors we've had recently went on to play for the Croatian NT.

If they hate the Australian NT while living there, they're morons. You are absolutely right about that and I support those words. It's not just Azzurri fanboys who are the problem.

But you have fervent support for Italy, unlike your other country. I didn't see you cheering for Canada when you played us at Ford Field. So that's why your credibility comes into question. You like the better team because well... they're better. And that's all it is.

Well should we support maybe Russia then? Would that be ok with you guys? It's entirely reasonable to support the team(s) which you have roots in :sergio:.
Lol, well it wasn't intended for you. People should support who they want. I wonder if the hardcore USA or Azzurri patriots support the USA or Azzurri women's cricket teams.

:lol: The National Team doesn't represent the country as a while. People have a right to opinion. I don't hate the U.S and if there in a tournament I expect/hope they do well but in the end I want Italy to win it.

What if you're a really diverse mix? By this retarded logic I know some people who could be supporting half of Europe.
Then you figure out what works for you. When Italy plays, I support Italy. When Germany plays, I support Germany. When they play each other, I cry. Very simple. I'm Neapolitan, Sicilian, Roman, Barese, and Calabrese. That's 1/5th of goddamn Serie A, but here I am on a Juventus forum. But once again, what does it matter who I support?

We have a cricket team?

Do you support Canada? Actually do any of the Canadians here care at all for their NT because we have plenty of members from there but I've never seen it.
