What size calipers is it they use to get the percentage?
He was born a son of Italian immigrants and has spent half of his life in Italy, learning how to play football in Italy. I'm sure he has every right to want to play for the Azzurri.

If you want to be that touchy about nationality that's fine with me, but it's you who called him Italian in the first place. It's you who calls Vinman Italian.
I don't really care about Rossi. But I think the argument that he's "more Italian, than American" is flat out stupid.

And I've never called Vinnie an Italian. That's made up.:D

Oh really? So Americans don't call Italian Americans Italians? That's new.

The thing is with Rossi you can't be sure. He really has a dual nationality. I don't see on what basis you could say he's not Italian.

Yeah right. He played for Parma ever since he was 13. The learning you do before that is irrelevant. It is based on talent. From 13 to 18, that's what matters.
While those were important years for him, his talent really developed at an early age playing in the U.S. he played for Olympic Development teams, chief. You can't deny he developed here first before moving to Italy.

A Lebanese dunce in Canada who likes the Azzurri, typical.

Go drown in Niagara Falls or go back to Beirut. Perhaps Nasrallah will give you a little more respect.
