Rossi: " Sono milanista da sempre ei miei idoli erano Gullit e Van Basten." 
"I've always been a Milanista and my idols were Gullit and Van Basten"
We're the only Italian team interested in him btw. But the money's a problem. If we don't sell Trezeguet than we can't even think about Rossi.

I think that was a given going into all of this, as far as having to sell Trezeguet
You knew this was going to happen
Spanish Press blast Italy and Rossi Tuesday 16 June, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a quite sensational attack, Spanish newspaper AS has called Giuseppe Rossi 'a traitor' and believes Italy did not deserve to beat the USA.
The Azzurri won 3-1 after going behind late in the first half to a Landon Donovan penalty.
Rossi then came on and changed everything scoring Italy's first and third goal to secure victory.
The 22-year-old Villarreal striker was born in America and lived there until he was 14 when he moved to Italy.
“They play bad, they don't deserve it and they win. Where is the story?” AS wrote in vitriolic fashion.
They described the Azzurri's performance 'as pallid as the new official Italy shirt.'
Italy apparently won because they had 'other virtues' and practiced 'the other football.'
AS praised Rossi, saying: “Thanks to him, Italy played with 13 men.” However, they also called him 'a traitor' and 'the latest Italian trick.'
“Rossi was born in New Jersey, the son of Italian parents. He lived there for 14 years and he is now 22,” AS wrote.
“As a child, he played baseball. He is more American than any other thing.”
To finish, AS likened his goals to patricide, the act of killing one's father.

Wow thats burtal. I think it is an attempt to turn all the bitterness over the ROnaldo/Kaka saga away from Spain? Anyway I can understand American dissapointment but why Spanish? Like really, they should be pleased with their own team finally ending their misery and embarressment. Italy are not even in their group.
spanish ppl should first sort out their internal conflict with the basques and catalunyas which both want/wanted independance from spain and then talk about other countries, btw catalonia has its own national team http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalonia_national_football_team
