I just noticed this thread was about Rossi. I think Americans should be proud of Rossi more than anything. Personally, If I see or know that there's someone that was born in Lebanon or even raised in Lebanon playing for a top team I would really be proud of him.
Too many Lebanese had the chance to play for our NT but took the chance playing for another NT where they have more chances of shining and it's their right and I was proud of them when they were achieving.
I could be wrong, or maybe because Lebanon is such a weak team when it comes to Football.
