Don't make a difference to his nationality.

To some people it does...

Okay, glad to clear things up a little.

Ever thinks that Del Piero is an "Italian reject" because he wasn't called up for the Azzurri recently.

 

[Salvatore]

The discussion is about the rules in general. These rules are applied to all FIFA nations and there are loopholes in everything.



Now, if we want to use your birthplace as one of the rules for where you can play, Claudio Gentile could not play for Italy because he was born in Tripoli and spent about a year there.

I don't have a birthplace rule though?

It's not 'dumb' at all.

Yes, remind me again where I said Amauri isn't a good player?

I'm saying that Brazil are short of great strikers at the moment, why dont they call Amauri? Del Piero isnt a 'reject', the same that Raúl isn't a reject because Aragonés didnt pick him yesterday.

Amauri may indeed be better than most Italian strikers. Just because you cannot produce your own doesn't mean you should go and get foreigners to compensate for this imo.

Yeah man and Trez and Ruud van Nistelrooy are terrible forwards because they are rejected by their national teams.

Man this Chiellini must be a terrible defender, after all Materazzi was chosen ahead of him.

Never said you did, man. But some people do have such a rule.

The point of this thread is also to expose some of these ridiculous "rules."

Amauri the Brazilian Reject.
Trezeguet the French Reject.
Del Piero the Italian Reject.
Chiellini the Italian Reject.

NOW I GET IT !!!!! ???

so put it this: If you were an owner of an Italian company, and you got 2 applicants for a job:

-Applicant A is Italian but he is an average worker like anyone else
-Applicant B is an immigrant to Italy but he would make your company better.

who would you hire?

and answer another simple question, where are you from and where do you currently live?

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

I think Amauri should play for Italy, while Delpie should play for Ghana.

 

[Bjerknes]

He doesn't want to answer that because it will make him look foolish for being so harsh on Amauri yet not even being an Italian himself. He supports Italy but he could be from Mars for all we know.

 

[Lion]

hehe. Well Let's wait and see what he comes up with. I think this thread has potential for some insane posts like that thread about the "Juve material" phrase

Man, I created the same thread in Xtratime and people said it was the best thread in a long time. It's such a great discussion though because there are so many loopholes in people's arguments. Really a subjective affair.

 

[Bjerknes]

Anyways, if nobody wants Amauri he can come and play for the United States. I'd take him in with open arms.

 

[Éver]

I am not being harsh on Amauri at all, how am I?

Im not Italian no, dont see why it matter so much to you all. Are you Italians then?

And you're all taking this "reject" thing a bit far.

Those questions don't really help your argument. That is how club teams work not NT's. They are clearly DIFFERENT. Plus with that logic you are saying that how Inter fields a primarily South American team along with ONE Italian only and at times no Italians is the best idea. Think of something better if you want to argue like that.

I'm not going to get involved with this argument because its all opinions and no one is right or wrong in this aspect. Its all opinions which no one will change their mind. So basically its useless to argue but continue arguing.

Interesting.

But one thing is for certain Sarah... there is no such thing as "Italian blood." That argument is void right off the bat.

Yeah it is. And to me in this type of arguement I don't mind if people stick to just one opinion about this issue. But as you said people tend to be very hypocritical about it that it just makes you raise your eyebrows in disbelief.

Camo is half Italian, Amauri is full Brazilian. Thats what I see about this whole thing. Thats why there is nationalities and not monkey teams.

How is Camoranesi half Italian?

He doesn't even know Il Canto degli Italiani.
