    If Camo is only half Italian shouldn't a full blooded Italian be chosen before him?
    You'd think so, but apparently not. Half-blooded Italians with skill are better than full-blooded Italians without skill.

    What are the odds on the Monkey NT match? Do you think they have any chance in beating our American blood?

    Seriously? Both parents are Italian and because of birth place you think that the son/daughter isn't? They might feel connected to the country, but they aren't Argentinian in the slightest.
    Wait a minute, so you ancestry over rules your modern nationality?

    Top response Andy, hypocrisy not getting you very far is it?

    If Amauri starts playing for Italy now, and I suddenly think "yeah he is playing great, its fine, im not bothered that he is Brazilian anymore".

    That would be hypocritical.

    You can pull me up when you see me like this.

    Well, that's just obvious.
    Indeed, but Azzurri fans will not say anything about having a non-Italian on the national team because he's doing well for them.

    The fact that you don't speak out when Camo takes the pitch in blue while saying no to Amauri is utter hypocrisy. It's obvious hypocrisy and you must be a little young to realize it then.

    But they were born and raised in another nation. Who says the famigilia was hardcore Italian anyway? What if they wanted to leave Italy for a reason and become assimilated with another culture?
    They could have been raised by eating Italian food, learning the language and supporting and loving it. They could have moved to see if they could have had better pay, or because they were in danger. Anything really.

    Sweet, so you also have Cote D'Ivoire-ian blood? Does your black blood ever have fights with your American blood while flowing around your blood stream?

    Well its obviously going to look hypocritical to you two, if you have the opposite opinion about Camo isnt it?

    Anyone who sees it like I do, will see it's not hypocritical.

    We aren't really being hypocritical. If Camo can play then Amauri should play.
