Rossi 'should've chosen USA'
By Football Italia staff

Giuseppe Rossi’s agent said he “should have chosen” to represent the USA rather than Italy after a complex career.

The Fiorentina striker was born in New Jersey, but moved to his father’s nation as a teenager to pursue a career in football.

“In hindsight, going back to when he chose between representing Italy or the USA, we should have chosen the USA,” agent Andrea Pastorello told Radio Bruno.

When still a Manchester United reserve, Rossi turned down a training camp call-up from US Coach Bruno Arena in 2006.

‘Pepito’ has since played club football in England, Spain and Italy, but his career was wracked by injury problems.

He eventually managed only 29 senior caps for Italy, scoring seven goals.

Rossi spent the last six months on loan at Levante, as he was not playing regularly for Fiorentina.

It wouldn't have mattered for any of the parties involved. His agent should shut the fuck up.

Yes it would. If we wanted to play at a World Cup, he should have chosen the US. But instead he was a moron, probably listening to his moron parents. In some capacity, I actually pity the guy now. Clearly this whole thing has taken quite the toll on him. If not, his agent wouldn't have said this.

His international career was hampered by his injuries anyway. If he had stayed fit, I am sure he had a very decent chance of being a part of Italy's team today.

In any case I understood his decision. He's an Italian American, but more importantly he lived in Italy during his childhood (2000-2004) and he represented Italy at the youth level too. If anything it was a dumb financial move as he would have been far more marketable as a member of the US NT.
