That look that Lalas gave Ballack at the end 🤨 He looked annoyed. He is very passionate for US team. Also, he was the first American to play in Serie A. Funnily enough all his 3 goal came against Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan. Respect 👍

I don't blame him. Although , he was born in the USA, he grew up as an Italian; his whole family is from there, and then he moved to Italy at 12 years old. He could not deny his roots. To me, he is not a traitor.

Poor guy is so injury prone. He had so much talent.

haha michael spoke the truth that was being all sugar coated by Rossi and hard swallowed by the other guys.

I think he is regretting that decision. Such a talented player but never represent his italy in the world cup.

Actually Rossi's answer was MUCH better than Ballack's - I know it's an old fashioned way of thinking, but anyone who choose his NATIONAL team based on the best chance to play for/ and win titles is a disgrace to the jersey.

Italy has 4 World Cup titles, suck that.

He made the right choice

nope he got into 2 injuries and he is back and he is scoring and assisting in every game he plays so i feel someone is butthurt!

look rossi says in his twitter nj will always be home he goes back to the us in every summer. he says he feels like an italian as a footballer but an american as a person. italy is 1 of the top footballing countries in the world and rossi played there for parma youth between the ages of 12-17. y'all just mad he's awesome but no playing for you Xx god ballack was an arse lol

um no he does not.. When you are Italian or Italian American The Majority would play for Italy and not USA if ui were in his cleats id play for The Azzurri as well i am 100% and i am an Italian American I would wanna play for a team who has ALWAYS been passionate about the sport.. we breath Calcio and everything is Calcio so ur opinion is invalid! Fino alla fine e' Forza Italia e' L'America. God bless the USA

what is Jersey without italians?

Italy and USA both out of 2018 world cup...

When your Italian like I you grow up as an Italian in America my first language was Italian and I wish I could live their but if I played calcio I would choose the Azzurri and the USA is my home still but if I had to choose that's where my blood came from we are not traitors

The US have matched up very well with Italy in recent years. As for which is the better team, of course Italy is. But head to head, it's been a tossup really.

I just had a US soccer expert tell me that friendlies do matter.

Pffft! LOL!!!!

Rossi is too busy getting injured.

2009 confed cup usa final Italy out in group stage. 2010 world cup usa r16 Italy out in group stage. rossi has yet to establish himself on the Italian team. karma is a bitch just like rossi

I bet he wishes he was with the US now.

Good thing hes not playing for USA. Hes always injured we dont need him anyway.

he can still switch back. Comeback to your motherland and help USA win the world cup 2014

LOL

We beat Italy 1-0

not it isn't. lol.

Lol clever comeback...said no one ever

Someone fire Alexi, seriously he is terrible.

International football isn't a "choice" like club football is. Rossi was born in the US, therefore he should play for US. It should not even be an option to play for Italy. Traitor
