Defending Guiseppe Rossi and His Decision to Play for Italy Instead of the United States

Guiseppe Rossi

In the eyes and opinions of many of you, I am about to defend the indefensible: the decision of Guiseppe Rossi to play for the Italian National Team instead of the United States National Team. This issue came to head this week, with many calling Rossi a Judas or Benedict Arnold, because on Monday Rossi scored two of Italy's 3 goals against the US at the Confederations Cup in South Africa.
