Rossi is an Italian because he is the son of Italians. Balotelli is an Italian because his entire cultural matrix is Italian. It doesn't always have to be one or the other. Amauri, for example, has neither. How so? Rossi is an Italian because he is the son of Italians. Balotelli is an Italian because his entire cultural matrix is Italian.

MAD ... you must be joking if you want anyone to believe that Inter can be construed, or even misconstrued, as "Italian". Bayern Munich are more Italian than Inter. maybe if Inter had started Santon more than 8 times out of, what, 28 games? … then i might consider him part of their starting line-up, but seeing as there is usually someone else, most often a particular Argentine, back there, I revert to considering Inter a pretty completely non Italian team.

Only if they have a Del Piero-ish year can they force Lippi to call them up. I think Cassano and Miccoli have the same chances.

What I meant is that you should only be considered Italian if you have the blood ties through YOUR family. I forgot about the living in a place rule. They should be citizens as they are part of the country but not considered a true Italian. Oh, I forgot.

How does living in Italy for 10 years make one Italian but not being born in and spending one’s entire life in Italy like Balotelli? I think what you’re saying is that one should be able to claim the blood ties that facilitate Italian citizenship. Well, that’s not really how the world works anymore. There are all kinds of Italians now, and all of them are equally valid IMO. = I agree with you ... By Bobo | March 17th, 2009 at 11:35 am
