    Dear Giuseppe Rossi

    Dear Giuseppe Rossi,

    I was pretty pumped when I thought you were going to play for my team in the world cup (Italy)...
    Then i found out Lippi didn't take you for the 29 player training camp...
    You still might make the 23 man roster, but you could have really helped my home country (USA)...

    Regards,

    still a chance, but being left out of the 29 man training roster (with out having coppa italia ties) is not seen as promising. Hope I'm wrong.

    He went with his heart and chose Italia. Cheers to him, even if he doesn't make the Italian squad for 2010.

    USA head coach Bob Bradley's brother wrote that ESPN article about Rossi. Soccer in America is a very small world.

    And Rossi's Spanish club didn't let him go to the camp because they had a mid-week game. Rossi is very much in Lippi's plans.

    nice. I want him on the team bad. The article was nothing we didn't know.. he's said he considers himself American in everyday, except when on the pitch, he feels Italian. I can understand

    Striker - no argument about it, unless Villarreal's and Fiore's transfer policy has been let down by bad scouting

    Not much of a surprise to me. Lippi likes his tried and trusted. What other reason does he have for not including the likes of balotelli. Yeah he's a hot head but so was Cassano and he got plenty of callups to prove himself.
