Full of Bologna: Giuseppe Rossi back in Série A

He seems to forget that for people not named Messi or Cronaldo, Father Time decides when it stops.

30 caps and 7 goals for Italy in the end.

 

Still cant help but think “bastard” every time. Not aggressively but ruefully.

 

I like how he gives a shout out to all but 1 of the 10 clubs he played for in his career there.

yep no mention of RSL from 2020 and he releases that quote in English

should have been in Italian and Spanish ...

we did need him and he spurned us - he can take a flying leap.

Am I bitter? yes.

 

An Ameriphobe til the end.

 

Pretty much admitting he didn’t wear the RSL shirt proudly and didn’t give his all for the team. No wonder he didn’t last long there.

 

absolutely

 

Hope he doesn't need a kidney from anyone on here. I don't mind that he chose Italy, but as Russell from the Cosby Kids would say, Giuseppe is like an unemployed school teacher...No Class.

 

He's launching a podcast:

Here we go!!! Finally!! Welcome to PEPITO’S TAKE!! A podcast alongside Giuseppe Rossi talking about the beautiful game and more! No more being quiet. It’s time to get things off my chest.

If he ever features a cool guest like Freddy Adu then maybe I’ll check it out.

 

I've got the perfect angle for him: cover US-eligible Yanks Abroad who play for other countries. Huge market potential.

 

Cringe level: above average

 

Probably would have behooved him to play for the USMNT if he wants to really break into the US soccer media space but hey what do I know?

 

I hope he doesn't get injured on the set.

 

idk... I am always surprised how many football fans that are in this country that could care a less about the USMNT. A lot of Italian Americans support for Italy first.

 

Can't we always make fun of GTL?

 

Oh yes. Yes we do.

I hope he has Hugh Dallas on.
