He could have played for the USA but the young striker who used to play for the great Man United choose his parents native home instead. However, Italy choose not to bring the Left footer to South Africa and some are saying this is pay back for scoring two against his birth country in a 2006 Confederations Cup game. However, the player has had a poor season in Spain with Villarreal due to injury and apparent personal sufferings 9the death of his father due to a long term illness) so he should be cut some slack. But do Italy have the resources to leave such a player at home or did they make a huge mistake?
