I've read that this is a byproduct of troops overseas.
Oh man, I'm sure this was probably posted here (likely by plug) when it happened and I just missed it before but this is fucking hilarious:

It's still a shitty loophole. I would be fine if they born in the US and moved to whatever country or vice versa. They most likely never stay in America for more than year in their life. For example, Majority of french players were born in France or like Evra moved from Senegal to france. So I can't understand how you can represent a country you never lived in.
It's not to most Americans I've spoken with. They actually appreciate the fact that these guys chose America over Germany and now identify with the country. Plus majority of them have American parents too (mostly military). Some of these guys have not even lived in the US anywhere close to the length of time Balotelli has in Italy. I'm quite certain if I ever chose to naturalize in US, I'd be considered very American. It's why the Italian sentiment seems really absurd to me. I mean seriously, the guy grew up there since he was like a baby and somehow he doesn't feel as strongly as the rest of the Italians? Ridiculous.
I thought Yurt and I were the same person. I wanted to crawl inside his mind so he could understand me and I could feel what it's like to be inside him.

Americans don't give a shit as long as the player is good. If you're just a normal immigrant, most Americans where I'm from (Tennessee) hate you and talk shit about you behind your back and "wish you'd go back to your own country." But, if you're really fucking good at sports and want to play for us, you're one of the family.
We can't know what kind of personal ties they have to the country. I mean I was watching documentary series that was created in anticipation of the game vs Germany. And several of the German American players explained their connection to the America and what kind of ties they had to the country and most of them felt really strongly about the US and were proud to represent it. it's a non-issue imo.

Didn't rate him much before the World Cup, rate him even less now. Plenty of other Italian players who didn't perform though
Not sure what part of the US you're in. But I haven't come across this sentiment in person. it's obviously there and I hear all the time used against illegal immigrants (online) and the like. So you do have a point. I don't see it as an issue that players raised elsewhere choose to play for US. I mean Ameobi did it with Nigeria and I'm quite OK with it.

The only reason why Balo might not feel Italian is because of those same idiots telling him he's not Italian for being black. Those idiot racists are too stupid to realize that.
Racism is a flat circle.
We will dominate.
Don't laugh guys but I still can't watch the World Cup
Football means nothing to me
Football is a flat circle

Shut up Yurt. Verratti is still a juventino. You'll do fine and Allegri will soon guide Italy to the victory.
This is absolutely crazy. "Most" Americans don't do this. Some wackjobs do, but people largely don't spend the time even thinking about other people's circumstances let alone doing stuff like this.
You have a weird outlook on life.
What the fuck are you talking about? Stop generalizing and stick to what is happening in your office.

As a person who lives in Tennessee, this is very much the opinion of a lot of the conservative minded people I live around. I wasn't saying this was my view, just of those around me, including my own parents.

This is an extremely ignorant statement.

So you support a country like Germany? What.
You should say "In Tennessee I have seen" not "Americans".
*posting and driving excuse the typos and grammar*The only reason why Balo might not feel Italian is because of those same idiots telling him he's not Italian for being black. Those idiot racists are too stupid to realize that.

I fucking hate this. Balo is Italian, and he's more Italian than Motta, Camo, Paletta and many others.
He was a fucking massive gigantic problem, but Mario is Mario, just bench him then. It makes no sense to use him as a scapegoat when the biggest issue was team and squad selection.
Injuries (DDR, Verratti etc) and the heat in the north played a way bigger role
OH BABY! The sexual innuendo is high in this post!I wanna see how to feels to be inside me too, I'm down!
Ah, sorry. Missed it, I was probably too drunk.
General Isation reporting for duty
I'll reiterate: Not my opinion. From the people I've known and lived around my entire life, this is the general consensus of what I've heard from those people.
We are both gorgeous northerners
I like the team. I don't care about politics. I think they play good football, and I enjoy watching them, plus they have an Arsenal connection. Sorry I didn't clarify better.
There's a lot of ads for home STD test kits on UTV's world cup coverage. Also this dreadful ad:

dem Madrid leftovers, your excitement is cute
I don't doubt that you know a lot of people who think this way but Tennessee has 6.5m people in it. If you included the entire south (as well as Texas), you'd still make up about 1/3rd the population of the US. Even if every person living in the region was an insane xenophobe and racist, it'd still not make up the majority.
There are a lot of crazy right wing people in the US with awful mindsets who are an embarrassment to our country, but they're not the majority and certainly don't have the typical American viewpoint.
