No I don't like it because I don't like Camorenesi playing for Italy.
I believe international football is representative football, when a NT
is picked what is being communicated is that these players are the
best that this country or football association has been able to
produce, not this is mostly the best we are able to produce plus one
or two from that big country in south america (or where ever else).

If the Maltese guy grew up in Italy and became a professional there,
he represents Italian football, not Maltese football. If he isn't good
enough to make it to the NT it's bad luck indeed. And it would also
stop traitors like Simunic from jumping ship.

This is an idiotic response and frankly I don't want to know your
reasons now.

This proves you're an idiot, in that case. Good riddance.
