Giuseppe Rossi on the Cover of ESPN The Magazine

2010 -- ESPN The Magazine -- Giuseppe Rossi

Much to the disappointment of U.S. fans, New Jersey-born soccer stud Giuseppe Rossi will be wearing the Italian colors this summer in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Looking at Rossi’s childhood and achievements so far, ESPN The Magazine writer Jeff Bradley tells the story of how the soccer phenom became a member of the Azzurri in “The One Who Got Away” in the new issue on newsstands today.  The Mag has an Outside The Lines complementary piece as well, “Clearing the Dirty Air,” in which Ryan McGee highlights NASCAR’s Busch brothers and their rivalry both on and off the track. And…“Player X,” NBA, talks contracts and what the salary cap does for the league.
