Antonio Cassano said Tuesday he hopes there aren't any gays in the Italy team but wouldn't know if there were any.The jovial joker was asked during Tuesday's press conference about a rumour that there are two homosexuals and two metrosexuals in the Italy squad, a question which visibly amused the AC Milan striker."What's a metrosexual?" he asked the questioner. "If they're queer, that's their problem. I hope there aren't any queers in the national team."But if they're queer, it's their business. Are there any? I don't know."The question and answer brought howls of laughter from the Italian press corps after which Cassano turned to the translator and added: "You're not going to translate that to the Polish press, are you?"Homosexuality in football is an issue that comes up often in Italy.
