Brazilians remain to be butthurt of us pirating Costa.

They most definitely wouldn't be if it was Luis Boa Morte, for instance.

Fifa could stop farces like this from happening if they just changed the rules to once you played for a country.... doesn't matter if its friendlies or not you are tied to that country.

Hell i'd even go as far as once you represent country at youth level you are tied to that country.

Switching because you haven't played for that country competitively is such bs.

Yes.

#chupaDiegoCosta

The amount of Calma he will distribute next year.

Iniesta, Xavi, Silva, Xabi, Busquets, Fabregas, Mata etc. behind Diego Costa.

its ok futbol, they have jo and fred goats

Average striker

Fred is great but Jo

Scolari is such a hypocrite. He had no problem with Pepe and Deco neutralizing but now

And also, would Diego Costa have even been called up for the WC? I mean, before the Spain rumours Brazil didn't really care about calling up Diego Costa, apart from one friendly, even though he had been brilliant since last year..

Pepe and Deco had never played for Brazil.

Compare Hulk to Diego Costa and it is like comparing a man to a boy.

Hulk is booed in Brazil. Has trash thrown at him, harassed when at the clubs, benched for inferior fan favorites like Bernard and Lucas Moura....but what does he do?

He keeps on chugging like a boss.

Diego Costa runs like a little girl soon as he can because he doesnt like the fact that two strikers better than him get called up. He is a simple punk. He can be mad that Pato, who is crap, was called up over him, but you gotta keep fighting. Fred, Jo, and Diego Costa would have been his reward...now he gets to go ride the bench for when Del Bosque puts out his boy Torres or even Negredo out there.

Pepe and Deco are brazilians.

I was of the very misinformed opinion that once you played in a FIFA-approved international match for a country, you are not eligible to play for no other country. Isn't that why Argentina called up a very young Messi so Spain wouldn't call him up.

Anyway, I would regrettably admit Fred has been great for Brasil and Costa wouldn't have started anyway...

Pepe and Deco are brazilians.

Brazilians who never played for Brazils NT then a few months later switched to Portugal. Like Costa did

why is diego costa hated? for ditching his country you mean?

as if people here really care what nationality he is.
people are hating to hate.
Brazil didn't care about him before saying he might go to Spain, so all of a sudden he is horrible for not going to his team that picked him second?

half the people disliking him are the same people who wish national team competitions didn't exist.

to be fair, he would have had much more chance to flourish in brazil national team, as anything is an upgrade over Fred, and he would have been an automatic starter!

in spain, although he is still the most in form striker of the list, if soldado, torres (lol), villa, llorente, or negredo heat up their forms, his place will be clealry in danger, and far from guaranteed.

I am 100% certain that D.costa doesn't feel spanish and only chose to play for Spain because he didn't think that he would be called up for Brazil, as I am 100% certain that it was the same with Deco and Pepe..

Pepe and Deco never played for Brazil.... Costa did.

The comparison is just stupid.

So, you don't think that Scolari is a being a hypocrite for criticizing Spain when he did the same with Deco and Pepe?

And the only reason as to why Deco never played for Brazil is because they never called him up. This is what he said regarding playing for Portugal

Deco wrote:I was born in Brazil and it would be a lie to say that I'm Portuguese now and not Brazilian. But I love Portugal and I love playing for the national team

Samething just that he was never called up for the brazilian squad, otherwise he would have played for them.

Nationalizing players in general is a whole different discussion.
The difference, the one you fail to see, is that both Deco and Pepe had never played for Brazil.
Costa played for Brazil's NT earlier this year and is now switching to Spain?

This isn't club football.

I don't like what Diego Costa did either. All I am saying is that Scolari is being a bit of a hypocrite. That was my one and only point.

He's not being a hypocrite, he was asked that and he answered what Mole said.Its 2 different stories
