I love watching this guys celebrations as much as his goals. Gets me amped. Should bring a montage of just him celebrating his goals to the gym, and it would be enough to get you fired up.

I know for a few of us Aussies on here watching at midnight or even later, it is hard watching that late and trying to stay quiet in a house of sleeping people when you have Costa celebrating like crazy.

Disappointed he scored eventually. A couple more games without scoring and he could have been dropped for Spain and rested for Chelsea :(

it wouldn't be this simple at all....

He wouldn't be dropped if he didn't score now, especially because after next month's international break we won't have another for months...

A goal against Luxemburg is hardly what will make or break his career at Spain. Or the matches next month...

I know it would not end his international career, I was just hoping he would be dropped to the bench for next month's matches.

The more the Spanish media are convinced that he is not the man to lead their attack, the better for us...

Oh ffs, not again? I thought this was the last round of international matches for a while.

Oh and I saw his miss the other night:

He isn't good at scoring on that kind of angle. He's already missed that kind of chance twice for Chelsea (against Everton and Sporting Lisbon). He doesn't seem to get his body shape right, well not enough to give him a proper angle to curl the ball into the far corner. Hopefuly he improves on that because with his ability to get in behind teams he will have plenty of chances like that.

The Spanish media doesn't decide anything though, otherwise del Bosque wouldn't be there anymore.

He was basically skinned alive by them during the WC as well as a few players...

His goal against Arsenal is basically the same thing... I don't think he has a problem with the angle. His shots were saved then and this one was missed and he scored from the same position (sort of) against Arsenal.

That's not a problem at all. Just a bad choice at the moment or lack of luck (Howard's save was outstanding and I think Rui Patricio also did a good job although in that position the player just has to score)

Against Arsenal, Costa was central to the goal; Szczesny had advanced, and with the ball on the bounce, that allowed Costa to simply lift the ball over the keeper.

Brilliant goal but very different to the kind of situation/angle that I'm talking about.
