He can if he wants to, yes. He holds Spanish citizenship.

It would be ridiculous if FIFA allows Diego Costa to play for Spain after playing for Brazil!

It will be like futsal, where other nations are actually like Brazil's second and third teams...All 5 starting players for Spain are Brazilians who grew up in Brazil. 3 out of 5 Italian players are also Brazilians who grew up in Brazil. Russia has a black Brazilian as their pivot (most important position). Etc!

It is one thing to have someone like Thiago. Who, although is Brazilian (son of Mazinho), lived his whole life in Spain and can actually be considered Spaniard and feel like he belongs there. But all Diego Costa wants (and many other secondary players) is to participate in International competitions at all costs. That is just absolutely pathetic!!!

I really dont want Big Phill to call him. Brazil has 5 fucking stars, we dont need this Diego Costa. He means fuck all to our history and he embarasses me...

In the spirit of the clash between Juve and Madrid tonight, one of the best individual performances of all time by a footballing god:

EDIT: Remembering that tie, I can't believe Juve won at the Bernabau with Molinar, Marchioni, Amauri and Manninger in the starting XI! :lol:

Why can't the leagues just play on when there are international breaks? Would be a nice test for the B-Teams of the clubs and a chance for those who do not have as many internationals i.e. the smaller clubs. More and More players would simply chose club instead of country. This would be an important step towards the abolition of International football. It all depends on the TV deals, but broadcasters pay so much more for league football, that they would be easily convinced to show it instead of international football. I hope this prevails one day.

True and this should tell people how serious I am about this.We are arguably favourites to win the World Cup. Still even if we were 3-0 up in the last minute of the final, I would still try to abolish international football in the very last second before the final whistle.

Wait, isnt this only for the teams in FIFA's qualifying round?

If I am not mistaken, Mourinho will have almost all our players for him to train. I think this could actually be the very first productive international break!
