It should have been either Belgium or Albania. Playing for England, Serbia or Turkey would have made no sense. Obviously I would have preferred if he'd picked us, but he was born and raised in Belgium, so it's a decision I can't criticize.

I hate it when players pick a country they really don't really have much to do with. Like Diego Costa spent a few years in Spain, now he's going to play for them. So dumb.

Well, in the case of Thiago Motta, for example, he never had a chance of playing for Brazil, so I can kind of understand his decision (plus his grandparents were Italian). The same for Paletta. But yeah, Diego Costa's example makes no sense. He's the hot stuff nowadays, wouldn't have had any problems being called by Brazil. |

I think he went where he thought he'd have the most likely chance of winning the WC |

Yeah sometimes even though I don't agree with players not playing for their birth nation, if they aren't getting called up then it's not really a big deal. It would be funny if Brazil won it. Diego Costa turning down the chance to win the World Cup for Brazil, in Brazil. This post has been edited by kurtsimonw: Apr 24 2014, 11:18 PM |

Chelsea fans were chanting we'll see you next year at Costa and he waved at them. What a clown.

Andros Townsend now out for the World Cup. Do we even have XI English players left?

Got to be the Ox, been impressed with him this year. Don't think Sterling will be anywhere near as effective in an England shirt.
