quote:

Spain striker, Diego Costa was angry and attacked journalists by calling them “silly” when asked about his physical style of play in their 1-0 victory over Iran on Wednesday evening.

The Atletico Madrid striker netted his third goal of the tournament, albeit in fortuitous circumstances, to edge Spain past a stubborn Iran side.

The former Chelsea striker was involved in plenty of physical battles during the game and was accused of stamping on the foot of Iran goalkeeper, Alireza Beiranvand in the first half.

He was named man of the match for his display, but in his interview after the game, the former Chelsea forward was visibly irked by a question from an Iranian journalist. The 29-year-old was asked about the way he provoked Iran’s players with his playing style, but the forward was in no mood to issue a mundane response.

He said, “I don’t know what match you’ve seen. In the first half they were provoking us all the time. “You have to come and see the match as it is, not because it’s your country, and you come to ask a silly question.”

I can't stand Costa, but the keeper's reaction to Costa grazing his foot was pathetic. It made me sit back and question why I was rooting for Iran.
