A trio of La Roja's World Cup squad were born outside of the country but that won't be an issue according to a man who enjoyed a similar experience

Diego Costa, Thiago Alcantara and Rodrigo Moreno are at ‘home’ playing for Spain according to European Championship winner Marcos Senna.

Senna - like Costa, Thiago and Moreno – was not born in Spain, but went on to play for La Roja, despite his Brazilian heritage.

Atletico Madrid striker Costa is the only one of the quartet who has actually played for Brazil at senior level before he controversially swapped allegiances in 2013.
