Is time to talk about football. As you know
past month took place the Eurocope in Poland and Ukraine. The first rival for
Spain was a hard one: Italy. Some Italian footballers had been accused of
rigging football matches in Italy, which had caused great controversy. Things
didn’t start well and such a match ended with a draw (1-1) . The second match
was against Croatia. A score draw would qualify Spain
and eliminate Italy. Italian media published covers telling Spain will draw on
purpose in order to get rid of Italy. However it will not occur because Spain
had kept the most painful revenge for them. Spain suffered a lot and was about
losing along many times during the match but finally Navas scored at the
eightieth minute. In quarterfinals Spain would play Portugal. Spain had two
days less to rest and prepare that match. That is why Portugal set out a very
physical match. They put a big pressure from the first minute and withstood
running ninety minutes. They had high chance of scoring. In the overtime
Portuguese football players were exhausted and Spain controlled the whole extra
time and had three great opportunities to score. However they were not
successful and the match would decide with penalties. Xabi alonso was in charge
of throwing the first one. The goalkeeper stopped it. Every Spanish people
feared the worst thing. Time for Portugal. Casillas stopped the shot too. Then
both Spain and Portugal scored the second penalty. Sergio Ramos, nicknamed “the
bullfighter” scored the third one by making the famous panenka’s shot. This time Portugal failed throwing the ball
into the crossbar. If Cesc scored Spain would be qualified. Cesc looked at the
ball and said it: “Please go inside”. The goalkeeper was about stopping it but
ball hit the left post and went inside. Ronaldo, Pepe or Mourinho received what
they deserve. They are really bad persons and in this film only the good
character would win. Spain played France in semi-final. No one wanted France in
Spain because they had always won us in any official match. There is a great
rivalry between both countries since many years ago as far as sport is
concerned. Lately they have accused Spanish sport persons of taking drugs to
improve their fitness in competition, which is not true of course. They are who
really take drugs and even so, they are not able to win anything. The revenge
took place that day. Spain won with two Xabi Alonso’s goals. In the final would
wait Italy. Spain would play this cheater team again. Balotelli said the day
before that he would scored four times. The final was amazing. The most perfect
football match played by Spain. The match Spain needed in its history. Silva
headed the first goal in the fourteenth minute. Xabi made an amazing pass in
the fortieth minute and Jordi Alba scored the second one. The second part was
another display of nice football that Spain humiliated Italian footballers with
continuous passes. In the eighty-fourth minute Fernando Torres scored again in
a Eurocope final. And four minutes later he assisted Mata who scored the fourth
and final goal. All Spanish people enjoyed watching that
spectacle. We remembered the USA94 match that Luis Enrique was hit by
Tassoti and referee didn’t see penalty. Italy is the most hated team in the
world. It plays a defensive football. It provokes rival like Materazzi did with
Zidane. (he said: I wish your daughter to be raped and killed soon) . Yesterday,
everyone wanted the win of Spain except Italian people. Italian people are
embarrased because of the yesterday humilliation. They deserve suffering as
much as possible. Yesterday, football was fair and once more won the good
character. The movie once more had a nice end. Viena, Cape Town, and Kiev. Any
national team has ever won three championships in a row. We are not aware of
what this team is doing. We don’t want to wake up from this dream.
Unfortunately someday we will miss these magic years. This is the win of a
team. All of them did a perfect match. All of them avoided us to think of
unemploymend, debt and crisis. Life in Spain continues to be hard for most
people today. In any case, thanks for such temporary
happiness we had yesterday. We are very proud of you. We are very proud of
being Spanish. Long live Spain !!!
