Viva Espana!


The Eurocup was won today by Spain against Germany, 1-0. The picture above is of Spain's goalie, Casillos, who just might be the most beautiful soccer player ever. We went to Brit's Pub in downtown Minneapolis and amongst a sea of beer drinking fans cheering for both Germany and Spain, I, in my red tennis shoes, cheered for Spain with all my heart and soul. I haven't always been a soccer fan, but when in Spain, do as the Spaniards do, and it is a really, really fun game to watch. The fans make it fun too, as it is always raucous and loud and very exciting, no matter who scores a goal. Most of my friends were for Germany, and I must admit that I thought Germany would be the winner, so it was quite a happy surprise for me when Spain won! Podemos! Animo! A good day.
