¡Champiñones! Looked to me like both sides played very well right down to the end, but I should say that I don't really follow or understand football, so I'm glad to see confirmation of what looked to me like unfair play (to say the least: I think everyone felt that boot in the chest). The same thing turned me off in 94, the last time I got interested, when Tassotti broke Luis Enrique's nose with an elbow shot. Anyway, without understanding much, it looked to me like both teams had excellent defense but Spain was better offensively. An exciting win for sure. The local production, the broadcast, the expectation over here in the streets and the ensuing celebration were a pleasure to see. About 30 minutes after the match, nearly all the players were still holding back tears during interviews, and the captain even planted a big kiss right on the mouth of the reporter (his girlfriend, who had been accused of influencing him). I had to laugh, a few of the players' mothers were even interviewed so it looked like one big family. Couldn't have happened at a better time. quote:
Pulpo Paulo is wondering what all the excitement is about, since he already knew the result last week. He will be made a Saint in Spain, I'm sure. San Octavio.
