World Cup Champions - 2010

--

WE DID IT !!!

First time in history. Spain wins the world cup!! the country goes crazy!!!

I watched the match with a few selected friends. :-) This is us celebrating right after the match.



There was a lot of talking on the Spanish camp about Casillas (The Spanish keeper) and his girlfriend Sara Carbonero. She works for one of the TV stations retransmmiting the Spanish world cup matches and is the one doing the interviews to the players. At the beginning of the world cup there was a lot of talking about her distracting Casillas by just being in the pitch behind the goal. As it turned out it was all bullocks.

Right after winning the world cup, Sara interviewed Casillas (which incidentally is the capitan) and this is what happened!



After drinking the champaign it was time to go and join the party so we headed for the traditional place where people celebrate Celta's sucesses (Celta is the local football team). Miguel and his sister Bea bailed out on us and let Alvaro and myself on our own. We had to walk about 4 Km to join the party but it was worth it!






There was a lot of dancing! :-)


The place was flooded with water from the fountain








On my way back (another 4 Km) I found another area where people were celebrating in a different way...with a football ball!

Oh what a night!! it may never happen again but at least it hapened once in my lifetime. :-)
Totally worth it. :-)


I think I shouldn't end this entry without adding a couple of things:

The first one is Camacho celebrating the Spanish goal (Camacho played on the national team for many years and he even became the coach of the national team on the Japan and South Korea World Cup in 2002.




The second is a piece of history that will probably be shown in Spain time and time again for the next 20 years or so...

Iniesta's goal!
