This year, Spain is king!


I am not one to usually venture into mosh pits, but this celebration would be worth the trip to Madrid. Spain’s World Cup dominance was brilliant; the final game well played. Amidst all of the yellow cards and frustrating gridlock of score during their final match, the team maintained composure and sportsmanship. The game had an interesting twist as well: it wasn’t one of the heavily celebrated macho players, such as Sergio Ramos or David Villa who kicked the winning (and only) goal, but a quieter individual named Andres Iniesta, whose skilled feet secured the victory for his team during the last few minutes of overtime. It was one of the most intense games I’ve seen in a while, and it forced me to walk around the block a few times afterwards to subdue my excitement. Here is a cheer for Spain! Here is a cheer for Iniesta! Well done, I say!
