Spain Rules

[NiNjALatin0]

spain deserved the title 100%!!

They were the best team,they won evry match and played always really good.

Only against Italy they were not that good but the all other matches were amazing.

Germany only had 1 good match and that was against PORTUGAL.

Against Poland they were also good but Poland is not a really good team.

The other matches against austria and the b team from turkey were miserable.

I disagree.. have you ever seen baseball... it's possibly the most mind numbing sport to watch in the world and it's their national sport.

Man... if you knew how much the southamericans hate Spain you wouldn't say it.

Every match we played they wished our defeat.

[MatTriX303]

when latinos (spain, portugal, argentina, mexico or parguay etc.) are in the same group of WC they agree to a pact before the match starts.. in the recent WC in south-africa mexico vs paraguay (1:0) both teams made it to stage 2, because of exactly this result. brazil vs portugal (0:0) exact the same, ronaldo winked to an other brazil player after the match, lame lame lame, but i already knew it before the match starts ... group matches between latino teams upon consultation, waste it Germany!!

You have said the reason why soccer is not a hit in USA.Isn't your stupid xenophobic theory,the reason is that americans can't pay attention to something a long time unless something exceptional happens,is a cultural problem.You can not imagine how attractive it may be twenty minutes without a goal in soccer

As soon as I found out about the Euro Cup (the news comes slowly over here...) I was rooting for Spain all the way, even though my heritage is with England (but they were awful this time 'round!).

¡VIVA ESPAÑA!
