July 11, 2010, four years and two days after Italy, Spain is a world champion.
I saw the game sitting in a bar with a Radler (clear) large. Jan beside me and a German Red T-shirt that said party with the vehemence (and expletives) deserve the best amateur.
The rest of the audience were disappointed and tired of German soccer both , for "total, as he plays the Netherlands in the final we would have to play us." Cycling
back home, I thought once again the advantages being born in the mid: besides that of language, culture, cuisine, to hold three championships in four years is not something for everyone, especially if the teams are different.
Pena multi-culti this euphoria lasted me too little.
this morning I was still so excited in front of my computer screen, watching me photos of the cup and the players (who are pretty good as well be. ..) with the same joy with which I looked at "gli Azzurri", when I happened to open Facebook.
Various Erasmus and sailing companions that I know throughout Spain should still be sound asleep or busy eliminating the hangover.
were awake Well encambio heavy "catalanotes." I say it's heavy with all my love, it's catalanotes not.
A brief summary of their sentences in profile, from Saturday, stays at:
- Netherlands ... Viure Salva'ns of a Infern SIUSPLAU!
- estic al · lèrgia als desenvolupant pops ... (der arme Paul ...)
- Dema did not think for mediocrity independence, not the day ... I just hope we're the greatest number of Catalans, humiliated, but united ...
- I do not doubt that Spain can make history today, it is clear that Catalonia might not be so without pulling the cart, as usual, but nobody tries to deny that CATALONIA made history yesterday, all the Catalan people made a fist on the table and said ENOUGH! Can not turn a blind eye, was clear and CATALAN!
- shame, with q lu beautiful Barcelona was yesterday ...
do not know if I have more worried or more tired. probably give me grief. I imagine sitting watching TV with his senyera, encouraging Holland and thanking those butchers all sins and bad football.
I can not imagine doing anything difficult because they are scenes that I lived in Euro 2008, here in Berlin.
Then I played well as relationships with a limited number of individuals belonging to the category "Catalan political science student with a low propensity for dialogue."
Let it be clear that I am not criticizing the senyera, which looked great on the shoulders of Puyol and Xavi and the scarf was beautiful Villa.
What is critical not to recognize the echo of what enriches a person, today, is to be multiple. Being Catalan is an advantage when coupled with being English, not when it is reduced to exasperated provincialism.
When your bilingual culture pluralistic make you a special being among many, not when you become one Whosoever among a few that look like you.
The English team is better when it runs next to a Basque Catalan and Spaniard puts it in the goal box, while the other defends Madrid.
Just as the German team is best when filled with his army of media: a Nigerian, a Brazilian, a Ghanaian, two Turkish, one Tunisian, one Bosnian, three Poles, and even a English.
Al browse the newspapers of today I've noticed that in the Avui news is well hidden and shown after speaking of the Catalans in the selection and deia.com (newspaper in the Basque country) he leaves room for a certain politician who declares that "the Catalan and Basque teams would have also got, shame that not left. " The rest of Spain shows giant photo of the party.
honestly do not think a Catalan team get win the cup, surely do not get happy that English boy I met last week, son of a Basque and Italian mother, who dreams of playing for Barcelona and speaks perfect German.
I think not get me happy to me.
And I so naive that I thought that this was the world in which, one day my children might burst with joy for having won three world cups!
With three different nations, of course ...
