World Cup Trophy Parade July 12 2010 Madrid Spain My photos and video I went to see the truck with the players of Spain holding the World Cup trophy. Here are the pictures and video I took. Dario M: By the time the Champions truck reached the corner of San Bernardo and Gran Via it was 9:15 pm. I doubt the truck can reach the final stage before 11 PM Dario: The World Cup passed 10 feet in front of me. It is shiny. Dario: Iniesta and Torres look like little kids. Iker looked really tired and there were girls chasing the truck calling his name! It was funny. The extra goal keeper and Pique where the ones partying the most and playing with the crowd. Video:

Spain Finalist of WoldCup 2010

Spain Finalist of WoldCup 2010 World Cup is going on these days. Octopus Paul has predicted that Spain will be the World Cup winner and everybody is going crazy with him. Until few weeks ago I was skeptical of seeing Spain ever win the World Cup in my lifetime. I've followed them in 9 world cups. In the German World Cup I even attended one of the matches live. This year it looked more of the same, with Spain having really annoying sports media and even more annoying TV commentators. They started loosing and then they couldn't play well after that either. They won their last match of the first round thanks to the mistakes of the rival team Chile whose goal keeper was at fault for Spain's first goal. Chile made also the mistake of playing violently resulting in a red card early in the match. After that it was easy for Spain. Portugal the team Spain met in the next round was not a very good team with the exception of their hunky goalkeeper! With Paraguay, Spain can give t...

They played joyfully, beautifully, unpretentiously, and here they are top of their group passing to the next round of the world cup. USA 1 Algeria 0 World Cup South Africa 2010 So embarrased on the other hand for team Spain whose players have large ego problems and instead of playing well they constantly blame referees and others for their lack of success.

France beat BRAZIL Worldcup 2006 - Italy beat Germany

I was walking in the streets in Madrid today. I stuck my head in a bar for a minute looking for a TV screen to check what the score was for the FRANCE VS Brazil game..... and YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS FRANCE WAS WINNING!!!! I stayed and when the 90 minute finish wistle blew.... we all screamed and put our hands in the air!@! YEEEAAAHHHHUUUUUUUUUU ----------- Coouple of days later it was the semi finals and Italy played host Germany. For some reason I wasnt a big fan of germany. I found ballack too violent and the whole team a little dorky! Italy played great and they showed so much style and elegance. Italy's play looked like one of those beautiful games of World Cup 1970. In extra time italy striked the "post" twice! Then finally when the game was almost over, one of Italy's players ( Andrea Pirlo) gets the ball in Germanys penalty area, and instead of quickly shooting, he keeps his cool, dribles, walks around like it was a fashion show, then passes the ball ...
