Spain 1, Germany 0

I rarely watch sports on television, but today (Sunday) I did. I just happened to turn on the set during the first half of the European Soccer Finals and realized so many of my online photographer friends would be watching, especially Paco Lopez in Madrid and Guenter Eh in Frankfort. It made me feel even more connected to my buddies around the world so I stayed with it. Well, even for a non-fan this game was amazing!!! What incredible athletes! And I must say, after young Fernando Torres got Spain's goal, I found myself pulling for them to win. After all, Spain hadn't won the finals since 1964. It was definitely their turn. And they did it! When the cameras went to Madrid after the game ended it was like the whole city was going crazy! And I'm sure my buddy Paco was adding to the celebration!!! CONGRATULATIONS to all my friends in Spain! And condolences to Guenter and my buddies in Germany.

Patricia - thank you very much for taking part of the exciting things happened here in europe! The spanish team is definitely the best in europe! I`m not sad about the german team because it was a great "soccer fiesta" at all! And as you said - after 44 years - the win of the cup for spain is more than deserved!***

Patricia, we have watched EVERY game of that championship ! With a Husband and 3 Sons, football (soccer) is a huge thing in our house. We all support different English teams too, so when the season starts in August, we all root for our various sides, its all great fun !
Glad you enjoyed it.

Great for Paco but not so great for Guenter. Wonderful tribute. I'm not a sports fan either but soccer can be fun to watch! I'm sure your friends appreciate this.
