Spain wins Euro 2008

I was in Seville when the final of the Euro 2008 was being played. I couldn't find a bar that I could get into - as I left it to the last minute to look and by then they were all packed. It didn't help that the game was on a Sunday night, when many bars were closed anyway.

Spain beat Germany 1 - 0. The People of Seville were very happy and the bars emptied as soon as the game was over and people danced and sang in the street. I met some people who let me celebrate with them. I now have them on my facebook page!

Meanwhile in Madrid, a huge crowd saw the game at Plaza Colon. This was the first time in 44 years that Spain had won a major football competition.


My new friends from Sevilla: Daphne and Caroline and Glauber.
