With Spain set to take on the Netherlands this Sunday for the World Cup title, football madness has reached fever pitch here in Sevilla. This past Thursday Daphne, Lisa and I watched the game in our favorite sports watching spot, Flagerty's. The place was overflowing with fans of Equipo Espania dressed in all forms of regalia- flag capes, body paint and bull horns. As soon as Spain registered its victory over Germany people took to the streets in droves. Teenagers clustered in plazas snapping photos and chanting "Espania!" until the wee hours of the morning. Drivers honked their car horns while waving flags out passers by. It was a parade of athletic nationalism.
The fervor has subsided a bit since yesterday, but it is sure to return one hundred fold on Sunday. I am excited but a little afraid to see what Seveillans will do if Equipo Espano wins.
Spain won! So how were the celebrations? Still ongoing? :)
