Off to see the final

European Cup final, Spain vs. Italy. We’re world champs and reigning European champs, but it’s going to be tough…

    Sounds like fun. Was it hard to get tickets?

    Don’t forget to duck if you see a dart headed your way.

    Oh, and good luck to Italy. :P

    Christ! I thought it was going to be tough, was resigned to lose. But… 4-0! And the first team to ever win 3 consecutive international championships!

    Madrid is going crazy. The center of the city is closed down, and all one hears are celebrations.

    Spain needed a dose of happiness.

    “No previous team has won three major championships in succession. So the debate will grow intense about whether Spain, with its unselfish and attractive style, can rightfully be considered the greatest national team ever. ”

    The team is back from Kiev and the victory parade will go down Gran Via – where my office is. I’ll take pics from the office window.

    They’re still 1/2 hour away and the street is jammed with red and yellow-clad fans.

    Haven’t seen so many people since the anti-Iraq war demonstrations!

    I see you are NOT the guy that died after he watched it all non-stop, without sleeping.

    Probably all of Italy’s negative Karma from what they did to Amanda Knox.
