    It’s 11:05am in Spain right now. I guarantee there will be people still partying right now.

    There’ll be people hungover on the sofas in their villas, some enjoying a big breakfast in the sun, and probably quite a few who are currently not turning up for work.

    It’s a good day to be Spanish.

    Reminds me of an old sports joke.

    I root for two teams. My home town team and whoever is playing against the Yankees/Patriots/Bulls.*

    *Highly successful and extremely hated for it.

    The lack of sportsmanship shown by the Argentine players has been despicable throughout the tournament. As a Spaniard, I appreciate the great support on social media, but I know we didn’t earn it; Argentina earned that support for us.

    Spain can’t give them justice any more than FIFA can for unfairly influencing those games through various means.
