Spain 4 Italy 0 Doesn't it make you proud to be Spanish! In fairness, we have been residents of Spain for the past 5 years, so I think we're allowed to adopt their National Football team now! It's most definately a lot more fun than following England!!
On the night of the final, a group of 14 of us, including our special friend June, met up in the centre of Ronda to watch the match on a wide-screen television in one of the many bars/restaurants! June, was our old neighbour from the UK, who was staying with us for the week.
The atmosphere in Ronda was electric! The Spanish certainly know how to enjoy themselves and celebrate special occasions, such as this.
Within minutes of the final whistle, there was a cavalcade of cars, sporting the Spanish flag and horns blaring, circling the town centre and whilst clearly a fair amount of alcohol had been consumed, there was no trouble, but there never is. The local police play there part in this; you can feel their presence, but they are always in the background and are very low key!
Viva Espana!!
