I support Real Madrid because of Raul and for the exact same reason I support Spain. Actually my support for Spain could have something to do is when I was small (six years old) I used to have an old 2D Dos footie game, where you could choose between four teams to win the World Cup. And there used to be levels or stages, with the final stage being against Brazil. I reached the final stage on a number of occasions but never managed to beat the Brazilians as their players were always quicker. The first (I dont remember if it was the only time) I actually did win that game was with Spain. Since then I had an affection for the La Furia Roja. Stupid and Kiddish reason maybe but thats how it could have started.
I cried in 1996, age 10, when England beat Spain on penalties. 1998 I cried when Zuby scored the own goal. 2000 I cried when Raul missed the penalty and France went through. 2002 was the worst when we were robbed. 2004 was a disappointment. We blew it big time. 2006 was heartbreak again, and 2008 has wonderful. First Real defend the La Liga title in style, and then Spain do it in the Euros!! Brilliant.
I might not be from Spain and cant even speak fluent Spanish, but when it comes to football, I am as passionate as any other Spaniard. |
