Hola Madridistas y Furiosos Rojos!
Four years ago in Kaiserslautern, I attended the first ever match between Spain and Saudi Arabia. We didn't display much of a talent show, and if you would have told me after the 1:0 from Juanito's goal that we would take the Euro Cup two years later, I probably wouldn’t have trusted you very much with my money
Years have passed and so too has our “suerte” … On paper, tomorrows game should be a no-brainer, but as Madridistas we know that even against Xerex we need to put on our boxing gloves to get a 6:0 and we like to do it in style... La Roja isn't very different … The problem is that we had a string of injuries and we really don't know the extent of the damage incurred. While I don't like to be the pessimist, I don't like being let down and therefore I am a cautious optimist. Some say friendlies are just an opportunity to pick up another knock or niggle and that they are detrimental and harmful as opposed to helpful. Maybe it would be better that they carry these friendlies out in South Africa so that they get their lungs used to the air pressure difference. Among all the uncertainty, questions, fears, excitements and doubts that people may have out there, stands one thing loud and clear in my mind: No Cartesian evil demon is tricking me into thinking that I want to see firsthand where our boys are standing before they get on the plane to South Africa… and therefore I will be at 12:00 PM tomorrow afternoon at Mr. Dennehy’s in Spanish Gear to kick off the first of the friendlies Pre-WC 2010.
Here is a memory of post Euro Cup celebration ... I want to see a new video this year with a different happy cancion!
Buenas Noches y Viva España!
