Default SPORTING ESPANA!

Well done Spain this week!
Credit where credit is due.
Jimenez won the French open golf, Nadal Wimbledon now Espana in the World Cup Final and who knows perhaps Alonzo at Silverstone. They have every reason to be proud of of their nations sportsmen.
Secretly tho I am supporting Button at Silverstone.

...and Jorge Lorenzo the Moto GP!

This is the finest ever Spanish sporting generation. Football, tennis, motorsport, basketball, not the best at golf but better than some. Happy days!

Watch this space for golf! I think Spain could have a good representation in the Ryder Cup.

I am supporting The Netherlands. They played a much better quarter final that Spain.

I think that's a provocation or just to llevar la contraria. I don't know why bother living in a country if you can't be bothered to learn the language or feel slightly interested in said country winning the world cup. But anyway, maybe that's just me.

Excuse me! I was only admiring this mans effort to find a waving flag so quickly. Could you have done it?
I was the one who raised this thread in the first place to Spains outatanding sporting achievements in the last week. You have missed the point!!

Sorry what are you are on about??? We both speak the language...and some others. Also this is an open forum where any one can express an opinion and where you should not attack by another poster for those views.


PS my wife is Dutch and I have also live in the Netherlands.
Watch this!

Olivia, I wasn't talking about you, obviously.

Edit: okay then, if your wife is Dutch it makes a lot of sense. I didn't know that. But supporting random teams over Spain and putting flags here...

Like I said this is a free forum but please read the rules (especially rule 1) before you openly attack me.
