Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

As the title of the thread asks, will your hearts be for Spain in tomorrow's final? What is the situation in places like Catalonia or the Basque Country? Do they also cheer for Spain?

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

No

Just to wind the neighbours up :thumbsup:

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

No the boring bastards

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

Yes, definitely. I think they deserve it. They've had a solid team for years and yet never even reached a semi-final, let alone final.

:thumbsup:

They are better than the 11 goalkeepers playing tonight. :rofl:

Are you expecting a sleepless night between Sunday-Monday where you live if Spain wins tomorrow?

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

Yes! But must admit that's because I'll be out celebrating too.

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

absolutely - & it won't just be Sunday-Monday

Overt patriotisim is usually so frowned on in Spain, after almost 40 years of Francos forced nationalisim, it is a bit odd to see all those Spanish flags everywhere in pictures/video of Spain or South Africa- though Mrs IP assures me that tomorrow ALL of Spain will celebrate- Basques, Catalans, Gallegos...every damn one.;)

Agree but I think where we are (Cadiz province) times are changing. Friends of ours explained that it is really only recently (say in the last five years) that they would consider buying clothes with a Spanish flag logo or displaying the Spanish flag (and also I hadn't realised how some people view the Spanish flag when it has a bull on it.) But now thanks to their success in the World Cup, they are proudly displaying the flag. Tomorrow should be a great final and I'm looking forward to the celebrations...

I got the impression that the Urugauy keeper forgot to turn up,(unless his name was Robert Green), other wise they would have won.

i just noticed that at the start of the world cup here in fuenguirola,no flags etc,as spain have progressed the flags have slowly come out
personally i hope they get stuffed by the dutch who are a much nicer bunch of people

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

Not my experience & that is one reason I live here in Spain. (assuming you are not on a wind up?)

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

Where I live, it started off with mostly Spanish and English flags, when the English flags disappeared there were more Spanish ones but also the odd German ones.

Now it's all Spanish, every British bar is decked out with them and every car seems to be flying one, even the ones with the yellow number plates.

I'll be cheering Spain.
