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:

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

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

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

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

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

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.;)

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

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...

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

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

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

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.

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

a huge British run bar near us which has 3 massive TVs is all booked out tonight:D

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

Viva Espana ... :thumbup:

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

Sounds like you best go and stick your finger in the dyke and save them then little boy. :rofl:

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

I detest sport, especially this football nonsense. It's not the sport itself I loath it's the way that it takes over the major TV channels, everything is sacrificed for 22 sweaty, inarticulate, monosyllabic overpaid prima donna's kicking an inflated pigs bladder around a bit of grass. I shall be cheering tonight - cheering that the whole thing has come to an end and we can get back to normal - for a few weeks anyway.

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

I won't really be too bothered who wins, mainly because neither have ever won it before so it will be nice to have a "new" winner.

Also, as i am a Liverpool FC supporter, and we have players in both teams, i just hope that none of them get injured because we will need them when the Premiership begins here again on the 14th August.

** One point i would just like to add though, Spain out of every team that has taken part in this tournament, has the least amount of cards ( yellow / red ), and for their fairness in playing i hope they do well. **

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

Yes I fell a bit like that:)

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

Hey I thought CM would have something to say about this:rofl:

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

Espana:thumbup::D

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

Congratulations Spain! You really deserved it tonight!

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

I have something to say.....I think if thats how he feels, why dose he not live in the netherlands ???? Well done Spain, well played ... and PS the Spanish are really nice people.

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

I am really jealous as to what the atmosphere must be like wherever in Spain you are at the moment. It must be just fantastic!

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

I've done my cheering, my throat is sore, the dogs are terrified by the bangers, but I'm happy.

I didn't give it much thought because it was too unlikely, but if the final had been between England and Spain, I would have had a problem with my cheering.

Would I? I doubt if the problem will ever arise, we play in different leagues.

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

well jdr,nice,i just think that its is a shame the ignorant spanish won,as opposed to the polite dutch

that ofc didnt transfer to the football field,where the dirty dutch would have lost earlier if the ref had turned up

whatever tho i am english and they are the only team i would ever support and cheer for no matter where i have lived,i think it is sad that english bars display spanish flags(hoping to get a bit of trade),to me that is pathetic,as no spanish are going to go to an english bar to watch the game anyway
idiots

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

Absolutely gutted! I had a few good nights out around town while Spain were playing but last night just as the game was approaching the end of normal time........... I had to board a flight back to Blighty!!!!

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

er -not true


a British-run bar in my town which is not usually used much by the Spanish was booked to the gills last night - by Spanish people:D

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

Well yes, I think you should do everyone a favour and get out of Spain. Get as far away from it as possible and leave the country to those who love it and its people!

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

Well said Cricketman, could not have put it better myself !!:)

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

We had our Spain flag up here in England for the last 2 weeks showing our support for the country we love and hope to one day call our home (had the St George up as well until we went out the competition).

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

Amen to that too :thumbup:

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

why because i am patriotic and love my country cricketman?
you idiots that have lived here a bit or are lucky enought to have 2 homes dont realise what a bunch of bastards the spanish are,i really hate you naive twats,i see so many sad storys here yet all you ****ers do is do the pro spanish thing,get a life and get in the real world then see how spain is for most people including the effing spanish that you all seem to love

oh and btw i will move back to north devon asap as i hate the ex-pat attitude here,seen you all come and go over the years,you all think you have died and gone to heaven when you move here,why?
cos most come from scumbag cities in the uk and seeing the sea is a wow factor for you,covered in scum tho,as spain now is since you guys appeared,left and sent more over,who left etc....
90% of the idiots that come here are gone in 2 years anyway
nice paradise

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

btw,i tend to get banned from forums as i tell it like it is,was banned from a.com,and trip advisor as i said what fuengirola was like,they now give such strange advice,reccommending bars that shut down 9 months ago,/the destination expert is called kazz she goes there 2 weeks a year,she got me banned as i said what she was writing was rubbish and out of date
so now i expect a ban here as you sometimes just wanna hear the good stuff

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

Should I stick a provisional"THREAD CLOSED" on this one?

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

You should try living in Britain it's even worse there!

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

You know it is perfectly simple to "tell it like it is" without calling people fu**ers, bas***ds, twa*ts and idiots and then you'd be able to get your point across without being banned by the Mods and sniggered at by the rest.

Not the sharpest tool are you?

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

it is isn't it?

I've 'told it like it is' good & bad & will continue to do so - but I've never iirc been 'jumped on'

Re: Will you be cheering for Spain?
 

If you carry on the way you are you won't be long on this forum either. Posting your opinions is one thing, to do so only to wind people up is entirely another and it's called trolling. So please tone it down a bit.

Thanks
