España, mi corazón

Quick and useless thought: there is nothing as fun when you are on vacation as seeing a team that you enjoy watching get to the final game of the World Cup. I was afraid that the Germans were going to win and that the last match of this dreadful competition would thus become unwatchable. Thus, I am happy to see Spain win today because while watching its team, one still feels that soccer, football is a game that must be fun instead of battle that has to be won. I don't know if Spain is going to win Sunday, but I hope that they try to play their football instead of playing solely strategically and trying to outsmart the Netherlands instead of just outplaying them, which should be enough to win.  In short, I believe that Spain will win Sunday if it isn't afraid of losing its first World Cup final by letting itself believe that it can't win with its football.
