What fun! I spent the evening in a sports bar with 2 girls from China watching the game. It was loud, messy and lots of fun. Their English is not fantastic so of course we had to speak Spanish. Mostly we could understand each other.
The patrons of the bar were mostly 20 somethings and of course extremely passionate about football. Every time Holland missed a goal opportunity they cheered and if the Spanish missed, a great roar went up. The owners of the bar had hooters and all during the game they would blow them and we would all sing - especially "Yo soy español, español español" over and over again
When Spain scored THE goal, one of the guys was hit in the eye with someone’s elbow and he had an immediate lump. In the streets everyone was crying, laughing, singing and it appeared that they were all on the phone. I should imagine the telephone companies would have made a fortune tonight.
