In the first attempt to start this review I was posted to watch the selection up the stairs that led to the stage and from there to heaven. I paused in contemplation of that time willing to record every detail in my memory as stored food in the pantry for when hunger. The image is unforgettable. The team is gathered around their captain and improvised Blatter protocol to reach Casillas, who has been perched on a ledge. And then the eternal picture: World Cup top, toward the stars of Africa.
The next attempt to start with the story I find Casillas and Sara Carbonero. She asks for the thrill of the moment and noticing his tears talking about the game offers. Iker, then kisses her. It's a long kiss, pirate, world champion. My reaction is as unconscious as the previous ones and those that will from now: I start to applaud.
aware that I will not live up to the circumstances (need a rocket) I decide to enjoy the moment. And to tell the joy I dive into it. The first surprise is that along with the excitement lacrimosa perceive a relaxed happiness, adult, such as mission accomplished. It is proof that several generations felt the World Cup as an unresolved, like a job to accomplish. It is done.
cherries. Neither immediate nor fully prevent the analysis, only difficult. The first feeling is that we have seen a happy ending that intersects with other happy endings. Many sour for many good stories. The de Iniesta, for example. The most special player of his generation, the most ingenious, introverted, scored the goal that you reserve a page in history. Portray him blushing because I suspect so will the rest of his life.
His role was anything but casual. From a given minute that marks the border of the excitement with the dying, Iniesta claimed the role of rescuer. Since then the boy who asked downplays all the balls that burned and decided to attack with them to the Dutch defense. And if I say that this attempt was played body and soul is because his ankles were compromised not infrequently.
The summary is that the fracture that led to the extension the chances of Spain went through the feet of Iniesta, Cesc faithfully supported by newly entered, and assisted by Xavi forever. If players as they strive to win a game is almost impossible to lose.
Left for posterity in that historic goal also starred Fernando Torres, the hero of Vienna. It was he who started the play with a pass into the area and although it was his only memorable contribution was decisive and I'm sure that redeems him from a tournament gray and an injury that was around forever and ended up folding. The rest I've seen hundreds of times and we will see thousands, millions. Cesc shifted in front and went to Iniesta, who controlled and fired with a pinch of half-volley. The connection is broken then a roar of screams and hugs.
But aside from individual stories is a general history yesterday won its completion. It is the story of the game in Spain, awarded the European title and now the World Cup. We are faced with the confirmation of a style that magnifies the sport permanently threatened by speculators and locksmiths. Spain has shown that playing well is the shortest way to win. Our selection has claimed an aesthetic thing seemed old and inefficient.
That lesson will be Holland's first-hand. His betrayal of the ancestors was sensational and deserved exemplary punishment, but arrived too late. Unable to stand up to open football, Holland insisted on a task of harassment and improper demolition of a shirt like yours. Only the referee's permission made it possible for the regulation time ended with the eleven players on the field. The expulsion of Heitinga, and in overtime was the result a natural approach was to handcuff priority to Spain rather than promote the strengths of the Dutch game.
The museum of horrors might have to save the kick from De Jong to Xabi Alonso, who, with his rival blocks recorded on the chest, no longer need to tattoo another thing to remember the final. Van Bommel, as usual, was more subtle attacks, but signs of his kicks drawn, for sure, a nice map of South Africa.
Del Bosque. A Vicente Del Bosque also corresponds to one of those happy stories. Its secondary role, promoted by him, is untenable after a tournament that has risen to the status of spiritual father, as though it was he who invented this game, it was he who developed and enriched with personal contributions have not always been well understood.
again yesterday to bet on Peter, the man unhinged Germany, and when it ran out this effect, Del Bosque had the courage to recover Navas, unprecedented since the first matches. His mission was to strike down the wing by Gio, with a card and 34 years seemed in a position of weakness at the speed of Sevilla. In the end, both played their part. Navas got good ball from the right and Gio, in his last match for orange, he saved the guy even had to be replaced completely exhausted.
defensive Only the application of the Netherlands, accompanied by excessive hardness, as was said, was what caught us in many stages of the match. Suffer by finding capped at Xabi and Busquets. We also stifle enough when the Dutch turned on counterattacks led by Schneijder and finished in Robben. In one, the end is planted alone in front of Casillas and only the skill of the goalkeeper, which was launched at the foot of the attacker, prevented the first goal. Iker was again on the decisive day miracle.
Invictus. South Africa's history is linked to the sport through the rugby and the fact is recounted in the novel The Human Factor, by John Carlin, filmed under the title of Invictus. There is also something novel in the history of English success in South African World Cup and, perhaps, in its influence on the politics of a country that has always found it easier to address the differences that the common points. Football, rugby and then made to show us another way, another good reason to share and celebrate in harmony. Guilt, blame blessed is the English national team soccer world champion.
Well, the first thing I mean to apologize for the long inactivity of the Blog. I assure you that they were just simply professional and passionate affairs.
