We hate the fact that Spain did not make it to the Confederations Cup final. Because we hate seeing Gerard Pique slumped up against a goal post in depression. We wanted him and the rest of our Spanish lads - who make up just about half the national team - to go through and do well and be happy... lord knows they deserve it. But in the end, our players are not at fault. We blame the Spaniards from Real Madrid - it's all Sergio Ramos' doing! He's quite a joke as defender, really.Real's rightback flopped, but ours certainly didn't. Daniel Alves positively shone with Brazil last night, scoring the single goal of the match and taking his team through to the final. Congrats Dani! We're so proud of him, and we hope he and Brazil will be victorious.
In the meantime, we're off to find Geri and comfort him... and maybe stop by Xavi, Puyol and Sergi on our way too.
I think this is unfair to criticize Sergio's play as poor. He is a great defender. You could equally blame Capdevila for being outmuscled by Altidore who scored USA's first goal.
ReplyDeleteThis kind of criticism is quite typical of regional rivalries: we in Northern California, by and large, do not like Southern California sport teams as well. Human nature.
