In our search for a World Cup Finals viewing location, I ran into this lady. She was saying A LOT and kindly allowed me to take a picture. Pro-Spain, Pro-Panama, anti-Ley Chorizo, respect for el pulpo paul. Is that a Netherlands flag in her hand?
We settled on the Rockin Gorilla because the Spanish bar was full and the Colombian place said we needed a reservation (hmmmm). The bar had a nice mix of Holland and Spain supporters. I thought I was indifferent, but early on my reactions showed I was for la furia roja!!
... finally in overtime, SPAIN SCORED!!
Via Argentina went crazy!! The rain did not stop the party. My friend and I went to the hang out outside of the Spanish bar because I wanted a picture with the huge jersey they had in the lane divider.
Here I am, signing a piece of history! (ignore my orange bag lol. it is my favorite purse.)
Viva Espana!!! Viva la Furia Roja!!
World Cup Champions!!!!
Looks like a lot of fun!!! I love how Panamanians kept jumping on a new bandwagon as other teams lost. Though, I must say that many people there are fans of the Barcelona team and there were several Barcelona players on the Spanish national team.
ReplyDeletehmmm... it wouldn't say it was bandwagon jumping. The team selection wasn't random and it was more like as primary teams lost, people supported others that they have always liked. You are right that a lot of people like Barcelona, whose best player is Messi (Argentina) plus a lot of Spanish players. Brazil and Argentina have been strong Latin American teams for decades, so not surprising that people like them and then Spain for la Liga. :)
