Hello ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Friends:
I'm Miguel from Valencia Spain, of course I'm supportes of Spain National Team " LA ROJA", this is the nickname that the supportes aloud when the Spain is playing. All the supportes wears t-shirts, scarves, and wigs of red colour. Red is passion, Red is force and Red is Spanish fury. We can, everybody with "LA ROJA".
The Spain National Team is current champion of Europe Cup, and is one of the favourite team for win the South Africa World Cup. Spain have a lot of good players, like Torres and Villa, two of the best forwards of the world, or Xavi and Iniesta, they are the brain of Spain.
When Spain is playing a match, all the streets are empty, Where are the people?. The people are in fornt TV watching the match, all the Spanish Bar are full the supportes to cheer their team "LA ROJA". In Valencia we prepare a match party in town square, and we cook a giant paella for to invite the supportes, and they can watch the match while they are eating paella.
South Africa is the fisrt African country to organize a World Cup. Every match is a big party for South Africans, the stadium are full the colours, songs and music. Do you know which is the sound of the World Cup?. It is " LA BUBUCELA", it is a big plastic trumpet that it sounds like a fly.
I hope that Spain win the World Cup, because will be the first time.

- I´m Távora from Brazil and it was a big surprise to me reach this blog and to be the first Brazilian to write something about football. I´m not mad about football but of course when the World Cup comes to fore it´s normal to be a supporter. It is difficult to Brazilian people in that time don´t participate, don´t suffer and in the same time to desire to be an winner. Forgive me people but Brazil is called the country of football despite that sport have been born in England. Everywhere in Brazil people likes football. Everywhere in Brazil a child is playing football. I remember 1970 year when Mexico hosted the World Cup. I was 10 year old and it was my first cup. Brazilain Team win the championship and become three time winner. It was a great emotion to me.
- The profile of the World Cup teams are very similar. There is no a large difference among teams. The technical level is the same to the all the teams. Perhaps the champion would be a great surprise to many people.
Let´s support our teams!!

My national team aren't qualified to this world cup, I 'am enjoying watching it though, I'am supporting German National team, I like the way they play and their dynamisme even if they lost the game against Serbia, but the most important is to be qualified and win the world cup. In fact, the whole thing which I like most in my favourite team is their mentality of success and of determination : I start believe that the way of playing and organisation of national teams may reflect the attitude of the whole country where they come from!!!! Finally, I'm enjoying the african world cup even if it comes at the same time of exams and assessement of the last of year...Manchaft haven't said their last word yet! wait for it and you will see :p
let's enjoy the world best game ;)

Is the first time I write here. I would like to go ahead in Advanced English so if there is a place in this website for that, let me know. After Spain won the World Cup, now pressure is very hard over us. Two championships in a row. I read comments of Tavora... here and now we start to fear that being in a final is the minimum. I was for one hour in june in Tabatinga (near Colombia border) and there were big expectations around national team. One big shop sign said "Vamos a por la hexa". Because of World Cup only take place each 4 years and is frustrating if players or trainers act bad, they have to decide if Brazil has to bet for quality or solidity. It is not so clear which is the best model for them

Congratulations to "LA ROJA"! Viva España! Campeona del mundo! I was in Valencia, when there was the match between Spain and Germany! And it was the first time in my life, when I support any football team! I was impressed with the atmosphere in the bar, where my friends and I watched the game! It was great new experience! And I was endlessly glad for "LA ROJA" with theirs goal!!! As well as all Espanoles!!!
And the last match I was watching at home in Bulgaria! It was unexpected for my husband, when I appeared in the living room with red t-shirt and Spanish scarf! And you know what, he supported Holland!
It's good that we are tolerant to each other! There were no fights at the end! But I was very very excited about the winning of Spanish team!
Congratulations again and again! Spain is the best!
Best wishes,
Jan
