PAINT IT RED

When you are very close to a dream, you do not want to open your eyes. What if the dream disappears and does not come back again?

That's exactly how Spain's dream run has been. I don't want to move from the couch at home. What if Germany scores? What if the referee loses it and gives one of the Spanish players a red card? No way I can't move!

If you are going to tell me "Oh! you like Spain because of all the good looking men?" I won't tell you anything but I will surely smack a Puyol like header into your face!

You probably belong to that category of men who think watching and playing football is their birth right. Reality check dude: It's the game and it's called a Beautiful Game. Keep your dumb machoism out of it.

At times I have to pinch myself. Spain is in the final. Spain is in the finals? OH MY GOD! SPAIN IS IN THE FINALS!

Yes they are in the finals and will surely win if they continue to play the way they have so far. If this is the reaction of someone who has never been to Nepal, forget Spain, or spoken a word of Spanish, imagine what must be happening to the those who live in that country.

Euphoria. That's what you feel when you get to something you have been denied for decades. And they have all the right to feel this way.

For years Spain has been that team which should have made it to the finals and won. They are the only team which became world no. 1 without reaching a single World cup final, forget about winning the World Cup.

But now they have finally come to the finals and God willing or should I say Paul willing they will lift the most precious piece of gold by the end of this week.




I don't know about their opponents but the Spanish game mesmerises me. The passes are so well synchronised, its almost like a very well choreographed dance. Perhaps the opponents get dazzled too. How can you disrupt it? Its so beautiful. Just keep watching them move the ball around so deftly so artistically. Its a pleasure.

No one deserves the Cup more than this inspired lot of players. Like their coach Vicente Del Bosque says every player in this team is a Lionel Messi who performs and of course there is David Villa. His gesture to the spectators after he scored Spain's first goal against Honduras said it all.

Loss to Switzerland was in some other era. For now this is just the beginning. The closing will be grand and red. I am waiting to savour some Spanish Orang(j)e juice.
