Spain Campeones T Shirt by Adidas

Posted by Michael on July 28, 2010

Hello blog!

I am good. Today it has been a really busy day. I am planning on new things for my company, and i have been working on that…When i have more details i will write about it ;) I am really in “business mode” and have been for the past few days, i am really getting back into business and have loads of ideas flowing :)

Today i got a package, woohoo!! Its the Spain Campeones 2010 T Shirt. This is made by Adidas, and is the exact shirt that the players were wearing when they went on the parade after the final of the world cup, meeting the royal family etc.

The t shirt has the badge with the star above it, showing 1 world cup win :P

Looks good i think :)

Una Estrella – yeeeeeeeeeeeeeahhhh!!! :mrgreen:

Time For A New Watch: Spanish Style!

Posted by Michael on July 23, 2010

Hello blog readers :)

I thought it might be time for a new watch…I saw this and had to get it! :P

Its made by ICE WATCH and is a Spain Ice Watch. I think it looks really cool. I think that the neon colour and bright colour watches are back in this summer, they were a few years ago, i thought they looked really cheap then, but now i think they have made a bigger comeback than before. I will write more about the broader subject later.

Anyway i got this watch a few days ago, it is nice, the strap is silicone so you dont need to get it adjusted. I picked this up on Amazon for £65. They do them in different countries e.g. Italy, France, Brasil and England.

I am using the box as a money box for all my loose crappy change i get. It works well ;)

Its funny i got this, because when it came i checked my D&G watch and it had stopped!! What a weird coincidence?! I just been to get a new battery for it and it to be put in, the price for that…….£12!! What a disgrace, about 5 minutes works and a battery later and it was £12! Oh well, it needed to be done, i love my D&G watch too much :) Other places like H.Samuels said they could do it but couldnt guarantee it if they broke it, thats no good to me, so paying a bit more was worth it.

The flags come down…Depression

Hello lovely blog readers! :)

Today i took down my Spain flags from my window, its a sad, sad day :( The world cup is now officially over, and it will not come around again for another 4 years. My window now looks weird with nothing up, its like at Christmas when you take the decorations down :P

Such a sad day :(

Spain World Cup T Shirt: Campeones!

Posted by Michael on July 13, 2010

España = CAMPEONES!!!!!!

Posted by Michael on July 13, 2010

CAMPEONES, CAMPEONES, olé olé olé!

Yes!! Spain did it and won the World Cup for the very first time on Sunday night!! I am sure you are aware, of all of this now, it is Tuesday, so it was a few days ago. They beat Netherlands 1-0 after extra time, with a Andrés Iniesta goal :)

What a great night it was on Sunday, it was such a good party night, i had my drinks, champagne, vodka, redbull, food, air horns, flags, shirt, and blasting music after the final :mrgreen:

I did not really go to bed, i watched Madrid TV and fell asleep for a few hours, and then it was morning already! My mouth tasted of champagne until Monday night!

I was so tired on Monday! But it didnt matter, I watched Madrid TV again and saw the parties and everything all over again, i wish i was in Madrid, but watching it on TV was 2nd best, it made me feel like i was there :)

Monday night it was another night of celebration, watching Madrid TV, seeing the players meet the royal family of Spain, the king and queen, prince and princesses, it was really good. The king also made a speach, which was so cool!! Then the team went to meet the prime minister of Spain, which was also cool, and funny, they started jumping up and down and he joined in!! :mrgreen: All the crowd were amazing, chanting INIESTA, INIESTA!! and IKER, IKER!! :mrgreen:

Then the players had a bus tour all over the city, it was crazy! :D Pepe Reina was going mental, and so was Piqué, it was so good, i do wish i was there! There were so many people, estimated to be 1 million people come out to support La Roja yesterday! It ended at puente del rey, where they took the stage. Fans had already been there for hours, and there was entertainment on, but the real reason people came was to see the players, and they werent disapointed :)

They took the stage, and it was great! Just like in 2008 Pepe Reina was the legendary MC, calling each player, and it was so good! He got to number 10, Fabregas, got him to the front of the stage, where he held him with Piqué and Puyol and they put a Barca shirt over him, he didnt know about that, haha!! :mrgreen: He looked good in a Barca shirt ;) I bet the Arsenal fans didnt like that :P

It was such a great night, i still have a bad head, oh well, its all good :)

YouTube Preview Image

It was such an emotional few days, you have probably seen clips on YouTube of Iker Casillas kissing his girlfriend who works for TV channel TeleCinco Sara Carbonero. Also Pepe Reina singing and dancing to them on the plane home!!

I LOVE SPAIN, VIVA ESPAÑA!!!!!

Spain 1 – 0 Portugal

Posted by Michael on June 29, 2010

Attention Everyone….If you look up at the sky and see a star it is not a star. Its the beaming smile i have on my face :mrgreen:

Spain beat Portugal 1-0 to book their place into the Quater Final against Paraguay. The game is another evening kickoff, and will be on Saturday on BBC if you are in the UK.

Tonights game was great. It was hard for Spain to play, Portugal were yet another team who play 10-men behind the ball against Spain, or any other good team. They never tried to attack, and when they did it was too late. Spain dominated possesion, had a few good shots at goal, created more and deserved to win. Portugal had the odd half chance on the break which is all they could manage. Cristiano Ronaldo bearly got a kick of the ball.

I said i would go to Madrid if Spain got to the Semi Final..Well they might! I dont know if i can even go, you cant fly to Madrid from Newcastle so i would have to fly from somewhere else, which makes things more complicated, not ideal when doing something last minute.

Spain vs Portugal: Big game tonight!

Posted by Michael on June 29, 2010

It is the big one tonight! Spain vs Portugal!! :) I am nervous and excited for the game, it brings back memories of 2004 where we lost 1-0 to Portugal.

I am nervous because Spain have only played well at times, the first 2 games they played well but lost the first, the last one they played average but won, the defence looks a bit shaky. There are other questions such as is Torres fit? He doesnt look it so should he play? Xabi Alonso also picked up a knock as did Albiol, I dont think Sergio Busquets is good enough either, hes made some mistakes.

All questions will be answered at 19.30 when the game kicks off :)

Spain vs Portugal on Tuesday Night

Posted by Michael on June 26, 2010

Hello lovely blog readers!! :)

I woke up today happy, last night Spain won their vital game against Chile 2-1, and got through to the last 16, where they will face neighbours Portugal. They didnt play particuarly well, but a win is a win, and hopefully will play better in the next game.

Its a grudge match, the last time they played in competition it was Euro 2004 in Portugal, where Portugal beat a poor Spain 1-0.

Tonight there is the crap games of the round, Uruguay vs South Korea @ 3PM, and tonight USA vs Ghana @ 7.30PM.

Spain 0 – 1 Swiss: What the HELL happened?!

Posted by Michael on June 16, 2010

I cant believe it! Spain lose their opening game of the world cup! This really is a disaster! That means, if my maths is correct, they could actually go out even if they win their last 2 games! Chile won today, which means they can beat Switzerland, and then if Switzerland beat Honduras they will both have 6 points. Spain can only get a maximum 6 points. We need goals!!!

It was a good game, apart from the finishing. Spain just couldnt break down the Swiss defence, could not get a clear chance; the Swiss got one and bundled the ball into the net. Spain probably should of had a penalty with a foul on David Silva; Iniesta also got fouled by the last man and won a free kick and their player should of been sent off and wasnt.

Sergio Busquets didnt play well, he was probably the worst of the lot. But all the players who matter didnt look 100%, Iniesta and Xavi have had injury problems, Torres came on but didnt make an impact, and when he did David Villa didnt seem to touch the ball for about 15 minutes!

Spain need to improve, they didnt look the team that started in Euro 2008, despite having most of the same players, the same players who hammered Poland 6-0 the other week.

Spain’s World Cup Begins Tomorrow

Posted by Michael on June 15, 2010

Which Spain Shirt should i wear tomorrow?

Tomorrow is the day, the first day of the World Cup :P It all kicks off at 3pm, Spain’s first game against Switzerland. I really hope they play well, they need to bring something to the world cup. All other teams apart from Germany have been pretty poor.

I also hope they do well because i have been bigging them up for ages, Lets hope they make easy work of the group, most the other teams have not.
