“…si vamos unidos no nos vencerán”
…united, they will not defeat us
The quote is from the song that was written for the Spanish National Team (NT) Selection for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. It is particularly powerful because the World Cup win has bolstered some of the most ardent patriotism ever for Spain, a country perpetually divided by regional politics. The picture was taken by one of my friends who lives in Madrid. After they won, the NT rode on top of a van through the some of the major streets in Madrid. You can see Fernando Torres hoisting up the cup, and Sergio Ramos rocking a Carmen San Diego-style hat. They better still be celebrating when I get there in late September!!!!
