Spain is already in the quarterfinals of the 2012 Euro Cup soccer. Next Saturday, June 23, we have an appointment with the French team for a place in the semifinals. And the kids of the Spanish team have done very well, have won two games and tied another. Among the players of the Spanish team I think that all children want to be Iniesta. That picture of the Barcelona player surrounded by Italians Oliver and Benji was spectacular and shows that the player is very respected and is very guarded by rival defenses. Another player who has also demonstrated the quality and danger he has is David Silva. His goal against Ireland qualified as true inner peace to be able to pick up the ball, think, look, reflect and give it a subtle touch so that it slips into the goal away from the goalkeeper's reach. Together with Arbeloa, Silva and Iniesta are part of UEFA's outstanding team until the quarterfinals begin.
And many other players are doing phenomenal. All children still want to be Boxes, although he dresses in yellow and puts his heart in a fist with his stops before shots or close shots. Defense with Piqué and Ramos as central Titans and going up to finish off pitched ball throws. Xavi, who, no matter how much he looks at him, I never see him that any player is able to take a ball away from him, his turns and changes of direction make him unstoppable for the defenders who can only run behind him and the ball. And it is that Spain has the best classification, according to UEFA and even before the quarterfinals are disputed. Thus we won in number of goals scored, we have only conceded one goal, we have finished 39 times at goal and we have taken 26 times from the corner.
And not only is the defense, ahead they are towers, the aforementioned Silva and Iniesta, Navas, Fabregas and many more. Everyone strives, they look for their partner, they are generous and they fight for the ball, for having it, for not losing it and for giving it to the partner who has the best position and route. Spain has scored goals, has run, has suffered and has qualified brilliantly and has been recognized throughout the world.
And in the Spanish streets the party is also felt. There is many flags of Spain on the balconies, also in taxis and above all the emotion is perceived in the shirts of the selection that many people wear on the street, most of them children. And, now that school is over, children will still have more time to imitate their idols on the street, at home, with family and shouting goal through all the houses in Spain.
We wish the best to the players of the Spanish National Team and we hope to continue telling you.
