After the game, ciities around Spain erupted at the sound of the last whistle when Spain offiically became “world and European champions.”
“It’s just amazing, I almost don’t believe it,” said a beaming Feliciano Hernandez, a 25-year-old electrician. “I’m so proud, totally happy and living for the moment and not thinking about anything else right now.”
Congratulations, Spain. Its a well-deserved win.
