A great week to be Spanish in the UK… when they don’t spoil it for us

immigrants from time to time We have joys And moments of breastfeeding in our new countries.

If sport is usually the main cause of joy, it will be equally important that we suddenly learn to show our chests to many creative people. The Spaniards who also win In many areas away from balls and rackets.

We know all the sports stars, most of them male for obvious and completely unfair reasons, the names of Olmo, Lamine, Nico, Rodri or Merino have been mentioned a lot and deservedly these days but perhaps we should start getting to know other stars who have had more or less great influence in industries such as cinema, television, music, literature, plastic arts… In the world of comics that many do not know, we have great artists such as Ana Miralles, Paco Roca, Raúl Allen, Julia Madrigal, Jordi LaFeber, Álvaro Ortiz, David Aja, Ferran Delgado, Juanjo Guarnido, Juan Díaz Canales, Patricia Martín who also “They won the finals.” With all the work they publish and their international influence meaning I can find their work translated into English in my comic shop in Leeds.

Let’s go back to this week and how with one little ball you can make millions of people happy and make our week easier…

If England had won last Sunday, he would have been better off missing work this week than enduring his arrogance, which forced him to turn silent and not care about talking about football after Mikel Oyarzabal’s goal.

Last weekend and in another chapter of “Selling the bear’s skin before hunting it” English version There was talk of a possible ‘bank holiday’ or extra day to celebrate their possible win… As Sunday approached, just as it seemed to the Spanish sports commentators that they were exaggerating the capabilities and strength of the English team, to their English teammates, the opposite seemed to be happening to them and as the match time approached, they dwarfed our team more and more.

There is only one Gary Lineker, and his continued respect for our team is not common in the rest of the English media, an attitude largely facilitated by the fact that many of the immigrants this country welcomes cannot share any sense of belonging or interest in their sporting successes.

Alcaraz’s sporting victory at Wimbledon, repeating his success from 2023, gave us some peace of mind and started what could be a spectacular afternoon with a red win.

The current team without big names, with young players and without making much noise, makes itself popular without much effort and fortunately we do not have in the team those former leaders with whom we did not win anything and who had to play on their own. Decree and cover the fees imposed by some teams.

England has some of these “divas”. In the current squad and we saw that in the situations of some of those “Golden Balls” that seem to have already been awarded in March.

It was won fairly in the countryside, and gave those of us who lived in England immense joy and magical power to silence many a mouth in our neighbourhoods or workplaces.

This week we can Decide if we want to talk about football. Or not and everything seemed perfect… But we cannot ask footballers, or at least not all of them, to also know how to behave and not get out of control.

It seems that many athletes in our country have a great interest in losing what they gain off the field through embarrassing statements that show the lack of training in many.

We all know who has spoken, for example, about positions like that of Rubiales, or those who have put themselves in a position by whitewashing salary differences, or those who, while some governments are applauded and smiled at, others are vilified.

The attitude at the reception at the Moncloa Palace for one of those “Golden Balls” already awarded and who likes to take pictures with the leaders of the far right says a lot about what he represents from his position as captain of the national team.

The same guy who said footballers shouldn’t talk about politics after hearing his new teammate Mbappé stand against the far-right coming to power in France, made it clear to us that he will never be able to represent a country and only wants to represent a faction of nostalgia and in-laws.

This shameful internal image was made worse externally shortly after in the Plaza de la Cibeles with childish and ridiculous songs that, although they could be sung by 13-year-old children or 46-year-old men, should never have filled television screens and reached the world’s media.

I have never heard songs about Ceuta and Melilla from Morocco after the World Cup, and in nearly fifty years of my life I have never seen them at any other event with a similar impact to Friday’s celebrations.

There are many armchair historians, the same ones who talked to us about vaccines in 2020 or the global economy with their IKEA Republic Masters in Economics and Political Science, who tell us these days that Gibraltar is not Ceuta and that Toro de Vega is not suffering.

…and how good it would have been to celebrate a football match and not the rise of populism?

…and how nice it would have been if there weren’t Cayetanos singing that Lamine Yamal eats pork, and trying to impose that if you are Spanish you can’t be Muslim?

Spain is not perfect and will not be until there is respect for those who are different and we do not become Neanderthals who can only celebrate at the expense of offending the rest of the world… or maybe when we win we continue to celebrate like backward and ignorant hooligans led and motivated by mediocre and stupid people outside the football pitch.
