Javi

Javi is my brother in law, the Spaniard. I had a little email conversation with him today over my great offer to trade him my Swedish jersey for for his Spanish. I'll never hold this against him, I wouldn't accept a Swedish after yesterdays fiasco so I most humbly thank him for his offer to buy me a Spanish and/or Catalonia when I see him July 30th in Barcelona.

He is also a little negative about the outcome of Sundays game, apparently Spain has never won a quarter final ever, or at least not in a long time.

Well Javi, that's because Spain never had a true Viking and two 1/2 Vikings cheering out from the West. That'll make a huge difference.

Tell you what. Spain wins the Euro Cup, I will do hula hoops down La Ramblas dressed in Spanish or Catalonia jersey, your pick, screaming out of the top of my lungs Espana, Spanien, Espana,Spanien......

As long as you document it with your camera.
