Even better that I watched it in an FC Barcelona-themed bar, so very raucous Spain fans. I’m not a fan of either team but certainly a fan of many of the players. That Ronaldo free kick at the end was pure class. I had just explained to my friends that aren’t big soccer fans how difficult that kick would be, since it was so close. And just perfect. Even all the Spain fans had to bow to that. De Gea looked like shit. I explained to the same friends that he’s probably the best goalie in the world. The guy to my right at the bar was a goalkeeping coach from England, and he had just nodded his head agreeing with me when De Gea made that gaffe. We all had quite a laugh before the angry looks from the others.
Watched at home over breakfast. Just before that kick the wife asked ‘who’s that guy?’
I said ‘maybe the greatest player in the world.’
’ What’s he going to do? Kick it through those ten guys?’
‘I dunno, maybe.’
‘Ohh he is pretty good isn’t he?’
‘Yes dear’
