Spaniards revel in street after win over France
SPAIN: Wrapped in yellow and red flags, Spaniards danced and
piggy-backed in joy in the streets Saturday in deafening celebrations
after watching their team beat France 2-0 in the Euro quarter-finals.
Thousands watching the match on giant screens in front of Real
Madrid's Bernabeu stadium burst into deafening yells and cries of "Viva
Espana" after Xabi Alonso scored Spain's second goal, minutes from the
end.
"It was a spectacular match. We are in the semi-finals and we have
beaten France, our great rivals," said one fan, Ricardo, 20, dressed in
a hat and shirt in the red and yellow national colours.
