Spain, in need of Savoiurs

Lots of news enveloping the European nation of Spain today. CNN.com reported that the 100 billion Euro bailout of Spain's financial institution. This monetary aid could not have come at a better time, as this move could be the one that saves the Euro from diminishing from existence. The Euro, which has been in trouble since a few months ago, no thanks to the economic plunge which hit the European nations, could be in even more danger with the Greece elections just a week away, which could spell out the country's exit from the eurozone.

As we speak, Rolland Garros is currently a very heated up arena, now with Serbia's Novak Djokovic and Spain's Raphael Nadal currently at each other to win the French Open title. The world tennis numbers 1 and 2 respectively are going at it with all they have, with Nadal currently in the lead. If Nadal wins, it would be his 7th win on the clay court. Though Djokovic is not to be taken as a light competitor, Nadal is always somewhat extra motivated when playing the French Open. Well, if Nadal clinches the title, it's a much needed win for Spain, so despite my deep belief and support in Djokovic...I have to say Vamos, Nadal!

In about two hours, Spain will meet Italy to face off in the Euro Cup 2012. With Spain's super striker David Villa out of the picture, the fans are left wondering if Fernando Torres can carry the former champions to another win. It is always exciting to see players from arguably two of the best teams in the world - Barcelona and Real Madrid - work together to bring fame to their nation. With Iker Casillas as the goalkeeper, it's good luck all the way for Italy. Barcelona's own, Gerard Pique, Xavi Hernandez, Cesc Fabregas and Real Madrid's Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa will have to work together to provide Spain that much needed win - more as a motivation for the country than anything else.

Well, looks like it is an important day for Spain and Spaniards alike.

With all that negative financial news, one can use with a win or two.

Vamos Spain!
