Spain Vs Chile Fight Between Players … what a bad end of the game :-(
This shows how: Arbeloa, Busquets and Ramos are the usual hotheads who can’t calm down for shit.Especially Arbeloa who started the whole thing when Iniesta was simply confronting the opponent (not fucking shoving him).
Pepe was awesome trying to break up the argument (and even pulling Casillas firmly away at the end though you can’t see it here); Pedro and Nando too were pretty cool, trying to calm down the Chilean players even though the Chileans shoved them around a bit.
my creys~ everyone standing up for everyone (even if it IS a pretty shitty ending)

“Hello Dani. First and foremost I want to tell you that I will miss you a lot. I reproach myself for not insisting in meeting with you or talking to you more often. I couldn’t imagine how life could be so unfair as leaving someone without a friend like you. I treasure so many moments that we lived together. Our chats during training about things that have nothing to do with football, memories of matches in the lower categories, when we played in the U-15 and U-17 together, when we won the gold medal in the European U-19, the classification with the U-21 and all the derbies that we have shared together with the first team. When I was told the sad news, I went over all of my jerseys and in them, I found at least 20 of yours. We always exchanged jerseys because it was always yours which I wanted to have every year. The home games and the return games. We have been rivals but I always have appreciated you. This is above any rivalry. I will always miss you, Dani, a lot. The next derby will be very difficult. Wherever you are, I know you are going to take care of your family and your teammates. Farewell, my friend.”

It’s hard to explain the tenderness he shows, I think that goes beyond everything. Even football. Because in the end, that’s what makes him a good friend.

“
Underneath my Spain shirt I had a t-shirt with the words ‘Andres, thats for you’ written on it. We were playing France in the final and Andres Iniesta, who’s now at Barcelona, had suffered an injury and could’t play. I scored a penalty and ran over to the bench where he was to show him the message. It was the winning goal - and it was for him.

“Five FC Barca players wanted to swap shirts w/Scholes last night, I’m not making this up, Andrés Iniesta beat them all to it.”
SEEING THAT JUST MADE THE NIGHT 100X MORE AMAZING.
What a legend.
