Yesterday, from our Barcelona Hostel's common room, we lived a tough match between Spain and the Netherlands in the final of the Football World Cup. 90 minutes of play, scoring chances, goalies miraculous interventions, too many kicks, not much football ... and extra time! Finally, after 116 minutes of play, a great goal by Iniesta made the Spanish team the 2010 World Champion, for the first time in spanish history!
With a great team made of faith and good quality game, the Spanish team was able to confront the Netherlands, a team that played a very hard game yesterday. In the common room of our Barcelona Hostel we lived an exciting game, a great 2010 World Cup final game. At our Barcelona Hostel we think that the Spanish team's victory may well be the definitive reason that will make you come: work, quality, modern game, new trends, elegance ... all that was the Spanish team against its contender ... all that is our Barcelona Hostel.
But not everything ends up with the Spanish football team: Rafa Nadal has already won the Roland Garros and Wimbledon Tournaments this year, will he win the U.S. Open? At our Barcelona Hostel we don't miss out none of the matches he plays, come in late August and share it with us. At our Barcelona Hostel we also watched Pau Gasol winning his second NBA Ring with the LA Lakers ... We hope he can win the third one next year! And also our Barcelona Hostel common room is always crowded to watch the Moto GP races ... is Jorge Lorenzo going to be next world champion? We hope so!
And of course the event held yesterday, the Spanish Football Team winning the FIFA World Cup ... Spain is in fashion, our sport is at the top ... and our Barcelona Hostel too! We are waiting for you, come to Barcelona, and smell the champions energy in the air!
And when you come to our Barcelona Hostel, remember that not only you'll be able to watch all sports events from the big screen with cable TV at our common room, but you can also exercise in our fitness center or swim in our pool for free!
