Spain has won the FIFA World Cup title for the very first time in their history. Their extra-time goal claimed a dramatic 1-0 victory over orange-clad Netherlands in Johannesburg.
Congratulations & felicitaciones to all my friends in Spain who are most likely still celebrating and knowing them, will be for a long time. Not sure if the hombre pictured here is still celebrating, but this modern-day ‘man of La Mancha’ looks like he certainly did some partying of his own back in the day…perhaps he was a drinking buddy of Cervantes.

Congrats to Spain and i guess the Old Man had a lot last night during his celebrations.

Thanks a lot for the congratulations Lisa. I think I'm a "more modern" Spanish man than the pictured on your post, but YES: I'm still celebrating it. I'll celebrate it at least for the next 4 years. Remember that we are also EUROPEAN champions on soccer, wolrd champions on basketball, number one on tennis, champions on motorcycling etc. etc…

This picture is fascinating! I'm in love with it! And while I was rooting for Holland, as I met my husband living there, Spain will also have a piece of my heart, too.
