Viva Espana!

It's been a fantastic week for Spain, as far as the sporting world goes.

Last week, they won the European Football Championship and today, in an epic match that, including rain delays, spanned about 7 hours, Rafael Nadal dethroned Roger Federer, winning at Wimbledon.

While I won't get downright weepy (as commentator John McEnroe did), I will agree with him that it was, perhaps, the best tennis match I'd ever seen. Heck, the damned thing went on until after 9PM, UK Time!

The Spaniard is the first (male) player since the great Bjorn Borg to consecutively win the French Open and Wimbledon titles.
