Majesty318, did you see it LIVE in Sevilla last year? Didn't it start at like 2:00am and finish at 6:00am? Maybe it was tape delayed?? I wouldn't think most Spaniards would have much interest in watching the game, but the resulting score still usually makes it to the front page of the major newspapers.

I think it was around 10 or so that it started, because I didn't stay for much of it and I went back to our hotel probably around 12 or 1. I don't think there actually were any Spaniards in the bar, just a bunch of Americans whose study abroad programs just happened to have a trip to Andalucía that week... that was my situation.

Caminante-

In 1994 I saw Spain beat Bolivaia 3-1 at Chicago's Soldier Field in the opening round of the World Cup. Spain made it to the semi finals that year (I think). It was the first international soccer (sorry, "futbol") match I'd ever seen, and the level of competition was fantastic. But even better were the Spanish and Bolivian fans in Chicago, who marched down Colombus Blvd. to the stadium on each side chanting and singing their national songs and cheers to each other. What a sight. I've been an international soccer (oops, "Futbol") fan ever since. But this is The Super Bowl!! Nothing can match this for a one-day sporting event.

Where are those Ravens fans, who KNOW their team is going to be victorious? Sorry, but I'm sticking with the Giants!

Next Year ( He Said, Dreaming) The Chicago Bears!!

It is quite a production, however it really is only of much interest to people in the United States and I assume Canada. People outside of those countries don't really like the game itself very much.

Not everyone does like it. I live in Baltimore, home of one of the contending teams, where they have projected purple lights (the team color) on many public buildings. But not everyone is a fan.
I think of it as superbore.

This is a poor city, with rampant crime and much poverty. It's all part of the idea that if you give people bread and circuses (little bread, however,) they will forget our local government's ineptitude. Although Baltimore now has a new and forceful mayor, so that tradition might one day end. Or at least be reduced to tolerable limits.

We usually went to Finnegans to watch the Superbowl live - very difficult to go to work on Monday. One year I even saw it in Cercedilla- that was wierd!!

I can't think of Baltimore without hearing the first few notes of Randy Newman's haunting song. "Baltimore, man it's hard just to live"

gotta love those crabcakes, though!!

Nuria, and in Segunda we have the superbowls...
