I think you can get away with it... on the news tonight were pictures of the Spanish senate being disrupted by news of the game, as well as them announcing it on airline flights, etc... I hope they catch on in EEUU too!!

From the sports illustrated website (american sports magazine):

zero of the day:
Jose Luis Chilavert (Paraguay).
Before the match he was bragging that he would score two goals against Spain. He would have been better advised to focus on his main job, keeping balls out of his own goal. He was out of position on Fernando Morientes' first goal, but on the second, he managed to do even worse, missing the ball entirely and letting it run through to the Real Madrid striker. Chilavert's mistake was unforgivable, especially for a goalkeeper of his quality.
