It only took 488 years, but Spain have beat England. Yeah, OK, it wasn’t a mighty battle at sea to decide international superpower, but on an Australian football pitch with incredibly athletic women. Still, a win’s a win and the Spaniards did so handily. Tonight, the Iberian Peninsula exults in glorious triumph over an ancient foe and the tapas bars are three deep with revelers drunk on warm Mahou, indifferent Sangria and victory. This evens-up a centuries old grudge match that rankles still.
