Video: Bastian Schweinsteiger in the Middle of a Spanish Victory Parade
I assume giving a post-match interview after you just lost the final of a major tournament is difficult enough, but doing so while a group of Spanish players - spearheaded by Iker Casillas in a Christoph Metzelder jersey - parades behind your back, might make it just a wee bit more difficult, cruel and all the funnier for it.
What’s Spanish for “Stop rubbing it in”?

Jan, my Spanish is very limited and so I wish I know. Should ask my father someday…hang on, even his Spanish is limited as well. I don’t reckon the Spanish phrasebook my father used to buy many years ago will help. Unless he decides to brush up on the Spanish he encountered on his travels in his younger working days. As a result of those travels decades ago, it has always been the only foreign language he wants to master.
Michel, I will be surprised if Gomez does. I remembered during the final on the pay-TV I was watching, the commentator was saying something like ‘There’s going to be mixed feelings in the Gomez household tonight.’.
Looking at the video…the interview should have been done somewhere else. Not where the Spanish players are celebrating. I will be annoyed (Schweini looks that way to me when he saw the players) if this happens to me as well.

Jan, the way to say it in Spanish (well at least in Colombian Spanish) would be, “Dejen de restregárnoslo!”
This final for me was a very weird experience as my Paternal Grandmother was German, while my Maternal Grandmother is Spanish. I’ve always followed German Football since I have a stronger affinity with German culture in general and my favorite soccer team is from Germany as well, FC Bayern München. So after the match I called up my Grandmother and congratulated her, but I also got bugged by some of my classmates because of Germany’s defeat. So basically what ever the outcome of the match, some of my family was going to win and celebrate and the other was going to have to accept defeat. It’s a bummer that the part of the family that is dearest to my heart was the one that lost.

matcarvy: Thanks for the translation. I guess Mario Gomez must have felt just like you did after the final.




I do not think that the Spanish players did that on purpose. It just happens that they were just celebrating in the area and then the interview began. Anyway I would understand Bastian if he would get a bit angry.

yeah, it’s not obvious that he’s doing an interview, when he’s in front of a camera and gets a microphone stucked in his face…
somehow it’s a lack of respect, but they’re just celebrating they’re first big title after 44 year…




They’re not doing it to rub in it. They’re just celebrating. I still hate them though… just until I recover from Germany having lost ;(

I think Mario Gomez must have ambivalent feelings about Spain’s win but he’s professional enough to support the country he plays for and i’m sure he’s just as hurt as the other German players.

Chitra, you can’t really blame the Spanish players. It has been 44 years since their country ever won something in football. That is how I see it. And for me, I rather remember the matches we did well. One way to ease all the unhappiness of the final for me.
Anyhow, compared to Spain ending their 44-year drought of another major title in football, this is more worse given it has been 48 years(!) since my country ever has an Olympic medal. Yes, the 1960 Olympics was the last time we ever get a medal (a silver one at that and it’s in weight-lifting). Ah, unless something happens in Beijing next month (there are hopes that our table-tennis, or ping pong to some, contingent can end the drought). So in a way, I can feel for the Spanish players.
But other than that, the fact that it’s a Liverpool player (Fernando Torres plays for that club) scoring the eventual deciding goal makes me, the Manchester United supporter go a little sick in the stomach. Um yeah, outside of German football, Manchester United is the club I support. Given of the rivalry between the two clubs, I almost swear when I was watching the final, I was not too happy at all when the goal came. So it’s not just from the viewpoint of a Germany fan.

What’s your problem? There’s been a Hitler figure since 1930s in London’s Tussaud’s and there’s also been a Hitler figure since 1948 in Hamburg in the Panoptikum. Don’t be a slave to the media, use your brain.
PS: How does this concern the topic?

Francisco: don’t bother reacting or replying. This troll is posting racist bullshit using multiple personalities for a while now. As soon as I spot it, it’ll be gone.




Porchetta: You saying that you’re not racist is the funniest bullshit coming out of your mouth- well I mean words typed with your fingers. You honestly hide too much behind your computer harrasing all blogs except for your little Italia one. Honestly, you can comment all you want but your opinion doesn’t matter to anyone.

I’m a spaniard, but honestly I don’t think that the Spanish did that to rub it in. Any other team that would have won this tournament would have been celebrating and I don’t think they had noticed they inturrupted an interview. Continuing on, Germany played really well against Spain and I congratulate both teams. I predict both teams will go far in the World Cup of 2010! Viva Espana para siempre!




I know I’m late to the conversation. I think both teams were a class act on the pitch and there are no hard feelings against Spain. Having been born in Berlin, I am as true-hearted a Mannschaft fan as they come, but I have to say, Spain is above the traditional nonsense that you see on the field by less sophisticated players. I still remember in the WC’06 semi-final when Gattuso offered his right hand to Klose to get up and with his left hand he pulled on Klose’s ear. Spain is well above that kind of nonsense.
