Notes: I felt bad that a lot of new people had friended me when I hadn't posted since July. Therefore, this, which is the first thing I've written without Steven in it, I think. Set during the last international break, and thanks to parka_girl for the prompt.

Oh, bless.

I really hope Spain gets a grip and starts winning those qualifiers so that they go through. Okay, so I was bouncing like mad when Sweden beat them but I really want to see both teams go through.
Don't mind my boys winning the group though ;)

Glad you liked it! I really hope Spain can get it together, too, otherwise Euro 2008 will be a lot less pretty.

Aww, so cute and fluffy ♥

Thank you.

Aw, Spain. Why do they always have to make it so hard? (I blame Aragones, personally.) I really like how you've captured how frustrated the players must be, and Xabi trying to suppress his own feelings to make Cesc feel better.

Also: Steven wore this disbelieving kicked-puppy look for a week or so, and Carra yelled even louder on the pitch and didn't speak at all off it. *HEART*

Dude, it's totally Aragones's fault. I can't imagine them not being frustrated, so that was pretty easy to write. Poor Cesc, being all in charge of the midfield.

Hee. Thanks! I liked that part, too.
