Spanish fans began to congregate in central Columbus Square, cheering and predicting a strong win for the nation’s football team in the World Cup final. Two giant screens have been put up in the central square, one by the Spanish Football Federation and another by the Madrid city hall. Fans, many wearing the team’s national colours, blew on horns and chanted “Spain, Spain.” Adrian, a 34-year-old train driver, predicted Spain would win its second World Cup title. “Well, let’s win the World Cup, the second star. I hope it’s a clean match, without too many fouls, and that Spain wins. They’re the best team in the world.” Spain will face defending champion Argentina in the World Cup final at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
