2009: ¡Viva la Revolución!

cuban flag

I had this flag on my bedroom wall during the 60s. This year's the 50th anniversary of the revolution, so I reckoned it was a good time to give it an airing.

"This, people, is how football is played in paradise. Movement, dribbling, interchanges of passes - delicious."
TuttoSport

"Fabregas was a throwback to the days of midfield craft, of building a network of passes, of making delightful triangles and then forcing himself into the cutting edge of the action. His performance was stunning in its precocity."
Independent
