This was Spain's first ever World Cup semi-final and the fans were in high spirits.
Hours before kick-off they were painting flags on their faces and Espana up their arms and legs; street stall holders were doing a strong trade in replica shirts and red and yellow wigs and hats.
All around, huddles of young fans sang Yo soy Espanol to the tune of "Kalinka". And everywhere, everyone was predicting victory.
"We're going to do it," one girl told me. "2010 is going to be Spain's year to win."
Spain supporter Abrupt end to German football-festSpain for ever; champions of the world!
"We'll play like we did in Euro 2008 so the whole world is impressed by Spanish players," David Cabo said, the national flag knotted around his shoulders like a cape.
"Our team is the best in history so we are going to change history tonight and win."
