Georgia, collective pleasure
Having arrived at this German Euro with the status of the competition’s underdogs, Georgia has hit a double blow: a first participation in the European Championship as an independent nation, and a place in the round of 16 that is far from being wasted. Here is a team united as one, and one that Spain must seriously be wary of.
In Georgia, the tradition of the toast involves wishing friendship, health, happiness and business success to your guests before raising your glass to your lips. On this euphoric evening of June 26, 2024 for all the Georgian people during the success acquired against Portugal (2-0), it is difficult to believe that customs were respected to the letter after the final whistle. On the other hand, one thing is certain: the world now knows the Georgian national football team, capable of making the legend Cristiano Ronaldo kneel down. Thanks to what ? A goal scored quickly, but also a state of mind like the discipline in which the country will shine during the next Olympic Games: wrestling. Also, this Homeric journey attests that a lot of heart goes into writing not just pages, but entire chapters. For a novel that still doesn’t know its ending.
Remember when you were 16-17 years old…
