Hola!
Here's my view from the Spanish training camp on the eve of their decisive match against Japan this evening.
I'll talk you through my exchanges with Luis Enrique at the pre-match press conference and what I saw in front of me as I watched training from the bleachers.
Oh and a cameo from Andres Iniesta!
Enjoy

0:39.6 | University training ground was a big security operation obviously because Spain is a valuable property. |

1:15.5 | is I think it's Wednesday but you know I can if somebody sues me for for I'm truth I won't |
