Arlington: Pedro Porro, who scored Spain’s second goal in the 2-0 defeat of favourites France on Tuesday, said reaching the World Cup final was “a dream come true”.
“(I am) very happy with the team’s attitude from start to finish. I think we played a great match, we did everything we had to do today to reach the final,” said the Tottenham defender.“It’s a dream come true... We knew (France) was a very, very tough team, one that had been doing things really well, and honestly, this is the team’s achievement, not mine at all,” he added. The 26-year-old said Spain had played a “fantastic match” to beat the two-time world champions. Spain coach Luis de la Fuente hailed his team.
“We started almost four years ago with an idea and we’ve been faithful to that idea and it’s brought us here,” he said.“These players deserve everything,” he added. “Day after day they’ve shown their commitment, their solidarity, their generosity, their talent. They make the difficult look easy.”They move on to Sunday’s final against the winner of Wednesday’s semi-final between England and Argentina.
