From a perspective as Mexico's long time rival I must say, it does seem good to see them playing better, I mean, last year was so bad for them even WE felt bad! Its one thing to have a rivalry, its another to watch your rival collapse beyond being even remotely competitive! I want to beat them, not watch them get beat up! Hence why last night was also so bad for Miami Heat, I mean, I'm not a hater and all respect to the Spurs but really, watching Heat get annihilated 3 out of 4 games has been to say the least humbling.
In Orthodox Christianity, the focus is on embracing reality and getting away from the realm of fear and fantasy which dominates the human mind. We often let our projections of the future (as fears or fantasies) dominate our perspective, and really, that is naive. The future is totally out of our control, we can prepare for it, but we can't fear what hasn't happened and we can't celebrate what hasn't happened either! Ironically sports is almost entirely predicated on this human reality, that we prefer speculation about the future rather than embracing the present moment. I honestly believed Miami Heat could have beat the Spurs, and I am humbled to realize
it was a fantasy, no matter how grounded in real life statistics. As to Mexico, I will admit to overly celebrating their demise, but also quickly missing the rivalry so now wishing them well. As to Spurs, thank you for the reality check, its important to be realistic, even if the situation sucks, how else can you honestly improve on it with out honesty?

and that first netherlands/spain half time is the best so far. though that penalty was pure BS.

The second half is even better
