Football Talk in Spain
Chat about football, watch a big match in a bar and join a five-a-side game in Spain.
In Spain football is a huge part of social life: people ask which team you're 'from', big matches are watched in packed bars, and friends play fútbol sala on rented courts after work. These cards follow a newcomer who gets talking football with a colleague, watches the derby at the bar and ends up joining a weekly game.
