When a nation's athletes return home as world champions, the streets become a kind of mirror — reflecting back what a people most wish to see in themselves. On Monday in Madrid, Spain's World Cup-winning squad was received first by the royal family at the palace, then by nearly two million citizens lining the parade route, in a celebration that moved fluidly from formal institution to open street. The victory over Argentina in New Jersey had been a single goal, a single moment; what followed in Madrid was something larger — a country, often divided, choosing for one day to celebrate in unison.
