The protanopios, those unfortunates who do not see the red

Protanopia is a visual dysfunction that is the lack of sensitivity to red, as is also known as red dicromacia. Is one of the most common types of blindness as, in the vast majority of cases, blindness toward the red color is accompanied by the same problem with the green. In Spain have some form of color blindness 8% of men and 1% of women. But in the football world there are many, many more.

Thanks to recent major tournaments he has played the Spanish, including one that is ongoing, Euro 2012 Poland and Ukraine, which we have already qualified for the finals, we proved that in Spain there are many more protanopios of what one would expect: a crowd of people, too, which has serious trouble seeing the color red and, instead, just come in white or Blaugrana, as appropriate.

People with type protanopia Blaugrana consider Arbeloa should play as much in the Ponferradina. When you judge that we should not play with double pivot do so from a reasoned reflection, but are limited to just say that Xabi Alonso upsets the Blaugrana midfield home and limit their role in the Red by little else to do at quarterback. Others require the ownership of Victor Valdes or, rather, they had been doing until last Wednesday, of course, now see who the brave who dares to say something about Casillas (as it did in the Mundial'10: at the end no choice but to shut up).

Meanwhile, the suffering of white protanopia when they hear the name of Pique mentar can only think "Ah, yes, the bastard that which benefits Shakira" When valuing Busquets only consider those two or three times risked a lot, but has not lost the ball, and diminish their role in the team car to the broom. And for them the only one who is tired throughout the selection is Xavi. Iniesta, perhaps by having the skin as white or because at the time got a goal of some importance, is the only one who is saved from burning.

A few days prior to crossing the semi-final with Portugal, have seen cases of acute white protanopia in patients who claimed that falling Spain, at least they would be the consolation of seeing three Whites prevail over the Catalans of the Red, to they added that this would ensure Christian supposedly the Golden Ball Seeing is believing ...

Those who do are able to see the red color we split into two groups. On one side are those who are neither the Madrid nor Barça, but of any of the other teams in our league. That is Seville, Valencia Aleti or protanopia not suffer through the pride they feel for one or two players on his team to represent them in the selection. These people, far away (and tired) of the eternal dispute between the two giant TV income, enjoy more of the selection that protanopios, scarves because we so proudly wear throughout the season have given vacation this month.

On the other hand we have another very honorable group: Real Madrid or Barça, for having blessed with half a brain, are able to look beyond the colors worn by the rest of the year. And it's not easy being one of them, because the radical protanopios around them can get to accuse them of high treason for simply daring to say that Arbeloa is not that bad or they would choose to Busquets before Alonso.

The protanopios existed since time immemorial, long before the Spanish team was champion of everything. But now we live in a time of success, the existence of protanopios surprised me is more than ever. Is that even winning are able to heal? Well no, because now base their survival in the war that absurd debate revolves around what team has contributed and contributes more to the game and the success of the Red.

As in the last European Championship and the World Cup, as Spain has been overcome in this Euro rounds, the protanopios, like ostriches, hiding her head go. By now, three days of the end, few will bluffing with its bark-minded. But do not fool anyone. We all know who they are. And the truth is that it's funny how they try to hide look, how they speak of red as if they were really able to see it. But beware: if we lose the final to Italy, again showing off everywhere, blaming it on the front (which they consider "front"). And the coach, of course.
