As the conquering heroes, Spain, returned home after winning the European championship, Jose Reina took centre stage.
Reina gets the crowd involved
Explanation by a Spanish LFC fan: ..."It basically goes like this:
"The other day, I went to a restaurant and there was a very rude waiter. "Camareroooo (waiter)....."
then it's just a play with words, and phonetics.
The last one is a good example "Camareroooo....."
Que?
"Una de champiñones" (one of mushrooms)
(champiñones" sounds like "campeones")
campeoooooones, campeoooooones......
