The only thing Casillas wanted to say with this video was.... :
a.- how much he loved his country.
b.- his days in the national team were over.
c.- his favourite actor is Sylvester Stallone.
What do you think? Watch the video and answer
As you have seen we have emphasized what the Spanish goalkeeper said by using a most interesting structure, that is to say, a CLEFT SENTENCE. But what is it? Here are a few links for you to see how cleft sentences work ( 1 2 3 ) and you can also do some exercises about this grammatical issue: 1 2 3
Some examples:
- It was 27th June when Italy defeated Spain in the Eurocup in France.
- What I want you to do this summer is to watch New That's English episodes.

Episode 160622 / 22 June 2016 >>> Expressions presented: cracks down, merciless, infrastructure & think tank.
To begin with, I think Casillas only wanted to say with this video how much he is grateful of all the fans who have supported him during his time in the national team. In many cases, there are many people who only makes false testimonies about Casillas and only want to harm him. From my point of view, José Mourinho has made a lot of damage in Casillas' career because when he arrived to Real Madrid, he only wanted Casillas to stay in the bench. Probably, the biggest injustice with Casillas took place in Real Madrid, because he went out of the team like he was a normal player, without a prestige. I think this.
ResponderEliminarNow, Spain is eliminated of Euro Cup, because of France defeated them in the 27th June. What a pity!! Yesterday, there was a match between Germany and France, France defeated Germany with two excellent goals of Griezmann, one of them of head and the other with the leg. It was a beutiful macth.
Perhaps Casillas is one of my idols, but I have many others idols. Because of him, Spain has won many competitions like The World Cup of South África in 2010 and the Eurocups of 2008 and 2012. Thank you Casillas for all that you are for this country.
