did you know how the Spanish national team won the Euro because of advice from a lawyer Spain's national team won against England 2011 yesterday to win the Euro after an exceptional performance from Nico Williams who scored their first goal in the final but if it weren't for advice from a lawyer Williams might never have played for the Spanish national team before he was born Williams's parents Felix and Maria immigrated from Ghana hoping to reach Europe after struggling they managed to reach the Spanish city of Milla in North Africa but as soon as they arrived they were arrested and were supposed to be deported back to Ghana luckily Williams's parents met a lawyer who advised them to say they were from Liberia not Ghana because Liberia was in the midst of a war and Spain would have to accept them this is what Maria and Felix did and they entered Spain and had two sons inaki and Nico who grew up to help Spain win the euro
