The Spanish national soccer team moved their camp from Palmerston - a city in New Zealand - to Wellington, because Palmerston was “boring” and “there was not much to do.”
In the next game, they lost 4-0 to Japan.
Moral of the story: When you’re somewhere to do a job, focus on the job 😁 (although I respect the need to have fun while doing a job too 🇪🇸)
The people of Palmerston were good sports about it. The mayor said, “I'd be quite happy to show the Spanish team a night-out in Palmy."
The city council released a statement too: "Hola La Roja (Spain). We've heard you are breaking up with us. We didn’t see that coming, but it’s ok. Whilst it’s one of the shortest relationships we’ve had, we’ve loved our two weeks together! We hear you’re telling people we’re boring. We thought that our slow-paced life was what made you fall for us in the first place?“
