Zenith 2016

an awe-inspiring comeback and a satisfying counterattack against the Chinese department, the
Spanish department snatched the 2016 Fiesta soccer cup from the hands of the previous owners, the

Chinese department. 2015 was a sore year for both the Spaniards and the Japanese, for the Chinese
department fl attened both departments and won the three ball games - soccer, basketball, and dodge

the Spanish department lose the cup, having it snatched away from their very fingertips? The very
prospect of the soccer cup lost before their very eyes seemed to be both a reminder and a stimulant

for the Spanish soccer players. With the start of the second half, the Armada showed adamant strength
and formed a wall to halt the penetration of the Chinese players. In the middle of the match, the
Spaniards broke through the ranks and scored, making it an even one to one. Then they scored another,
