Euro 2008 is over and despite every game being covered live on US TV, including several games on a major network; no one at work seems to have noticed apart from two others (One Brit and one guy of Portuguese extraction)
Portugal exited at the quarter final stage, but Spain are worthy winners. They played with positive football with a definite style. I would have supported anyone who was not Germany in the final, but it was a pleasure to cheer on Spain. Much was made of the fact that they had not won a major tournament since 1964, but that is only two years before the great English triumph. Now that Spain have so decisively thrown off the mantle of European underachievers, there can be no doubt who inherits that title. I feat it may be held by those who wear the three lions for a long while to come.
