  • The Spanish Domination Begins... EURO FINAL - 2008

    Would this final be about Iberian brilliance or German pragmatism? We obviously know what Spain would produce both domestically and internationally over the next 4 years but was it really a done-deal that they would dominate judging by this tournament alone?
