Spain end 44-year title drought

Yes, you read that right. Spain has won the a major championship. A 1-0 victory over Germany made them the champions of Europe.

Football's perennial underachievers finally made good after Fernando Torres 33rd min goal. To be fair, the Spaniards were by far the better side in the finals and they were one of the better sides in the Euros. Even Germany coach Joachim Low admitted after the game that Spain had deserved to beat his side. The biggest difference for me was the decision by Spain's Coach Luis Aragones to play with only one up front and Torres looked very comfortable in the role as he played as the sole striker for a whole season for Liverpool.
