Spain: "Ordinary" Champions of Europe?

After the pain and agony associated with not living up to expectations year after year, Spain have finally stamped their name in international football with the Euro 2008 crown. Their passing throughout the tournament has been slick and they've played football with the right, positive attitude. But, were they worthy champions? Did they really play the best football among all the 16 nations (17, if you still thought somehow that England were competing) ? The La Selección did, afterall, win the title with players from "lowly" teams such as Valencia, Villarreal, Mallorca and to please you Mancs out there, Liverpool. Does that make Spain "averagely" good? Whatever it is, Spain are the Champions of Europe and I'm just glad it didn't turn out to be a farce that was Euro 2004.
