If you ran this tournament 100 times Spain would have made it to the final once. This is the once. Even I can't be held accountable for that sort of ridiculous luck.
Didn't you say the exact same thing about them winning euro '08 though? Don't you perhaps think it just maybe more than a co-incidence/ridiculous luck that they've won 1, and made it to the final of the other of the 2 most prominent international tournaments in the past 2 years?
