Yeah, I knew nothing about soccer. It seemed like the Dutch upset the Brazilians and Brazil was unhappy with Dunga.

I had no idea what Euros or anything at the time. I just thought Spain controlled every game.

Well the Netherlands flamed out in hilarious fashion in Euro 08. Spain was always thought of as a perennial underachiever, so it was surprising when they won Euro 08 the way they did, with very technical, entertaining football. Brazil was playing really well with Dunga as he introduced a very European style. Then they lost to the Netherlands in hilarious fashion.

As someone who was a big follower of Spain in 2010, I didn't feel they "dominated." Did they have a shite ton of possession? Yes. But they always seemed a fluke late goal away from losing or drawing tbh. That's what a low score line match will get you.

If holland played, not just tried to manhandle, in the final match, it could have been a completely different story. They had the talent.
