Similar stuff is said every four years, I don't really pay attention to it. Sides can change quite a lot in two years of international football and you can never discount talent. Next year, will someone beat an in-form Spain? Probably not. But that doesn't mean a smaller nation can't make the final.
I give spain 2 to 4 years more, almost all their players are at the peak of their careers and some of them like Fabregas, Iniesta, Ramos, Casillas (who is not even 30) still have a long way to go before going in decline.
Spain will probably contest the final of Euro 2012.
I think the main challengers for the title besides them are obviously Germany and the Netherlands. Italy/France/Portugal are all on the next level IMO.

They ended in that order but they weren't the favorites.
Well, Spain were and probably Germany. But i remember Brazil being the main favorite with Spain, the Netherlands were nowhere to be seen yet they kicked out Brazil and went to the final.
Holland and Germany weren't in the top three favorites. According to the bookies Spain, Brazil and England were, then Argentina, if I remember correctly.
