It has seemed to me over the past few years that Spain have clearly had the best array of talent in women's football bar none, ahead of the USA, England, Australia, Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands etc. But of course their has been a huge amount of 'political tension' and in-fighting (well mostly the players hating the Jorge Vilda), absentees and just plain unlucky injuries, which they've had to manage and battle against.
During the Euros last year, I thought that they were the better team overall vs. England during the quarter-finals (and they'd lost Putellas and Hermoso just before the tournament started).
A first time winner of this tournament, which was already guaranteed after Sweden beat Japan in the quarter-finals, is great for women's football, and there's no doubt that this tourmament has been a big success and has allowed the sport to further grow and gain popularity.
