Thousands of Portuguese soccer fans came together last night at the Terreiro do Paço square in Lisbon, to see Portugal's national team win its first ever Euro Cup.

But much more so than during past tournaments, the most palpable feeling emanating from the Portuguese fans during the game was confidence—confidence that it was actually possible this time.
