The game of football is known as fútbol in Spain, pronounced something like fuut-bowl and is occasionally referred to as balompie, which literally translates to foot ball. Although Athletic Bilbao were a major team in the first part of the 20th century, Spanish football has come to be relentlessly dominated by Barcelona and Real Madrid. Their rivalry was especially tense during the Franco era, with political overtones ever-present. Though tensions still remain as do many other regional rivalries - the Basque derby, the Galician derby, the Andalusian derby - not to mention matchups between the big Madrid and Barcelona clubs. Despite the immense success of Spanish clubs in European competitions, the Spanish national team had achieved relatively little until finally coming good at Euro 2008.
