Mostly I agree with the above, although Catalonia is still darker than Euskadi actually. Regarding the Italian team, the number of blonds is certainly considerably higher than in the past.

Italy is a very diverse country in terms of its people's looks. Did you not think the Italy team was lighter than normal? I think more than half of them had light eyes! Compare them to the Italy team that won the World Cup in 2006, or even from the last World Cup. They were probably darker than normal, this lighter and the right mix is in between.

They're mostly very light-skinned (though the one on the top left corner of the first photo looks vaguely mulatta), but there aren't so many blondes here. To explain what I mean, in the past most Italian football players looked like this.

Well the Spanish football, basketball and hockey teams are all heavily Catalan-influenced, a single Sports team is never the best example to base opinions on anyway. Was the Italy team at Euro 2012 representative of Italy? I don't think so. The Spanish football team from about 15 years ago were nearly all black-haired and brown-eyed (Hierro, Zubizarreta, Guardiola, Raul, Nadal, Abelardo etc), whereas most of the Greeks seemed dark-brown rather than black-haired.

I would agree that Greece is a little darker than Spain though, due to the Catalan and Basque areas of Spain being lighter than anywhere in Greece. Overall I'd put Greece alongside Portugal as the darkest country of mainland Europe, with Spain and Italy having more fair elements.
