The Spanish national football team essentially crashed and burned at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and they aren't exactly setting the world on fire in the qualifying rounds for the 2016 European Championship, either. However, in spite of Spain's recent struggles on the global soccer stage, the Red Fury still have enough built-up respect and notability to remain the frontrunners in their World Cup 2018 UEFA qualifying group G.
Group G also consists of Italy, Albania, Israel, Macedonia, and Liechtenstein-Spain should have little trouble qualifying for a spot in Russia in 2018. The Red Fury haven't missed out on World Cup qualification since 1974, and have typically been a consistent fixture in the knockout stages of the prestigious FIFA tournament. 2014, which saw Spain eliminated after two group stage losses, was the country's worst-ever performance in WC competition.
Out of Gas?
Still, while Spain certainly have - September 11, 2015
Ever since last year's World Cup, the narrative with the Spanish national football team has been that they are experiencing a decline. The squad's dismal performance in Brazil-where they were partially expected to win a second straight World Cup title, but were instead eliminated from tournament contention after just two group stage fixtures-plus the retirement of numerous key players, left Spain looking weak. Indeed, going into the 2014 World Cup, Spain were at number one on FIFA's world rankings list; today, they've dropped down to 11th, surpassed by Germany, Argentina, and even England. But recent fixtures have seen an improvement in performance as Spain lead Euro 2016 qualifying Group C, is this an indication of a rise back to prominence?
Ironic Underdogs
As the qualifying competitions began for the 2016 European Championship, it seemed as if the Spain - July 04, 2015
In the qualifying competition for the 2016 UEFA European Championship, arguably no group has afforded us with more surprises and unexpected team performances than Euro 2016 Qualifying Group C.
(Group C consists of Spain, Slovakia, Ukraine, Belarus, Macedonia, and Luxembourg.) Predictions for the group were somewhat up in the air from very early on, largely because Spain's poor performance at last year's World Cup gave soccer experts pause in predicting the two-time consecutive Euro champions as the favorites for the group.
Now, six games into the qualifying competition, Spain are doing better for themselves than many might have feared following their early World Cup elimination. However, the biggest story of Group C has to be Slovakia, who is just one of two teams in the entire qualifying competition - June 12, 2015
In 2008, the Spain national football team won their first UEFA European Championship title since 1964. In 2012, after winning a World Cup two years earlier, they won it again. The trio of international victories handily established the Spanish national team as the best in the world. More than that, though, the triumphs created a fairly compelling argument that this modern incarnation of the Spain national team was the greatest football squad ever assembled. But, can Spain retain the European Championship title in next year's Euro 2016 tournament?
A Fall from Grace
But time changes everything. Since their last Euro victory, Spain have fallen out of the top spot on FIFA's world rankings (they are currently in 10th, behind France and in front of Switzerland). The fall from grace is due almost solely to Spain's disastrous run at last summer's World Cup in Brazil. Rather than - April 02, 2015
The Spain national football team has been in something of a decline ever since their early shock elimination from the 2014 World Cup. The football squad is staying alive in the qualifying rounds for UEFA's 2016 European Championship, and notched their first competitive win of 2015 on Friday in a home game against Ukraine. But is the Red Fury still one of the dominant forces of global football? Will they have a shot at defending their two consecutive European Championship titles next year in France?

The match will not only be the nation's first football game of 2015, but it will also resume qualification play for the 2016 European Championship. The Spaniards,

That's where UEFA will hold the 2016 European
Championship, which is set to begin a year from June 10th. However, before they can defend their 2008 and 2012 Euro titles, the Red Fury will need to actually qualify for the upcoming UEFA event.

The Spain national football side will play one more competitive game in the calendar year of 2014: a qualifying round fixture with Belarus. The outcome of the match is expected to swing in Spain's favor, given the team's current status as two-time
consecutive reigning European Champions. However, after a loss back in September against Slovakia, many are wondering if the Spain football kit 2014 and the players wearing that kit have what it takes to win a third title in a row.
The doubts about Spain's chances aren't all that surprising, given the team's fairly dismal performance at this summer's World Cup in Brazil-another football event at which the Spaniards were the defending champions. Still, high scoring wins in other Euro 2016 qualifying matches (against the likes of Macedonia and Luxembourg) are - October 06, 2014
The Spanish national football team may not have done well at the 2014 World Cup, but the group will have ample opportunity to make up for that with the forthcoming 2016 European Championship. Qualifiers are underway for Euro 2016, and fans of
the Spanish national side will want to have the right gear ready to support their squad. Luckily, Soccer Box still has stock of the Spain Adidas football jersey from this summer's World Cup, and best of all, the shirt is currently available at a discount!

Things didn't work out that way, of course. Spain suffered crushing losses against teams from both the Netherlands and Chile in the first two matches of the group stage. The defeats made it impossible for Spain to make a comeback, which meant that the defending World Cup champions were eliminated from the tournament before the group stage was even finished.
Luckily, Spain has another chance to shine brightly. Qualifiers for the 2016 European Championship are now underway, and despite the crushing World Cup disappointment, Spain will nonetheless contend for its third consecutive Euro title.
