Here's a quick article I knocked up to fill you in on the national side of Spain.
The Spanish National football team is called La Seleccion. The Spanish team began its international journey in 1920 when it played its first match against Denmark, which, they won by a goal.
Spain qualified for the 1962 World Cup but could not go ahead as it had tough members in its group. In 1964 Spain hosted the European Championship which they won and stood at the first position. The Spanish team made quite an impact in Euro 84 where they topped the qualifying group 7 with teams like Netherlands, Malta, Iceland and Republic of Ireland. Spain gave an impressive performance in Euro 84 to reach the finals against hosts France. Spain lost the match against France but this momentum helped them for the 1986 World Cup at Mexico. Spain qualified at the top of their group for Euro 2008.
Spain won all of their group games and finished first in their group. They defeated Italy in the quarterfinals and Russia in the semis to reach the finals. Spain defeated Germany with the score of 1-0 scored by Fernando Torres to win the cup. They are the current European champions after having won the 2008 UEFA European Championship. Trying to get Spanish football tickets for the major games can be very difficult, as they are almost always sold out.
