Spain

Spain, the juggernaut of soccer since 1920, has been dominating the field with the panache of a flamenco dancer. With 16 appearances in the FIFA World Cup, they have earned a place alongside only seven other teams to hoist the coveted trophy.

They’ve steadily qualified since 1978, but their victory in South Africa in 2010 was more of a swan song, even for this girl. Despite their fumbled performance in subsequent events, they have been strutting their stuff in the UEFA Nations League. However, die-hard fans were crestfallen when their team missed a win in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, losing to Morocco in the round of 16.
