Spain are three-time European champions, having won the UEFA Euro 2012, UEFA Euro 2008, and 1964 European Championship. From November 2006 through June 2009 Spain went undefeated for 35 matches, a record shared with Brazil. Spain are one of the eight national teams to have won the FIFA World Cup; they won their first at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa when they defeated the Netherlands 1-0 after extra time. Andres Iniesta scored the winning goal in the 116th minute.
The team's achievements have led to many commentators and football experts naming them one of the best international sides in football history.
