How did they qualify - Spain are looking to be a real threat to opposing teams this year, finishing second place in their group. The team played some great football during the qualifying rounds, a massive 6-0 win against San Marino proved just how strong the team are this year.

This will be the 8th consecutive time Spain have made it to the finals of the world cup and like all teams in the finals will be hoping to claim the title in the FIFA World cup 2006, Germany, however in the past Spain have never taken this title.

With the experience of Aragones, the power and skill of the players old and new will hopefully lead the team to victory. Since Aragones joined the team there has been a huge change in formation and there are also many new faces.

Since Spain formed their international team they have qualified in the world cup a total of 12 times. Their highest placing to date was back in 1950 with an impressive 4th place finish. Since then the team had a few consecutive years of not qualifying and then managed to regain entry in 1962 and 1966 but lucked out in the first round, yet another two years of not qualifying followed. From 1978 the team have gained entry in every world cup to date and have reached the quarterfinals 3 times.
