Spain advanced to the finals of Euro 2012 with a 100 per cent winning record. The achievement is the fourth time throughout recorded history a team to qualify for the European Cup with a perfect record. Others, no French ever did at Euro 1992 and 2004 as well as the Czech Republic when appearing in Euro 2000.

Throughout his performance in qualifying, La Furia Roja's squad is almost never face serious obstacles to make it fall into danger. Noted, there are six wins out of eight group stage matches with a score more than one goal scored.

The most serious threat only occurs when against Scotland at Hampden Park. When the Spanish 2-0. But the home side were able to equalize the score 2-2 before Fernando Llorente finally sealed the victory by scoring in the last ten minutes.

The only thing that could make a qualifying child custody Vicente del Bosque was left behind when fighting CKO Republic in Granada. But Spain managed to reverse the situation by replying to two goals.

Before 2008, Spain recorded as a team in the international football that poor achievement. The only international title of the European Cup she won in her hometown while defeating the Soviet Union 2-1 in the final in 1964.

But all that changed dramatically when it won Euro 2008 in Austria-Switzerland. Spain ended up being the most successful team in the tournament along with France. But both teams are still behind Germany who have lifted the Henri Delaunay trophy three times.

Now, nicks other achievements also have been in sight. Del Bosque's side have a chance to become the third team - after Germany and France - to be able to marry the World Cup and European Cup in the middle lies ahead. In Poland and Ukraine later - the venue for the joint Euro 2012 - Spain will seek to present as the first country that will retain European crown

Then, from his first 50 games as coach of Spain, Del Bosque has taken 42 victories.Others, two draws and six defeats. Successfully recorded a goal as much as 123 goals and conceded just 40 times.

Casillas has inherited the armband from Raul Spain which is still retained. He also became the first goalkeeper to ever lift the European Cup trophy as captain in 2008. Two years later in South Africa, he became one of the three goalkeepers who captained a team that never won the World Cup.

In addition, Real Madrid's goalkeeper has held the honor as a player with the most appearances for his country. He has surpassed the longest appearance of Andoni Zubizarreta as much as 129 times appearances, and still growing. Then, Casillas also still made it through another record for a goalkeeper Zubizarreta la Furia Roja were able to maintain a record of the longest without conceding in the Spanish national team.

The Barcelona midfielder became inspiration from Spain. Vision outstanding play, supported by feedback accuracy, ball control, and the ability to open the gap to rip the opponent's tight defense.

The playmaker previously only hailed as a phenomenal player at club level only. But everything changed when he brought his country at Euro 2008 champions. The record was increasingly equipped with Xavi election as Player of the tournament.

Since then, his name became one of the most consistent players on the gridiron. The continued retention of the achievement until now. Evidence already he showed it three times in the list of Ballon d'Or. In 2008, he was perched on the fifth, then up two places in 2009 and maintains the same position in 2010.

Jordi Alba is believed to be the successor to Joan Capdevila most worth in the Spanish national team. Valencia's players wallow success with Spain at junior level, such as helping his team win the gold medal Mediterranean Games 2009. In addition, the level of club appearances in the last two seasons makes it ogled La Liga giants, Barcelona.
