Can England Finally Outrun Spain's Past Dominance?
England vs Spain Who's Ahead in Their Match-Ups?
So, England and Spain are like two big-deal soccer teams, right? They've both had their moments, but they don't face each other all that often when it really counts.
Spain totally crushed it from 2008 to 2012 with players that seemed like they were from another planet. Meanwhile, England's been trying to find that one thing that'll get them a win since they nailed the World Cup back in '66.
Remember that song, "Three Lions"? Yeah, it talked about 30 years of not winning much, and that was in '96. So, you do the math, it's like 28 more years of waiting by now.
But Spain's story isn't all sunshine and rainbows either. They've had their rough patches too. They used to play in a way that was kind of meh, but they turned it around and started playing this cool, flashy style everyone loves now.
So let's talk about the times they've played each other. The first big match was in 1950. Spain won that one 1-0. It wasn't full of goals like some of their earlier games, but hey, it's the first time they met at a major event.
