Teams

The 2010 World Cup champions have had a torrid few tournaments, failing to get out of the Group Stages in 2014 and then being eliminated in the Round of 16 four years ago against hosts Russia. Their qualification campaign had few issues; they lost one match against Sweden and required a point to secure top spot on the final day, but they did end up finishing the group 4 points clear. Spain had a decent European Championship campaign last year, making the semi-finals but losing out to eventual champions Italy on penalties. A few months later, they got their revenge by defeating Italy in the semi finals of the UEFA Nations League, but they did lose out in the final with a 1-2 defeat against France.
