Spain: The best team ever? Their place in history compared to great sides of the past

Spain won three tournaments in succession, something never achieved before by anyone. But if you compare them to the great international sides of the past, just how good are they?

The Italians won consecutive World Cups in the 30s, Hungary lost just one game in six years in the 50s... trouble is, that game was a World Cup final.

At the end of the 90s, France won the World Cup on home soil... and were even better when they won the Euros two years later. By the time of the next World Cup, they were absolutely terrible.

The one team that really seems a match for the Spaniards is the Brazil side of 1970. Their front five of Gerson, Tostao, Jairzinho, Rivelino and Pele is every bit as good...and there's a striker in there too. There's one way they can settle the argument once and for all. Go to Brazil for the 2014 World Cup, and win that too.
