Spain won the European Championships for a second time in a row in 2012 before their World Cup failure.

Of Spain U21's starting line-up at the 2013 Euros, only David de Gea hasn't played UEFA football this season
Real Madrid have lost almost one out of every three matches in 2015. Carlo Ancelotti's side have already lost to Atletico Madrid seven times. The Italian is in perhaps the most embarrassing position of his career.
Marseille face Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade Velodrome on Sunday night. The home side are Ligue 1 top scorers, two points behind the visitors who are leaders and have won seven of France's last eight Classique matches. Culturally, socially and historically, there is deep enmity between the two sides. But it is also a contest which pitches Marseille ultra-eentric coach, Marcelo Bielsa, right where he wants to be.
Chris Smalling has been at the forefront of Manchester United's resurgence. Bayern Munich's Thomas Muller led the post-Porto celebrations. Steven Gerrard turned in a poor display against Aston Villa. Atletico Madrid play football on the very edge of the rules.
Porto's fans were co-ordinated in blue and white as they stunned Bayern Munich. Shivnarine Chanderpaul is a throwback to when Test cricket was true to its roots. Only the truest sportsmen keep going when nobody else cares. Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville's analysis is often a better watch than the game they're commenting on.
Tracey Neville takes charge of England and it's not looking good for the Rickies. Roberto Mancini's Inter Milan are way off the pace in Serie A. Phil Jones needs to improve quickly at Manchester United. Rickie Fowler will bid to break his major duck next week.
Jack Wilshere is not for sale at the end of the season, according to Arsenal. The 23-year-old is on the list of Manchester City's director of football Txiki Begiristain. He has not featured for the first team since he was injured against Manchester United on November 22. Emmanuel Adebayor, Samir Nasri, Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna have all left Arsenal for the Etihad Stadium in recent years.
Oscar has failed to complete 90 minutes in any of Chelsea's last 11 games. The Brazilian forward has not completed a Barclays Premier League match since the 5-0 victory at Swansea City, where he scored twice.

Gary Neville co-commentated with Martin Tyler for the Manchester derby. Neville was all over this thrilling derby right from the get go. He was also quick to point out what he saw as the 'graveyard' of City's right-hand side. The razor-edged corner of his tongue was saved not exclusively, but certainly frequently for Yaya Toure's performance.
Harry Redknapp joined BT Sport presenter Jake Humphrey for live broadcast of Arsenal vs Liverpool. The former Tottenham boss was in fine form as pundit for the Premier League clash at the Emirates. Ian Wright and Steve McManaman were quick to defend redknapp.
Gareth Bale has indicated he wants to stay at Real Madrid. But sources in Spain suggest the club could be willing to offload him. Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus is one star being lined up. Chelsea appear most likely to sign Bale - and they also want his Real Madrid team-mate Raphael Varane. Manchester United and Manchester City will be in the mix too.
Raheem Sterling has rejected a new £100,000-a-week contract with Liverpool. The 20-year-old could lower his value by buying-out the last year of his current deal for £1.7million. Jurgen Klopp's decision to quit Borussia Dortmund caused immediate reports that he could take over at Manchester City or Arsenal this summer. Slaven Bilic is in the frame to replace Sam Allardyce at West Ham. Southampton are set to make a move for Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez.
A potential domestic auction could be sparked for the purchase of Raheem Sterling. Chelsea, Manchester City or Manchester United are among those watching Sterling ahead of the summer. It could decide where Gareth Bale ends up if one club gets Sterling and the other two miss out. Liverpool have been strongly linked with a move for Arsenal's Theo Walcott.

Jordan Spieth won the Masters at Augusta National on Sunday. The 21-year-old clinched his first ever major title with a birdie on the final hole. Spieth was presented with his green jacket by Bubba Watson.

Nico Rosberg finished second to Lewis Hamilton at the Chinese Grand Prix. The German driver blamed Hamilton for slowing down and bunching him up as the attacking Ferrari of Sebastian Vettel closed in. Rosberg was, I thought, disgruntled by his failure to match his team-mate during a run of eight wins in the last 10 races. Bernie Ecclestone recently highlighted that commentators 'don’t fully understand' technical terms.
Memphis Depay is the Eredivisie's top goalscorer with 20 goals this season. The 21-year-old has been linked with a £25m move to Manchester United.

He has been likened to Cristiano Ronaldo by PSV manager Phillip Cocu and Ajax great Ronald de Boer.
Harry Kane has matched Michael Owen's best-ever total for a Premier League season. Kane has also won the same amount of tackles as Vincent Kompany. Owen scored a hat-trick against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough in 1998. The expectation on Kane is up there with Owen, Wayne Rooney, and Alan Shearer. But he must prove it is not a fluke, or a one-off, before he can even be considered a reason for England supporters to be chipper.

The Belgium international will have to beat off competition from Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea and Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane.

Jamie Carragher says John Terry will have told his squad not to vote for Kane or De Gea to give Hazard a better chance of winning the award.
Tim Krul congratulated Jermain Defoe on his goal at half-time during the Wear-Tyne derby. Sportsmail's Jamie Carragher criticised the Newcastle keeper for his actions. Andrew Flintoff, who famously went to console Brett Lee at the end of an Ashes Test in 2005, joined in the debate on Twitter.
Bournemouth sealed promotion to the Premier League on Monday night. Eddie Howe's side beat Bolton 3-0 to secure their place in the top flight. The 37-year-old is like Ian Wright, an exploding champagne bottle of a player; shake him up and watch him fizz.
Jack Grealish was fantastic but Fabian Delph was the best player on the pitch. Tim Sherwood has done a brilliant job with Aston Villa. Of the three promoted teams fighting for their lives at the bottom, Leicester look the most likely to stay up. Chelsea have an incredible record at home and an uncanny ability to win the big games.
Aston Villa take on Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday. Christian Benteke and Jordan Henderson are set for a midfield battle. Ron Vlaar and Nathan Baker will be hoping to keep Raheem Sterling quiet.

Sportsmail's Jamie Redknapp picks his top five Premier League goals of the weekend. Alexis Sanchez's goal against Liverpool is named No 5. Jermain Defoe's volley in the Tyne-Wear derby is also on the list. Charlie Adam's long-range effort against Chelsea is rated as No 1.

Anthony Joshua has been added to my May 9 show in Birmingham.

Richie Benaud was the voice of cricket for generations, commentating in his native Australia and for the BBC. He was a daring captain and became the first cricketer to score 2,000 runs and take 200 wickets in Tests. A master with the microphone to his lips, Benaud also was well aware of the power of silence. The chemistry he had with the likes of Tony Greig and Bill Lawry was amazing.
Australia have dropped the ridiculous policy of not selecting their best players if they are playing overseas.

Tim Sherwood has got to keep his emotions in check against Tottenham. The Villa boss is a passionate man but he can't afford to let things get personal.

He has revived Christian Benteke in the same way as he did for Emmanuel Adebayor last season.
Calum Chambers, Eric Dier and John Stones have all enjoyed excellent Premier League campaigns. Chambers has played at right back, centre-back and midfield for Arsenal.

It also slows bone growth, meaning sustained levels can lead to weaker, more fragile bones.

As a result UK fisheries will need to replace current species with those that prefer warmer water such as red mullet and John d

Most of the planets we know about are around 10-100 times closer. The discovery demonstrates that Spitzer - from its unique perch in space - can be used to help solve the puzzle of how planets are spread out in our galaxy.

The lights could be off during taxiing but on during take-off, to help the

The reservoirs are secure, and scientists don't believe they will impact climate change. Instead, they say similar formations could someday be used to store methane, that can later be used as fuel.
