Who is the most succesfull footballing country in Europe?

Answer 1

I would argue Italy is the most successful footballing country in Europe. In the Euro Cup, they have the second most wins (just one behind Spain and tied with England), but have the most runner-up wins by far at 14. In the FIFA World Cup, they have the second most wins with 4, as well as 4 runner-up titles (ranging from 2nd, 3rd, and 4th).

Spain is also a great footballing country in Europe. In the Euro Cup, they have the most wins with 13, and are tied for the second most runner-up wins at 9, with Germany. However, their FIFA World Cup is not that great of a story. They only have one win, but was the most recent country to win (2010). Spain also achieved fourth place in 1950.
