Spain has greatly underachived in the World Cup, never advancing beyond the quarterfinals (they did make the final group stage in 1950), although often being touted as pre-tournament favorites. They did win the gold medal when they hosted 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona and the 1999 World Youth Championship in Nigeria.
