Spain loses title

So for those who have not yet heard Spain is no longer ranked number one in the world! Spain is now ranked number two in the world putting the Netherlands in the number one spot according to the FIFA statistics. It seems to me that the Netherlands are more determined then ever to out rank their competitors after a shocking loss in the finals of the 2010 World Cup. Most of you recall that Netherlands was one of the favourites to win the World Cup 2010 due to their strong plays and competitive attitude. Unlike Spain the Netherlands have been in the World Cup finals a couple of times and having loss to Spain, a country that most thought was not going to make it to the final, was a slap to the face to the strong Netherland team. Spain has been ranked number one in the world after having been crowned Euro Cup champions back in 2008. This comes to a shock for the Spanish community after having won the Euro Cup and two years later beating the Netherlands in the championship game of the World Cup in 2010 crowning them World Cup champions. With the Euro Cup around the corner and the World Cup coming up in three years will Spain be able to gain its title back as "the best in the world"? Or is the time of "la furia roja" over and the time of the Dutch about to begin?
