Spain winning it four years ago was a fluke also.


Yep, Euro 2008 and 2012 were also flukes.


Winning a European Champisonship is not the same as winning the World Cup.  Even the Soviet Union one it once and was runner up three times but they never did much in the World Cup either.  Another good example is Greece they won one 2004 historically even the US has done better in the World Cup then Greece.

The problem with the Euro is that there aren't many teams. You need a lot less luck to win it. I don't think it's possible to win a WC by a fluke. I also don't think you can win the 3 biggest tournaments in a row by a fluke. Spain played a lot of games like shit but they still earned their victories because the other teams always played even shittier. It's less that Spain were lucky to win and more that their opponents didn't have their shit together.
