You're missing the point.
A great team in the terms you're talking about should dominate for at least a decade, the fact that a Brazilian team could go into the world cup in 1994 with an average age of over 28 (the oldest of any Brazilian team) and go on to win that many trophies over the next 8 years says something about their quality, that they could win that many trophies with a team in transition.
Not taking away what the Spanish team have done but lets see if they can sustain it further down the line when they players get older, lose the hunger, retire and so on and see what their replacements in that team do.
