The end for Spain? |
Defending champions Spain lost 0-2 to Chile in their World Cup match played at the Estadio Maracana in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Both Holland and Chile now go through to the next round with 6 points each ahead of their next game, coincidentally, against each other.
This is indeed a shocker as Spain was widely expected to qualify from this group.
It has however been quite a run by "La Roja Furia" as they have won just about everything the last 6 years, namely two European Cups and the 2010 FIFA World Cup held in South Africa.
They were however beaten by hosts Brazil in the final of last year's FIFA Confederations Cup.
