Credit to Chile, their *troll-tactic seems to be working excellently against Spain.

 

*troll-tactic as in bothering each spanish player that has the ball with atleast 3 of their own players, without any direct plan on what to do after getting the ball itself.

Wow, how did Busquets not put that in the back of the net?  Spain can't afford to let chances like that slip by.

Spain, even though they have created more chances now still looks powerless. At this point I am wondering if they might end this tournament with 0 points. Today's Australia could have them, I reckon.

Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

I mean. Spain have won everything. They are even better than France was a decade or so ago. They were one of the favourites, and to see them go out like this is abysmal. :(

Nice time wasting by Chile.

What a crazy fall for Spain.  From winning the last 3 grand tourneys to getting eliminated in the group stage and potentially not even scoring a single point.

They were never going to be as good this time, all their key players are old, younger ones like Fabregas are not being used properly, and why the hell would anybody take Torres anywhere near a football is a mystery.

This English commentator is making me want the English plane to crash on the way home.

Costa didn't do much better. No Alvaro Negredo was a crime.

 

I know some of their players are older but I still feel they should have done better. There were at least five players who played in this years Champions League final representing Spain.

I'm glad, they played boring football when it was working for them. Kinda like the classic Italian formula. Suck the life out of a match and score a single goal when there's 5 mins left.

 

 

Estatic to see Holland get its grove back though. Even if their midfield did not maintain the super high standard in the second half. 

Na na  na na  na na  ...

greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER.

That is all.

While I didn't expect Spain to be the juggernaut they were 6 years ago, or 4 years ago, or even 2 years ago, never, in my wildest imagination, did I see their fall from the top being this spectacular.

No points, but to me the worst is no goals. I don't really count a Costa dive-triggered penalty as an actual goal. And seven goals against in two games. That's just appalling, lol!

 

I don't know about Negredo, but I sure miss Llorente.
