The irony is is that Spain haven't even played tiki-taka, they've been much more direct with Costa.

5 cans of Guiness were all that remained on the supermarket shelf. It was then he knew what was to be tonight.

Their defence is awful. Papered lots of cracks.
And Costa/Torres aren't clinical enough.

I don't know, but it shows you one thing nothing lasts forever and know one is unbeatable for ever like we thought the Spanish were in the past, i'm not saying the Spanish can't comeback they can as they are still a quality outfit but tonight's result is bound to knock there confidence.
Spain could end up winning both of their remaining games, but still be eliminated on goal difference.

Spain's team were 4 years younger then.
Very easy to say in hindsight but the warning signs were there at the Confeds last year, this is a tournament too far for this group of Spanish players and del Bosque should have been working in some of their excellent younger players by now.
Don't get too excited about Holland making great waves in the competition. It's possible, but Spain's defence has been absolutely appalling. Cameroon can hold their heads high now after their much more dignified defeat this afternoon. Who'd have thunk it?

By now he's probably passed out and might never remember this historic event.
