This world cup is throwing up quite some surprises. No one everever thought about Spain losing out to anyone. In fact, people like me have been bidding them to win the World Cup. Indeed, looking at the number of chances that they created in the last game, they were winners in themselves.
The 1-0 defeat they suffered in the hands of Switzerland, may only serve to prod the sleeping Dragon. Spain have great quality, but converting it into results on the pitch is very important.
Spain have always had great squads, especially in the late 1990s. With Raul, Morientes, Hierro, and many other players playing for them, or rather themselves, they did have a chance. But they never had the cohesion that they had shown in the Euro 2008.
But against Switzerland that was completely missing. I also would like to think that they didn't play their best. Because if they have, they are woefully short of practice.
