I still cannot digest Spain went home the way it did.
I actually gave my vote in this thread about seeing Spain the finals... So many teams I thought they would over-perform are gone now, among all the alleged scandals, etc. This world cup is being quite unpredictable.

I wasn't surprised by Spain's exit, but not at this point in the round of 16. Despite some slight modifications to their squad, they still have a powerful team to reckon with and go further than this in the World Cup. Let me just wish them success next time, although they did their best to advance far than this in this World Cup. Unpredictable events are one of the things that keep football fans throughout the world interested in the game. What a shock to see Spain leaving so soon!
More shock and disappointment have happened throughout the tournament. This time it is Spain to experience it. No one expected Morocco to win against Spain. During the 90 minutes on the field Spain could've made the goals. They missed it and Morocco did it well finally. Upcoming matches are going to be very interesting, and here to some shocks can happen.
losing on penalties was actually not something to be ashamed of because Spain had played as best they could until the end of extra time, especially Morocco, their defense was very good and Spain didn't manage to penetrate it, and even created many opportunities between the two but didn't produce anything because both of them also had a strong defense

Nothing to be ashamed of, true.
But keeping in mind how Spain had performed in previous world cups and the fact Spanish football is one of the most relevant ones on the world, I expected them to encounter little problem to defeat Morocco.  Sad

Let us see how they manage their incoming match against Portugal, I hope it will be a good game.
