Not a huge fan of Spain but I am a little sad that they went out like this. A lot of veteran guys who accomplished a lot including guys from that 2010 team. I feel like all that shit with sacking their manager really set them back, this is not the same team we saw leading up to the tournament. It seemed like tactically the new staff was at once very hands-off and very conservative, basically wanted to leave things as they were and leave it up to a group of veterans to sort it out. the result was excessively bland, unimaginative and inconsistent.
