Twice, France in 2002 and Brazil in 1974. |
Say what? Brazil totally went out of its group in 1974! Poland defeated Brazil in the game for 3rd place after all.
It has happened twice - France in 2002 and Italy in 2010. It seems to be a European speciality ;)
To tell the truth, I felt Spain is gonna lose the moment I saw the lineup of Spain. I mean, WTF!? Del Bosque is just an idiot. There is no way in hell I'd even think about starting this game without making at least 5 changes to the lineup. At least. They got what they deserved. That fool decided to let names play instead of the best players and this always end exactly the same. Casillas has been playing shit for over 2 years, he's been the 2nd option in Real for a reason. Iniesta? He's a bench player! Costa? The guys is injured, shouldn't even been at the tournament. Never was a fan of Pedro either. Also - Busquets and Xavi Alonso in a game you have to win? What for? At least Xavi didn't play.
Oh, and people saying this is the death of tiki-taka know nothing about football. Where did you see that tiki-taka? There was no tiki-taka from Spain in this tournament. They played like shit, cause Del Bosque had no balls and prefered to field old vets for their old achievements instead of going with younger players that are much better. They are just paying the price for their stupidity, pride and ignorance.
