Mighty Spain, defending World Champions, many people's favorites to win it again, the stage all set.....and the roof caves in on them. I can only imagine the reaction in Madrid. The question is: can they, somehow, bounce back from this? Psychologically they must be shot to pieces.

Oddly after such a brilliant performance, I don't think the Dutch will get anywhere near winning the tournament. A great start though!
