That's exactly what's gone wrong for them at this tournament. They've got the idea of how they want to play, it's just not coming off for them.

People aren't just watching and admiring any more - they are chasing, harrying, winning.

Spain and Australia out of World Cup

Well done to Chile and Holland.

Australia were the second team to qualify (third if you count Brazil), and arguably the second team out. Seems fitting.

Hopefully Australia can put on another good performance against Spain.

Spain's only goal has been a debatable penalty

Debatable? More like outright wrong. You can't blame the referee, but it shouldn't have been a penalty. Costa, if anything, fouled the defender.

To be fair to them they were handed the group of death, and the fixtures placed them against their opponents from the last final, and against a very good side in Chile. The whole point of seeding was to avoid things like the Dutch-Spanish matchup occurring in the group stage, the seeding system failed and to be honest needs to be looked at.

Regardless of the group though, they were well and truly bettered and are out. To be honest they've been the worst in the group so far, although that might just be my green and gold goggles talking.

Chile are through and deservedly so. They could be a force through the knockout stages.
