21. Spain
The defending champs are once again unable to make it past the group stages the following World Cup. A new curse? Probably not. Spain just played poorly.
They had their passing play going for them, but it only got them so far. They couldn’t produce offensively, with only one goal in total against Holland and Chile. Then when they changed up their lineup against Australia they scored three. Clearly a lot of changes need to be made.
