An overrated team gets perfect World Cup capsules

The warning bells sounded last year in the Confederations Cup when Brazil outclassed Spain in what seemed to be a one-sided match, but Vicente del Bosque and his troops ignored it hopping things will significantly change in their favour.  For how long were they going to ignore the danger signs? Well, World Cup was in store and it was a stage where differences were going to be squared out and pretenders were going to be clearly exposed – remember the 2010 World Cup final match.

Spain’s big name ruled the football world for over five years – six to be precise – and it was a reign that was accompanied with a string of wonderful achievements that any nation would yearn for.
