Ever since I started watching football many years ago now, when it came time for the World Cup, Spain were always considered a dangerous threat by many pundits that they would win the tournament, only to let everyone down time and time again.

Lo de Estados Unidos es meritorio, haber llegado hasta al final, tener contra las cuerdas a la selección de Dunga, desplegar un fútbol efectivo... pero Brasil es Brasil, y los demás, a remarla.

Really brilliant goal by South Africa's Katlego Mphela in that country's 3-2 loss to Spain today in the Confederations Cup.
