Football fans are shocked to see the result of the first match of the defending champions Spain when they suffered an ignominious defeat against Netherlands, 5-1. Surely Spain suffered the worst-ever loss by a champion. All credit goes to the Dutch who played a spirited game against their opponent and took a sweet revenge of the loss in the final 2010.
Social media are abuzz with the World Cup football matches. The fans are putting various kinds of interesting posts, pictures and remarks. With the start of the World Cup there are no dull moments now. We may see sleepy, tired faces during the daytime, but once night comes football lovers become chirpy and energetic. People everywhere talk about the result of the last matches and scrutinise the performance of teams, players and coaches. Everyone around us behaves like a football expert and does not shy away to dissect a game with great expertise.
The World Cup football has just started and I am sure many more surprising results will be there. It will be very interesting to see how defending champions Spain will come out from their shocking 5-1 demoralising defeat. But as a fan of the Spain football team I hope they will perform their best in the next game and make a complete turnaround.
