The World Cup has definitely continued to pull out surprises to both the viewers and the players of most of the highly rated countries.
After the demise of the World Best players Messi and Ronaldo, the 2010 world Champions (Spain) have bowed out of the competition after being held to penalty shootout by the Host country (Russia).
It's completely necessary to say that the Russia team had their game planned out knowing that they lack the capacity and ability to match the attack and defense of the Spain team so they restorted to playing completely defensive throughout the match and this payed out well for them.
Spain had 79% of the possession in the game at the end of 120 minutes but that didn't win the game for them.
Russia has been known for caring less about having the ball more as they are more concerned with the counter-attacking pattern of football.
Well let's see how far this takes the Host country.
