I was IMing a Spanish friend last night after the Spain-France match, and I was far more upset about the outcome than he was. He explained to me that there was no reason to expect Spain to win because they never get out of this round. Today, I read the player's comments about the game on the World Cup website, and pretty much everyone except for Fernando Torres was as pessimistic about what Spain's chances were as my friend was.
Is Spain really doomed to never get to the Quarter-Finals? Or is it a self-fulfilling prophecy--no one expects them to get past this round, so they never do. If it's the latter, then what would it take for Spain to have the confidence to get past the Round of 16?
