篇章：西班牙提前告别世界杯 Defending champion Spain, the dominant global football power for the past six years, was eliminated from World Cup contention Wednesday with a 2-0 loss to Chile. 在周三以0：2负于智利队之后，过去六年统治世界足坛的卫冕冠军西班牙队被淘汰出本届世界杯。 Spain have become only the fifth defending champions in history to go out in the group stage, but the first the lose their opening two games and thereby the quickest to ever go home. They are also the first team eliminated from the 2014 tournament. 西班牙成为了史上第五支在小组赛阶段就被淘汰的卫冕冠军，不过他们是首支开局两连败的球队，因而也成为了最快回家的卫冕冠军。此外，西班牙队还是本届世界杯第一支被淘汰的球队。 Chile, as they promised before the game, have made history. 正如智利队赛前承诺的那样，他们创造了历史。 The oddity was that Spain had at that point had more than enough chances to win the game well. The reality was that they didnt deserve to. 赔率显示西班牙赢得比赛的几率非常高，但现实却是他们配不上胜利。 The South Americans also consigned Spanish dominance to the past with a display that brilliantly outpaced their famous philosophy and made it look brutally outdated. |
