Spain is Cursed in World Soccer

The disastrous debut in Spain, with an unexpected defeat Switzerland 1-0 yesterday, facing the team of Vicente Del Bosque to the 'curse Netherlands' 1988: since then, all the champions of Euro have failed two years later in World.

France reached the semifinals in 1986 after winning the Euro-1984, but since then the rest of European champions have been disappointed in the World Cup (Holland in 1990, Germany in 1998 and France in 2002), or even agreed to the final stage (Denmark in 1994 and Greece in 2006).

The case Dutchman is the most significant: the country was amazed with his magic in the European tournament for Germany 1988, where he raised the trophy with one of the most memorable teams in recent decades, but Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit and Frank Rijkaard crashed into the World-1990, falling in the round with West Germany, made disappointing in that memorable event.
