Spain won't win the 2026 World Cup if they continue to play the same kind of football they showed against Cape Verde. It may sound harsh considering the tournament has only just begun, but some performances reveal deeper problems than a simple bad day at the office. Spain's goalless draw wasn't just an unfortunate result caused by bad luck or an inspired goalkeeper. It was another reminder that football has evolved, while Spain still seem convinced that controlling possession automatically means controlling matches.
