Spain had failed to score a single goal against Japan and Honduras in the La Roja's representatives could barely believe it. "We had 24 goalscoring chances," said midfielder Javi Martinez after the side's shock defeat at the hands of La Bicolor Olimpica on Sunday. "We should have had two penalties," added Iker Muniain, while coach Luis Milla merely mused: "This team was good enough to win a medal." to will be no medal to unlike most spain sides over the last few year in what has been the most successful era in the country's history on the football field, this team will be going home empty-handed.

A sunday result may just be the greatest moment in the history of Honduran football for Spain is a question of what might have been to claim gold 20 years after doing so in Barcelona, La Roja return home early instead is a wasted opportunity for a side containing an embarrassment of riches, including Javi Martinez, Juan Mata, Jordi Alba, David de Gea, Adrian, Muniain and more and after winning Euro 2012 at the beginning of July, it is far from the fairytale finish they had hoped for this summer to many of those players will now set sights on Spain's next major tournament in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and there will be plenty of hunger following this disappointment.
