I rejoiced at one and shrugged at the other. Fittingly, Chile beat Spain 2-0 yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>Chile showed the extent to which Spain is past its sell-by date. Spain has become a product, a collection of starry names to sell to a depressed populace. The sales pitch used to work: they won the Euros in 2008, the World Cup in 2010, and the Euros again in 2012, an unprecedented streak. But what worked then never evolved into what <em>will <\/em>work now. Most of the players from 2008 were in Brazil in 2014: the goalkeeper Iker Casillas was benched by his club team for the majority of the past two seasons, yet started in this World Cup. His place was barely questioned. Of course he wanted to play: Spain has more than 50 percent unemployment for adults twenty-five and under; the players stood to win a bonus of 720,000 euros each if they won this World Cup. But yesterday their gaps on the field expanded like an opening wound. The players\u2014and soon after them the ball itself\u2014rolled around more and more slowly. They seemed to be playing uphill.<\/p>\n<p>But there will be more than enough elegies and eulogies for Spain. Let me instead sing the praises of Chile, a team that\u2019s been on the upswing for some time now. Their next and final match in the group stage will be against the Netherlands, with the two thus far undefeated teams vying for the top spot in the group. Coincidentally, both teams played Spain in the last World Cup, with Chile losing what was, like yesterday\u2019s game, a must-win scenario, 2-0. Both Chile and the Netherlands have already qualified for the knockout rounds, so Monday\u2019s game should be a formality\u2014but one of them will likely end up playing Brazil in the next round. But given the way Brazil has been playing, let\u2019s not get ahead of ourselves. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Then again, Brazil\u2019s next opponent is Cameroon, and I\u2019m less certain that the planet is round than I am that Brazil will beat Cameroon. Last night, the ghastly Cameroon team lost 0-4 to Croatia, who seems to have risen from the ashes of their opening game against Brazil last week. Let\u2019s hear it for team bonding: after the loss to Brazil, the Croatian players took to swimming and chilling poolside, in the nude. It worked.<\/p>\n<p>What else? Holland beat Australia. (You\u2019re not surprised.) Australia was, at one point, in the lead. (You\u2019re a little surprised.) Australia had possession of the ball nearly as often as Holland. (You\u2019re surprised.) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=T4VkVzOyVCE\" target=\"_blank\">Australia\u2019s Tim Cahill (who plays in New York!) scored a goal<\/a> against Holland as good as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4zwp7FXOVm8\" target=\"_blank\">Holland\u2019s Robin van Persie\u2019s<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newrepublic.com\/article\/118172\/world-cup-2014-anatomy-goal\" target=\"_blank\">goal against Spain<\/a>. (Your head hurts.)<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s how this tournament goes. At any moment you may see something that will stick with you for the rest of your life. The rapid, mazy triangulations of Brazil\u2019s 1982 team; Maradona\u2019s slalom against wobbling phalanxes of English defenders; Roger Milla defying age and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ptFgSROs05w\" target=\"_blank\">elevating Cameroon to dizzying heights with his goals, then teaching the world how to celebrate with style<\/a>, shimmying with the corner flag.<\/p>\n<p>Joy. This tournament keeps giving it, though it\u2019s sometimes buried. Yesterday, in Rio\u2019s historical Maracan\u00e3 stadium, the camera would often capture the dejected faces of uniformed Spanish fans as the inevitability of loss and the end of an era settled on them. In the highest part of the stadium, a gigantic screen often shows video of the crowd. Whenever someone would notice he was onscreen\u2014and it always took a few seconds or a nudge from someone\u2014everything about him would change. He would rise to his feet and wave to everyone. His mouth would move with the passion of a song. Hello, hello, go go go.<\/p>\n<p><em>Rowan Ricardo Phillips\u2019s second book of poems, <\/em>Heaven<em>, will be published next year.
