The Most Embarrassing Losses In Football History Netherlands Spain World Cup 2014

In second place is the defeat of former World Champions Spain by the Netherlands. Their loss was the worst ever for a defending champion team in the group stage.

The Spaniards took the lead in the first half of the highly anticipated game. To their amazement flying Dutchman Robin Van Persie leveled the score line. By heading home beautifully with a diving header just before the first half.

It was a game that would not be easily decided. But the Dutch proved the world wrong by going on to score 4 goals in the second half. That saw the game to a 5-1 full-time score line.

This victory was as embarrassing to the fans as to the players on the pitch.
