In Spain\u2019s first game, goalkeeper Iker Casillas was fumbling around the goal post to concede five goals. Such a showing will prove disastrous against Group B sleepers, Chile. Chilean offense was in full display when they dominated Australia 3-1. Alex Sanchez will be invaluable for Chile\u2019s frontline as a potent striker, scoring the first goal in its World Cup opener.
