Well, things didn't really turn out for Spain the way they would've liked, did they? After a 5-1 drubbing against the Netherlands and a 2-0 loss to Chile, Vicente del Bosque's men are taking the pitch today against the Aussies to play for some semblance of pride. Real Madrid captain Iker Casillas will sit this one out as Pepe Reina takes his place, but Sergio Ramos and Xabi Alonso will start.
Elsewhere, the Netherlands and Chile will fight for the top spot in group B, while hosts Brazil take on Cameroon. At the same time as the Brazil-Cameroon game is a huge match between Mexico and Croatia, with the winner moving on to the next round as the second seed out of group A.
RM players (likely) in action today: Sergio Ramos, Xabi Alonso, Marcelo, Luka Modric.
