Spain have joined the list of soccer giants who could not progress to the World Cup quarter finals after losing 4-3 to hosts Russia in a penalty shootout.

The match ended 1-1 after extra and Russia were hugely inspired by their vociferous fans throughout the game.

Yesterday Argentina lost 4-3 to France while Portugal bowed out of the World Cup Tournament following a 2-1 loss to Uruguay.
