Spain are known for slow starts at World Cups, but a draw with Cape Verde was not what they had in mind for their 2026 opener.
Spain have a history of starting slowly at World Cups before finding their form, but nobody -- not even them -- expected to open 2026 with a draw against tiny Cape Verde. The result serves as a wake-up call rather than a major setback for the talented squad. With time still on their side during the qualifying phase, the team will focus on improving quickly and building the momentum needed for the tournament ahead. Supporters remain confident that Spain can turn things around and show their usual high standards in the coming matches.
