Spain's World Cup Challenge Built on Record Breaking Historic Defence Spain's World Cup campaign is a testament to the power of defensive solidity, a quality that has become increasingly rare in modern football.
Luis de la Fuente's team has built its foundations on an impenetrable wall, one that has allowed them to reach the quarter finals without conceding a goal.
This achievement is all the more remarkable given the attacking talent at their disposal. The statistics are impressive: six consecutive clean sheets, surpassing Italy and Switzerland's previous records.
