Vine: Iker Casillas’ blunder for Spain last night was not pretty

Oh Iker...

Oh Iker…

Spain have been looking less and less like their superhuman selves in the last couple of years and their descent to mediocrity continued last night with a surprise 2-1 defeat away to Slovakia. This was their fourth defeat in their last six games and their first defeat in qualifying in over eight years.

Iker Casillas had a moment to forget, misjudging Juraj Kucka’s 30-yard free-kick which gave the hosts the lead. There is a bit of movement on the ball, but not a whole lot and you have to feel that it’s a big error from the Real Madrid goalkeeper.

It’s schoolboy stuff and if you did that on a Sunday morning in the park playing for your local team, you would be rightly chastised and slagged by your mates.

David de Gea must be licking his lips right now.
