Assuming Spain is out after the match today, what in the world is their motivation to play the third match and doesn't that third team get a huge advantage because Spain could come out unmotivated?
I know it's risky to ask questions here. I did try Google.

Aussies would be out as well with a Chilean win.

There is no motivation other than it still being the World Cup. The team they'll be playing (Australia) will be eliminated as well.

It's not when you ask intelligent questions.
They should play for national pride (which no one from Spain seems to have at the moment). Some are probably playing to make a name for themselves (especially on the Aussie's) to get a new contract elsewhere.

People don't get mad for asking questions. They get mad when saying stupid stuff like, "How many world cups would we win if we had the Miami Heat playing?"
A question is a question, but a stupid chest pumping statement made into a question is stupid. If that makes sense.

Ask questions in whatever in game thread is going on. They still get answered and don't clutter up the board for the soccer board regulars. At least, that's what I do.

Hypothetically this could be an issue. However, in this group, both the Netherlands and Chile will have 6 while Spain and Australia will have 0. Mathematically, both of the latter two teams are already eliminated.
Spain v. Australia would be meaningless. For Spain, the only motivation would be to play some of the younger guys, get some experience, and take something positive away from the Cup.

pride. and if Spain thinks their fans are pissed now see what happens if they lose to a young Australian team.
