OK. Thanks for the answers. Sounds like it wouldn't be a match to mark down to watch for the future.

So, if Spain had to play against another team that needed the win next, then it would just be the good fortune of that team to play a defeated and deflated power?

Good thing is that the Chile vs Netherlands game will be going on at the same time. Those teams will be fighting to finish first in their group.

In theory, yes, although sometimes the team that is already eliminated plays very loose while the other team that needs a result is wound tight.

This happened in 2002, when the USA (who needed a tie or a win) lost to Poland (who was already eliminated).

Thankfully, we still advanced because South Korea beat Portugal.
