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?
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.
