Yesterday's blunder by Spain against Cape Verde (0:0) only extended the negative tradition of the European champions. Namely, the champions of the Old Continent in the 21st century have not won the opening match of the World Cup.

Portugal failed to beat Spain in the opening match in Russia 2018 (3:3), and Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar four years ago.
Germany national team captain Joshua Kimmich revealed that a venomous snake was seen in the team's camp.
"We saw a snake yesterday, they say it's poisonous. If it bites you, you have to go to the hospital. I don't think you would die, but it would certainly be dangerous. I have a feeling that if you step on a snake like this - it will end up dangerous," said the Bayern Munich footballer.
