Ranking the World Cup favorites based on international break performances

#2 Spain

Spain produced a masterclass against Argentina

Spain's performance in the International Break was just as great as their reputation. The 2010 World Cup winners showed why they have been regarded as one of the favorites to lift the World Cup trophy in July.

They had an interesting match against Germany where Rodrigo put the team ahead before Thomas Muller's screamer ensured the spoils were shared. They moved ahead with their impressive form and proved their class to the world when they played against Argentina at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano.

Julen Lopetegui's men inflicted an embarrassing defeat on the Albiceleste, winning the match 6-1 to conclude an exciting break as Isco scored an impressive hat trick, while Iago Aspas, Thiago Alcantara, and Diego Costa also hit the target.
