In a result that will send shockwaves through the world soccer, the Netherlands scored five unanswered goals to beat defending champion Spain 5-1 on the second day of the World Cup.

It's the worst defeat ever suffered by a defending champion.

Spain has been the best team in the world for nearly a decade, winning three-straight major competitions. On Friday they were embarrassed by a Dutch team that barely kept up with them in a lackluster World Cup final in 2010.

They left with all three points in one of the best performances ever, considering the opponent.
