Del Bosque: Casillas not the sole scapegoat

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque insisted goalkeeper and captain Iker Casillas must not shoulder all the blame for the World Cup holder's 5-1 thrashing by the Netherlands.

The 33-year-old Casillas made a public apology after the humiliating defeat on Friday night in Spain's first game at the tournament. Del Bosque said the whole team must be held to account however.

"If a team loses it's not down to the performance of a single player," said del Bosque when asked if he would drop Casillas for Wednesday's crucial Group B game against Chile at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
