Spain captain Raul was devastated following his team's exit from the World Cup in the second round after a 3-1 defeat to France.

"Here the real World Cup began and it has been a big disappointment for us," said Raul, who had hoped to celebrate his 29th birthday with a place in the quarter finals with Brazil.
