Despite Spain's new King, Felipe VI, being sworn in on Thursday after his father Juan Carlos stepped down last week, the only abdication on the minds of most Spaniards was the one that took place in Rio's Maracana on Wednesday night. La Roja's reign is over. We have spent six years wondering how they managed it; on Thursday they were wondering how they managed to throw it all away. Coach Vicente del Bosque was confused enough following the game to mistakenly try to board the Chile bus. Predictably he led the early polls asking who was to blame. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Vincente Del Bosque get on the wrong bus . Shock: The world champions are out of the 2014 World Cup after two consecutive defeats . Won't need these again: Iker Casillas throws his gloves to fans after a poor display at the Maracana . Head bowed: Vicente Del Bosque got major decisions wrong throughout a dismal campaign for Spain . As Jose Mourinho, who described Spain's football as 'slow, sad and predictable' on his blog, is fond of reminding people when he loses: 'Victory has many fathers - failure only one'. The coach will carry the can and possibly pay with his job. He will not be pushed by the Spanish FA, and has a contract until France 2016, but Del Bosque may decide it is time to walk away. The coach was criticised for not doing enough to renew the team that won the European Championship two years ago; for not spotting the imminent decline. In his defence no-one had done more to bring Diego Costa into the fold and few questioned the 'signing' before the tournament started - only for the Brazilian-born striker to fail to score across 180 minutes. Horror: Casillas has been a walking mistake this tournament and was consoled by Sergio Ramos against Chile . Awful: Brazilian-born Diego Costa has been a huge disappointment for Spain in the first two games . Referring to his move to Chelsea after the game, Costa said: 'My future seems more there (in London) than at Atletico Madrid.' His new supporters will have been decidedly underwhelmed by his World Cup. Del Bosque might also have brought in Real Madrid striker Jese, Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago and departing Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes had they not all been ruled out by injury. Neither was he done any favours by the draw, with no team more desperate to face Spain than 2010's beaten finalists Holland. 'It was good while it lasted' was the headline yesterday in  Diario AS, and many wanted to dwell on the greatest six years in Spanish football. Others mourned the fact that two of their all-time greats had come to such undignified endings - Xavi sat on the bench and Iker Casillas sat helpless in his six-yard box, conceding seven goals in two matches. 'We didn't deserve it to end this way,' said the goalkeeper, while Xabi Alonso, who gave the ball away ahead of the first goal, gave a more brutal assessment when he said: 'We were not able to stay hungry.' Trouble: Fernando Torres looked more threatening than Costa despite struggling for form in recent years . Is that a captain's stance? Casillas looked bemused in the tunnel before going out for the second half . Out on their feet: The Spanish team looked tired in the second half, and were outrun against Chile . Not everyone was in mourning. Some celebrated the fact that €20million in bonuses had been saved.  That was the planned pay-out for landing a second consecutive World Cup which enraged many in a country with 25 per cent unemployment. In Catalonia, some were cruel enough to greet the final whistle with fire-crackers and car horns on Wednesday.  Barcelona immediately leaked news that they had agreed to sign Chile goalkeeper Claudio Bravo for €12m. The timing seemed opportunistic. Spain's success had always been tied to Barcelona's and there was always a chance that as Barça's star faded so would the national team's. Just as Barcelona fell from grace with a resounding thump - beaten 7-0 on aggregate two seasons ago by Jupp Heynckes' Bayern Munich - so did Spain. Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos led a small group of players who most Spaniards have decided are blameless. It was noted that he was one of the few to applaud Spain's 3,000 travelling supporters at the end of the defeat. Glum: Xavi (centre) could only watch on as his Spain side were utterly humiliated at the Maracana . They can't believe it! Spanish supporters watched on distraught as they were taught a footballing lesson . He will take the captain's armband from Casillas,who will surely now step down. A season spent as Real Madrid's No 2 goalkeeper has taken its toll. The miscontrolled back-pass, the feeble punch back into the crowded penalty area and the hopeless scrambling at the feet of Arjen Robben will be the nightmares he takes home with him. David de Gea's time has come. Optimistic voices were reminding  everyone that Spain remain European Under 21 champions and that players such as De Gea, Koke and Thiago have already stepped up. There is a basis for a new team, but not one that will go eight years without losing two consecutive matches, as this one had. Chile's Alexis Sanchez was gracious in victory saying: 'Nobody has done more than Spain for world football.' The  reality is that in seven days, six years of glory had been washed away. There are 10-year-old boys and girls in Spain who have grown up thinking their team winning was written in the rules. Today they know the truth. Football's crown never stays on one head for long. Six years was a record-breaking reign.
