Iker Casillas admits he was well below par as Louis van Gaal's side crushed the world champions 5-1 on Friday.
The Spain shot-stopper thinks he must shoulder much of the blame for Spain's humbling 5-1 defeat to the Netherlands.
"It's time to be quiet, to reflect and think about the next match against Chile as a final," the 33-year-old was quoted as saying by Marca.
"We apologise, and I am the first in line. Our fans must give out the criticism that comes to us and forget what happened soon.
"I have not been up to par and I accept that. We have not been fortunate, starting with me. Now only we think about the next game.
"I have to take the blame. All we could do is think about the next game when they scored the third goal and went further behind. I am mature enough to receive all criticism. We must sort ourselves out."
Casillas made a crucial mistake in the second half when Van Persie scored the 4th goal for Netherland. Anyway Del Bosque thinks that was not his fault.
