I thought Spain were utter dogshit defensively against Croatia but outscored them because Croatia were just as bad. Switzerland were more organised than Croatia and Spain couldn't break them down even at 10 men. Hope Italy and Belgium is a better game and I'd put my house on either of them to stuff Spain.
If I was a National team manager re pens it would go like this.. son I don’t mind if you miss or your pen gets saved as long as you hit it hard. If you trickle it towards the goalkeeper and he saves it your dead meat.
Think I’d give credit to Switzerland personally. Really well drilled and difficult to break down even with ten men. If they’d had xhaka or however it’s fuxking spelled it may have tipped the balance. Stick fernando Torres or villa on Spain’s team they’d have scored three.
