    Still, Spain played the better football. Though, over a thousand passes and only one goal is pretty telling that the team lacks fangs.

    From a neutral fan's perspective, it was a pretty terrible game. Spain was clearly the more talented team, but their style of play is so awful. It's like they were trying to lose.
