Fucking hell. If only the Dutch had played like this four years ago!
I have just seen the score to the Dutch match.
I know nothing whatever of Spain's preparation, but I am reminded of France's "defence" of their World Cup, whenever it was. France were arrogant, under-prepared and, because they were defending champions with a free pass to the finals, totally devoid of competitive match practice. Holland, of course, had something to prove after their foul-fest of four years ago.
I hope Spain recover. I was so pleased for them four years ago, notwithstanding the fact that I had drawn Holland in the YACF sweepstake, and it would be a shame to see them humiliated now.
