I can understand not having many options but Morata has 1 goal in 384 minutes

I said before the tourney that I thought Dani Olmo could’ve had his coming out party onto the main stage. Looks like he’s got a bit more work to do

Yep. Spain is great at creating chances but atrocious at finishing.

And a little on a Sweden win + Forsberg goal parley which admitdly probably wasn't the best longshot bet

Dumb question incoming.

Been a PL and World Cup fan for a long time but the Euro has always slipped through the cracks for me and I've never really watched or paid attention. How seriously do these guys take it? Is it a big deal for the countries/players/fans or is it kind of an afterthought kind of like the FA Cup compared to winning the PL/Champions league as a comparison for England.

It's a big deal. All the big players take part and they all (typically) go all out

Some people argue that the EUROs is the hardest tournament to win in soccer.

It's taken extremely seriously.

I've been watching in and out at work - every time I look up Spain is screwing up some good chance.

85% possession for Spain to 15% for Sweden.

15 shots for Spain to 4 for Sweden.

895 passes for Spain to less than 200 for Sweden.

And it's 0-0. Unbelievable.

Building a possession based team around playing crosses into profligate strikers is a genuinely weird decision, but go off Luis.

First scoreless game of the tournament so far. Spain should riot for this performance.

It felt like they were following a script and Sweden figured it out early. "Sure, let Jordi Alba be your most dangerous player"

Someone told Luis Enrique that Spain had to play possession soccer and he gave it the old college try.
