FT: SPAIN 0 - 0 SWEDEN.

[surge]

Covid issues aside, Spain have a really good chance of going deep into the competition: Morata is capable of scoring against most defences here and their defence and midfield is strong enough to win battles in that area of the pitch. Not got a keeper you'd be fully confident in mind.

They're not going to get beaten up early by travel, heat or playing what can be classed as knock-out football in the group stages against other teams who should go far in the competition. A trip to Glasgow in round of 16 is probably the most they step outside their comfort zone for non-footballing reasons as long as things go to their plan.

Morata is no where near the class of the strikers they had when they were winning things and thats why they won't be near the final.
