Spain have been good AND lucky

I am surprised that Mikey hasn’t picked up on this but they lost on XG against Croatia, Germany and France. They do give away chances, it’s just that teams have not taken them.

Obviously it can go either way on a specific moment but I think we have a very good chance of winning.
