This is basically gaslighting at this point. Setting a team up to completely monopolise possession of the ball, including playing without a forward, and not shooting regularly at goal (because it risks losing the ball and thus being countered upon) is to the intent of suffocation and to prevent any natural cut and thrust of a football match breaking out. It is fundamentally a defensive tactic by its very design. It has been the modus operandi ever since that loss to Switzerland in 2010.

 

Spain's games are always the worst at a tournament for this reason, and the other side is always blamed for it entirely for some reason.

 

 

 

 

I thought it was the opposite. First half, I thought Morocco were brilliant. Boufal especially had Spain's number. Some of the trickery he displayed was the only interesting point in the half.
