Spain vrs Sweden

Half time and total domination from Spain but no goals. This reminds me of the first half between Italy and Turkey. Italy won 3-0 in the second half. Teams get exhausted when they have to chase the ball so much.

Sometimes Spain seems to think you get bonus points for the number of passes you have.

Does it count as one goal for every 500 passes?

@Burnley123 same old Spain possession football reminds me of arsenal trying to walk the ball in the goal

@Nyloncapes Spain doesn't even seem to be trying to walk it into the goal, just walk it everywhere else. Are they even trying to score?

I remember when they lost to Russia in the World Cup. I almost fell asleep watching. 120 mins of boring Spanish passing against boring Russian defending.
