Not eligible to play

"We played very well in every sense and my lads gave it everything. There were some great performances out there. We've still got one more match to play and let's see if we can stay comfortable on the ball. If we can keep doing that, it'll make things easier, although the Netherlands will be tough opponents for sure," Vincente del Bosque, Spain coach.
