Spain with zero shots on target against a team of plumbers and fishermen. Disgrace.

Riley Scott2026-06-15T18:49:39.000Z

Verde shouldn't even be there according to some. But that's their problem, not ours.

Mia Carter2026-06-15T18:10:39.000Z

Yeah nah Spain got what they deserved. Underestimate the minnows and this is what happens.

Zoe King2026-06-15T18:29:39.000Z

cope. They played well. Spain just shit the bed again.

Riley Scott2026-06-15T18:22:39.000Z

Lamine Yamal sitting on the bench while Spain can't score. Gotta be joking

Mia Carter2026-06-15T19:11:39.000Z

Yamal is overrated. Barca hype machine at work.

Cape Verde showed more heart in 90 mins than Spain has in 3 tournaments. Love it.

passion vs money ball. Classic upset in the making.

Casey Adams2026-06-15T19:03:39.000Z

Toothless? More like toothless gums. Spain are absolute frauds.

Peyton Hall2026-06-15T19:11:39.000Z

Good on Cape Verde, making their debut proud. Spain might still go through but this is a wake up call

Eva Anderson2026-06-15T19:25:39.000Z

How do you have all that possession and create nothing? Tactical nightmare from the manager
