I say ‘pre-tournament’ as La Roja lost that title with the surprise shutout against Cape Verde on Monday in a game they dominated but the lack of clear-cut chances would be of concern for their backers.

Luis de la Fuente (right) had to turn to some of his half-fit stars in the second half, which he wouldn't have wanted, but couldn't break the deadlock.
