I don't think we defended badly against Croatia. Obviously there were things we could have done better. We rewatched it looking for specifics. You mention letting in three goals, but one of them was our own error – nothing we can do to prevent that. One of their other goals was terrific – just like we did brilliantly in ours! That's football. The key lies in our specific, well-defined style of play. We've developed it and once we have begun to score goals, we simply have to follow that line of performance.

They'll be a difficult for us, they may not have many big-name players known to fans but as a block they are one of the best at the tournament.

Bounceability or resilience, whatever the word, the Swiss and Spaniards have pounds of it. Little more than a fortnight ago, Switzerland were ripped apart by a galloping Italy and were on the way out. A few days later, Spain were under the cosh, held by Lewandowski's Poland having earlier drawn against Sweden. "Tikitaka, so predictable", was the unanimous verdict.

The teams met twice in the Nations League last year, Spain winning 1-0 in Madrid but only scraping a 1-1 draw in the away game.
