The Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg has said Spain is well on the way to winning the World Cup after its 5:1 routing by Holland in Brazil.
Mr Clegg told reporters it was “never easy” seeing “dedicated, hard-working” opponents score against them, but he insisted the Spanish were still succeeding where they “focused on their achievements.”
“Based on the results which have come in so far, it has obviously been a mixed result for Spain, but other teams have had mixed results too,” Mr Clegg said.
Although the Deputy Prime Minister conceded that Spain had suffered a minor setback at the hands of a Dutch surge, he added that the Spanish team was “doing well in the areas where they have good organisation on the ground.”
Mr Clegg added: “We will see what the further results today, what story they tell. But so far what I have seen is that where Spain can work really hard to tell their side of the story, they can win.”
He urged Spanish players to highlight the positive things their team had brought to the 5:1 defeat, such as their ability to run around aimlessly for 90 minutes without getting a stitch and managing not to burst into tears, at least in public.

Whereas Spain has won two major international football trophies in the last four years, the Lib Dems & the Conservatives haven’t won anything in over twenty.
Therefore its still perfectly obvious that if England crash out in the second or third match, it will all be Labours fault.
As they said in WW2 when the general’s hadn’t a clue, SNAFU

Unfortunately, this is pretty much how some politicians do spin their defeats. I remember when I was at school listening to a Tory talk about his result in a local election. From his bombastic bluster you could be forgiven for thinking he’d been successful. He hadn’t. He’d lost. Massively. The interviewer on Radio 4 politely pointed this out to him. There was a moment’s silence, and then the inevitable, ‘Yes, but …’ kind of comment. Clegg will be attempting a piece of spin pretty much like this to the rest of his party. Of course, as he’s married to a Spanish lady, he will have a certain bias towards that part of the world.
