We were actually unlucky against Spain. Missed penalty and dominated extra-time. I think some Trappistas find it hard to believe that we are even capable of competing against anyone above the level of Armenia and Estonia without erecting barricades and throwing bodies in the way of enemey fire. Some anthropologist / cultural historian might surmise that our faith in Trapp has something to do with the collapse of national self-belief and the demise of the Celtic Tiger etc....It certainly cannot be explained in footballing terms.
