Below are some of the Spain coaches comments after being defeated by Japan yesterday.

Luis Milla was reeling from the performance by Spain after Thursday’s defeat by Japan at the 2012 Olympics, and now believes that their remaining Group D games against Honduras and Morocco must be treated as finals.

La Roja face an uphill battle to make the knockout stages after falling to Yuki Otsu’s winner at Hampden Park, as a 2-2 draw between the other sides in the group confined Milla’s men to the foot of the table.

“They were not comfortable with the ball at all,” he said in an interview after the game. “We went on the attack without thinking about the defense.”

He knows that the next two games are pivotal for the Spanish if they want to get their tournament back on track.

“We have two finals against Honduras and Morocco. We need to go into the games with this mentality.”

Update: Saturday July 28th 2012:

Honduras vs Spain LIVE Updates. Honduras and Spain will face off at the 2012 Olympic Games on Sunday July 29th 2012 at 12:45PM St. James’ Park — Newcastle-upon-Tyne. This game has now become a pivotal road to advancing to the next phase in Group D as highly touted Spain badly needs a win and will be looking to take out their anger on the relatively unheralded Honduras, but they may well run into more resistance than they might expected as the Catrachos know how important this win can be.

If they accomplish nothing else at the London Olympic games, defeating Spain would  make therm heroes when they return home. In addition for Honduras should the Catrachos pull off an upset against Spain they would position themselves to advance to the next phase of the Olympics for the first time in Honduras Olympic History.

HONDURAS Mendoza Leveron, Velasquez, Lopez, Figueroa Peralta, Martinez Mejia, Espinoza, Najar Bengtson

Following his team’s shock 1-0 defeat by Japan on Thursday, Spain coach Luis Milla will make lots of changes for this crucial match against Honduras after his team’s performance in the loss to Japan.

Honduras coach Luis Suarez was satisfied with his team’s performance in its first match of the tournament, earning a 2-2 draw against a good Morocco delegation; so drastic changes are not expected with no new injury problems reported.

Against Morocco Suarez elected to swarm the midfield and play just the one striker, tactics that look certain to be chosen once again with Jerry Bengtson looking to build on his first game double.
