Spain setting aside World Cup to focus on Nations League

Spain is focusing on the Nations League and not the World Cup. The team lost the final to France last year. Julen Lopetegui was fired before the opening game of the tournament. Spain has a one-point lead in the group. It plays Switzerland on Saturday and at Portugal on Tuesday. Only the winner of that match will advance. Spain was eliminated by host Russia in 2018 World cup. La Roja's coach uses a technology to communicate with his players.
