145;We deserved to lose146;

Spain deserved to lose against neighbours Portugal who provided all the passion in the 1-0 win that took the hosts into the Euro 2004 quarter-finals, Spanish players and coach Inaki Saez said on Sunday. 8216;8216;We worked very hard in the first half but they provided all the passion. The goal came from a half-chance at a time when we least expected it and we had to go for the game after that. Goalkeeper Iker Casillas said: 8216;8216;The truth is Portugal were all over us. It was our worst game in Euro 2004 and we just didn8217;t give what we had to give.

8216;8216;If we8217;re going home it8217;s because we deserve to and that8217;s uncomfortable for all of us. We can8217;t complain about this result.8217;8217; Reuters
