We made them suffer and kept them from threatening."Germany coach Joachim Low called the defeat a "black day.""Nothing worked, neither in defence nor attack," he said. "We left huge spaces, there was a lack of communication between the players. We were second best in every department. It was a black day, there is no way of dressing this up."Spain now join France in the Nations League's final four, alongside two of Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Poland, and the Netherlands.Read more:<a href="https://www.insider.com/video-gladbachs-valentino-lazaro-scores-puskas-worthy-scorpion-kick-2020-11">An Austrian soccer player scored an incredible, award-worthy scorpion kick goal that left the opposition motionless and his teammates in awe</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/best-young-footballers-in-the-world-2020-golden-boy-award-2020-11">These are the 20 best soccer players in the world under the age of 21</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/hashtag-united-semi-pro-youtube-football-team-with-500000-fans-2020-11">Meet Hashtag United, the English semi-pro soccer team supported by 500,000 people on YouTube and part-owned by a Chelsea FC star</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/jude-bellingham-had-to-finish-homework-before-england-debut-2020-11">A soccer wunderkind who just debuted for England is so young he had to finish his school homework before he was allowed to play</a>
