  "summary": "Croatia captain Luka Modric is hoping for fan support against Spain in the Nations League. This comes after a 7-0 loss to England, which Modric described as a \"shame\".\n\nThe Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called a snap election. According to BBC World, this decision was not made hastily but was a well-planned move.\n\nSánchez's decision to call the election came after his government's defeat in parliament over measures aimed at addressing soaring rentals. His left-wing coalition no longer commands a majority.",
