I don't know if you saw the entire, match, I did. Yes, overall Spain was abit unlucky. Or atleast more unlucky then Swiss was.

I think this is very vain. Measuring which side was "more or less unlucky" is a discussion of preference.

in the end, the team with most goals wins.

And not the one that wastes more opportunities to score.

Yes, football is a contact sport. Some of the errors on Iniesta, however, were done with ill intention.

This is why the referee is on the pitch. A lot of players sometimes at least seem to do things out of ill intention (follow Franck Ribery for a prime example).

Lobbing or passing as it wasn't clear if it was either a very poor lob or a very poor pass

This characterizes a lot of it. David Villa's finishing was quite poor overall. His free kick landed straight at the opposing players. Fernando Torres had some chances (eg. the one where he seemed to be setting off only to put the ball out of the pitch with a poor touch to it). More than a Xabi Alonso shot hitting the crossbar, I think Spain's finishing was characterized by lack of quality in and out. Torres, Piquet, David Villa. All had some very good spots to put the ball into the net. Unlucky? No. Poor finishing? Yes. Poor play? Yes.
