Uruguay starting lineup v Nigeria : Muslera, Godin, Lugano, Caceres, Maxi Pereira, Gonzalez, Arevalo Rios, Rodriguez, Forlan, Suarez, Cavani Ramirez on the bench
Fantastic scenes at the end there, I enjoyed that. Rightly so, standing ovation from the fans in the stadium for the Tahiti players. Plenty of respect from the Spanish players as they shook hands with every player. I'm sure they will be hanging onto the shirts for a while! Loved the keeper getting emotional and getting a big hug from Reina. Feel good stuff.
A lot of respect for the positivity from Tahiti, they really went for it and in reality defensively shot themselves in the foot, but their spirit was fantastic. I was expecting them to be embarrassing but although they were a bit shambolic in defence they did play some tidy stuff at times, thoroughly impressed.
Whoscored.com predicted 6-0 (I know it was 6-1) to Nigeria and 10-0 to Spain against Tahiti. Good predictions. I missed the second half as I had to go out. Was hoping they'd keep it under 10
Mark Lawrenson: "He looks like a player short of confidence, how many goals has he got this season?" Jonathan Pearce: "33"
