Lol Nigeria. So selfish. Twice they've had 2v1's versus the keeper and both times the attacker declined to pass for a simple tap , instead opting to try and dribble the keeper...twice those attackers failed.

They've actually been pretty lucky Nigera. One goal took a deflection and before that it hit the referee and went to the Nigeria player who took the shot and the third was a goal keeping error.

Number 13 for Tahiti Chong Hue is a pretty decent player, they aren't afraid to go forward Tahiti, but gee wiz it's going to be nasty when Spain play Tahiti but who knows Spain could just pass the ball around for 90 minutes and not score.

What a great match so far in the u21 Final. Anyone else watching?

I am. Thiago is awesome. Barca should be doing everything possible to convince him to stay.

Would hate to see him go to United, but De Gea's probably already convinced him.

We'll see City line up with Yaya & Fernandinho and United could line up with Carrick & Thiago in central midfield.

This is our biggest problem area and I'd hate to see us get annihilated there again like we did even against poor sides last season.

Sorry folks, Portuguese article

http://www.espn.com.br/noticia/337156_espanhois-pregam-respeito-ao-taiti-mas-del-bosque-da-pistas-em-treino-e-deve-escalar-reservas

But based on the practice that ended a few minutes, Azpilicueta, Torres and Mata are starting against Tahiti on Thursday.

This is the 'titular' team that trained tonight: Valdés; Azpilicueta, Sergio Ramos, Albiol e Monreal; Javi Martínez, Cazorla, David Silva e Mata; Torres e David Villa

How did Tahiti win the Oceania cup? did Aus and NZ not enter? sorry for my ignorance about football over the world. I need to start getting back in to football outside Chelsea properly again. I miss having an eagerness to watch any and every game :(

Well Australia isn't in Oceania any more they are in the Asia (AFC) and somehow Tahiti beat New Zealand.

Yup, was a massive upset! Even though Tahiti is gonna get demolished, it doesn't affect Oceanias place in the Confederations Cup.

We rolled them 3-0 in the WCQ though. So we are representing Oceania in the WC (We first have to vs the fourth place team from CONCACAF (Americas), at this stage its Honduras).

I must remind everybody that NZ was the only unbeaten team in 2010 world cup =]
