** Official match thread - Spain vs Tahiti - BBC Three - 19:30 **

How long do we reckon it will be before Spain score? I think at least 5 minutes.

Going for a scoreless first dozen then hell will break loose.

Spain should be ashamed of themselves if they don't hit at least 10 tbh.. Nigeria could have easily of scored double figures but because they're a selfish bunch of dickheads they ended up with 6, plus a goal conceded.

 

[Simster]

Tahiti are higher ranked than Andorra, and FAR higher than San Marino.

I don't think it'll reach double figures.

Tahiti has a population six times bigger than San Marino, so they ought to be higher. Still, I'll stick with 9-0.

If United sign him as is rumoured, £18m could very quickly look like an absolute steal

Yep, ludicrous incompetence from Barca. But they keep insisting he must be patient and wait for his chance.

 

[Frutos]

Which makes it all the more ridiculous that despite having La Liga wrapped up yonks ago, Barca didn't think it was a good idea to play him a bit more (well just one more game was needed actually) to mean his buyout clause stayed at 90m Euros instead of the now peanuts 18m.

Exactly this.

I am a Barca fan but on this one they have not so much shot themselves in the foot as blown the leg off at the knee.

Tahiti has a population six times bigger than San Marino, so they ought to be higher. Still, I'll stick with 9-0.

But San Marino surely have more money don't they, and an oraganised footballing system?

Tahiti and islands alike sometimes can't even afford kits, and train in bare foot.

Tahiti to score first, would love it!

Go on "Psycho", just tap it:

[Silent Bob]

the world record is 31-0, I'm just saying.

 

[Shoreham Gull]

This is difference between Spain and England...

They go school and play football, they finish school and play football in there local stadiums.. Football mad country!

 

[Dancing Sock]

Not long now! C'mon you the mighty titties.

 

[Frutos]

Pepe Reina, Cesar Azpilicueta, Raul Albiol, Sergio Ramos, Natxo Monreal, Javi Martinez, Santi Cazorla, David Silva, Juan Mata, David Villa, Fernando Torres

Could be a long night for Tahiti, and one hell of a backache for their keeper.

 

[shaolinpunk]

If they rested everyone who started against Uruguay, they could put out this team tonight:

Valdes
Azpilicueta - Albiol - Martinez - Monreal
Garcia - Alonso
Silva - Cazorla - Mata
Torres​

...and still bring on David Villa and Jesus Navas

Not far off - Reina instead of Valdes and Villa instead of Alonso with Ramos as the only player from the previous game instead of Garcia coming in

 

[7:18]

Here's an odd fact for you. The referee of Australia vs American Samoa was from... Tahiti!

really like this, its like the circle of life!

 

[7:18]

wow, handing them jewellery and a banner, great gifts from Tahiti...this is what respect in football (sport) should be all about...come on TAHITI!!!!!

Correct score is a lottery. Even 10-0 is only 10/1. Vie gone for 'over 8.5 goals' @ 10/11.

 

[Shoreham Gull]

the world record is 31-0, I'm just saying.

Record also most goals scored by one player: Archie scored 13 goals in that game

 

[Frutos]

4 mins, 1-0

 

[Dancing Sock]

It took them FOUR minutes to score? Disgraceful, they should be 3 up by now.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Dreadful keeping!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I address you tonight, not as Barrel of Fun, but a citizen of humanity. Tahiti is faced by the gravest challenge known to man - The Bible calls it Armageddon.

The dreams of their little island rest on those 11 brave souls, traveling in to the heavens. And may we all, citizens of Planet Earth, offer our support and prayers. Good luck and godspeed to our island cousins.
