Spain can score 20 Goals, but we win if we get 1 - Tahiti Coach

Tahiti coach Eddy Etaeta said it would be "quite impossible" for his team to beat world champions Spain tonight but even if Spain scored 20 goals, he would be happy if Tahiti grabbed one.

Etaeta said: "We must be highly realistic and it is impossible for us to beat Spain, quite impossible. They are the European and the world champions and the favourites to win this Confederations Cup tournament.

"But even if they score 15 or 20 goals, I would be happy if we scored one."

The match at Rio's famous Maracana Stadium is one of the more surreal contests in the tournament but could be overshadowed by a massive protest planned by Brazilians who have been staging demonstrations around the country over a host of grievances.

A victory for Tahiti, ranked 138th in the world, would stand as the biggest upset in the history of international soccer.

Etaeta said that even if Spanish coach Vicente Del Bosque were to field a mostly second-string team, it would still probably involve players like Fernando Torres and David Villa.

"Spain have won two European titles and the World Cup and the players on the bench are all stars. Spain is the top football nation and Uruguay only managed 28 per cent possession against them on Sunday, and I would be happy with that.

"But whatever happens, I do not want to play defensively and sit back and stay in our own half. When we get the ball I want us to go forwards and look for a goal."
