We are not ashamed - Tahiti Coach (Beaten but not broken)

Bashed, bruised and white-washed on the field of play, yet Tahiti Coach Eddy Etaeta is proud of his team and the tremendous support they have received from football fans in Brazil.

The Oceania Champions were hit 6-1 by Nigeria and 10-0 by Spain with another bashing imminent against Uruguay in the last fixture.

Etaeta told fifa.com that ''we knew we were going to be playing in a top-class international tournament, and even though we’ve come away with a defeat, we’re looking on the Spain game as a victory.''

''What’s happened to us in Brazil has come as a huge surprise because we’ve had tremendous support from the fans despite being heavily beaten. We’ve won the hearts of the people. Obrigado everyone.''

What a spirit. Fair play it's called.
