Now that we're done with the absurd beatdown that was Spain versus Tahiti (you'll never guess which side won 10-0!) it's time for real football to return with Uruguay versus Nigeria. If Uruguay want to advance out of the group stages, they'll have to at least draw against this January's Africa Cup of Nations winners, but they have the personnel to exploit the Super Eagle's shaky defence.
Uruguay vs. Nigeria: Lineups
Edinson Cavani, Luis Suarez and Diego Forlan all get the start, while Nigeria are having to do without some of their biggest names. This doesn't look like it'll be that difficult for Uruguay to handle, in all honesty -- just get the ball to their forwards and they should be in luck against a young Super Eagles defensive pairing.
Uruguay starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Fernando Muslera; Martin Cacares, Diego Godin, Diego Lugano, Maxi Pereira;Egidio Arevalo, Alvaro Gonzalez; Cristian Rodriguez;, Diego Forlan, Luis Suarez; Edinson Cavani.
Nigeria starting lineup (4-3-3): Vincent Enyeama; Elderson, Godfrey Oboabona, Kenneth Omeruo, Efe Ambrose; John Ogu, John Obi Mikel, Fegor Ogude; Nnamdi Oduamadi, Brown Ideye, Ahmed Musa.
