Ryan Giggs inspires Team GB

Inspired performance the captain!
Yesterday Team GB defeated the United Arab Emirates 3-1 at Wembley and ensured that progression to the quarter finals is only a draw away.

The captain Ryan Giggs headed in the opener and his Manchester United team mate Tom Cleverley hit the post as Team GB went into the half time break in the lead.

In the second half the UAE found an equalizer through Rashed Elisa after a composed finish from the midfielder.

Scott Sinclair then came on and scored almost instantly and a deft chip from Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge sealed the win for Great Britain.

Although the score line seems convincing it was far from comfortable for Stuart Pearce's team, and after the UAE equalized the occasional boo could be heard.
Though there was definitely a better mood in the stadium after GB went up 3-1 though there is room for improvement when they play Uruguay on Wednesday in Cardiff.

Though, Uruguay were stunned 2-0 by a 10 man Senegal yesterday at Wembley. Senegal now sit on level on four points with Great Britain and take on a UAE side that have lost both of their group games thus far. Uruguay sit on three points and a draw for Team GB would see them progress to the quarter finals.
