Ivory Coast 0-0 Portugal (Gp G) 3.00pm

Really looking forward to this one.

Ivory Coast's team looks really quite strong. Obviously if Drogba can't play it'll be a blow for them though.

I would imagine Portugal are still favourites but an upset wouldn't actually surprise me too much.

Apparently Drogba's been given the green light , should be a good match this , can't wait for it .

1-1 in this. Two strong sides.

I predicted Portugal 2-1 Ivory Coast but I wouldn't be too surprised if it was a draw or even a win for the africans. Gonna be interesting cause its potentially a group decider already.

Drogba on the bench, it's official.


Portugal: Eduardo; P. Ferreira, B. Alves, R. Carvalho, F. Coentrão; P. Mendes, R. Meireles, Deco; C. Ronaldo, Liedson, Danny.

Ivory Coast: Barry; Demel, Eboué, Kolo Touré, Tiené; Yaya Touré, Zokora, Tioté; Kalou, Dindane, Gervinho.

This should be a cracking game.

Oh how many times i've said that

Probably be 0-0.

I hope for a high scoring game which is something thus far the World Cup has really lacked. I am looking at a Portugal win 3-2

I predicted Ivory Coast to win 1-0.

I'll be waiting to have a good laugh at that arrogant look on Ronnie's face.

This is going to be a close one.

It's a Group G match btw

This is going to be a close one.

Hopefully with a lot of goals.

I think i've said its going to be a good game for every game so far and how i've been wrong.

The Portugese keeper is well up for this!!

CR9 deep in thought in the anthem.
Interesting how he will shine at this WC

Simao left out, shocking.

Just back from injury.

Come on 1-1!!

Simao left out, shocking.

Think he was an injury doubt before the game though.

Didn't know that.

I reckon 2-1. Don't know who's winning this though.

All the Africian shirts are very tight fitting.

Is that dindane who played for pompey earlier this season?
If so he is pretty good.

Looks like Zokora is playing CB and Yaya Toure CDM.

Personally I'd probably have it the other way round.
