Ivory Coast Vs Portugal

[SO16_Saint]

Am hoping that this game kicks off the WC propper.

 

reckon 3-1 to Ivory Coast

Expect Portugal will scrape it, although would love it (hello, Keegan) if they went out in the group stage.

this really is the group of death, as the 2nd place team play Germany i believe in the last 16

Second placed team in this group will probably play Spain.

 

Runner-up in England's group will play Germany in the last 16.

[Appy]

Very stop start game so far.

[explorer saint]

Another dire game, this probably one of the worst, now here's hoping Brazil do something entertaining!

Take out Germany vs Australia and it's 16 in 12...

Crap game, although Ivory Coast looked okay. If Drogba can get back to 100% fitness, they'll be dangerous.

I assume that none of you lot complaining about the standard of this match suffered the earlier match ? Slovakia v New Zealand looked like a poor League One side against a poor non-League side in places.

The difference being that nobody expected New Zealand v Slovakia to be any good.

 

Portugal and Ivory Coast have teams packed with very good players. New Zealand would struggle in League Two.
