Drogba on bench, Bony starts. Plenty of PL players on show. Expecting a good game.

    Great goal from Honda. 1-0 to Japan

    This World Cup is so good !
  • AbsurdistanAbsurdistan
    IC should be winning this, so profligate in front of goal.
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    Gary Bloom doing a great job with the solo commentary.
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    Good to see Honda being describing as "driving" into the opposition box. #carbasedbantz

    Can't agree, Honda is the standout player in this game and the only one who's making anything happen on either side

    Drogba on.

    ...and almost creates a goal with his first run at the defence.

    Why didn't they start with him, was he injured ?
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    Don't think he was injured, no. Was a confusing selection IMO.

    1-1, Bony header. Peach of a cross.

    IC have looked a different team since Drog came on
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    Gervinho makes it 2-1. What a turnaround. WOW
  • IAIA
    2-1 to Cote d'Ivoire

    Another good cross from Aurier
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    Poor goalkeeping from the Standard 'keeper.
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    Aurier looks class. Not as good as Solly though.

    FIFA mandate that they can only be called Cote D'Ivoire - why?? Why not call other countries by their native language name..

    I thought it was just the commentator being an idiot, didn't realise it was FIFA mandated.

    Does anyone else watch Italian football and think the commentators pretence that Gervinho has been good this year is laughable ?

    FT 2-1 to Ivory Coast.

    That's the fourth victory from behind in this World Cup so far (with only 8 games played). No draws so far either.

    Brazil 0-1 Croatia -> Brazil 3-1 Croatia
    Mexico 1-0 Cameroon
    Spain 1-0 Netherlands -> Spain 1-5 Netherlands
    Chile 3-1 Australia
    Colombia 3-0 Greece
    Uruguay 1-0 Costa Rica -> Uruguay 1-3 Costa Rica
    England 1-2 Italy
    Ivory Coast 0-1 Japan -> Ivory Coast 2-1 Japan

    Following the pattern, the next come-from-behind win will come in the Argentina-Bosnia match tomorrow night.

    Yes, watched quite a bit of Roma, has been quality.
    Not half as laughable as your comments about Japan bossing this game.

    Cote d'Ivoire is the country's name in all languages.

    No one complains when commentators do the same for Costa Rica.

    Well isn't hindsight a wonderful thing !

    Gervinho was good pre-Arsenal as well. Maybe it just didn't work out for him there.
