[LoyalRoyalFan]

Kick off at 7:30pm

Live on BBC1

Stadium - Soccer City, Johannesburg

[Baines]

Hoping for good things from Côte d'Ivoire against Dunga's attempt to recreate the tedium of the 94 Brazilian team.

[leww_rfc]

3-1 Brazil me thinks.

[rg6royal]

Going for a 1-1 draw.

[Arch]

Come on the Ivorians!

[Wizard]

3-1 Brazil for me too. South American teams are awesome this tournament and Brazil are probably the best of the lot to be fair.

[Row Z Royal]

0-1

[Ian Royal]

3-1 to Brazil. Ivory Coast won't park the bus, so Brazil will have more space to attack.

[AthleticoSpizz]

the big teams being "slow starters" and Brazil being less imposing (and just like watching Man City) its got 1-1 written all over it



deliberate edit

[AbovetheI]

Potential banana skin here for Brasil. So i'm gonna push the boat out and say 2-0 Ivory Coast

Have all the 'big' teams just forgotten exactly what is involved in playing football (effort, teamwork, passion)????

Brasil looking dull again

[John Madejski's Wallet]

.......what is it with keepers and near post goals this tourney??

[Kitsondinho]

Brilliantly worked goal!!

[Row Z Royal]

Not been on since the goal, so FOWLER!

[Ian Royal]

Well that's individual goal of the tournament. Absolutely superb goal.

[Kitsondinho]

What a finish.......maybe handball?

[AthleticoSpizz]

What a finish.......maybe handball?

a touch of the old Henry's there

BOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Ian Royal]

Does off the bicep/deltoid count as handball? Hard to see for the ref or lino.

[Kitsondinho]

Wasn't as blatant as Henry, looked like his shoulder/ upper arm......still handball mind!

[AthleticoSpizz]

more handball than Harry Kewells was yesterday......different end of the pitch mind
