TEAM NEWS

Ivory Coast captain Didier Drogba will return to the starting line-up following his return from an arm injury and will take the place of Aruna Dindane. Drogba came off the bench against Portugal just 11 days after breaking a bone in his arm.

Brazil will name the same team that beat North Korea in their opening match. Goalkeeper Julio Cesar is set to win his 50th cap.

I'm excited to keep my eye on Gervinho for Ivory Coast. This lad has skill, and is still pretty young...

Quality match up this one. Hope Robinho scores 7 and we can ship him after this is all over.

I've been looking forward to this all day

Well fuck me, Gervinho dropped for Drogba instead of Dindane. Bummer.

Wow. Just wow.

It's the Fabiano show, what a fantastic goal.

Perfect concentration. What a goal.

Elano!!!!

3-0

Amazing play, they are looking lethal.

They had to say it didn't they, '......and Sven does nothing!'.

Come on, even 70% focus on the part of the defence could have prevented that goal. Good run by Elano though from the midfield.

That looked nasty!

noooo poor elano :(

Shame about Elano, looks more like the player we signed than the player we sold when he plays for Brasil.

Fuck Elano! He's burst my scorecast. Had Fabiano and 2-0, looking rosy until Elano stuck that away. Seriously though, bad tackle but he doesn't look as if he's broke the shin bone so hopefully he'll only miss the next game.

I had 3-0. So that's mine ruined too.

Kaka off for someone running into him; joke!

Well, this is a disappointing end.

Kaka didn't even move into Keita's path. Shocking sending off yet again.
