Brazil vs Ivory Coast live FIFA World Cup 2010 at 20 June 2010

The “Group of Death” is back in action with one of the most anticipated games of the tournament’s group stage – Brazil versus the Ivory Coast.

The Samba Kings is the second favorites after Spain to win the overall tournament, whereas the Ivory Coast, with captain Didier Drogba back in the starting XI, is the favorite African team to hoist the hardware.

The two teams have never played each other before, and with both trying to get out of the toughest group on paper in the tournament, there is a lot riding on this game.


The victory gives Brazil first place in the group and they look to continue their dominance against Cote D’Ivore, putting some distance between them and second spot.
Two of the planet’s most dangerous strikers couldn’t produce a goal between them, as Portugal and the Ivory Coast played to a hard-fought 0-0 draw on Tuesday.

============================

Cristiano Ronaldo and Didier Drogba each were unable to strike the wining goal. Drogba came on as a 66th-minute substitute for fellow striker Salomon Kalou after FIFA cleared him to play with a special cast on his right arm, which he broke in a warm-up match against Japan.

While he didn’t have his best that day, it’s the kind of determination and heart that the team needs to show against some tough competition.
