    Lots of nerves here. Drogba and Cote d'Ivoire is the great African hope.

    big mistake , Baptista not playing . Robinho and Luis Fabiano are just too weak and you need a strong attacker against Cote d'Ivore .

    this is a big game I'm really relishing this. In fact, I would say the onus is on Brazil to win this one. If they draw and Portugal beat N.Korea by more than a goal then Brazil could be in real trouble here. Ivory Coast in an unfamiliar green/white kit....

    The vuvuzelas have indeed grown more organized.

    Dunga always wears cool clothes.

    Ivory Coast looks nervous with their touches.

    Interested to see how physical play will be involving Drogba with that arm.

    By the time this World Cup is over, they're going to be playing Beethoven with those things.

    Brazil has never lost a game to an African side in the World Cup.

    Speaking of which, I hear the banging of those huge drums heard in Brazil leagues (and at the capoeira beaches:p).

    I'm amazed that Gervinho isn't starting. He has to be one of their 3 best players...wild.

    Pretty evenly matched so far.

    Brazil needs to find a way to get some ball possession.

    Lucio is prone to an occasional card or dicey challenge.

    Brasil having real problems trying to keep the ball. Kaka looks under a lot of pressure and not sure how to deal with it. They are on him immediately.
