Both England and Italy can go through with a draw but would be dependent on the other result in each group.
England's is made a bit more complicated by the fact that we would need to better USA's draw by 3 goals so if USA - Algeria game finishes 1-1, England would require a 4-4 to go through which I can't see happening.

I'm interested to see how Sven sets them up.

Traditionally Ivory Coast have been an attacking side, with lots of power and pace, but if they play like that Brazil will fancy their chances of soaking it up, and picking them off, which is how they are set-up to play nowadays.

Great scenes from the French, well they got one thing right, a lot of people are laughing at them.

The football could be hard viewing after the game this afternoon.
Fancy Brazil to win with Drogba getting on the scoresheet. Unfortunately I can see Brazil being even more cautious than they were against North Korea. Really hope Ivory Coast attack, as opposed to what they served up against Portugal.

You're right......but the fact that it's highly improbable is probably why I slipped into that mistake.

It's very noticable how the tugging and pulling in the penalty area has returned. It's a disgrace.

According to Lawro ... it's just like watching Barnsley ... then look what happens.

The goal....another example of 'don't think.....lash it'.
I'm all for it.

Fantastic goal from Fabiano there.

Oh, but, maybe handball?
