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.
Maicon and Elano scored second-half goals as Brazil eventually engineered a breakthrough against North Korea’s staunch defense to win its opening World Cup match 2-1.
The Samba Kings escaped with a hard-fought victory after struggling to get past the defensive setup of the North Koreans, who are the tournament’s lowest-ranked team.
Ji Yun Nam made things interesting for North Korea in the 89th with a left-footer from inside the area, for the sides best scoring opportunity of the match.
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.
With a strong defense, a single goal could be a win for them, so they need to dig a bit deeper and find a way to score.
With or without Drogba.
This is a game where there is a clear favorite, but the opposition is strong enough that an upset could be very possible.

I still expect Brazil to win this, particularly if Drogba is absent. My prediction is 2-1 Brazil

Not sticking up for Matt because he did get the pick wrong…but it is a “Prediction” after all… WE hope you enjoyed the preview none the less, good luck w/ your bets
2-1 Brazil is a decent prediction mate, considering the match ended 3-1.
