the Ivory Coast might well be the strongest african team in the tournament (Keita, the Touré brothers and of course Drogba), but sadly they got stuck in a group with Portugal and Brazil.
about Portugal: we have clearly improved since qualification, but we still lack firepower in attack and we keep misusing our midfield - Meireles, Tiago, Simão and Pedro Mendes, as well as Danny and Ronaldo the good forwards, are all very good shooters and like charging into the box to deliver the killing strike, but we only really used this approach vs North Korea.
