Okay, so this hasn't been special. I am becoming resigned to waiting for the next round to see some exciting games. Watching Germany beat up another team might be quite good to watch though, and hopefully Brazil can weave some magic this evening

the diving world cup is almost over here, so far Ivory Coast have the edge, but the man of the match has to be Ronaldo who just edges out Drogba 9 dives to 7.

Ivory Coast on fire now

another awful game, Ivory Coast and Portugal are both riddicously overrated based on this.

Decent end, but still a dissapointment overall unfortunately

no-one deserved to win that, why people seem to love Ivory Coast is beyond me, they are just as bad as Portugal, only one decent player and a team full of simulators.

Scolari was the main reason Portugal did so well at major tournaments. Now he's gone.

ha, Quieroz is a good number two, but he can't handle the top job, Sven is just a bad joke that you wish people would stop telling.

Portugal played like ass. But Ivory's Coast defensive scared-ass defense can go and throw itself under a bridge.

And I still would like to know why that goal was overruled. I've seen 10 different replays from it from 4 different channels, both national and international, and there was nothing there. No offside, no foul, no frigging thing.

Ivory Coast was slightly better overall IMO, but not enough to justify a victory.

Very mediocre game. Except for his shot in the 10th minute Ronaldo was very weak.
