This one is impossible to call until I've seen them play.
Japan is a decent team with an Italian coach. Wouldn't discount them that easily. Ivory Coast could easily go the way African teams tend to do. Out.

I wouldn't be surprised if this group ends up with 3 teams on 6 points and Greece on 0
I'm guessing GD, but only because of what's being said about Spain
Guarin must be injured.
Why are there 4 matches being played tomorrow(Sunday/June15th) ? I don't remember any WC ever having 4 matches in the same day except for the last group matches where matches are played at the same time. Even more strange is the fact Ivory Coast-Japan match is coming at an odd time, which is 10pm Brazil time. This is the only match being played at a 10pm local time in this WC. I suspect this is to accommodate the prime time TV slot in Japan. The conspiracy theorists will claim that's why the Japanese ref "helped" Brazil against Croatia.:lol:
The problem is it will be difficult to follow or watch 4 matches with only 1 hour gap in between. It is a really terrible situation in Asia as all the 4 matches are played at 12am, 3am, 6am and 9am. It could be a Sunday but staying awake to watch all those matches are going to be a very difficult task.
Really wish they will only have 2 matches per day with a longer duration of the WC.
Colombia lead already!!
I love this WC
Officials' mistakes apart, is shaping up to be a classic. 3.75 goals per game so far!
