I didn't

I've just about got Africa sorted, mostly. I know all of Europe (now) South America and North America. And Asia. Just Oceania left

Drogba only on the bench for Ivory Coast, Bony starts up front. Kagawa and Honda both start for Japan

Ivory Coast team looks good and they've got a decent group. Will this be the first time they make it to the round of 16 stage?

Think so.

They've had nightmare groups in the past, get a win here and that sets them up nicely in the group.

If I thought I was sloshed before the England game, christ knows that I am now.

The only one left from my group standing for game 4

Japan's national anthem sounds like something from Miss Saigon.

This is probably their best chance to.

Ivory Coast my outside bet for a semi final place. Really need a win here for bank balance purposes.

I'm watching this on my own also, probably a lot are

Japan's anthem sounds like something from a Samurai film.

Me too...

Only because I'll be willing Japan to do well here though against a dangerous side

Ah, my adopted team for 2014. Let's see Endo and Honda turn on the silky football.

(Edit - They've dropped Endo and Ivory Coast have dropped Drogba! I never expected that.)

Think Ivory Coast will win, but wouldn't begrudge japan, hope Kagawa does well.

We only hae one player who will start

That's not counting de Guzman, who is back with Villareal now though I still class him as one of ours

Packing up my uni room with this on, have very much left it until the last minute.

I like the Japanese anthem, it sounds quite majestic.

ITV have pushed the boat out with their coverage here, just one commentator.

Are Swansea looking to sign de Guzman, or was he just on loan with no option to buy?

And it's not even theirs, it's from the World Feed.

Be grateful, imagine trying to stave off the sleep with Clarke Carlisle droning on!

I don't know if it says something but I didn't even notice.

Now it's been pointed out though it's gonna be annoying. Bastards.
