Colombia vs Ivory Coast - BBC One 5pm KO
Howard Webb is the referee for this one. Drogba is expected to start on the bench once again.
It might be a quite even game on the whole, but I'll plump for a small win for Colombia. They have a few decent players in the side. Enjoy the match! |

In theory Columbia should win.
But in the world cup so far several teams have performed at a level much higher than their FIFA world ranking would indicate. And for many years there is almost always an African team who do really well and progress to the latter stages. |

Bacca is injured. Poor Columbia have lost Falcao and Bacca. Have to rely on Martinez.
Ivory Coast are really holding the flag for Africa now. |

James Rodriguez impressed in the first game, I think Columbia will win but it'll be a close game, both these countries should progress to the next round.

The introduction of Drogba lifted Ivory Coast against Japan, Colombia will he happy that he doesn't start, will probably play some part though.

Looking forward to this match. Was reasonably impressed with Colombia in their first game but not so much with Ivory Coast. |

I was very impressed with Colombia in their first game, and expect them to win this.

I hope Ivory Coast put in a good performance, just because the rest of the African nations look so poor they are the only hope for the continent to have a decent run.

I agree. A lot of refs are allowing to coin to fall to the ground, refreshing to see Webb use the 'back of the hand' method.
