Ivory Coast

None of the african teams will do well in the World Cup, they all have a lack of good players in the squad. A few stars can't do it all on their own.

If some counties of Africa had the same conditions of Europe for example, would be diferent. Just a few have the chance to play in big teams and get good payroll as they deserve wich i belive is a miracle for them. Anyways i whish them good luck even if tey gonna play against my team Portugal. The best should win.

Ivory coast has exellent players, as Uruguay. Please dont mix politics or the color of the jerseys with a beautifull sport.

I think Ivory Coasts jersey soooooo cool

Barrios + Lewandowski = BVB attacking force next season

cool team not cool strip.

civ need to defend better, the first game civ play is aganst portugal and the portuguese squad has an amazing defence and create amazing chances the only thing portugal lack is their finishing rather then that the are a very solid team

Ivory cost ,That is the weirdest and ugliest uniform that I have ever seen seriously they can not wear that ugly think in the world cup.

two things for Ivory coast, first they definatly need a new goal keeper & second that uniform is plain ugly they can not wear that in the world cupp

wtf kind of uniforms are those? ugly

timbo THEN ASK YOUR IVORIAN FOOTBALLERS IN ENGLAND TO COME HOME AND START A NEW LEAGUE THERE. YOU JUST TALK S.H.I.T MAN.. A VICTORY IS A VICTORY, NO MATTER WHERE THE GOALS COME FROM. AND WHY ARE THOSE IVORIAN PLAY FOR ENGLAND'S CLUB? DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE COMMENTING YOU ~PUSSY~

cote need to back up

@ vPersie: Eboue is not camerounian. He is ivorian.And by the way, cot'de-ivoire is far better than England that couldn't even convert a penalty kick and had to rely on two own goals to claim "victory" lol!! serious footballers don't do tattoos and all that rubbish English illiterate footballers do. prepare to receive the three lions immediately after the group stage. and lest i forget...they should go with their WAGS.

@Elliot : Eboue is on Cameroon CIV will have to defend to do anything at WC2010

CIV really needs a good defense!!I can't understand how the deense is so weak cuz the have great defenders like Kolo TOure, Eboue. CIV needs to fix this problem cuz C Ronaldo or Brazilian won't hesitate a second.

If Ivory Coast is to have an impact at the WC,then they have to learn how to defend. If they can defend then on a good day they can destroy anyone with DD in hot form.
