Group G

[Besnik]

1. Brasil
2. North Korea
3. Ivory Coast
4. Portugal

My predictions for Brasil and Ivory Coast to go through.

 

[Interista Gallese]

Brazil and Ivory Coast

 

[Bes]

My favourite group. Brazil has to go on... FORZZA!!!

My prediction: Brazil & Portugal. Don't think Ivory Coast will do any problems for Portugal.

 

[lonewolf19]

Brazil, Ivory Coast

 

[Suneet]

Portugal and Ivory Coast will be a game to watch. I dont think Ivory Coast can stop Ronaldo and co.

Cant wait for Brazil-Portugal too. Robinho, Ronaldo, Kaka on the same field.

Will it be winter in SA then, Stefano? How cold?

 

[sergiu.inter]

Brazil & Portugal.They're better than Ivory coast.

Yeah it will be winter. Not cold by european standards, mild. Max temperature at Nelspruit and durban is 23 and minium is -2 degrees at bloemfontein. These are the extremes, generally about 16-20 degrees. Cape Town gets winter rain but the rest of the venues should be rain free.

This world cup won't be like others outside of europe where the south american teams have had a big advantage because of the weather.

Ivory Coast physical football will kill the primadonnas alibi-football.

So Brazil and Drogba-team through.

 

[Choppin Onions]

Lol poor North Korea.

 

[The777]

Brazil and Ivory Coast. Drogba and co. are the dark horses for this world cup.

Guus Hiddink is going to be unveiled as the new manager of Cote D'Ivoire for the World Cup. He is joining Turkey in time for the Euro 2012 Qualification but is expected to be managing at another World Cup before he takes up his post in Turkey.

Not good for christina and co. With guus in charge I fancy the elephants to get out of that group.

LOL this guy is nuts. He bounces around from NT to NT like its nothing!

 

[rsz85]

They need a coach like Hiddink who cares a lot about discipline and the organizing of the team's gameplay.

LOL this guy is nuts. He bounces around from NT to NT like its nothing!

Teams respect him so much , he is an awesome NT coach : look at what he did with South Korea , Australia , Russia , he cleary over-achieved with every team . Ivory Coast is more talented than any of these teams so both Brazil and Portugal should watch out because it won't be a walk in the park for sure.

 

[Eli Ja]

Portugal and Brazil will qualify.
Portugal have quality players, like C. Ronaldo, Nani, Simao, and Miguel.
The only player on Ivory Coast that can make a diferrence is Drogba.
So WTF's with the Ivory Coast qualifying? xD

 

[jamsieboy86]

It was rumoured to be Hiddink, but Cote d'Ivoire have appointed Sven-Goran Eriksson as their manager for the World Cup.

You don't watch ivory coast often at all it seems. They are a very good side. If portugal are as fantastic as you think they would not have struggled to qualify as they did.

Sven will hopefully do a good job, the squad certainly has the talent to get to the second round and beyond if the discipline is right.

 

[mikec]

Portugal and Brasil are going to pass, Portugal in first and Brasil in second, Portugal will go at least Quarter Finals.

Pretty confident in a team that barely qualified!
