MATCH THREAD - Colombia 2 vs Ivory Coast 1 - Group C - 5PM KO (UK Time) - Thursday 19th June

Vs

Colombia could name the same starting line-up which defeated Greece 3-0 in their opening game.

Midfielder Fredy Guarin is available after a ban but forward Carlos Bacca is missing because of a muscle problem.

Ivory Coast coach Sabri Lamouchi must decide whether to recall captain and record scorer Didier Drogba.

If he does, Lamouchi will either have to change system or drop striker Wilfried Bony, who scored in their 2-1 victory against Japan.

I want this to be a humdinger for control of the group but got a feeling it'll be a dullard.... with Chile doing the biz last night and Brazil & the Argies likely to go through maybe with Costa Rica and Mexico too, I'd really like to see at least one African side in the next round and IC look most likely... sneaky 1-0 for Ivory Coast, but I hope I'm wrong and its a classic with pyar goals to get us warmed up for Boxhead vs. Biter in the great kopite head worker.

Disappointed in myself to likely miss this. Playing five a side pre England game. Gah.

Looking forward to this, was very impressed by Colombia in their game against Greece. 3-1 Colombia
