The unofficial World Cup Thread,

New Zealanders with a last minute goal. Don't think anyone predicted that result.

Ok, I'm torn. Portugal has kept 15 clean sheets in the last 20. But, Dogbreath is playing. Yet, Portugal score on average 1.5 goals a game and concede 0.5 a goal. And Ivory Coast score almost 2 goals a game and concede 1. So. I think I'll throw all that data out the window. And go with:

Revision:

Ivory Coast

1 - 1

Portugal

there are things the stats don´t show....the Portuguese team might have won the last few games...but they were generally bad performances....
I say we don´t win today...and given a first game slip up we might even lose.....

i´m sticking to my initial gut feeling....2-1 Ivory Coast

He also has like the only shot of the half, so we can forgive him for that...

Germany got called for offsides about 15 times, and scored 4 goals. Coincidence?

drogba should have taken that shot

ivory coast made a hash of that final corner kick attempt
