World Cup: Ivory Coast-Portugal

Ivory Coast was clearly the better team, but always seemed to lack an additional attacking player in the box. The perfect illustration of this point was Drogba's cross in the 90th minute, as he was expecting to have someone far post. The entire game, Ivory Coast never got someone on far post, even though they were attacking most of the game. A bad loss for them, as they need to play Brazil later and winning this game would have put them in the drivers seat in terms of getting to the 2nd round. I hope they do as they are an exciting team - the best African team so far.
