Group G FINALE: Ivory Coast 3-0 North Korea; Brazil 0-0 Portugal

Once more, one of the big ties of the group stage proved to be a big let-down. Both sides knew a draw would do them, barring the Ivory Coast mauling the Koreans, and that just didn't happen. Seemed to get a bit spicy between the players, but in the end the group ended with a whimper, and not exactly as I'd predicted. 1 BRAZIL 2 PORTUGAL 3 Ivory Coast 4 North Korea
