Ivory Coast 0-0 Portugal
The biggest match-up in the first round of games. From what I could see while glancing over my shoulder in between feigning work, the Ivory Coast dominated this, with wave after wave of attack, without actually really threatening. I don't tip Portugal to make it out of the group, because Ronaldo aside, there's no other world-class player in their ranks. IC looked strong all over the shop. If Drogba had been on from the start, they could well have snatched this.
