Father’s Day With Brazil And Côte d’Ivoire

Ivory Coast FansBig day Sunday. Honor your father by spending time with him. That’s what I’ll miss most about the day, not being able to get a round of golf in with him beside me on the course.

I will be thinking about him and enjoying a quality meal and a game that features what is considered to be the top 2 teams in the Group of Death

Brazil sits atop Group G, and is relishing the opportunity to face its major competition in the “Group of Death.”

The South Americans meet Ivory Coast for the first time Sunday night in Johannesburg, and the Ivorians may give injured Didier Drogba his first start.

Brazil is favored to win the difficult group, but didn’t start off strong with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over North Korea on Tuesday. The Selecao had trouble breaking down the resolute defense of the Asian underdogs, and are looking forward to playing the more talented African nation.

The Ivory Coast opened with a scoreless draw against Portugal on Tuesday, leaving both teams tied for second place. Drogba, who broke his right arm in an exhibition match against Japan on June 4, entered as a substitute in the 66th minute after questions about whether he would see action.
