Wow, look at that. Gervinho crosses a ball, Ivory coast scores.

Now if someone can just drill that thru his head.

Greece should've long converted for a 2nd time on these counter attacks. They didn't and that's the consequence. :noway:

Japan getting the short end of the stick on these foul calls, Colombian defenders are physical and aggressive, Japan should've had at least 1 penalty kick on those goal tackles. There's a certain bias on these calls, I don't think FIFA wants an Asian team to even sniff a world cup final, these games are turning into blatant WWE NBA style competition :nonono: what happened to fair, unbiased impartial
Officiating?

Gervinho assisting is good karma, if they don't advance now there's no hope for the world anymore.

Japan is the opposite, extremely high soccer IQ(excellent passing, creative drives) but lacking in speed and physicality.

Gervinho <> Sio

If Sio completes 2 crosses, he would prolly out-cross Gervinho by 1. :D

That is up to the coach & of course Yaya & Drogba to correct. Not a big deal if the team is well coached.
