France and Netherlands don't have better quality bro
This French squad was labelled the worst french team of all time 6 months ago and the Netherlands would love our defence and wing options. They would have the intelligence to use the players properly
Another golden generation going down in history as a bunch of individual names and never a team.Not sure I get this antipathy towards the Greeks. They don't play great football but they don't have particularly good players available so they do the best when what they've got. Still a damn sight better than the English, who can learn a thing or two about passion and pride playing for their country by watching the Greeks. Besides all that, the Greeks didn't win just because of fight and organisation, they were by far the better team- for all the Ivorian stars, Greece should've been out of sight long before the undeserved equaliser. At least the Greeks give their fans something to be proud of.
Cant agree there mateThey do have better quality. The quality gap between Holland's defence and ours is smaller than the gap between our midfield and theirs.
Just because a squad has been labelled as the worst that country has ever had doesn't mean it's worse than the current England squad. I remember a lot people saying the German squad for the 2002 World Cup was amongst the worst Germany's ever had and frankly I would take that '02 squad over England's current lot.

Golden generation of Ivory Coast will go down as the great african underachievers or failures:
2006 ACN: Lost to Egypt in final
2006 WC: Unlucky to be drawn with and lose to Argentina and Netherlands in the group stage but did beat Serbia
2008 ACN: Lost to Egypt in Semi final and Ghana in 3rd place playoff
2010 ACN: Lost to Algeria in quarter finals
2010 WC: Drew with Portugal and Lost to Brazil in group stage, unlucky since brazil had nothing to play for against portugal
2012 ACN: Lost to Zambia in the final
2013 ACN: Lost to Nigeria in quarter finals
2014 WC: Lost to Greece and Colombia but beat Japan
Its a shame that Drogba, Yaya, Kolo, Zokora and etc didnt achieve anything with their country
So happy for Greece.
It's the first game I've watched that the team I wanted to win won.
I can relax and enjoy this now England have finished stinking the place up.
Really surprised, didn't expect them to win. Kinda gutted for the Ivory Coast, losing to a late pen is really horrible. Also surprise at the big score line for Columbia vs Japan. Was thinking they would be taking it easy with 6 points already in the bag.
Good tournament for Honda thou.
They were lucky to still be in it! Their goal was their only meaningful chance all game. We hit the woodwork three times, pushed their goalie into several saves and were desperately unlucky not to be out of sight by the time they equalised.Really surprised, didn't expect them to win.

They're the international equivalents to Stoke City.
