Were they unlucky tonight against Argentina?

Yes, that and they seemed to get desperate after awhile. This made them lose some concentration, I think, Also, pehaps nerves and all the pressure from this being their first World Cup match and the whole political situation back home.
The speed at which they can move back and forth throughout the field. That's astounding.
Even with all of that, they remained a great adversary for a team so great as Argentina and we can probably expect great things from them in the future.

A beautiful team. Seeing them play the way they did today makes group C even tougher in my mind. Goodness what technique and speed and power and moves and attacking play and great players they have. They exposed a very good Argentina many times and if they'd had a bit of luck could have come out ahead. The only problem for me is that Argentina scored too easily. But Argentina is very good and they created those goals as much as The Coast allowed them. Right now Ivory Coast is my favourite team of the tournament...their brand of football lit up my day...like the orange of their jerseys :) .

yea
i think they were bit unlucky, but its the wasted opportunity that sets them apart from argentina.
i really think that argentina and ivory coast will proceed to the next round, if ivory coast display the same performance against netherland in next match.

Hello,
I think they played well but they could not define any situations, every time they shoot the goal they were bad shots...
However, they did give us a hard time and I wish they pass to the next round (I definitely prefer them over Holland, I do not know how Serbia-Montenegro plays so I could not give an opinion on them)
To: "didymum": the goal that was disallowed was actually from Argentina, genious!

team that in places showed lots of pace skill ,technique and flare but at this moment in time no luck in-front of goal maybe its not your year mind i believe that England is better than quite a few teams in the competition but we only just managed a 1 nil win so maybe the ivory coast will improve and show us all there full potential ace

very good side, argentina did back off towards the end, but if the ivorians were in any other group they would go through to next stage easily. They very strong and have good ability.
