I was most impressed with Ivory Coast, I thought they played excellent football, do you you think they were the best of the African teams despite their early departure?

Ivory Coast came into the tournament as the best African team but at the end Ghana performed better.

Yes, I agree. I can say that if Ivory Coast was in the group of Mexico, Portugal, Iran, and Angola. I think they would still be playing. I would have rather seen Angola and Ivory Coast switched groups.

Definitely. The Ivory Coast deserved better than to get stuck in the Group of Death with Argentina and Holland, but what can you do?

I agree with you actually! Ivory Coast played inspired football at times, but just had a tough time handling teams with more firepower. I love watching them play as well, they are incredibly athletic and speedy and I thought Drogba acted admirably as their captain. I am sad to say that had they been able to convince Salomon Kalou (brother of Bonaventure Kalou) to play for them instead of being a jackass and trying to play for Holland, they might have actually moved on from this group! But oh well, I will always pull for them, because they have heart and an obvious desire!

I thought that Ghana looked relly good. I loved Kingston in the early games. They couldn't hang with Brazil, but who can?
