I have money on Cote D'Ivoire, just because I am not that impressed with Portugal. However I did put an accumulator on today- as suggested by Paddy Power, and the last one is Portugal to win. So it will prolly be a draw.

Why do people so frequently use Cote D'Ivoire instead of the Ivory Coast? We don't use Deutschland, Espana or Italia so why this?

Just interested that's all.

Personally, mostly because when I went there, I was told on many occassions it is illegal to use Ivory Coast...habit I guess.

Ivorians generally don't like the term Ivory Coast so people just oblige.

Ivory Coast to win 3-1

[Archie's penalty]

Looking forward to this. Looks like Drogba will be back. I can see them making the Quarter-Finals. If they're to do so they need to win this game.

Come on Cote D'Ivoire!!!

Really looking forward to this game - could this be the one that 'sets the tournament alight'?

If people say it enough, it might eventually happen.

The big difference being that the official name of the country is Cote D'Ivoire - it's isn't a language thing it's what the country is actually called and is so in English - it is not called the Ivory Coast.

Anyway, before this turns into a Frimmers-style hijacked thread...

2-2
1 sending-off each.

Cote D'Ivorire is not in English. It's in French, m8.

If you went to France and got called "Christophe" then you'd soon kick up a fuss.

But the name of the country is now, officially (I think), Cote d'Ivoire

Its not that hard to grasp.
