In a match which held little if any real importance apart from the pride of these two nations, Ivory Coast defeated North Korea by 3-0, which though a nice victory fell way short of what they needed to do in order to leapfrog Portugal in to the next round. It also being a case that it would not have made a difference even if they had won by 9 goals, given that Portugal drew today's game which allowed them to finish with one more point then Ivory Coast. As for the match, it was played with Ivory controlling the action and going forward. Their goals coming through Yaya Tour 13", Romaric 19" and Kaluo 81".
Ivory Coast, in all truth did not play badly in what concerned this world cup and though they did not qualify to the next round like they did four years ago; they can at least leave South Africa 2010 knowing they won a game and drew against a team which might easily be among the semifinalists.
North Korea, for its part gave a wonderful display of football against Brazil. It coming in a match which in all truth can not be said that Brazil played badly but that North Korea demonstrated a lot of ability yet it was to their misfortune that they were unable to repeat the same quality play in their remaining two matches. It being my opinion that with the same level they showed against Brazil, they might have qualified along with the South American team. As for another personal comment about the North Korean team, I would like to say that I wish them the best of luck in their return to their country and may they return to the next world cup with the same enthusiasm though perhaps with better results.
