Dull and lifeless as World Cup viewers are shrouded in the tournament's 6th draw in the opening round.
Once again I've been wrong regarding a game in the World Cup. Shock and horror.
On paper you'd look at the two teams involved. Ivory Coast and Portugal and then you'd look to their star players. Firstly to Portugal boasting such players as Ronaldo, Deco, and Carvahlo.
And Ivory Coast with players such as YaYa Toure, Kolo Toure and Didier Drogba.
And having looked at these two teams you'd then think "goal fest" but this wasn't the case at all.
Apart from a stunning strike from Ronaldo in the first half which was denied by the post there wasn't a whole lot to talk about really.
The same could be said about the second half too even though the Ivory Coast were well on top but didn't create any clear cut chances.
It was only when Didier Drogba was brought on when the crowd burst into life as Chelsea's prolific striker was brought into the field of play despite wearing a protective cast on his arm having received a broken arm in a friendly against Japan prior to the World Cup.
"Star players" were nowhere to be seen and sloppy passing from both sides made for frustrating viewing.
Another boring game and we can only hope that Brazil can add some flare when they play North Korea this evening.
