Côte d'Ivoire v Japan 0200 BST

The usually reliable TSS and lamballana have dropped the ball big time and both failed to notice the game everyone's most looking forward to, but don't worry, I'm here to save the day. Let's see how many people stay up for this one, eh? Here's a screenshot of a little bit of information.

I was leaving space for others to do Match Threads..! Yeah, I asked for that..!

OK, I was going to do it later, if someone else hadn't, as I was sticking to my own rule of only doing match threads on the day of the match, but I would agree if anyone said that was taking the rule too far.

Cheers for stepping up.

 

Thanks Dan. I might go to bed early tonight and get up for this one...

 

Massive game to be fair! Kind of a winner takes all.

My heart says japan but my head says 1-1.

 

We have interest if Maya starts, up against Bony and Yaya or even Drogba, could be interesting.

 

Thought Bony was Dutch?

 

Nope. He used to play in Holland but he's not Dutch.

It's so wonderful to, at long last, have a major sporting event played in my time zone. I'm not sure that I can stay up until 10pm, guys. This is going to be a tough one to catch.

 

Course you will Sir, only half an hour to go

(and Canada)

This Ivory Coast team could be the best African squad to turn up at a World Cup.

 

Bugger to sleep, I'll be here as long as I make it. You bitches better keep me company.

 

I decided that I'd be here as soon as I got in from my trudge in the forest. Think I'll get through it. Might even heat up some curry and get a beer or two out.

 

Sounds like fun but beer just makes me sleepy, I'd be out after half a pint.

 

It's an hour later here in Croatia

 

Nippon!!!!
