Maybe Ronaldo will get injured in todays meaningless friendly, along with some key players for Spain in their exhibition game.

Let's see...no Drogba, no Robben, no Nani...who's next to bite the dust?

bad news for my Ivory Coast to be eliminated at group stage bet

Nani was a terror in 2H of EPL season coming down the right side

I'm on the same bet. Thinking we still have the edge there though.
The IC keeper is apparently quite poor, for one thing.

Brazil can't be too unhappy with this turn of events. The group
of death has suddenly lost much of its sting. The good thing for
the South Americans is not only an easier road to qualification,
but also an increased chance of first place and avoiding Spain
in the first elimination game.
