FIFA World Cup 2014 : Japan vs. Ivory Coast preview
When the Japanese are clicking, it is usually due to clinical, exact passing, & they have the potential to pick apart the Ivory Coast's defense. However, this year's World Cup is probably the last for Didier Drogba (seldom say seldom) & potentially Yaya Toure, meaning that neither require to finish a World Cup career having seldom advanced out of the group stages.

The Ivory Coast finally, finally earned a fortuitous group draw after back-to-back brutal groups in 2006 & 2010. Japan, in contrast, is looking to get back to the Round of 16 for the second-straight World Cup & the third time in the last tournaments.

The Elephants scored 15 goals in qualifying, & are always hazardous in the air on set pieces. Look for the Ivory Coast to take advantage of their size & strength, an edge they possess over most teams in the field.

The winner of this match could set themselves up to advance in a comparatively weak group. That ought to only raise the stakes, as in the event that they weren't high .
