A Night To Remember For The Elephants

Despite already knew they will go home after the match against S & M, Ivory Coast produced a terrific finale to their 1st ever WC adventure. They scored 3 goals, coming from 2 goals down. A well deserved victory for Ivory Coast and it was 1 of the best match so far for Germany 2006. Elsewhere, Iran ended Angola's hope of qualifying to the next round, as they drew 1-1. However, Angola will still remember this match for another reason, their 1st ever WC goal, scored by Flavio. Today's action will see all 4 teams from Group E will do their best to gain 1 of the 2 spots for the next round. Later, Japan, Croatia & Australia will go all out to take the 2nd spot, behind Brazil.
