[undertow]

... isn't the Ivory Coast's nickname 'The Elephants' ?

I thought you are waiting for Hannibal...

kalouuuuuuuuuu

 

[Zola]

Gervino is terrbile!

Drogba and Kalou did quite well.

Not sure how strong the elephants are, the midfield was quite poor at times I thought

 

[yorkleyblue]

Come on Elephants!!

That got me banned from Bristol Zoo last time!

How cool is that, mama Drogba is awesome.

 

[moi]

All mamas are awesome, dickywuh! It's just that their sons rarely recognise it!

You will be awesome to Emily! (what am I saying - you ARE already awesome to Emily!)

 

[Zola]

Go on the DROG!

Just fired The elephants into the semis

Legend.

BBC

2035: TV screens are suggesting that Drogba's header flew in at 70 kilometres per hour, which would seem to be mightily fast. No wonder Danilo never got a hand on it although, to be fair to the Eq Guinea keeper, he wasn't too far away.

44mph

Holy f**k.

Where has this Kalou been? On the bench I suppose.

 

[Zola]

He hurt himself in the previous game last week, not sure if he played in this game or not.

That is an incredibly powerful header, he is a monster when on his game.

All 3 goals

[midlandblue]

no mention of his missed penalty?

 

[just]

Great header but not as powerful as the one he put past Oliver Khan from Joe Cole's cross in Munich. That was an absolute fuking laser guided missile.

What are the semi-final matches and when are they?

Desperate for Drogba to lift the trophy, is there a more fitting African sporting sight? Scores goals at the weekend, stops civil wars in the week.
