Ivory Coast World Cup 2006

Country – Ivory Coast
Capital City – Yamoussoukro
Continent –Africa
Manager – Henri Michel – Former France Manager & Captain
Captain – No Current Captain – Chelsea’s Didier Drogba will likely get the nod
Star Man – Kolo Toure, regular experience as a current member of the Arsenal squad is proving to make him an invaluable member to the defence.

How did they Qualify -The Ivory Coast National football team finished Top of their World Cup Germany 2006 group ahead of Cameroon and Egypt. Didier Drogba proved priceless in the qualifications with 9 goals and a double against Egypt which meant they could afford to slip up in their penultimate match against Cameroon. This is the first time they have reached the finals in 8 attempts.

still most people are looking upon Le Cote D'Ivoire as a treat to watch. Their strengths are in the attack and also defence yet they lack in concentration throughout the field 100% of the time. With a World ranking of 41 they are seen as the most threatening of the African teams and expected to reach the final 8 in Germany 2006.
