Ivory Coast's squad doesn't look as stand out as it has in previous World Cups

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivory_Coast_national_football_team#Current_squad

Granted their front line looks half decent with Zaha, Bony (not in great form) and that Kodjia lad who has been decent for Villa. They do have Kone at the back and obviously Baily, while my knowledge of Ligue 1 isn't great, it doesn't appear as stand out as it normally is.

Their squad from 6 years ago had the Toure's, Drogba, a prime Tiote, Eboue (when he was decent), Zakora, Gervinho, a prime Kalou etc. It probably is because all of those played in England so my knowledge of them was a lot better.

Looking forward to it. I'll watch most of the later games, be good to have a few extra matches to watch.
 
Made a few bob on Egypt a few tournaments back. They were obviously the only team in a tournament full of selfish glory hunting undisciplined headless individuals. They strolled it.

Looks like they won every game comfortably up until the final in 2010. Seems strange with no Nigeria in it this year.

There's been 3 tournaments played within that time as they had back to back tournaments in 2012-2013 to change it to an odd year.
