Ivory Coast had to be happy to be drawn into a pretty weak group in Brazil after being drawn into the Group of Death in South Africa. They have the star power and have been called the "golden generation", but they have not really won any big tournaments. Still, with the likes of Didier Drogba, Yaya Toure and Salomon Kalou you cannot count them out this summer.
The Elephants have the star power and a great attacking squad, but are seen as a very immature team, one that chokes under pressure, and their World Cup record is less than stellar.
