:01:23. > :01:26.coasters again. England kick-off against Uruguay in 3.5 hours time
:01:27. > :01:39.and we will get the latest news Nico. -- the latest news later.
:01:40. > :01:46.Colombia 's American stars face the seasoned campaigners of Ivory Coast.
:01:47. > :01:54.-- emerging stars. Didier Drogba and company. First, a warm welcome to
:01:55. > :01:59.our new arrival alongside Danny Murphy, Alan Hansen joins us. I have
:02:00. > :02:07.brought the weather with B. There is no sunshine here. I think the
:02:08. > :02:11.tournament so far has been great. We have had some drama and some
:02:12. > :02:20.excellent performances. Andrea Pirlo was fantastic. After 2010, it was
:02:21. > :02:26.disappointing on the pitch in South Africa, if you want to get the World
:02:27. > :02:30.Cup back to where you -- where it belongs, the best sporting
:02:31. > :02:38.competition on the planet, having it in Brazil is a start. So far, it has
:02:39. > :02:40.lived up to all expectations. The interest back home is bigger and
:02:41. > :03:00.better than I have ever seen it. The Brazilians are average but we
:03:01. > :03:05.have got home support. The Dutch decimated the Spanish and the
:03:06. > :03:17.Germans... Chile against being last night was tasty. -- against Spain.
:03:18. > :03:22.The defeat at the Maracana was the end of one of the most remarkable
:03:23. > :03:26.runs in international history. Spain had won their last three tournaments
:03:27. > :03:35.but they were dumped unceremoniously out of this one by Chile.
:03:36. > :03:41.An iconic arena awaits and the big question on everybody's lips, was
:03:42. > :03:44.just very bad day at the office for spinning mass Friday or is it the
:03:45. > :03:54.beginning of the end of the champions at this World Cup finals.
:03:55. > :04:06.-- for Spain last Friday. Fast start for Chile. Vargas, Chile strike
:04:07. > :04:29.first. Spain have got a bloody glove. -- lip. Punched backend, 2-0.
:04:30. > :04:41.Spain are in a very big hole now. Spain are out.
:04:42. > :04:55.Danny, you are at the ground, They were lifeless and did not have
:04:56. > :05:01.much energy. Rather than focus on the negativity of Spain, the energy
:05:02. > :05:06.and vibrance of Chile was amazing. I have not seen a team worked so hard
:05:07. > :05:12.for each other for a long time. One of the best team performances I have
:05:13. > :05:15.seen, especially live. Given the amount of players that Spain
:05:16. > :05:19.continued to produce, they have got a lot of great young players, it
:05:20. > :05:24.would be a fool who writes off just yet in terms of their future.
:05:25. > :05:33.There's a lot of great players and the Spanish side. I will agree with
:05:34. > :05:47.Danny, you have to get Chile some credit. We were all sad yesterday
:05:48. > :05:55.here, they wanted them to react. You want -- you have got a lot of
:05:56. > :05:58.respect for them. They will be back. It was summed up last season when I
:05:59. > :06:04.asked about was the demise of Spanish football and the answer was
:06:05. > :06:19.categorically not. Welcome back, Alan. I think that Father Time has
:06:20. > :06:21.caught up with them. They have got a lot of good young players but I
:06:22. > :06:30.don't think you will ever get the quality of those players again. On
:06:31. > :06:33.the upside, for the last three or four tournaments, the home builders
:06:34. > :06:38.like you would never believe, the way that they dominate possession
:06:39. > :06:41.and the play. It is ironic that last night they were done by tactics. You
:06:42. > :06:45.would normally see that you can not play against the Spanish like that
:06:46. > :06:53.because if you press them in the war hammer you. They just looked
:06:54. > :07:00.lifeless. It was not Vincent Del Bosque is night. The last thing
:07:01. > :07:16.you'd want to do is get on the Chile boss accidentally. -- bus. Let us
:07:17. > :07:26.turn our attention to England. Gabby Logan is in Sao Paulo.
:07:27. > :07:33.This morning we woke up in Sao Paulo and it was raining, it was grey. It
:07:34. > :07:40.was about 15 degrees. It is still jumper weather here but the
:07:41. > :07:43.conditions will please each other. -- each team. England training last
:07:44. > :08:00.night and spoke to the press afterwards.
:08:01. > :08:05.fact that it will not be played in enormous heat will help both teams.
:08:06. > :08:10.We certainly are not complaining about it even though we have done a
:08:11. > :08:13.lot of preparation for playing in a lot hotter temperatures. I have
:08:14. > :08:18.spoken to the group during the week to reiterate that message of the
:08:19. > :08:23.pain of going out early in World Cups. I am sure that everybody in
:08:24. > :08:28.the squad is aware how difficult a summer it will be if we feel. I was
:08:29. > :08:32.satisfied by the performance of Wayne Rooney against Italy. It was
:08:33. > :08:37.interesting to get the statistics back and find out that he ran more
:08:38. > :08:43.than any England player. It was not evident to people watching the game.
:08:44. > :08:47.Willis Suarez is a genius and I have said it many times. He is a
:08:48. > :08:56.wonderful player and it will be a boost to Uruguay to have him back.
:08:57. > :08:59.They are more than one player. It doesn't matter what defendant you
:09:00. > :09:06.are, you've got a job in your hands dealing with Daniel Sturridge. We
:09:07. > :09:10.have to create Uruguay big problems going forward. You will see another
:09:11. > :09:14.good attacking England performance and that is why I believe the key to
:09:15. > :09:18.this game is getting our defensive side right, we will win the game.
:09:19. > :09:20.this game is getting our defensive Philip Neville has joined me. It has
:09:21. > :09:24.been a story of Philip Neville has joined me. It has
:09:25. > :09:31.forwards all week, Wayne Rooney and Suarez. He is expected to start in
:09:32. > :09:32.number Suarez. He is expected to start in
:09:33. > :09:40.change the dynamic? Wayne Suarez. He is expected to start in
:09:41. > :09:43.back in his possession, they will drop into midfield and we will
:09:44. > :09:45.back in his possession, they will more possession in the. Steven
:09:46. > :09:48.Gerrard will be able to get on the ball more. It was the left flank
:09:49. > :09:54.that was causing ball more. It was the left flank
:09:55. > :10:00.convinced that Danny Welbeck will help to shore that top? He's the
:10:01. > :10:04.best of play in that position. My trusts seminar possession. He will
:10:05. > :10:11.best of play in that position. My Baines to get forward that we did
:10:12. > :10:17.not see against Italy. Where Uruguay question England most? They were --
:10:18. > :10:23.they were weak against Costa Rica. The front three were the best
:10:24. > :10:28.players and that squad. Uruguay are the underdogs and they will be able
:10:29. > :10:36.to sit deep and hit on the counterstrike with Rodriguez.
:10:37. > :10:43.Conditions and the pitch will be to England's liking.
:10:44. > :10:49.Thank you very much. What are your views on England, Alan? I felt that
:10:50. > :10:53.they played well defensively. You have got to holding players and you
:10:54. > :10:59.push everybody forward. That puts a lot of pressure on your back four.
:11:00. > :11:03.What the Italians dead was played between the lines beautifully.
:11:04. > :11:12.Andrea Pirlo was sensational. It was a lack of communication between the
:11:13. > :11:15.back four. Everybody is talking about Wayne Rooney! . To play him
:11:16. > :11:24.weighed on the left was crazy for me. He is a massive talent. He needs
:11:25. > :11:31.to be up top or just off. Just off for me. If you play him weighed
:11:32. > :11:34.Rooney is always trying come inside. Defensively, about three or four
:11:35. > :11:41.times in the first half, he got himself in a bad position. He had to
:11:42. > :11:45.channel it weighed rather than go through them and come out right. All
:11:46. > :11:49.he needs is somebody in the middle of the park or somebody behind him,
:11:50. > :11:54.professedly Leighton Baines, to tell them to take it to a three yards
:11:55. > :11:58.that way and you do not have the problem. You saw a problem at
:11:59. > :12:04.half-time. I think they can get out of this group, this is not a great
:12:05. > :12:10.group at all. Rumour has it that way many will be back in a central role.
:12:11. > :12:19.That is where we want to see him. -- Wayne Rooney. You want him to
:12:20. > :12:23.perform at the World Cup. He ran a lot against Italy but that is not
:12:24. > :12:32.where you wanted to see him run. I want to see him in his possession
:12:33. > :12:36.and any number ten jersey. That is a pertinent point. Andrea Pirlo did
:12:37. > :12:41.not run very much but he was the best player. When someone goes past
:12:42. > :12:54.them he does not track back. Does he perform? Yes. In this particular
:12:55. > :13:01.system of 4-2-3-1, the midfield player is more than a player going
:13:02. > :13:04.forward than dropping back. The Italian midfielders are quality
:13:05. > :13:07.players. This is a different mentality when you go into a team
:13:08. > :13:11.where you will have more possession. Uruguay are not as good
:13:12. > :13:15.as the Italians saw England should have more possession. You can
:13:16. > :13:20.pretend centrally and asked him to do his stuff, go and win the game.
:13:21. > :13:24.Against Italy it was about keeping him in the team and that is why Roy
:13:25. > :13:29.played him on the left rather than leaving him out and leaning his
:13:30. > :13:33.confidence. He is on the left which is not his best possession. They
:13:34. > :13:37.have put him under more pressure. If he does not perform in this game
:13:38. > :13:47.then everybody will be talking about Wayne Rooney. It is massive pressure
:13:48. > :13:54.on him. But occasionally in life you have to make things happen. There
:13:55. > :14:00.was talk before the tournament that he was not well in his mind. As for
:14:01. > :14:08.Uruguay, the strengths and weaknesses? I played against Uruguay
:14:09. > :14:18.so many times. They will pinch you sometimes. The kind of annoys you.
:14:19. > :14:33.And danger have got Suarez and caravanning. -- Cavani. All of the
:14:34. > :14:38.England squad know what Suarez can do even though he is not 100%. Part
:14:39. > :14:43.of the fence coming back from that the operation, the is no way. But it
:14:44. > :14:54.is Suarez, he is tough, tough, tough. He did really well against
:14:55. > :15:01.Everton and the centre-half is thinking in the back of his mind
:15:02. > :15:12.that it is wise. -- that it is Suarez. You know what he is like
:15:13. > :15:20.from free kicks, 25 yards out, into the back of the net. I felt the
:15:21. > :15:25.Uruguay were put defensively. England can take advantage of that.
:15:26. > :15:28.Let a switch attention to the live game, Colombia versus Ivory Coast,
:15:29. > :15:47.each open data in the Midwest a fine victory. -- each open and they are
:15:48. > :15:52.prudent with a fine victory. It has crept in and we have only been
:15:53. > :16:06.playing for five minutes. Here is Honda. Japan in front. Gutierrez
:16:07. > :16:19.with a chance. What a good cross. Wilfried Bony to equalise for the
:16:20. > :16:25.Ivory Coast. Rodriguez! 3-0. Another good cross again and they have
:16:26. > :16:34.scored again. Gervinho home. Two goals in 90 seconds have turned this
:16:35. > :16:39.game around. The South Americans and the Africans lead the way in Group
:16:40. > :16:41.C. Another win today and one of them will be on the verge of the knockout
:16:42. > :16:52.stages. James Rodriguez has become the star
:16:53. > :17:16.men. He had 83 catches. He is the man
:17:17. > :17:22.now, he is the one trying to get onto the ball and make things
:17:23. > :17:26.happen. He was all over the place. He was dropping in here, it was a
:17:27. > :17:35.deep pass. He is trying to get into the box. They are looking for him
:17:36. > :17:40.more, they are giving him the ball. That was a hell of a left foot. He
:17:41. > :17:45.is anywhere around the box. He should have done better, but he is
:17:46. > :17:53.in the right places and his end product is good. All day he was
:17:54. > :18:00.getting on the ball. Finally he gets his reward for his efforts. He is a
:18:01. > :18:01.wonderful playmaker and you want him to get goals as well. He could be
:18:02. > :18:12.crucial today. He is a really good to get goals as well. He could be
:18:13. > :18:26.player. They are almost like Chile in the way they play. He is
:18:27. > :18:30.responding now. He is delivering. The way they play sums up this
:18:31. > :18:35.tournament so far. Traditionally they have got men behind the ball
:18:36. > :18:44.and they played deep. The number of times they were getting past the
:18:45. > :18:47.front man en masse is great to see. Are we going with James? That is his
:18:48. > :19:08.name. Kolo Toure is on the bench. In
:19:09. > :19:15.midfield they will be hoping for more from Yaya Toure. He was not
:19:16. > :19:21.that great against Japan. Up front, 36-year-old Didier Drogba stars on
:19:22. > :19:29.the bench again with Wilfried Bony the attacking focus. He has been
:19:30. > :19:30.impressive in English football. He did not start so
:19:31. > :19:39.impressive in English football. He League, but we soon found out what
:19:40. > :19:49.he was all about. I don't want to comment too much on headers! He is
:19:50. > :20:02.strong, he has got pace. Obviously the box, he is going to be there. He
:20:03. > :20:13.is a handful. I think he is underrated. He is so good in the
:20:14. > :20:18.area. Maybe because he is playing for Swansea, people do not like to
:20:19. > :20:27.give him credit. He scored so many in the second half of the season. We
:20:28. > :20:34.are acknowledged his performance. He is always around. He is ideal for
:20:35. > :20:40.the Premier League and English football. I will be surprised to see
:20:41. > :20:46.him wearing a Swansea shirt football. I will be surprised to see
:20:47. > :20:57.season. He is keeping Didier Drogba about on the bench.
:20:58. > :21:06.You have got Zokora and Bamba. I played with Didier Drogba at
:21:07. > :21:17.Tottenham and he was a central defender. He is not a central
:21:18. > :21:21.defender. But the Ivory Coast are unpredictable. And they got their
:21:22. > :21:26.stuff together in the first game. That is the team that can finally
:21:27. > :21:33.reached the finals from Africa. That is the team that can finally
:21:34. > :21:39.had an injury at the end of the season. He has scored in so many big
:21:40. > :21:39.had an injury at the end of the games and has been the pivotal man
:21:40. > :21:47.for Manchester City. Sometimes games and has been the pivotal man
:21:48. > :21:51.you are so good, it becomes easy games and has been the pivotal man
:21:52. > :21:56.you. When you have a good game, it is OK, but when you have a bad game,
:21:57. > :21:59.people will look at the way you play, but that is the way
:22:00. > :22:03.people will look at the way you But he can go from quiet to
:22:04. > :22:10.explosive and hopefully it will be today. Thierry Henry made an
:22:11. > :22:15.interesting point about how the Ivory Coast players are coming
:22:16. > :22:22.together and that unity should help. In the African nations they have not
:22:23. > :22:27.actually succeeded. Why is that? I don't know. I am amazed they did not
:22:28. > :22:32.win the African Cup of Nations. I just do not get it. They know each
:22:33. > :22:38.other because they all worked together in the Academy. Hopefully
:22:39. > :22:43.they will do it in this World Cup. You think is good going that way and
:22:44. > :22:50.terrible going that way. It is a tough game to predict. I am going
:22:51. > :22:57.for a draw. That is no way to start your World Cup campaign. I am going
:22:58. > :23:02.for a draw. After our prediction of Spain to win, I think we should
:23:03. > :23:10.forget it. Colombia have got incredible support here today. The
:23:11. > :23:17.first game was like a party. We have seen with the Chileans, they do not
:23:18. > :23:22.have to travel that far. South American teams are getting wonderful
:23:23. > :23:28.support. I was at the game yesterday and it was one of the most wonderful
:23:29. > :23:33.atmospheres. With the Colombian side, like the Chileans, their
:23:34. > :23:41.energy and their fitness levels are worth mentioning. To play against a
:23:42. > :23:44.team that is so fit and energetic is zapping and difficult. It will be
:23:45. > :23:51.interesting to see how the Ivory Coast cope with that. You mentioned
:23:52. > :23:54.you thought it would be a draw, you might see them have a draw
:23:55. > :24:01.considering they both have won their first matches? You don't want to end
:24:02. > :24:08.up thinking about the last game. If you can finish it now, let's finish
:24:09. > :24:12.it now. The two teams are in the tunnel, taking their time. Yaya
:24:13. > :24:19.Toure is walking through, motivating his players. It is great again for
:24:20. > :24:23.the World Cup to see the best players playing brilliantly and Yaya
:24:24. > :24:28.Toure is such a great player. If he showed his massive talent again
:24:29. > :24:36.today, it would be great for the tournament. I think he will perform.
:24:37. > :24:40.It is time to hand over to our commentators from Brasilia, it is
:24:41. > :24:44.Colombia versus the Ivory Coast watched by Mark Lawrenson and Steve
:24:45. > :24:51.Wilson. A fascinating meeting of South
:24:52. > :24:57.America and sub Sahara Africa with almost certain qualification for the
:24:58. > :25:02.taking if either side can win. Colombia ripped into Greece five
:25:03. > :25:07.days ago. They scored early and dominated throughout. Ivory Coast
:25:08. > :25:18.came from behind to beat Japan. We are in Brasilia. It was built from
:25:19. > :25:23.scratch in the 50s. The stadium is arguably the most impressive in
:25:24. > :25:30.Brazil. It is only slightly smaller than the Maracana R. But it looks
:25:31. > :25:39.and feels more dramatic and more daring. Today it looks and feels
:25:40. > :25:47.Colombian. The support from Colombia, nearly 2500 miles away, is
:25:48. > :25:59.fantastic. They say there are 50,000 here inside the stadium. And both
:26:00. > :26:18.the sides have started well. This should be good.

:33:07. > :33:20.looks like they almost have for upfront. They are quite big as well.
:33:21. > :33:26.26 degrees in Brasilia today. Glorious sunshine and beautiful
:33:27. > :33:29.climate. Magnificent arena. It is one of the steepest grounds that I
:33:30. > :33:34.have ever been in and it just adds to the
:33:35. > :33:42.the match between Ford and forth will be played here. It was also the
:33:43. > :33:55.venue for the opening game of the Confederations Cup. -- third and
:33:56. > :34:23.fourth. Gervinho could not reach it and it
:34:24. > :34:27.was put out of play. Gervinho is the player who found the form with
:34:28. > :34:32.Walmart that attracted him to Arsenal but did not show enough. He
:34:33. > :34:35.is the type of player who needs affection. It was probably not
:34:36. > :34:45.enough time for that at are still worth of the superstars that Willie.
:34:46. > :35:10.-- superstars at Arsenal. It is such a colourful occasion.
:35:11. > :35:24.There is a bit of orange from Ivory Coast.
:35:25. > :35:42.It would've been for Sabri Lamouchi to leave out Wilfried Bony. You may
:35:43. > :35:47.get 70 minutes from Bony and then bring on proper. -- bring on Didier
:35:48. > :36:45.Drogba. Barry Ingles for Ivory Coast. It is
:36:46. > :37:08.his third World Cup. -- is the goalkeeper for Ivory Coast.
:37:09. > :37:20.Aurier is said to be interesting Arsenal. I think that is the Ivory
:37:21. > :37:35.Coast policy around Rodriguez. Try to close him down. That was a great
:37:36. > :37:47.ball, wasn't it? They gave him time and space and that was perfectly
:37:48. > :37:56.judged. Gutierrez with the shot but he did not catch it as he would want
:37:57. > :37:58.on his left foot. He has that ability to time defence into attack
:37:59. > :38:26.in a split second. There is a big inflatable ball on
:38:27. > :38:34.the far side of the game. They will have to stop the game. It is
:38:35. > :38:40.probably came all the way from Sunderland! It is so big it is
:38:41. > :38:48.making the players look like those little figures that we have in the
:38:49. > :38:54.title sequence. He coached Argentina against Ivory Coast in the 2006
:38:55. > :38:57.World Cup. He finished on the winning side, the first match for
:38:58. > :39:39.the African nation in the World Cup. It is -- his first job was working
:39:40. > :39:50.as a TV pundit, Sabri Lamouchi. Surely not?
:39:51. > :40:02.Didn't the man at Dortmund used to do that as well? Yes. There is
:40:03. > :40:03.another ball that has been thrown on by somebody in the crowd.
:40:04. > :40:26.Ridiculous. passing that almost got Colombia in.
:40:27. > :41:09.And a really good -- really passing that almost got Colombia in.
:41:10. > :41:24.ball through to Gervinho. The time defence into attack, Ivory Coast.
:41:25. > :41:25.The ball has to be in the quadrant and the lanes and is happy that it
:41:26. > :41:31.has. -- assistant referee. and the lanes and is happy that it
:41:32. > :41:44.has. -- assistant referee. It is a promising start. It is
:41:45. > :41:50.promising, Steve. The play is quite spread out which is quite good. It
:41:51. > :41:52.allows the talented players to get on the ball as we have seen with
:41:53. > :43:03.Rodriguez. It is going to be a free kick. How
:43:04. > :43:27.good was that by Armero? It was a well timed tackle on Yaya Toure.
:43:28. > :43:44.Howard has got the paint spray out, look.
:43:45. > :43:51.The core keeper came and did well. -- the goalkeeper.
:43:52. > :44:09.The core keeper came and did well. -- the goalkeeper.
:44:10. > :44:16.That was cut out by Zokora, it had to be. Ivory Coast were not aware
:44:17. > :44:20.that Colombia had three players up front. It was free versus free.
:44:21. > :44:21.that Colombia had three players up get caught out trying to score
:44:22. > :44:41.themselves a goal. That was great by Zuniga but it was
:44:42. > :44:49.a shame that he ran out of petrol. Gervinho did not enjoy that. -- ran
:44:50. > :44:58.out of the pitch. That was supposed to happen the other way around. That
:44:59. > :45:42.was the early passing as well. teams think they can win here.
:45:43. > :45:55.Algeria were OK. But Cameroon and Nigeria were not so good. He seemed
:45:56. > :46:01.to pull up a little bit short, Gutierrez. He sees things so early
:46:02. > :46:34.as He was caught by Cheick Tiote. A
:46:35. > :46:39.Colombian free kick. Great position by Howard Webb. He was only three or
:46:40. > :47:05.four eaters away from that. He has just overhit the last couple
:47:06. > :47:19.of balls, but there He has just overhit the last couple
:47:20. > :47:25.it. Ivory Coast have got their hands full at the back, covering all the
:47:26. > :47:27.posts and the runners. They have indeed and there is a lot of
:47:28. > :48:06.distance between them at the moment. I am not sure Wilfried Bony has had
:48:07. > :48:31.a kick yet. That was an old classic, it just
:48:32. > :48:37.bounced in front of him. But how quick were Colombia on the break? It
:48:38. > :49:06.was a great ball in as well. Driven into Barry's gloves by
:49:07. > :49:22.Sanchez. The flag has gone up on the far side. The Colombian number three
:49:23. > :49:33.is earning his 100th cap today. He is 38.
:49:34. > :49:38.That was not legal according to Howard Webb. Cuadrado is knocked to
:49:39. > :50:03.the ground. Very quickly and another free kick
:50:04. > :50:19.to Colombia. That is a little bit daft actually. He will still be
:50:20. > :50:24.emotional. In the Brazilian anthem the other night it was a bit spooky.
:50:25. > :50:35.It felt as if they were about to go to war. It was very strange. One of
:50:36. > :50:40.the Korean players was completely overcome in South Africa in the last
:50:41. > :50:57.cup. He was probably trying to escape!
:50:58. > :51:04.A really promising opening to this game. You get the feeling something
:51:05. > :52:01.good is going to happen. Five or six times there has been a
:52:02. > :52:08.pass with a couple of yards too much on it. And it seems to skid. I know
:52:09. > :52:23.the pitch was heavily watered before the match started.
:52:24. > :52:33.He did not bother chasing that, probably a wise decision. Save your
:52:34. > :52:34.energy. There is a little bit more about the Colombians at the moment,
:52:35. > :52:53.isn't there? He does
:52:54. > :53:26.careful with a totting up process. A great ball from Rodriguez again.
:53:27. > :53:47.That left foot. Just putting it over the defender.
:53:48. > :53:57.He is claiming that Zuniga had taken the corner. He thinks he was
:53:58. > :54:03.entitled the corner. He thinks he was
:54:04. > :55:26.penalty area. The ball has to go a whole circumference.
:55:27. > :55:32.Serge Aurier at the top of the picture in the orange boots, look at
:55:33. > :55:46.him because Arsenal are interested in him.
:55:47. > :55:59.That challenge was a bit overenthusiastic for Howard Webb.
:56:00. > :56:09.This is Colombia's first World Cup since the French edition in 1988.
:56:10. > :56:17.The Ivory Coast are familiar to us now having qualified for the last
:56:18. > :56:19.two. It is nearly ten years since Ivory Coast lost a World Cup
:56:20. > :56:38.qualifying game. Cheick Tiote can hit them and he
:56:39. > :56:42.does and it rises over the bar. He does not scored to many, but he has
:56:43. > :56:59.scored a few memorable ones from that strange. It is strange success
:57:00. > :57:05.in the African Cup of Nations has eluded Ivory Coast in recent years.
:57:06. > :57:07.Their solitary win in the tournament came in 1992 and they have twice
:57:08. > :59:58.lost in the finals on penalties. for Gutierrez. It was as though he
:59:59. > :00:07.had so much time to think about what he was doing... Offside? He seemed
:00:08. > :00:21.to stumble when the ball came to him. My goodness me X nation Mark he
:00:22. > :00:37.tried to plant his feet instead of swinging through it.
:00:38. > :01:34.Zuniga plays for Napoli at the moment. Expensive.
:01:35. > :01:39.We are just a little bit devoid of goalmouth action. The match is
:01:40. > :02:20.certainly intriguing enough. Half an hour played in Group C in
:02:21. > :02:31.Brasilia. The first game of the day. Goal this so far. The best chance
:02:32. > :02:32.for Gutierrez for Colombia. He might have been offside. But he should
:02:33. > :03:19.have scored. That was lovely play by Aurier. He
:03:20. > :03:32.fashioned this chance when they step over. He got away from Yepes. How
:03:33. > :03:53.old is he? 38. He looked like he was 38.
:03:54. > :04:01.The next live football on the BBC is Japan against Greece this evening.
:04:02. > :04:14.1035 near and will include Japan against Greece this evening.
:04:15. > :04:21.Uruguay in Sao Paulo. -- 10:35 on air.
:04:22. > :04:31.You have to give Sanchez some credit because you do not knock Yaya Toure
:04:32. > :04:38.of the ball easily. The free kick has been given to Colombia and Yaya
:04:39. > :04:40.of the ball easily. The free kick Toure is still down. I do not know
:04:41. > :04:55.if he is down because he is still injured... This is what the free
:04:56. > :04:56.kick is given for. Yaya Toure is walking back but not smoothly.
:04:57. > :05:42.Gingerly. The shots of Colombia are all around
:05:43. > :05:51.the stadium and hoping to celebrate. -- the shirts.
:05:52. > :06:04.That was Cuadrado and Yepes did manage to get his head on it. This
:06:05. > :06:16.was the challenge on Yaya Toure. It is this challenge when he gets
:06:17. > :06:21.the ball. It is nothing wrong with that. He went down like a giant
:06:22. > :06:36.redwood. He does not fill you with
:06:37. > :07:03.confidence, Bamba, does he? Cuadrado chasing their spot on able
:07:04. > :07:10.to control it. -- chasing despot unable to control that. Jose
:07:11. > :07:14.Pekerman looks troubled by the first 40 minutes. He looks like Alan
:07:15. > :08:14.Pardew 's brother. There was a big deflection on that.
:08:15. > :08:27.Who touched it last? Colombia. It is a corner. It is intriguing because
:08:28. > :08:31.Ivory Coast leave to pop but Colombia have got everybody back. --
:08:32. > :09:08.leave to men up. Again, that was a great break. Ivory
:09:09. > :09:25.Coast got a man down in the opposition penalty area. Was it the
:09:26. > :09:31.way that he felt? It was when his left foot hit the tough. -- hit the
:09:32. > :10:12.ground. That will be a froing. I do not know
:10:13. > :10:14.why the goalkeeper did not get onto that a little bit tech -- a little
:10:15. > :11:07.bit quicker. Aguilar thinks in very good
:11:08. > :11:26.challenges. He just gets his foot in now and again. -- makes some very
:11:27. > :11:41.good chances. Yepes recovered well. They did recover well because he was
:11:42. > :11:51.done for a little bit of peace. -- pace. To be fair to Bamba he'd
:11:52. > :12:05.managed to get out the whole of his own making.
:12:06. > :12:09.I am worried for him. Whenever the ball comes them, I am a little bit
:12:10. > :12:23.worried for him. Colombia have
:12:24. > :12:38.forward and by a distance of had the best chance of the game.
:12:39. > :12:52.That was wheeled by Yaya Toure. -- that was way Ward.
:12:53. > :12:57.Sometimes he looks incredible athlete you have ever
:12:58. > :13:03.seen and sometimes he looks like he needs crutches.
:13:04. > :13:21.I think the boys were making that point in the studio before the game.
:13:22. > :13:30.There are cries of division. not play that one, he did not
:13:31. > :13:35.There are cries of division. and scored lots of goals.
:13:36. > :13:37.There are cries of division. went to France to but struggle to
:13:38. > :13:45.get into the team they are. went to France to but struggle to
:13:46. > :13:51.going to join West Ham United in January. We have just handed as the
:13:52. > :13:52.starting line-ups with four minutes to go in the first half. I'm
:13:53. > :14:20.casting. -- fantastic. This is the time to score. That was
:14:21. > :14:42.comfortable for Barry in the Ivory Coast goalmouth. Ivory Coast will be
:14:43. > :14:48.happy to be 0-0 with 45 minutes to Coast goalmouth. Ivory Coast will be
:14:49. > :15:41.go. They then make try to unleash Didier Drogba. It is a goal kick.
:15:42. > :15:47.The Colombians are moaning. They think Max Gradel dived. He pushed
:15:48. > :16:11.him in the back. Howard will sort it out. I think he has.
:16:12. > :16:18.Argentina in South American qualifying. So they qualified
:16:19. > :16:55.comfortably. That was far too deep. That was a good tackle the game.
:16:56. > :17:18.Sanchez is enjoying himself. A minimum of one added minute at the
:17:19. > :18:03.end of this half. Good tackle by Cheick Tiote. But
:18:04. > :18:05.Sanchez got there first. Offside. It was actually a good dummy run by
:18:06. > :18:19.Teo. He has had the big chance of was actually a good dummy run by
:18:20. > :18:36.the half and it was a big one as well. Howard Webb's whistle, I
:18:37. > :18:42.suspect, is poised. There it goes. Interesting. Not always edge of the
:18:43. > :18:48.seat stuff. Columbia look very lively going forward. Ivory Coast
:18:49. > :18:53.have had their moments as well. Yaya Toure still not moving terribly
:18:54. > :18:59.smoothly, but he does not always. Let's see what the second half will
:19:00. > :19:06.bring from this Group C encounter. At half-time it is 0-0.
:19:07. > :19:16.It repeated out a little. I enjoyed it in the first half an hour.
:19:17. > :19:23.Cuadrado and Rodriguez were absolutely terrific. They had four
:19:24. > :19:29.or five decent chances. But they could have gone into a comfortable
:19:30. > :19:35.lead with Gutierrez. But for Yaya Toure and Wilfried Bony, no show.
:19:36. > :19:43.They are very quick on the counterattack. I think they started
:19:44. > :19:53.well. But they got a bit scared of them. We were talking that if
:19:54. > :20:03.something happens it is going to come from Colombia at the moment. He
:20:04. > :20:07.has been the highlight and has got them up the pitch quick and beaten
:20:08. > :20:13.people and got a great ball in early on. He looks like he could get a
:20:14. > :20:21.goal. We have just got a bit of news in. Fiorentina have confirmed that
:20:22. > :20:27.they have taken complete ownership of the winner, Cuadrado. They have
:20:28. > :20:39.bought out the remaining 50% of him. How does that work? After the
:20:40. > :20:46.first half? They buy everything. He is now playing in a different club.
:20:47. > :20:54.Wilfried Bony needs another chance to talk about it. The Italians do
:20:55. > :20:56.everything in a different way. I am not sure they will delay the kick
:20:57. > :21:06.off. What about the missed by not sure they will delay the kick
:21:07. > :21:10.Gutierrez, Thierry. I don't understand why. First of all, great
:21:11. > :21:24.awareness from Cuadrado. He was more occupied about what was
:21:25. > :21:36.happening behind him than scoring the goal. That is why for me he did
:21:37. > :21:43.not score. It is a great ball in. It was a pathetic finish. This is what
:21:44. > :21:48.Colombia did really well. They sit back and soak up the pressure and
:21:49. > :21:53.hammer them on the break. If you look at the Ivory Coast defence, you
:21:54. > :21:57.would have thought they have got a lot of success, but the final ball
:21:58. > :22:11.in has been a bit off. If you get the first goal, you could see them
:22:12. > :22:18.winning by three or four. Danny? Cuadrado was the main instigator. It
:22:19. > :22:23.he could have had a shot himself. He has the skills and the tricks and
:22:24. > :22:29.his passing has improved. He gets in again and uses his pace and put in a
:22:30. > :22:35.very good cross. You have got to get your striker across the front man.
:22:36. > :22:43.They have got terrific pace on the counterattack. This is worth showing
:22:44. > :22:51.just for the nutmeg alone. Gervinho in a defensive position does not
:22:52. > :22:54.count, but it was still terrific. Wilfried Bony did not touch the ball
:22:55. > :23:01.in the opposition box in the whole game. He came so many times to help
:23:02. > :23:07.his team and to defend, but that is not wait you want to see him. I
:23:08. > :23:15.wonder how long it will take Sabri Lamouchi to put Didier Drogba on.
:23:16. > :23:19.Yaya Toure has also been disappointing. He cannot get into
:23:20. > :23:29.the game at all, the game has passed him by. But that is the thing with
:23:30. > :23:37.him. When he has a good game, he bursts out of midfield. He could
:23:38. > :23:45.almost be like a runner. A better have one in the second half. It is
:23:46. > :23:50.for runners and tacklers. They have got to get on the ball and find him
:23:51. > :23:55.in the pockets. He is quiet, but you have got to give him the ball. You
:23:56. > :24:00.mentioned Serey Die who was emotional before the game and then I
:24:01. > :24:08.would argue that this was possibly one of the worst dives in World Cup
:24:09. > :24:15.history. Watch this. I am not sure it is a dive. No, he is upset
:24:16. > :24:15.history. Watch this. I am not sure because it was not a foul. It is a
:24:16. > :27:47.tantrum more than a dive. It Alan Cumming you have been
:27:48. > :27:57.evaluating the performance of, guess who, Wayne Rooney? I did not think
:27:58. > :28:03.he should have started on the left. But this is what happened. He has
:28:04. > :28:07.got to force the ball wide. There is no way this ball can come between
:28:08. > :28:13.Gerard and Rooney and he goes too far up. That happened time after
:28:14. > :28:18.time and Wayne was in a bad position. You could argue he is
:28:19. > :28:24.inexperienced in that position. This is on the line. When you look at the
:28:25. > :28:32.angle from behind it is Wayne Rooney again. I don't know what he is doing
:28:33. > :28:46.there. Thierry is going to disagree. I will. This is the chance he
:28:47. > :28:54.misses. You would expect him to hit the target. But the ball for the
:28:55. > :28:58.storage goal was perfection. It is absolutely magnificent and
:28:59. > :29:03.storage goal was perfection. It is what he is capable of doing. When
:29:04. > :29:04.you go back to the opening goal, and Thierry is going to disagree, the
:29:05. > :29:07.first you go back to the opening goal, and
:29:08. > :29:13.Thierry is going to disagree, thing you learn as a defender is his
:29:14. > :29:18.weight is all over the place. If he watches that, he will be
:29:19. > :29:41.disappointed. Can we have another look at that? He does not clear that
:29:42. > :29:46.the ball and it is too late to put your feet out. It went through the
:29:47. > :29:55.legs of Gary Cahill and he sought late. -- he witnessed it late. I
:29:56. > :30:06.think you should have cleared it. It is really harsh. I agree, you say
:30:07. > :30:14.what you think. The first thing you have to learn is that your weight
:30:15. > :30:19.has to be neutral. He should be anywhere in the first place. I
:30:20. > :30:25.definitely agree with that. Wayne Rooney has to be back in his best
:30:26. > :30:28.position. You spotted weaknesses in that you require defence. It does
:30:29. > :30:38.not take an expert to see the weaknesses. The ship there is
:30:39. > :30:47.fighting, Danny. The full-back gets sucked in. They right back has got
:30:48. > :30:53.no need to go in there. It is just a simple ball in. Again, the defending
:30:54. > :30:57.is a joke. If you are an England player and you are watching this,
:30:58. > :31:06.they would be a great deal of optimism. You have got two yards in
:31:07. > :31:22.front, you either play offside you go with the runner. Again, there was
:31:23. > :31:28.a lack of discipline at the end. But just sums up the night. That sums
:31:29. > :31:36.them up. If you are English and you will be optimistic. If they play
:31:37. > :31:43.defensively like after the Italians then England should win. The teams
:31:44. > :31:55.have just came out and Uruguay have made five chances. Lewis Solares
:31:56. > :32:01.comes in for the Eagle Forum line. -- Diego Forlan.
:32:02. > :32:10.Will he do it? It is already on your mind. He is able to time the game
:32:11. > :32:16.and it only takes a few seconds. It just takes him to do one thing. If
:32:17. > :32:28.you does that and incomes of, the risk has been taken. I would agree
:32:29. > :32:35.with that wholeheartedly. Not only has got tremendous ability, the
:32:36. > :32:38.goals, the skill, he is also tough. What do England have to do to cause
:32:39. > :32:46.this relatively weak Uruguay defence problems? I felt that Daniel
:32:47. > :32:54.Sturridge and Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck played well. They did not
:32:55. > :33:00.take the chances well. Around the box, sometimes the deliveries were
:33:01. > :33:10.not on point. They just have to do the same but a bit more. The
:33:11. > :33:14.communication has to be better. If Leighton Baines is shy and does not
:33:15. > :33:19.communicate well on the pitch, the two centre-backs of the captain have
:33:20. > :33:23.to get people into possession. We have got the second have to look
:33:24. > :33:30.forward to. The Ivory Coast players are in the tunnel and getting a last
:33:31. > :33:34.team talk from the culture. They need to for a little bit more in
:33:35. > :33:41.this second-half. It looks like Lafarge E. I do not know if it is
:33:42. > :34:00.fitness or if it is because they won the first game. They have to try
:34:01. > :34:06.Colombia some damage. -- lethargy. Colombia should be satisfied with
:34:07. > :34:25.most of the Foster. Right now, a draw is good for them. Sometimes
:34:26. > :34:31.when you got all of the possession, all of the play, and all of the
:34:32. > :34:42.chances, going in at half-time 0-0 can put all of the pressure on you.
:34:43. > :34:45.Mentally it can put all of the pressure on you.
:34:46. > :34:49.throw things forward for the Ivory Coast because no matter what happens
:34:50. > :34:51.tonight in the other game, a draw will be at Loftus even get through
:34:52. > :35:06.in the next match. will be at Loftus even get through
:35:07. > :35:15.that Colombia will win this. You never change your mind.
:35:16. > :35:19.Thank you very much. No half-time substitutions here in Brasilia. Not
:35:20. > :35:29.yet. Didier Drogba is still substitutions here in Brasilia. Not
:35:30. > :35:33.and waiting. I would be surprised substitutions here in Brasilia. Not
:35:34. > :36:11.point. He has got 63 international point. He has got 63 international
:36:12. > :36:30.Boka was almost caught out there. Cuadrado will be with Fiorentina
:36:31. > :36:39.next season. His contract situation was sorted out.
:36:40. > :37:02.That was risky and Bamba got away with
:37:03. > :37:18.That was given away by Armero but it was our phone by Tiote. -- it was a
:37:19. > :37:22.free kick. He is no stranger to conceding a free kick or getting a
:37:23. > :37:36.yellow card. Howard Webb has given him a few over the past few years.
:37:37. > :37:54.A free kick has been given. I think that Gervinho was at full pace. It
:37:55. > :37:59.was an elbow. It was stuck out by Zapata. It was not the worst elbow
:38:00. > :38:00.you have ever seen but it still got a free kick. It had the desired
:38:01. > :38:17.effect. Yaya Toure has shown his excellence
:38:18. > :38:18.from set pieces many times. It is a long way out and it is straight into
:38:19. > :38:28.Ospina. You just wanted to slide that into
:38:29. > :39:18.his feet. That was good change of plea by
:39:19. > :39:21.Ibarbo but he just managed to get the ball stuck underneath. -- change
:39:22. > :40:07.of feet. Yepes is trying to say the Gervinho
:40:08. > :40:15.was diving for a penalty. That was good footwork. No contact. It was
:40:16. > :40:20.not a diet, he just overran the ball a little bit. -- it was not
:40:21. > :40:32.simulation. There are a lot of people who have
:40:33. > :40:37.not came back out for the second half.
:40:38. > :41:00.It is a bit like Wembley. It is like Wembley.
:41:01. > :41:03.That only needed a touch from Rodriguez and nearly got one from
:41:04. > :41:31.Gutierrez as well. Free Aguilar and Yaya Toure. He was
:41:32. > :41:36.waiting, waiting, waiting. He was trying to assess the situation. It
:41:37. > :41:53.is definitely a foul. Are we thinking left foot? Gervinho
:41:54. > :42:15.and Yaya Toure are overlooked. Boka is just behind them, the left-back.
:42:16. > :42:29.Keep your hands down says Howard Webb.
:42:30. > :42:40.That was well wide. 24 goals last season for Manchester City. There
:42:41. > :42:50.was a lot of them that came from free kicks. The Colombian wall had
:42:51. > :43:01.an extra man made even more difficult to swing that back in.
:43:02. > :43:31.Colombia are making a change here. It is an injury to Ibarbo. He is
:43:32. > :43:33.replaced by Juan Quintero. This is the first appearance of this World
:43:34. > :43:42.Cup for Juan Quintero. the first appearance of this World
:43:43. > :43:51.Cup for Juan He has started out in the Ibarbo possession. No Rodriguez
:43:52. > :44:42.has moved out of the. A free kick has been given for a foul by Bony.
:44:43. > :44:49.says no, Howard Webb says yes. It is a yellow card for Zokora and he will
:44:50. > :45:06.not play in the last group game. He has gambled. His
:45:07. > :45:10.not play in the last group game. He impending suspension is all
:45:11. > :45:11.not play in the last group game. He made the tackle when he did not have
:45:12. > :45:25.to. made the tackle when he did not have
:45:26. > :45:50.Colombia. The last two free kicks have been awful.
:45:51. > :45:57.way we are playing in yellow! The offside flag was up. Claiming the
:45:58. > :46:37.handball. The flag was up on the far side.
:46:38. > :46:50.That was a fabulous ball in from Yaya Toure, brilliant vision. That
:46:51. > :47:18.would have been some goal. We have hardly seen Rodriguez in the
:47:19. > :47:42.second half, he is tapped out on the left now.
:47:43. > :47:49.Their recovery from Yepes took it away from Max Gradel. This game is
:47:50. > :48:01.gradually beginning to swing in Ivory Coast's favour. It is indeed.
:48:02. > :48:04.He completely missed it. He loves a last-ditch tackle, Yepes. He needed
:48:05. > :48:41.one! That looked like handball and it is,
:48:42. > :49:42.by Wilfried Bony. Ivory Coast had to stand firm.
:49:43. > :49:50.Having looked slightly asleep at the beginning of the second half, they
:49:51. > :50:01.have exploded. Great play by Cuadrado. He slows Boka down. Didier
:50:02. > :50:20.Drogba is coming on any second now. The keeper got away with that.
:50:21. > :50:30.Like-for-like is it? Wilfried Bony. So he makes way and Didier Drogba
:50:31. > :50:37.comes on for Ivory Coast. Two World Cup goals on his CV, one in eight of
:50:38. > :50:42.the two World Cup he has played, both against South American sides,
:50:43. > :50:46.Argentina and Brazil. But both games were lost. He is a great defensive
:50:47. > :50:57.header of the ball as well. And there he is. He will do that all
:50:58. > :51:53.day long for you, won't he? Since that little bit of attacking
:51:54. > :51:59.play from Ivory Coast it has woken Columbia up. Cuadrado has had some
:52:00. > :52:29.game. The pace of the game is picking up
:52:30. > :53:03.now. Yes, definitely. And they have got a corner out of
:53:04. > :53:18.that. After defending their own free kick. He has hurt himself. I bet he
:53:19. > :53:47.will get up and carry on. It was a wonderful ball by Rodriguez.
:53:48. > :54:04.Oh and it into the roof of the James Rodriguez. The golden boy
:54:05. > :54:11.scores the first goal of the game. That is what you call a celebration.
:54:12. > :54:20.Of all the people you would not have expected him to score with a header.
:54:21. > :54:39.It was a good header, by the way, Steve. Bamber was in there as well.
:54:40. > :54:48.I think Bamber was in France and Didier Drogba was behind. People
:54:49. > :54:55.might be a bit disappointed. It was almost behind him when he got his
:54:56. > :55:07.hand on it. It would be a bit harsh to criticise the goalkeeper.
:55:08. > :55:12.Right, let's see what Ivory Coast have got. They have got Didier
:55:13. > :55:24.Drogba. He moves on to two goals in this
:55:25. > :55:36.World Cup. We saw in the first He moves on to two goals in this
:55:37. > :56:46.counterattack. Maybe a case of soak up a little pressure and bang.
:56:47. > :56:56.He has got a free kick and it is Didier Drogba's territory, or Yaya
:56:57. > :56:58.Toure's territory. And it is exactly in the middle of the goal. Now it
:56:59. > :57:08.Toure's territory. And it is exactly a battle of seniority. You
:57:09. > :57:28.Toure's territory. And it is exactly argue that Yaya Toure has taken one.
:57:29. > :57:40.Salomon Kalou is coming on for Max Gradel.
:57:41. > :57:50.This is a big moment now. Alarm bells undoubtedly ringing
:57:51. > :58:07.for Ospina in the Colombian goal. It does not look like the biggest
:58:08. > :58:25.wall. It was Yaya Toure and they are
:58:26. > :58:39.claiming it hit a hand. But Howard Webb was in a great position. He is
:58:40. > :58:39.claiming it hit a hand. But Howard saying, was there not a hand? Howard
:58:40. > :59:03.Webb always says Tuck your arms in. It was a good ball into Yaya Toure.
:59:04. > :00:04.A good response by Ivory Coast. Onside, Juan Quintero. 2-0 Colombia.
:00:05. > :00:10.They are a brilliant, quick counter attacking team. They do not need you
:00:11. > :00:15.to give the ball away but that is exactly what Ivory Coast did. That
:00:16. > :00:20.came from one of the worst corners that we have seen taking. Absolutely
:00:21. > :00:33.hopeless. It took so many people out of the game. Die was caught in
:00:34. > :00:38.possession by Rodriguez. By Juan Quintero scores his first ever
:00:39. > :00:40.international goal. Another substitute that comes on and gets a
:00:41. > :00:53.goal in this competition. They are going to make a change,
:00:54. > :01:09.Colombia. It was a change that they were going to make before the goal.
:01:10. > :01:16.Santiago Arias is ready to come on. He is a defender with PSV Eindhoven.
:01:17. > :01:22.That comes from nothing. Absolutely nothing. With all those big men in
:01:23. > :01:30.there as well, with Didier Drogba and everybody else. No Colombia have
:01:31. > :01:52.got a free kick for a foul on Gutierrez. It is Armero who is
:01:53. > :02:02.coming. That was the shot that looked like it hit an arm on the end
:02:03. > :02:13.of the wall. It is Santiago Arias replacing paddle on Merrill. --
:02:14. > :02:15.replacing Armero. Get a move on and he says. You are allowed to walk
:02:16. > :02:40.off, are you not? On comes he says. You are allowed to walk
:02:41. > :02:45.alias. -- Arias. To concede like that from your own corner, it was a
:02:46. > :03:02.very poor corner. And then they conceded possession. It was a
:03:03. > :03:09.suicide goal. Die is now coming off. Mathis Bolly of Fortuna Dusseldorf
:03:10. > :03:20.is his replacement. That particular horse has bolted. Unless Ivory Coast
:03:21. > :03:33.can get themselves on the scoreboard soon.
:03:34. > :03:47.a goal. Fantastic goal by Gervinho. Wonderful individual goal. You did
:03:48. > :03:54.say I'm less. And it happened. He went past three tackles at
:03:55. > :04:02.say I'm less. And it happened. He least. It is the first, the is the
:04:03. > :04:08.second, they could have gone over. He was skipping past players. We
:04:09. > :04:17.need to check the goalkeeper here. Could he have done better? I think
:04:18. > :04:22.if you get that big a handle on it you can keep it out, in all
:04:23. > :04:26.honestly. Their plea to Gervinho for staying on his feet when the
:04:27. > :04:30.defender made the tackle because he could've went down. He gets his
:04:31. > :04:34.reward with the goal that has celebrated the many thousands of
:04:35. > :04:36.Colombian supporters in this stadium. The complexion of this game
:04:37. > :05:02.has changed again. That was relatively comfortable for
:05:03. > :05:07.Barry. That might have been his worst cross of the game. That must
:05:08. > :05:18.surely give Ivory Coast some momentum.
:05:19. > :05:40.They were behind Japan and the one with some late goals. It was scored
:05:41. > :06:09.by Gervinho. I do not know why the goalkeeper decided to punch it.
:06:10. > :06:18.out the, Mark, Didier Drogba, Gervinho, Yaya Toure, they should
:06:19. > :07:07.have chances. They are Nervous now. That threat was hired
:07:08. > :07:15.by Yepes. Juan Quintero running into Yaya Toure. Didier Drogba is going
:07:16. > :07:18.to have a word about how high the boot of Yepes was. No arguments
:07:19. > :07:38.about that. It is
:07:39. > :08:12.will never get the Spain versus Netherlands match in this World Cup.
:08:13. > :08:21.Didier Drogba, just too high. He managed to get in front of Yepes. I
:08:22. > :08:25.am surprised he did not get anything on it at all. It seemed to have
:08:26. > :08:35.am surprised he did not get anything name written all over it, that
:08:36. > :08:52.The keeper is going to disappointed. He needs to be
:08:53. > :08:57.stronger. I think if you scored past him like that in training then he
:08:58. > :09:18.would be upset. It is a change for Colombia. Aguilar is
:09:19. > :09:22.would be upset. It is a change for midfield. It is Alexander Mejia that
:09:23. > :09:29.comes on he is one of the few players are pleased on his own
:09:30. > :09:33.country. -- he is one of the few players that plays his football in
:09:34. > :10:01.his own country. Colombia are happy with that. He
:10:02. > :10:10.seemed to be on his heels. He did not expect it. He just stood and
:10:11. > :10:37.watched. He might not be up to the peace of the game yet. -- pace.
:10:38. > :10:55.Salomon Kalou threw himself at it and Colombia got away with it.
:10:56. > :11:05.That was a big tackle. It is a corner kick and it would have been
:11:06. > :11:30.worse if he got that wrong. Colombia gave the ball away in midfield.
:11:31. > :11:34.That was a tremendous defensive header from Yepes. It was and he was
:11:35. > :11:57.facing his own goalmouth. That was a cross from Aurier and
:11:58. > :12:21.Ospina clutches it. This could be a great last ten minutes, actually.
:12:22. > :12:27.That touch was so important to take it away from Gervinho but the flag
:12:28. > :12:58.was up on this site so it would not count. Not that home and knew about
:12:59. > :13:23.it. -- Zuniga. Sabri Lamouchi, can his team turn this around?
:13:24. > :13:42.Colombia 's throat deep inside their own half. -- throw in.
:13:43. > :13:52.Again Ivory Coast winning it back almost straightaway.
:13:53. > :14:01.That was ahead by Bony and it was not a bad idea. The ball that
:14:02. > :14:08.Colombia played, they played it into the middle which is a strange thing
:14:09. > :14:12.to do with only minutes to go. Seven minutes might not seem too much but
:14:13. > :14:24.it does feel like a long time to Colombia. And there is 30 seconds
:14:25. > :15:20.per substitution as well. We have had all changes from both sides.
:15:21. > :15:21.was a good block. There are five Colombians now on the wrong side of
:15:22. > :15:36.the ball. He did not really catch that. Now,
:15:37. > :15:54.they did not. I think he changed his mind halfway through. Yepes has his
:15:55. > :15:58.arm raised and coming to the bench. He is now down. They cannot do much
:15:59. > :16:05.about it because they have made obvious substitutions. They need to
:16:06. > :16:15.get the doctor out. He has had his knee. He has taken a strike on his
:16:16. > :16:24.knee. He is tough though. They will need him over how other added time
:16:25. > :16:39.that is. -- they will need him for how much added time is added on. He
:16:40. > :16:46.is going to carry on. Worry how much added time is added on. He
:16:47. > :17:06.the aches and pains in the morning. There is still something there for
:17:07. > :17:23.the taking for Sabri Lamouchi and the Ivory Coast. Yepes is back on.
:17:24. > :18:04.Gingerly. That have been a yellow card. Howard
:18:05. > :18:06.Webb is going to settle on a free kick. He absolutely did him for
:18:07. > :19:29.pace. That was not the worst idea because
:19:30. > :19:34.Barry had come a long way out. Colombia have a man down on this
:19:35. > :19:43.nearside. Salomon Kalou is not interested in that. Whistling with
:19:44. > :19:48.Cuadrado down. It is not a head injury. They can go on if they want.
:19:49. > :19:56.Now Howard Webb has blown his whistle. They could have played on.
:19:57. > :20:04.The reason he is going to get a yellow is because of the challenge.
:20:05. > :20:07.The reason he is going to get a But Howard Webb played advantage. I
:20:08. > :20:22.am a little bit surprised he did not come back and let the boy have some
:20:23. > :20:35.treatment. That is the wrong one and the clue is he is in green.
:20:36. > :20:49.How much added time do you reckon, Mark? I am going six. I think Sabri
:20:50. > :20:56.Lamouchi might be unhappy if it is not more than that. It is four. He
:20:57. > :21:01.is going to be unhappy with that. He has not seen it yet. He has seen it
:21:02. > :21:06.now and he is jumping around like mad. There is an argument about
:21:07. > :21:14.where they kicked the ball out. This is tricky. The Ivory Coast are
:21:15. > :21:18.unhappy, first with the award of only four added minutes, and I do
:21:19. > :21:23.not think that is a reflection of the second half. Then he tried to
:21:24. > :21:38.get Cuadrado to his feet and he would not get to his feet. Is he
:21:39. > :21:46.letting Columbia do it again? It is going to be a drop ball. A throw in.
:21:47. > :22:08.He is letting the dropped balls stand.
:22:09. > :22:21.Yepes took a knock as well. He is checking that his fillings are all
:22:22. > :22:25.right! Columbia are nearly there, the three points that will get them
:22:26. > :22:43.to within a hair's Brett of qualification.
:22:44. > :22:49.And Didier Drogba cannot quite get there quick enough. That was a great
:22:50. > :22:59.starting position there quick enough. That was a great
:23:00. > :23:11.danger. Arias cannot handle Serge Aurier. I am not sure if
:23:12. > :23:16.danger. Arias cannot handle Serge Aurier is really quick or Arias is
:23:17. > :23:28.really slow. A bit of both. I think so. Ivory Coast looked dead and
:23:29. > :23:33.buried. They have done everything but find the equaliser here.
:23:34. > :24:22.Cuadrado is still full of running. A minimum of four added minutes was
:24:23. > :24:34.shown. Howard Webb can play more if he wants. I am not sure that was a
:24:35. > :24:48.foul. I think he gambles, Yepes. I think he just gambles. He does. He
:24:49. > :24:50.is urging the Colombian fans to their feet and they respond. Four
:24:51. > :24:59.minutes have been played. their feet and they respond. Four
:25:00. > :25:07.ready to sprint onto the pitch. And there they go. Columbia have done
:25:08. > :25:15.it. They will go through if Japan do not beat Greece in this evening's
:25:16. > :25:21.game. Quintero with what proved to be the winner. Rodriguez with the
:25:22. > :25:26.next, Gervinho with the best, but Columbia have won the game despite
:25:27. > :25:30.the comeback from Ivory Coast to deserve great credit. But maybe over
:25:31. > :25:41.the 90 minutes the more dangerous team has won.
:25:42. > :25:45.Terrific stuff, love this World Cup. That victory puts Columbia in a
:25:46. > :25:50.commanding position in Group C. They will go through to the last 16 if
:25:51. > :25:52.Japan failed to win. Otherwise they will just have to avoid a heavy
:25:53. > :26:08.defeat in their final game. I told you at half-time they would
:26:09. > :26:13.play for a draw! I thought the first 30 minutes were good, but in the
:26:14. > :26:19.second half at the end it was end to end stuff. Columbia were better
:26:20. > :26:24.players, but Ivory Coast came back into it and they had a lot of
:26:25. > :26:31.pressure in the last 20 minutes. One clear-cut chance, but they had the
:26:32. > :26:38.best one. Both teams went for it, Thierry, especially after the first
:26:39. > :26:46.goal. This was a funny delivery from Cuadrado and what a header.
:26:47. > :26:56.It was the kind of header that Didier Drogba would do. Yes, it was.
:26:57. > :27:00.He is one of the smaller players, said they will be disappointed. He
:27:01. > :27:06.was one of the best players on the pitch because he did really well,
:27:07. > :27:10.but they will still be disappointed. Look at that, it is fabulous.
:27:11. > :27:18.England will struggle to do that one. And then it wasn't long before
:27:19. > :27:30.it was 2-0. It was one. And then it wasn't long before
:27:31. > :27:37.kick Mark Lawrenson had ever seen and that was a turbulent past. But
:27:38. > :27:43.they win it back. The ball in is not the best, but it was a good finish,
:27:44. > :27:50.Danny. It was a good finish. There was good pressing. And just as he
:27:51. > :27:58.comes out, he played it perfect timing. The substitute Quintero came
:27:59. > :28:00.on and did some positive things. He made a difference. At that stage we
:28:01. > :28:07.were thinking this is made a difference. At that stage we
:28:08. > :28:10.could not see Ivory Coast coming back into the game and then suddenly

:28:18. > :28:26.not see too much of it when he was at Arsenal! This was special. He has
:28:27. > :28:32.this in his locker. What a finish. I can only see six defensive mistakes
:28:33. > :28:39.to be fair, but that is nit-picking. It was a great run. The only thing
:28:40. > :28:44.you can question in this situation is the goalkeeper could have done a
:28:45. > :28:51.better job. It was on his near post and he gets a good hand to it. Now
:28:52. > :28:56.they are back in the game and the last 15 minutes were great. Great
:28:57. > :29:17.pressure, great excitement and the best
:29:18. > :29:26.That is what he should have done. What about this? This was
:29:27. > :29:38.spectacular. Did he really mean this? It would have been a great
:29:39. > :29:44.goal. He would've claimed it and said that he had meant it. So would
:29:45. > :30:07.I. It was eating pasta game of football. The best team won. -- it
:30:08. > :30:11.was an exciting game of football. We need to worry about Uruguay force.
:30:12. > :30:12.was an exciting game of football. We That brings us perfectly to the
:30:13. > :30:17.England team arriving That brings us perfectly to the
:30:18. > :30:18.They'd is Steven Gerrard, the captain. That is a big play for him
:30:19. > :30:24.captain. That is a big play for him because they lost the first game.
:30:25. > :30:29.Tonight 's result is absolutely vital. Letters here from Gabby
:30:30. > :30:37.Wolverton -- Abbey Logan and Phil Neville. It is the same starting
:30:38. > :30:40.team that lead against Italy. Letters talk about defence. Steven
:30:41. > :30:46.Gerrard said that this team -- the scheme will be one in defence. I
:30:47. > :30:50.agree. The full-backs have got big responsibility, big jobs to do. They
:30:51. > :30:56.did not take responsibility against Italy. Cavani On the left will be,
:30:57. > :31:07.he is back and strong. Steven Gerrard plays very deep and
:31:08. > :31:15.we do not see those marauding runs for what any more. I think Wayne
:31:16. > :31:18.Rooney dropping back will add some thickness to midfield. It'll allow
:31:19. > :31:25.Steven Gerrard to have more touches on the ball. He can dictate the play
:31:26. > :31:32.like he with Liverpool. Lewis Suarez starts 28 days after his operation
:31:33. > :31:38.on his knee. How can he be fit? I cannot see him being match fit. He
:31:39. > :31:43.will only play 70 minutes. He did not come on in the last game. That
:31:44. > :31:50.tells a lot -- tells you a lot about the state of his fitness. As we look
:31:51. > :31:55.around one hour before kick-off. There are plenty of blue shots. Lots
:31:56. > :32:01.of fans from Uruguay and three officials from Spain. They say that
:32:02. > :32:06.they are the underdogs. It does not feel like it? They outnumber ours
:32:07. > :32:13.and it is the officials that one -- that worry me. Spanish-speaking,
:32:14. > :32:19.same language. Can the pressure the referee? We cannot fall for the
:32:20. > :32:28.antics of Uruguay. They will try to wind is up, especially Rooney. Can
:32:29. > :32:34.we do it? Two - one England. He is a confirmation of the change -- of the
:32:35. > :32:39.England team. We will expect the Rooney will play in number ten
:32:40. > :32:52.position up front. Uruguay will be in a 4-4-2 formation. I think
:32:53. > :32:55.England will win. I was disappointed in Uruguay. England played well
:32:56. > :33:02.against Italy going forward. Very briefly? It will be a struggle. I
:33:03. > :33:12.agree completely. I like your confidence. That is everything from
:33:13. > :33:15.ours. We have enjoyed an absolute cracker. We will be back later
:33:16. > :33:21.tonight for all of the analysis of England match.
:33:22. > :33:32.You cannot come away from the fact that defeats another positive. You
:33:33. > :33:39.lose the first game then you probably have to win the next two.
:33:40. > :33:43.Our fate is in our hands. If we beat Uruguay we have got a chance. Does
:33:44. > :33:52.Wayne Rooney give you a headache? There's a fixation on one player. I
:33:53. > :33:58.want us to win and I want us to play attacking football. If England lose,
:33:59. > :34:04.that's it.
