Greece v Ivory Coast

:01:02. > :01:02.World Cup with a goalless draw against Costa Rica,

:01:03. > :01:07.World Cup with a goalless draw against but the big story is that in

:01:08. > :01:11.this key game between Italy and Uruguay Luis Suarez appears once

:01:12. > :01:21.again to have sunk his teeth into an opponent, with Giorgio Chiellini on

:01:22. > :01:33.the receiving end. I cannot believe it, he has done it again. It is

:01:34. > :01:34.Diego Godin, is that the goal which sends Uruguay into the knockout

:01:35. > :01:49.stages? Would you believe it? Uruguay

:01:50. > :01:52.through to the second round, but we wait to hear the ramifications on

:01:53. > :01:57.the byte by Luis Suarez which went unpunished by the referee. With us

:01:58. > :02:03.today Alan Shearer, Danny Murphy and Robbie Savage. Of all the things to

:02:04. > :02:09.do, you would think the one thing they must not do is bite someone?

:02:10. > :02:14.Staggering, I could not believe it. When we saw the pictures. The

:02:15. > :02:21.pictures are pretty damning. If he is found guilty they should hammer

:02:22. > :02:29.him. He has built up his reputation over the last 12 months because of

:02:30. > :02:32.something very, very similar with Branislav Ivanovic. To come into

:02:33. > :02:39.this tournament and do that, I am lost for words. It is staggering.

:02:40. > :02:44.Found guilty at Ajax and that Liverpool. If he is bound guilty

:02:45. > :02:51.here then he should be hammered. That is pretty clear isn't it? It is

:02:52. > :02:58.not like he has had anything done to him that is that bad, it is a

:02:59. > :03:06.shoulder. A tiny trigger, this same with Ivanovic. A little thing sets

:03:07. > :03:10.him off. We have been chatting about it and cannot think of words to

:03:11. > :03:18.describe how bad his behaviour is and what will happen next we will

:03:19. > :03:23.have to wait and see. We saw earlier in the game, they clattered into him

:03:24. > :03:27.a few times the defenders, but to react like that is a disgrace. On

:03:28. > :03:33.world stage, he should never play international football again. I have

:03:34. > :03:37.got a reaction from Giorgio Chiellini which says that after the

:03:38. > :03:42.game, he said it was ridiculous not to send Luis Suarez off, it is clear

:03:43. > :03:48.cut and there was the obvious dive after words because he knew he had

:03:49. > :03:52.done something he should not have. I can understand why the referee has

:03:53. > :03:56.not seen it clearly, it is difficult and he has got a hard enough job,

:03:57. > :04:01.but they can look at it, look at video evidence. This is pretty

:04:02. > :04:12.damning. For me there is no way they can get away with it. We initially

:04:13. > :04:20.thought it was a head-butt. But when you saw the pictures down and you

:04:21. > :04:25.see him, going to the shoulder. We saw it on Ivanovic, Chelsea against

:04:26. > :04:34.Liverpool. This is the third time, a few years ago and Holland and

:04:35. > :04:40.against Ivanovic. If you watch this year, he did exactly the same thing

:04:41. > :04:49.to day, he feigns injury. To try and deflect, to take away, the referee

:04:50. > :04:53.from making a decision. We have looked that it enough times over the

:04:54. > :05:03.past few months. To do it again, what on earth is he thinking? It was

:05:04. > :05:09.0-0 at that time, not long to go, he was getting frustrated, and he wants

:05:10. > :05:13.to bite people when he goes mad. I think there is something not quite

:05:14. > :05:18.right with them, and I mean that in the nicest way, I think something

:05:19. > :05:22.triggers and he can't control it. I think in the celebrations after

:05:23. > :05:31.words he was a bit sheepish as if it had sunk in. He was in tears after

:05:32. > :05:37.they beat England but today that this spot on, he was subdued in his

:05:38. > :05:44.celebrations because he realises what he has done. He must do

:05:45. > :05:49.otherwise he would be going berserk with the celebrations. You have

:05:50. > :05:54.already said that you think he should be banned for life, from

:05:55. > :06:06.international football, but this is what Fifa RCN which is not munch --

:06:07. > :06:09.RCN. We are awaiting the official match report and will gather all the

:06:10. > :06:17.necessary elements. What do you think they should do? Rebates and

:06:18. > :06:29.you are out. LAUGHTER -- three bytes. We should not be

:06:30. > :06:35.laughing, it is disgusting. Seven games at Ajax, ten games at

:06:36. > :06:42.Liverpool, give him as much as possible. We are not sure if it can

:06:43. > :06:45.transfer between international and club football. But I don't think

:06:46. > :06:52.anyone will be coming in to buy him after this. I think they well, I

:06:53. > :06:58.think the big hitters, Real Madrid or Barcelona, would still come in

:06:59. > :07:02.for him. With what he has achieved and the ability that he has, there

:07:03. > :07:09.is always someone prepared to take a gamble. Handball in the last

:07:10. > :07:11.tournament and his team qualified, that is acceptable because everyone

:07:12. > :07:22.would do it, but not that, disgraceful. The main focus tonight

:07:23. > :07:27.is on the conclusion of Group C we are all 4-mac teams still have the

:07:28. > :07:29.chance to qualify -- we are all four teams still have the chance to

:07:30. > :07:48.qualify. It has crept in. What a start for

:07:49. > :07:53.Colombia. Greece, well beaten. The first ever competitive meeting

:07:54. > :08:03.between these two nations. Honda, chants, goal, Japan in front. On the

:08:04. > :08:08.end of it, Wilfried Bony. It is a winning start for the Ivory Coast.

:08:09. > :08:23.Almost certain qualification there for the taking. It is into the roof

:08:24. > :08:31.of the net. James Rodriguez. 2-0 Colombia. Wonderful individual goal.

:08:32. > :08:40.Colombia have done it, they will go through if Japan do not beat Greece.

:08:41. > :08:51.A total lack of discipline. The goalkeeper had to make a great save.

:08:52. > :08:54.What a horrible mess. Colombia are already through and made a point

:08:55. > :09:02.against Japan to win the group. Victory over Greece guarantees Ivory

:09:03. > :09:06.Coast a place in the last 16. Japan or Greece can still qualify if the

:09:07. > :09:11.win and goal difference goes their way. It is one of those groups,

:09:12. > :09:14.Colombia have dominated and have been very impressive with a great

:09:15. > :09:20.following, but to go through with them appears to be the big question.

:09:21. > :09:24.I think Colombia have been really impressive without Radamel Falcao.

:09:25. > :09:34.Rodriguez has stepped up and taken his place, laid really, really well.

:09:35. > :09:37.-- played. I have been very disappointed with Greece, cannot

:09:38. > :09:45.keep clean sheets and cannot score goals. Ivory Coast probably best

:09:46. > :09:54.placed, they are best placed. Yes, but they have been disappointing as

:09:55. > :09:57.well. Even in the game where they came back to beat Japan it was only

:09:58. > :10:05.really in the latter stages that they seemed to up it again. They

:10:06. > :10:09.have had problems with the death of the brother of Yaya Toure and Kolo

:10:10. > :10:16.Toure, but I expect them to step up to the plate. Good to see him, he

:10:17. > :10:20.changed the game when he came on. Subdued entrance from the players as

:10:21. > :10:25.you might expect under the circumstances yes, terrible

:10:26. > :10:32.circumstances, terrible, sad news of the death. You have to applaud them

:10:33. > :10:40.for still being here and being prepared to come out and play. The

:10:41. > :10:42.performances of Colombia have impressed one of their greatest

:10:43. > :10:51.players who has been talking to Dan Walker. How impressed have you been

:10:52. > :10:54.with Colombia? TRANSLATION: The people who came are happy because

:10:55. > :10:59.they go to the stadium and they enjoy themselves. The most beautiful

:11:00. > :11:04.thing is that things are going well, scoring goals and qualifying.

:11:05. > :11:09.What about the situation in the group, how do you see that going

:11:10. > :11:15.into the final game? We have never won one game after another, it is a

:11:16. > :11:21.great satisfaction and our country is happy. How far can Colombia go at

:11:22. > :11:25.this World Cup? I am very optimistic for the team that we have and the

:11:26. > :11:30.way we are playing. The way things are going we could be the surprise

:11:31. > :11:34.of the World Cup. You're here made you instantly recognisable around

:11:35. > :11:38.the world, have you ever been tempted to change it? I have not

:11:39. > :11:44.yet, it is shorter now because I am older and I don't think I will be

:11:45. > :11:50.cutting it off for a long time. The Ivory Coast hoping to reach the last

:11:51. > :11:56.16 for the first time tonight in Fortaleza where Jason Mohammed has

:11:57. > :12:01.been out amongst the supporters. The supporters are very noisy, I have

:12:02. > :12:13.managed to find a very interesting Ivory Coast supporter, where are you

:12:14. > :12:17.from? I am from Brazil. Here are the Greek supporters looking

:12:18. > :12:24.magnificent. Let's start with you, where are you from? I am from the

:12:25. > :12:37.South of France. I am for Greece because my family is great. Big up

:12:38. > :12:43.to my family, and I love Drogba. Is there a real feeling that Greece can

:12:44. > :12:47.make the last 16? We are sure about that, we have the best defence in

:12:48. > :12:58.the world. We will score one goal and go through. Are you feeling

:12:59. > :13:22.confident? Of course. The viewers at home what your best song. -- want.

:13:23. > :13:32.I think we have got the drift. We want you to have your say on which

:13:33. > :13:35.team you think will join Colombia in the last 16 by voting on the life

:13:36. > :13:56.page on the website. A reminder that you're on BBC1 we

:13:57. > :14:01.will be showing the game between Greece and Ivory Coast which kicks

:14:02. > :14:08.off at 9pm. We have live coverage of Colombia and Japan over on BBC Three

:14:09. > :14:14.from half past eight. But first let's reflect on this afternoon 's

:14:15. > :14:18.action, with Costa Rica already through and England out the game

:14:19. > :14:22.which mattered was Italy against Uruguay in Natal. The Italians

:14:23. > :14:34.needed a draw to go through and Uruguay had to win. Commentary by

:14:35. > :14:45.Kevin Kilbane and Steve Bower. Cesare Prandelli makes three

:14:46. > :14:49.changes, Verratti is recalled. Immobile is paired with Mario

:14:50. > :14:54.Balotelli. Uruguay named the same team that beat England. Luis Suarez

:14:55. > :14:58.says he's feeling fitter and stronger, and looks to build on five

:14:59. > :15:04.goals in seven World Cup appearances alongside Edinson Cavani. The last

:15:05. > :15:08.time these two nations met at a World Cup, it was in the last 16,

:15:09. > :15:14.this match will decide who progresses to that stage. Kevin

:15:15. > :15:19.Kilbane, which side are you airing Totti going for? You have two back

:15:20. > :15:31.Italy to get the points which they need for this game. -- you have too.

:15:32. > :15:37.The onus is on Nicolas Lodeiro to get close to Pirlo. It was not

:15:38. > :15:42.convincing, just about effective from the Uruguayan keeper. We saw it

:15:43. > :15:51.against England, look at the swerve, wonderful strike from Pirlo. The 28

:15:52. > :15:54.UL goalkeeper, mightily relieved. The onus is on Uruguay, they had to

:15:55. > :16:06.win the game. Balotelli involved again. -- 28-year-old. Mario

:16:07. > :16:20.Balotelli will receive a yellow card, if Italy get into the last 16,

:16:21. > :16:24.Super Mario will not be involved. Balotelli has stayed down after that

:16:25. > :16:35.challenge. Uruguay play on with Rodriguez. Pereira in support. They

:16:36. > :16:45.are trying to find Suarez, playing the one, two, Buffon comes out to

:16:46. > :16:52.deny him. And the second time. A big pat on the back from Bonucci. Really

:16:53. > :16:58.in play, Suarez makes things happen. Lovely little one, two. Good

:16:59. > :17:06.goalkeeping from Buffon, especially the follow-up from Lodeiro.

:17:07. > :17:10.Balotelli can only watch on, to see whether his team can get into the

:17:11. > :17:14.last 16, and then book a quarterfinal berth, where he would

:17:15. > :17:21.return. Rodriguez has been lively for Uruguay. Being chased by

:17:22. > :17:25.Marchisio. He has got there. The clearest opportunity let for

:17:26. > :17:36.Atletico Madrid's Cristian Rodriguez. -- opportunity yet. A big

:17:37. > :17:43.chance, lovely little one, two. He has to hit the target. Eight

:17:44. > :17:49.international goals, what an opportunity to add to those. Will

:17:50. > :17:53.Uruguay look back on that moment? I think Uruguay have two push on now.

:17:54. > :18:04.They have to try and force the issue. Marchisio. It is a red card,

:18:05. > :18:08.right in front of the referee. Marco Rodriguez, the Mexican official,

:18:09. > :18:14.showing a straight red card to Claudio Marchisio. Italy are down to

:18:15. > :18:20.ten men. We have seen it coming. Marchisio over the top of the ball,

:18:21. > :18:28.the referee is right on the spot, and having words. You always felt

:18:29. > :18:34.this was not going to 11 against 11. He was trying to get his body

:18:35. > :18:40.across, to protect the ball. Over the top. The referee was one yard

:18:41. > :18:45.away. We have seen that coming. This has been bubbling over constantly

:18:46. > :18:53.during the first half. One or two challenges have been going in,

:18:54. > :18:58.Marchisio the victim. Will this be coming to an end for Italy? Not as

:18:59. > :19:12.it stands. Here is Suarez, to Cavani, Suarez takes charge. Buffon

:19:13. > :19:18.takes -- makes the save. A good save, little ricochet getting in

:19:19. > :19:24.through. Suarez, the outside of his right foot, good save down to his

:19:25. > :19:29.right, from Buffon. A strong arm. Brilliant save. In his fifth World

:19:30. > :19:42.Cup, Italy's most capped player keeps it at 0-0. Martin to Sarah 's.

:19:43. > :19:50.-- Caceres. Italy are back in numbers. Ten men, Suarez lifting it

:19:51. > :19:56.to Gonzales. Christian Stuani. Cavani. Two players have gone down

:19:57. > :20:02.in the penalty area. Chiellini and Suarez renewing acquaintances.

:20:03. > :20:13.Well, Luis Suarez is a very, very lucky man. No wonder Chiellini was

:20:14. > :20:18.upset with that. I cannot believe it! He has done it again! He has bit

:20:19. > :20:24.in Chiellini, absolutely incredible. Look at Chiellini! Taking his shirt

:20:25. > :20:36.off, to show the scar to the referee. He has bitten him. He is

:20:37. > :20:42.outraged. It is even -- Branislav Ivanovic all over again.

:20:43. > :20:48.Unbelievable the Mexican officials did not see the incident. It is like

:20:49. > :20:54.the World Cup, Zidane getting sent off. They should use technology

:20:55. > :21:01.committee should be off there, Luis Suarez incredibly lucky. Will Suarez

:21:02. > :21:08.be involved in some way. Chiellini, did that strike his hand? The

:21:09. > :21:15.referee did not. It has been boiling over, the whole game. Uruguay get a

:21:16. > :21:31.corner. Gaston Ramirez is going to deliver. Up goes the heads, Derek

:21:32. > :21:40.says, it is Diego Godin, the Uruguayan captain, to beat Buffon,

:21:41. > :21:48.and put Uruguay front. -- there it is. Uruguay going to the knockout

:21:49. > :21:56.stages, Italy are going home. A great header, it really was.

:21:57. > :22:02.Downward header, Buffon no chance. It is off his shoulder, actually, he

:22:03. > :22:07.turned his back on it. Sheer commitment, going in off the back.

:22:08. > :22:11.Oscar Tabarez celebrates, the man who scored in the Champions League

:22:12. > :22:17.final for Atletico Madrid might just got his country into the last 16.

:22:18. > :22:28.You just wonder, if Uruguay go through, will we see Suarez in this

:22:29. > :22:39.tournament again? Bhave to do something. -- FIFA have to do

:22:40. > :22:44.something. Understandably all the Italian staff are very upset about

:22:45. > :22:51.it. Are we to witness a piece of Pirlo magic? Just wide. I think they

:22:52. > :22:54.want to remove one of the Italian coaching staff for offering his

:22:55. > :23:02.opinion about the Suarez incident. One of Prandelli's staff sent off.

:23:03. > :23:09.Uruguay, quite clearly indicating the five added minutes are up. The

:23:10. > :23:13.semifinalists of four years ago, Uruguay, are through to the last 16.

:23:14. > :23:18.All the headlines you will read about, will once again be

:23:19. > :23:28.surrounding Luis Suarez, the uglier side of his game on show. It is

:23:29. > :23:34.Uruguay who progress. Italy 0-1 Uruguay.

:23:35. > :23:39.After the game, the Italian coach, Prandelli offered his resignation, I

:23:40. > :23:45.am not sure if it has been accepted. For the second time running, Italy

:23:46. > :23:55.go out of the group stage. Yes, they did not offer a great deal. Uruguay

:23:56. > :23:59.sat in, frustrated them. Pirlo shined against England, did not

:24:00. > :24:06.shine today. If you missed it, we showed the bite, quite closely,

:24:07. > :24:12.worth having another look. For people who have just come in. Quite

:24:13. > :24:18.a staggering story. Danny? What he does here, for no reason, sinking

:24:19. > :24:23.his teeth into the shoulder of Chiellini, he tries to get him off,

:24:24. > :24:27.then he plays the victim, which we have seen before. The boy who cried

:24:28. > :24:33.wolf, we did not believe that straightaway. There is absolutely no

:24:34. > :24:39.excuse for that, no matter what has been said before... That is the

:24:40. > :24:47.clearest shot. The worst thing is playing the victim. He goes down

:24:48. > :24:55.holding his teeth. In the context of the game... Yes, the referee did not

:24:56. > :25:00.see it, we understand that. He should have gone, that would have

:25:01. > :25:07.levelled it up. Buffon had made a good save against him. 5-6 minutes

:25:08. > :25:10.earlier. It is obvious, when things are going against him, they are run

:25:11. > :25:20.their way out of the World Cup, he lost it. He should play with that

:25:21. > :25:38.around his mouth. FIFA and use retrospective action, torso and

:25:39. > :25:39.brings -- Frings. The executive committee can examine serious

:25:40. > :25:44.incidents which have escaped the referee's attention. They have that

:25:45. > :25:53.area where they can come in and do something. Serious was the word. It

:25:54. > :25:57.was serious. Ironically, two minutes later, Uruguay scored the winning

:25:58. > :26:05.goal. A fantastic header from Diego Godin. I'm surprised the Italians

:26:06. > :26:10.had nobody on the post. I'm sure if someone was on there, they may have

:26:11. > :26:16.cleared it away. He has done before, any Champions League final,

:26:17. > :26:21.against Barcelona, he is a threat, he has got the goal. You could make

:26:22. > :26:27.the argument he should not have been playing, if he had got the two

:26:28. > :26:33.yellow cards against England. Let's remember, the Italians only needed a

:26:34. > :26:37.draw, the indiscipline with the sending-off, that has cost them. You

:26:38. > :26:42.can blame Suarez, he should have been playing, you shouldn't, but if

:26:43. > :26:46.you cannot control your own players, you had to look at it. A

:26:47. > :26:51.chance to see how England fared against Costa Rica in Belo

:26:52. > :26:59.Horizonte. Commentary comes courtesy of Philip Neville and Guy Mowbray.

:27:00. > :27:04.Welcome to Belo Horizonte, the scene of one of England's most talked

:27:05. > :27:11.about the feet in their history, 1950, around half an hour's drive

:27:12. > :27:17.from here. They lost to an amateur team from the United States. 64

:27:18. > :27:22.years on, the idea was to come here and lay the ghost. Instead, Roy

:27:23. > :27:26.Hodgson's team is in danger of creating more history as the first

:27:27. > :27:31.England side to bow out of the World Cup having lost every game. Glorious

:27:32. > :27:39.sunshine for England's not so glorious farewell. Costa Rica may

:27:40. > :27:41.have a ready qualified, they show how seriously they want to win by

:27:42. > :28:02.making any two changes. Kristian Belin. Bryan Ruiz and Joel

:28:03. > :28:08.Campbell have made their mark on the world stage with goals against Italy

:28:09. > :28:14.and Uruguay. Roy Hodgson makes nine changes from the Uruguay game. And

:28:15. > :28:18.the Gary Cahill and Daniel Sturridge are staying in to become ever

:28:19. > :28:28.presents. With the exception of Frank Lampard, it is a games into a

:28:29. > :28:47.different era. -- a glimpse. Ben Foster plays in place of Joe Hart.

:28:48. > :28:52.Costa Rica and making -- are making it three out of three, if they can.

:28:53. > :28:58.They did not close this shot down, Joel Campbell managing to fire it.

:28:59. > :29:04.He has done it against United in the Champions League. I think it was a

:29:05. > :29:09.deflection off Gary Cahill. I thought for a second it was going to

:29:10. > :29:21.go over Ben Foster. He was rooted to the ground. Here is Wilshere.

:29:22. > :29:27.Sturridge tissue. Only just wide, Navas was not exactly sure. Jack

:29:28. > :29:32.Wilshere surging forward, Daniel Sturridge did the keeper with his

:29:33. > :29:39.eyes. The first time we have seen Jack Wilshere open up his legs.

:29:40. > :29:49.Joel Campbell. Exchange is nicely. Caught in the middle of three. Happy

:29:50. > :29:57.to go to ground but no real dispute about the free kick. Triangle in

:29:58. > :30:07.midfield. I think it was Adam Lallana clipping his heels.

:30:08. > :30:15.Trying to cuddle one around, what a save that was, Ben Foster got across

:30:16. > :30:25.quite brilliantly. That is the side Ben Foster was at. Good save in the

:30:26. > :30:29.end by Ben Foster. Given away, won by Daniel Sturridge. Ross Barkley to

:30:30. > :30:34.his right, Jack Wilshere to his left, further left is James Milner.

:30:35. > :30:43.Ross Barkley is having to work hard. Now James Milner. Knocked down for

:30:44. > :30:48.Daniel Sturridge. Could not quite get a clear shot. Claiming he was

:30:49. > :30:56.fouled. The ball is in the hands of the law now of us. Daniel Sturridge

:30:57. > :31:01.appealing for the penalty. Frank Lampard, good running from Adam

:31:02. > :31:04.Lallana, well spotted by the England captain. Daniel Sturridge and James

:31:05. > :31:17.Milner in the box. Behind for a corner. This is his 50th game in

:31:18. > :31:24.charge in his second spell. Just over the bar from Daniel Sturridge.

:31:25. > :31:28.Lovely knock-back from Phil Jones. Daniel Sturridge pulled off his

:31:29. > :31:33.marker really well, just has to keep it down and guide it into the

:31:34. > :31:46.corner. So difficult to mark as a defender. All the way from Keylor

:31:47. > :31:52.Navas. That was very nearly farcical defending take two of the

:31:53. > :32:02.tournament. England get away with it right on the stroke of half-time.

:32:03. > :32:09.Here is Luke Shaw. Driving on. Has not done that too often. Had his arm

:32:10. > :32:18.pulled, he was dragged down, it will be in England free kick. A bit of

:32:19. > :32:29.October they are from Cristian Gamboa. -- a bit of a tug there.

:32:30. > :32:34.Luke Shaw. Can he have a go? It is deflected over to Daniel Sturridge.

:32:35. > :32:43.Out came Keylor Navas very quickly, smart goalkeeping. The first touch

:32:44. > :32:46.let him down. Got stuck under his foot. Goalkeeper came out quite and

:32:47. > :32:56.I think Daniel Sturridge will be disappointed with that first touch.

:32:57. > :33:01.-- came out quick. That is a better ball, Adam Lallana is onto it,

:33:02. > :33:08.Daniel Sturridge is waiting, Keylor Navas gatherers. He is a good

:33:09. > :33:13.goalkeeper. So quick. Great pass from Luke Shaw. Looked like a simple

:33:14. > :33:21.pass but Keylor Navas came off his line quick again. James Milner. Nice

:33:22. > :33:31.touch from Jack Wilshere to rank Lampard.

:33:32. > :33:39.Phil Jones has given it back to Bryan Ruiz. Now it is Christian

:33:40. > :33:47.Bolanos, he lets fly, well held Ben Foster. Phil Jones being too casual

:33:48. > :33:51.again. He has started the second half saw sloppily. Ben Foster has

:33:52. > :34:06.been outstanding in goal. Daniel Sturridge, did well, on for

:34:07. > :34:12.the return but he has been dead weight, not quite get the coral that

:34:13. > :34:16.he needed. Lovely exchange between Daniel Sturridge and Jack Wilshere.

:34:17. > :34:23.Wonderful weight on the pass back from Jack Wilshere. Simple pass,

:34:24. > :34:27.trying to pass it into the right-hand corner, had the

:34:28. > :34:28.goalkeeper beat. Has just been missing that final touch today,

:34:29. > :34:44.Daniel Sturridge. Raheem Sterling, nice bit of skill.

:34:45. > :34:50.Daniel Sturridge is down and the referee signals corner, England.

:34:51. > :35:02.Daniel Sturridge on his knees, turns and looks, little shake of the head.

:35:03. > :35:07.Tried to commit Gonzalez there. Roy Hodgson will be desperate for a win,

:35:08. > :35:12.to go home on that aeroplane tonight with at least three points to show

:35:13. > :35:17.for all that hard work. Such high expectations before the tournament

:35:18. > :35:21.that we could go a long way. Thought about the shot, now he does try to

:35:22. > :35:28.chip the goalkeeper, Keylor Navas has two tip it over the top. Clever

:35:29. > :35:33.bit of play from Wayne Rooney. That is the vision from Wayne Rooney, did

:35:34. > :35:41.not need to look up, knew the goalkeeper was off his line. He has

:35:42. > :35:53.been impressive today, Keylor Navas. Wayne Rooney. Pursued by Christian

:35:54. > :35:58.Bolanos. England free kick. Been disappointed with England's

:35:59. > :36:02.performance today. A queue forms right on the edge of the penalty

:36:03. > :36:07.area, the Costa Rica players trying to keep the England players as high

:36:08. > :36:15.from the goal as they can. Wayne Rooney cannot get onto it. Inches

:36:16. > :36:21.away from Wayne Rooney. The story of our World Cup, we have just not

:36:22. > :36:30.quite lived up to it. Just fill little bit short. -- fail. There is

:36:31. > :36:38.a message, the funny side being seen at least. Blasted away by Keylor

:36:39. > :36:45.Navas. The Costa Rican players punched the air. GU is around the

:36:46. > :36:50.stadium from people who wanted to see goals but have not seen any in

:36:51. > :36:55.Belo Horizonte. We knew England were going home anyway but they are going

:36:56. > :37:00.home without a win to their name. It is not England's story, it is Costa

:37:01. > :37:01.Rica 's. In a group with three former World Cup winners and they

:37:02. > :37:18.have only gone and won it. Italy out in the group stage for the

:37:19. > :37:23.second World Cup in succession. The first time England have finished

:37:24. > :37:28.bottom and winless since 1958. We will hear from Roy Hodgson later in

:37:29. > :37:33.the programme, but overall one point from three games, going home, very

:37:34. > :37:38.disappointing. Yes, not good enough at all to be honest. Created one or

:37:39. > :37:45.two chances to date that lacked the killer and spent. -- lacked the

:37:46. > :37:49.killer instinct. It is very difficult to take anything from the

:37:50. > :37:53.game today because Costa Rica, it was like a preseason friendly for

:37:54. > :37:58.them, they had qualified and did not want to get any injuries or sendings

:37:59. > :38:03.off. Played sensible football and did enough, but difficult to judge

:38:04. > :38:11.how good or per England where. -- pleura. --

:38:12. > :38:19.Daniel Sturridge was decent again without the final finish. I was

:38:20. > :38:23.pleased for Frank Lampard. I think he has given so much to England over

:38:24. > :38:28.the years, leading the country out in his last game was the right thing

:38:29. > :38:32.to do. Did he do the right thing Irving dies a game just because they

:38:33. > :38:37.came to the World Cup, or because others had not done what they were

:38:38. > :38:42.meant? He thinks that most of the guys who have played had a future so

:38:43. > :38:50.he has given them a chance. Jack Wilshere, Ross Barkley, Phil Jones

:38:51. > :38:55.could cement a place if he improves with Manchester United. I think he

:38:56. > :39:02.is trying to give them experience. Robbie you have quite a strong view

:39:03. > :39:06.on Roy Hodgson? I think managerial changes are needed, England in the

:39:07. > :39:12.same position tournament after tournament. Get a structure in place

:39:13. > :39:19.like other international countries, get other people involved. Get Gary

:39:20. > :39:23.Neville involved. If you have Glenn Hoddle at the top of the pyramid who

:39:24. > :39:27.is conducting it, getting a structure in place with every team

:39:28. > :39:31.playing the same. Implement a structure so every team can build of

:39:32. > :39:35.that. I think Roy Hodgson has gone to the tournament, does not know

:39:36. > :39:38.where to play his best player, Raheem Sterling has a great first

:39:39. > :39:43.game and he puts him out on the right in the second game. I think

:39:44. > :39:49.they have gone into a tournament again, but the wife he played Frank

:39:50. > :39:56.Lampard and James Milner today -- don't know why he played. There were

:39:57. > :40:00.not many complaints from people saying we should have brought

:40:01. > :40:06.different players. We brought the best players. The best players they

:40:07. > :40:13.have got and they are out with a whimper. Gary Neville is part of the

:40:14. > :40:18.setup. We will continue this argument later in the programme.

:40:19. > :40:23.More on England later but let's turn our attention to tonight 's games as

:40:24. > :40:27.Greece play Ivory Coast and Colombia meet Japan. The group winners will

:40:28. > :40:33.play Uruguay on Saturday whilst the runners up will play Costa Rica on

:40:34. > :40:42.Sunday. You can see Colombia against Japan on BBC Three. Colombia already

:40:43. > :40:48.proved but need a point to win the group, Japan have to win and hope.

:40:49. > :40:51.Here on BBC One the focus is on Greece against Ivory Coast. The

:40:52. > :40:55.Ivorian 's have never reached the second round of World Cup and now

:40:56. > :40:59.that Victor Vito night will guarantee qualification. The Greeks

:41:00. > :41:09.have to win and hope that Japan do not.

:41:10. > :41:18.Good evening, welcome back to Fortaleza for another Europe against

:41:19. > :41:28.Africa clash. Just a few days ago and almost beat Germany --

:41:29. > :41:36.Ivory Coast have gone for Didier Drogba and less Wilfried Bony on the

:41:37. > :41:41.bench, is that the correct call? -- left. Yes, it is very warm here and

:41:42. > :41:45.I think the older man will benefit from starting rather than coming on.

:41:46. > :41:49.Wilfried Bony will play some part, he is younger and fresher and can

:41:50. > :42:00.come on. Didier Drogba is the go to man. We expect to see Wilfried Bony

:42:01. > :42:06.at some point, if Greece have to face him and Didier Drogba how do

:42:07. > :42:10.you go about that? Gervinho is the standout player for me, he has been

:42:11. > :42:15.outstanding, he will be creating the chances. So many options, and Greece

:42:16. > :42:21.have to win tonight. One assumes they will come out and try to play.

:42:22. > :42:24.The Greek coach said he will not change the defence of approach but

:42:25. > :42:32.they have got to go out and win today? You are wondering who will

:42:33. > :42:37.score the goals, he has no option, not many options at the top of the

:42:38. > :42:45.team, Samaras might play up the top in a central position for once.

:42:46. > :42:47.Thank you, interesting, Fernando Santos the Greek coach said

:42:48. > :42:50.yesterday he would not be bothered by what happened in the other match

:42:51. > :42:55.and would prepare for this match like any other, going to bed early

:42:56. > :43:03.after a few cigarettes, obviously we don't endorse that lifestyle. If

:43:04. > :43:07.Ivory Coast are to qualify tonight a lot will hinge on the performance of

:43:08. > :43:15.Kolo Toure and Yaya Toure who are playing despite the death of the

:43:16. > :43:18.brother. Dan Walker reports. Representing your country at the

:43:19. > :43:22.World Cup is meant to be the pinnacle of our players career, but

:43:23. > :43:30.for the Touray brothers it has been a traumatic time. They will stay

:43:31. > :43:34.despite the death of their younger brother. He died of cancer on

:43:35. > :43:54.Thursday and was only 28, and very difficult time for the family.

:43:55. > :44:01.Finding the focus for tonight 's game will not be easy. But the

:44:02. > :44:05.players know a win will guarantee qualification to the knockout stages

:44:06. > :44:09.for the first time. In Germany and South Africa they showed great

:44:10. > :44:13.promise in difficult groups. In Brazil they are evolving. They may

:44:14. > :44:17.still count on experience but are starting to look to the future to

:44:18. > :44:23.complement their vast array of talent. And there are not many more

:44:24. > :44:27.talented than Yaya Toure. The World Cup is very important for me and for

:44:28. > :44:32.my country, you have to do something for these people because I am

:44:33. > :44:35.fighting for them as well because I represent my country when I am

:44:36. > :44:48.playing in Europe and I represent the continent of Africa because I

:44:49. > :44:51.see myself as a proper African sun. Tonight's game is about much more

:44:52. > :44:58.than football, these players have a chance to make history.

:44:59. > :45:03.A real opportunity, Yaya Toure, one of the world's great footballers,

:45:04. > :45:09.difficult circumstances. He finished the season with injury, not had a

:45:10. > :45:13.fluid start of the World Cup. He has not been at his best, but he is a

:45:14. > :45:17.big game player, but he will be doing it for his brother, and his

:45:18. > :45:23.country, and I cannot see anything else but a win for the Ivory Coast.

:45:24. > :45:30.He is now the main man, Drogba's legs are not what they were. They

:45:31. > :45:32.should have too much for Greece. He is a wonderful footballer, I have

:45:33. > :45:37.played against him, he has everything he needs to take them to

:45:38. > :45:40.the next round. His brother in the team for the first time in the

:45:41. > :45:47.tournament? Did not have is best season for Liverpool, still as

:45:48. > :45:53.decent pace. Good experience. Such a tough game for them, or with the

:45:54. > :46:03.passing of their brother. They are a side who has flattered to deceive

:46:04. > :46:08.and the African cup of Nations -- in the African Cup of Nations. They

:46:09. > :46:20.have players who can perform at the highest level. Look at the four

:46:21. > :46:27.upfront, Drogba, Gervinho, Toure, that should be too much. Greece are

:46:28. > :46:34.looking to make a knockout for the first time in their history.

:46:35. > :46:38.These ecstatic scenes followed their 2004 European showmanship victory,

:46:39. > :46:46.on the world stage they fall somewhat short. They did not reach

:46:47. > :46:51.the World Cup until 1994, conceding ten goals, scoring one. Rewinding a

:46:52. > :46:59.few thousand years, they can be amongst the first to claim to play

:47:00. > :47:05.football. Their style of play is considered old-fashioned, facing

:47:06. > :47:10.their game on the defensive style favoured by their former coach. They

:47:11. > :47:18.do have goals and Kostas Mitroglou, but well celebrations such as in

:47:19. > :47:23.Athens, appear slim. This is the starting line-up,

:47:24. > :47:29.Karnezis in goal, playing all their qualifiers.

:47:30. > :47:38.The back four and changed, the Italians will look to you --

:47:39. > :47:55.attacked the left-back. Carried Yunis, the veteran comes in --

:47:56. > :48:02.carried Yunis. Salpingidis comes in meaning Samaras moved inside to

:48:03. > :48:16.centre forward. This is a side that has to have a go. I am not sure they

:48:17. > :48:20.have the talent to do that, we have seen them sitting. You can see

:48:21. > :48:28.defensively, they spend most of their time there. I know they played

:48:29. > :48:37.a lot of the game with ten men. They have to go out and give it one final

:48:38. > :48:41.go. Whether they can? I don't know. Samaras has had some good moments in

:48:42. > :48:46.his career. He is not a bad player in his day, but that day is not too

:48:47. > :48:51.often. Sometimes he flattered to deceive. Either the best of the

:48:52. > :49:02.worst, very rarely in the middle. No consistency. I think the Greeks have

:49:03. > :49:08.a problem, the game that I saw, they lacked urgency, they had no place or

:49:09. > :49:12.athleticism. They play to their strengths, that is the defence. They

:49:13. > :49:26.have no way to play apart from making a girl. -- nicking a goal.

:49:27. > :49:32.They do have a chance, that is more than England! Let's not discredit

:49:33. > :49:37.them. That is a good point. Let's see how the Ivory Coast line-up.

:49:38. > :49:50.They have the veteran in goal, his third World Cup. Didier Zokora is

:49:51. > :49:57.suspended. Serge Aurier set up both goals against Japan. Cheick Tiote

:49:58. > :50:02.one of the defensive midfielders. Gervinho has two goals in as many

:50:03. > :50:10.games, Yaya Toure yet to click. Salomon Kalou recalled. Drogba

:50:11. > :50:18.starts after the first two games on the bench. He scored at the 2006 and

:50:19. > :50:28.2010 World Cup. Surprisingly the star has been Gervinho. He had a

:50:29. > :50:33.fantastic start for Roma, in their unbeaten run, scored a fantastic

:50:34. > :50:35.goal in the last game. I do think the Arsenal fans saw the best of

:50:36. > :50:40.him, he has flourished in Italy. the Arsenal fans saw the best of

:50:41. > :50:46.him, he has flourished in Italy. He has made a good run there. Should do

:50:47. > :50:50.a lot better than that. His confidence is there, playing with

:50:51. > :51:00.more confidence, his end product is there. This is a good dribble. Maybe

:51:01. > :51:04.being a main man, rather than... Sometimes you see that with players,

:51:05. > :51:11.going where they are appreciated. What you see with players like

:51:12. > :51:14.Gervinho, like Bryan Ruiz, when they put their international shirt on,

:51:15. > :51:22.they get a lift, when England players do it, they seem to shrink.

:51:23. > :51:27.Gervinho becomes a better player. That is a great finish, did well to

:51:28. > :51:36.get there. To keep his balance as he did, get it on target. Very, very

:51:37. > :51:39.good finish. He could be the first African player to score in three

:51:40. > :51:46.consecutive games at the World Cup, quite an achievement. The two sides

:51:47. > :51:52.are coming out. Ivory Coast to win? I think the Ivory Coast will win.

:51:53. > :52:02.The Greeks have a good chance. Three in a row. What about Drogba, great

:52:03. > :52:08.to see him in the starting line-up? I thought Wilfried Bony was

:52:09. > :52:14.fantastic in the Premier League, but Drogba is then inspiration, the

:52:15. > :52:19.leader. In the Columbia game, he came on, the defenders, just with

:52:20. > :52:27.his presence, his stature, they dropped off. Even though he is

:52:28. > :52:32.similar to Bony, he has more respect from other players. Much more

:52:33. > :52:41.difficult to start. Karagounis whispering to the coach. It is his

:52:42. > :52:49.job to go out and tire them out. Creates spaces, go and finish them

:52:50. > :53:03.off. Toure breaking off Karagounis, that could be massive. A reminder

:53:04. > :53:10.the other match is on BBC Three. Your commentators are Martin Keown

:53:11. > :53:15.and Simon Brotherton. Two nations vying to reach the last

:53:16. > :53:20.16 for the first time, only Ivory Coast have their fate entirely in

:53:21. > :53:27.their hands. Win and they go through, Greece need Columbia to be

:53:28. > :53:45.Japan to make sure they go through if they win. No room for error now.

:58:52. > :58:56.Russia. Sabri Lamouchi, a former French international, he played at

:58:57. > :59:04.Euro 96 in England. This is his first tournament as a coach. Hard to

:59:05. > :59:07.see where the goals come for Greece, Mitroglou scored the goals in the

:59:08. > :59:13.play-off which secured their place in the finals. Wilfried Bony scored

:59:14. > :59:20.against Japan in their opening 2-1 win.

:59:21. > :59:24.Plenty on the line, a third successive exit at the group stage

:59:25. > :59:31.would be a sad and frustrating outcome for this so-called Ivorian

:59:32. > :59:35.golden generation, especially the Toure brothers in this week.

:59:36. > :59:41.The Ivory Coast playing in all green, Martin Keown is alongside me

:59:42. > :59:48.here. Drogba is the talking point, they go along to him. Can he turn up

:59:49. > :59:56.in this World Cup? A much better idea starting him, 36, you want to

:59:57. > :00:03.be starting games. Toure turned up less than fully fit at the start of

:00:04. > :00:08.the World Cup, suffering from malaria. In four Didier Zokora. He

:00:09. > :00:13.is suspended. Difficult for the Toure brothers, losing their brother

:00:14. > :00:19.shows you how dedicated they are to their country. Greece have stood out

:00:20. > :00:32.in this World Cup, a World Cup so full of goals, they have yet to find

:00:33. > :00:36.the back of the net. Looks as if Samaras is playing in a central role

:00:37. > :00:40.as we predicted. I have been crying out for him to play in that central

:00:41. > :00:44.role throughout the tournament and finally they have done it. It is

:00:45. > :00:50.unusual for him because Fernando Santos does tend to use him on the

:00:51. > :00:55.left. He has not find the back of the net since the quarterfinal at

:00:56. > :01:06.the Euros two years ago. Here Salpingidis. No Samaras. First touch

:01:07. > :01:13.were Karagounis, leaving it for Christodoulopoulos.

:01:14. > :01:23.Kolo Toure is therefore Ivory Coast. Decent start here for Greece but are

:01:24. > :01:28.comfortable catch for the experienced Boubacar Barry. Greece

:01:29. > :01:36.wanting to take the game to Ivory Coast straightaway. They had a lot

:01:37. > :01:40.of success playing a certain style for all those years, the current

:01:41. > :01:45.coach has said it has been hard to change the ethos of the team, saying

:01:46. > :01:50.they try to be more attacking but end up back at their old ways, the

:01:51. > :01:54.defensive strengths. You can understand it, they were so

:01:55. > :02:02.successful, Karagounis is the spirit of the team, he will be the driving

:02:03. > :02:10.force today. Sol Bamba playing at the back for Ivory Coast. Lovely

:02:11. > :02:17.turn by Tiote, the Newcastle player. Here is Salomon Kalou. Leaving

:02:18. > :02:24.Karagounis on the floor. Right across the face of the penalty area

:02:25. > :02:29.from Cheick Tiote. Drogba does not really react, should be going after

:02:30. > :02:37.that. Head in his hands. Early chance for him, good ball. Who would

:02:38. > :02:44.play up front for Ivory Coast really dominated their preparation.

:02:45. > :02:51.Alongside the trauma surrounding the death of Toure. Whether it would be

:02:52. > :02:56.Drogba upfront or whether Wilfried Bony of Swansea City would keep his

:02:57. > :03:01.place. Controversial decision to leave Drogba out for the first two

:03:02. > :03:08.games. Sol Bamba getting his boot in. Conceding a free kick. He is a

:03:09. > :03:17.no-nonsense defender I can tell you. Foot is about Haider. -- is a bit

:03:18. > :03:24.high there. He is about six foot four, six foot five. Returned from

:03:25. > :03:31.injury at just the right time, Sol Bamba. Only returned in the last

:03:32. > :03:40.month or so. What can Greece do with this? Torosidis with the plaster on

:03:41. > :03:53.his chin joining the attack. The ball does not reach

:03:54. > :04:03.Papastathopoulos, Drogba gets his head on it. Free kick Ivory Coast.

:04:04. > :04:08.Drogba, that is what he does excellently and we don't talk about

:04:09. > :04:09.it enough, how many centre forwards comeback and switch off? Not this

:04:10. > :04:40.fella. Die, one of the central midfield

:04:41. > :04:42.players, deeper the moment. Ivory Coast really pushing on. We were to

:04:43. > :04:58.pass. -- wee The referee team to let the game go

:04:59. > :05:05.on, Drogba gaining ground, first touch of the match for Gervinho on

:05:06. > :05:18.the far side. Salomon Kalou in the centre. It will be given as a goal

:05:19. > :05:21.kick. Gervinho almost tripped on it. Drogba wants him to isolate the

:05:22. > :05:28.full-back and he can get on the end of one of his crosses, but not this

:05:29. > :05:33.time. Drogba has had his injury problems recently but he is still

:05:34. > :05:37.banging in the goals in Turkey. 18 from 52 this season. He looks very

:05:38. > :05:59.sharp in these opening exchanges. Aurier safely seen that one out of

:06:00. > :06:03.play. Very promising young player, just 21 years old but has been

:06:04. > :06:07.playing first-team football in France for the last 4-mac seasons.

:06:08. > :06:32.-- four season. May need a little bit of treatment

:06:33. > :06:39.for 30 seconds or so. He is a bit angry that it is purely accidental.

:06:40. > :06:40.Fernando Santos will be heading on to pastures new after this

:06:41. > :06:57.tournament. Sabri Lamouchi, did well to keep his

:06:58. > :07:00.job after they went out in the quarterfinals of the African cup of

:07:01. > :07:05.Nations last year. Had the support of some of the key senior players,

:07:06. > :07:10.men like Didier Drogba who carry such influence. Not done well in the

:07:11. > :07:16.African Nations, this is a last chance saloon for Drogba. They have

:07:17. > :07:20.been labelled a golden generation for some time this group of players

:07:21. > :07:24.for Ivory Coast, but it has not quite happen for them and they have

:07:25. > :07:29.not coped terribly well in the big pressure matches. Looks to me like a

:07:30. > :07:34.different Ivory Coast in the early games of this competition so far. It

:07:35. > :07:43.is extremely warm here tonight so give them some sympathy. The Greeks

:07:44. > :07:48.will try to kill the game. Holebas does not start his career as a

:07:49. > :07:57.full-back so no surprise to see him Halep in forward at every

:07:58. > :08:01.opportunity. -- see him galloping. Nice touch, lovely combination,

:08:02. > :08:05.fluid football from Ivory Coast but Greece managed to survive. Good

:08:06. > :08:14.piece of defending by Kostas Manolas who got across. Beautiful play.

:08:15. > :08:21.Gervinho has got some pace. Just getting in his way. See him

:08:22. > :08:28.recovering there, good to see proper defending, protecting the ball. Out

:08:29. > :08:33.for a corner. Good move. First corner of the game goes to the

:08:34. > :08:36.African side. Plenty of bodies forward. Including Sol Bamba. Easily

:08:37. > :08:43.cleared away. Salomon Kalou, off the head of

:08:44. > :09:10.Papastathopoulos. Salomon Kalou apologising. He scored

:09:11. > :09:16.in the last minute of the play-off game against Senegal which secured

:09:17. > :09:19.the place for Ivory Coast at this World Cup. Not quite working for

:09:20. > :09:36.Gervinho this time. Injury in the centre of the field. It is planning

:09:37. > :09:50.to scorn who is down. -- it is Kone. That is a big blow. He is good on

:09:51. > :09:55.the ball. A few pockets of Greek supporters inside the stadium here.

:09:56. > :10:04.They are going to have to make a change early in this match. Just ten

:10:05. > :10:14.minutes played. Karagounis signalling that a substitution will

:10:15. > :10:24.be required. Kone on his feet. Let's see if he can carry on.

:10:25. > :10:36.I think the answer is probably not. Andreas Samaris looks like he's

:10:37. > :10:40.getting ready to come on for him. He will come on for his sixth cap, a

:10:41. > :10:49.well thought of 24-year-old midfielder. Won a starting place at

:10:50. > :10:53.Olympiacos this season. Good, athletic player, but still something

:10:54. > :11:00.is guilty of giving the ball away a little too often. Real frustration

:11:01. > :11:03.and disappointment for Kone. Nothing worse for a player, all the

:11:04. > :11:06.preparation and suddenly your hamstring goes, nothing you can do

:11:07. > :11:28.about it. It is your worst nightmare.

:11:29. > :11:36.Kostas Manolas with the ball forward.

:11:37. > :11:44.Cheick Tiote down looking for a free kick in front of the referee. A bit

:11:45. > :11:52.of space for Samaras. Interception made by Aurier.

:11:53. > :12:05.Such a powerful player, Yaya Toure. Awkward one as well, just a yard

:12:06. > :12:09.away from reaching Drogba. Quality, teasing ball into the area. Just

:12:10. > :12:16.cannot get Drogba onto the end of it. Drogba starts the move, showing

:12:17. > :12:20.his intent tonight, nice and sharp. We have seen one or two promising

:12:21. > :12:27.moves going forward from Ivory Coast so far.

:12:28. > :12:39.Another awkward one. Boubacar Barry did well to cling on under pressure.

:12:40. > :12:43.Excellent goalkeeping. Has not been a feature of this World Cup, but

:12:44. > :12:51.look at this from a teasing cross, bravery at the feet of the player.

:12:52. > :12:52.No fear at all. Brilliant. Love to see goalkeepers coming there,

:12:53. > :13:23.dictating. Salomon Kalou has been involved in a

:13:24. > :13:28.lot of the play in the early stages. He is coming in off the

:13:29. > :13:32.line, they are not fixed, they are coming in, Gervinho as well, Yaya

:13:33. > :13:39.Toure floating around, a lot of options.

:13:40. > :13:47.Return was just a little loose. Gervinho has just been a little bit

:13:48. > :14:07.sloppy at times, getting into good areas they're not making it count.

:14:08. > :14:14.Gervinho as Danny Murphy was saying looking to score for the third match

:14:15. > :14:19.in a row. No African player has managed to score in three games in a

:14:20. > :14:30.row at a World Cup before. Was just not able to steer his shot on

:14:31. > :14:34.target. Remember you can have your say on which team you think will

:14:35. > :14:42.join Columbia in the last 16 by voting on the BBC website. You can

:14:43. > :14:52.do that now. Who will it be? No goals here so far. Sol Bamba. Plenty

:14:53. > :14:56.of experience with Arthur Barker. Kolo Toure available, he had to

:14:57. > :15:04.stretch, did not make it. Greece trying to counter. Into the

:15:05. > :15:13.substitute. Laid off by Samaras, here is Salpingidis. Suddenly the

:15:14. > :15:20.Ivory Coast on the back foot. Far too heavily hit by Salpingidis. That

:15:21. > :15:26.was a bit wild. That came from a mistake by Bamba, that bit sloppy

:15:27. > :15:41.and his passing, needs to tighten up his game. -- a little bit sloppy in

:15:42. > :15:58.his passing. Launched forward, high and hopeful to Didier Drogba.

:15:59. > :16:05.Comfortable for canis -- Karnezis, he has gone down on his haunches,

:16:06. > :16:14.not sure what the problem is. Looks like game over. Is it a problem in

:16:15. > :16:18.his back? He was installed as the number one after the last European

:16:19. > :16:25.Championship. The only player to play in all of the qualifying

:16:26. > :16:30.matches. Now requiring treatment. They will not be in a rush to take

:16:31. > :16:35.him off. The sad to chew goalkeeper having a warm up. The other two

:16:36. > :16:48.goalkeepers only have four caps between them. They will try to

:16:49. > :16:55.encourage him to carry on. The game has not got going. All of the

:16:56. > :17:01.stoppages, players injured. The players taking some fluid on board.

:17:02. > :17:12.News of a goal in the other match being played, Colombia have a --

:17:13. > :17:37.already qualified, it has come via a penalty. One could -- quod. Cuadadro

:17:38. > :18:06.from the penalty spot. A lengthy treatment air the

:18:07. > :18:16.substitute goalkeeper had a great season with panic and I cost. Will

:18:17. > :18:22.he be able to continue? Looks like he will give it a go, the gloves

:18:23. > :18:26.going back on. An early opportunity for the players to take on some

:18:27. > :18:33.fluid. Scorchingly hot in Fortaleza during the day. Now at after five

:18:34. > :18:48.o'clock, it has cooled down a little bit. Much more tolerable. Karnezis

:18:49. > :18:52.looking like he's OK. He may well have a problem, nothing worse than a

:18:53. > :19:14.back injury. They are still warming the keeper up. That is get --

:19:15. > :19:20.Glykos. Areas Kostas Manolas. One of the Olympiacos players in the squad.

:19:21. > :19:27.Karagounis, a wily old pro, he has been around the block. He was

:19:28. > :19:33.involved in the European Championship in 2004, he and

:19:34. > :19:51.Katsouranis and the only surviving members in the squad. Problems for

:19:52. > :19:56.Serge Aurier. I have been impressed with him, good defending. Solid,

:19:57. > :20:03.efficient, he can get forward, he has put some good crosses in.

:20:04. > :20:14.Holebas had a tough time against Colombia, Japan also pushed the ball

:20:15. > :20:26.in that area in the second match. Not so good defending as he is

:20:27. > :20:49.getting forward. Holebas, to take the throw. Looking for Samaras. Die

:20:50. > :20:51.with a swing of the boot. Papastathopoulos has had an

:20:52. > :21:00.excellent first season with Borussia Dortmund. Toure is there, Serge

:21:01. > :21:04.Aurier helps it on. Ivory Coast need to press a little bit higher, test

:21:05. > :21:10.the Greeks a little bit, how good is their touch? They are in no hurry.

:21:11. > :21:21.Some promising signs when they broke forward, Arthur Barker in space.

:21:22. > :21:36.Gervinho bursting to the edge of the penalty area. Muscled out of it by

:21:37. > :21:46.the Greek defence. -- Boka. Drogba's touch into Kalou. Yaya

:21:47. > :21:51.Toure. Went a bit wide, Drogba. In the end, it goes for a goal kick.

:21:52. > :21:57.For a moment, the Ivory Coast looks like they may create a scoring

:21:58. > :22:02.opportunity. This is Yaya Toure's strength, but he overplays it. I

:22:03. > :22:10.wondered if he may pull the trigger himself. He lacks to pass, he should

:22:11. > :22:15.have shot. Too much on it. Drogba cannot reach those these days, not

:22:16. > :22:19.the pacey used to have. Midway through the first half, no goals,

:22:20. > :22:50.neither keeper forced into making a decent save. Canis Khan

:22:51. > :23:04.Karnezis coming off, Glykos is coming on. The biggest match of his

:23:05. > :23:07.career. Wow! It is about getting experience. He will certainly be

:23:08. > :23:15.under pressure, interesting to see how he handles it. Whether that will

:23:16. > :23:21.encourage Ivory Coast to shoot from distance, we have seen some shoddy

:23:22. > :23:25.goalkeeping in this tournament. Santos, the Greek coach almost out

:23:26. > :23:43.of options with three quarters of the match to go.

:23:44. > :23:55.Falling to Tiote, he is unable to pick out his team-mate, Salomon

:23:56. > :23:58.Kalou. Here is Samaras, close down quickly, a little over

:23:59. > :24:06.enthusiastically. I wonder how much time the referee will add on. It is

:24:07. > :24:13.really killed the game, the brakes. It has not got going at all, so far.

:24:14. > :24:22.Both teams have a lot to play for. Greece could still qualify. As well

:24:23. > :24:27.as Ivory Coast. In by Karagounis. They don't really look like they

:24:28. > :24:39.want to qualify, Greece. Up toward Salpingidis, he will not win an

:24:40. > :24:45.aerial jewel with Sol Bamba. -- duel.

:24:46. > :24:51.Difficult when you have players on yellow cards, and have made

:24:52. > :25:01.substitutions. Love is in the air Fortaleza. Serge Aurier, for the

:25:02. > :25:11.Ivory Coast. The path forward is blocked. Kolo Toure.

:25:12. > :25:18.Bamba does not know what to do with it. He has tried to give it a

:25:19. > :25:29.Drogba. A difficult ball for him to deal with. The World Cup has not

:25:30. > :25:33.been kind to Didier Drogba commie had a broken arm before the

:25:34. > :25:40.tournament in South Africa, four years ago, restricted to two

:25:41. > :25:47.half-hour appearances in these games here. He is an iconic figure in his

:25:48. > :25:55.country, around the world, you want to see the big players perform. He

:25:56. > :26:02.has been awesome at times. Playing on his own, playing like two men. A

:26:03. > :26:10.ball from Gervinho. Lovely touch from Samaras. Salpingidis going

:26:11. > :26:27.through the centre. Maniatis in space. Support on the far side will

:26:28. > :26:37.get the ball. Here is Torosidis. A squad player with Roma. This is

:26:38. > :26:43.better, the Greeks are trying to play some football. A little

:26:44. > :26:52.argument on the far side of the pitch, involving Serge Aurier. And I

:26:53. > :27:01.think, Holebas. Torosidis is down. Stopping play without the whistle.

:27:02. > :27:14.Gervinho stumbling into trouble. I think he has given it for the early

:27:15. > :27:19.for -- earlier foul. Robbie Savage was talking about the great start

:27:20. > :27:27.Gervinho made with Roma, playing for Rudi Garcia, the Kochi played within

:27:28. > :27:34.France. Seems to help his play, he has responded to that. Eden Hazard

:27:35. > :27:42.said Gervinho was one of the best players he ever played with. When it

:27:43. > :27:48.comes inside, he is an improving player. Maybe it was one that has

:27:49. > :28:03.got away from Arsene Wenger. First touch for Glykos. Papastathopoulos.

:28:04. > :28:18.Samaris, cannot keep the ball in play. A bit of rhythm there. The

:28:19. > :28:24.fans in good spirits, as it stands, their team will go through with

:28:25. > :28:42.Colombia. A timely stumble from Yaya Toure. -- and untimely. Salpingidis.

:28:43. > :29:10.A throw in to Greece. Papastathopoulos, winning his 50th

:29:11. > :29:17.cap tonight. Boka, only five feet, five, comfortable heading the ball

:29:18. > :29:21.away. Here is Salpingidis, who scored against Nigeria, the one win

:29:22. > :29:25.that Greece have enjoyed in their World Cup campaigns, this is their

:29:26. > :29:31.third one. Never managing to get out of the group. They need to get good

:29:32. > :29:50.delivery in these areas, Samaras is a big man.

:29:51. > :29:59.Karagounis sliding in and conceding the floor. Half an hour gone, the

:30:00. > :30:03.vote is closed on the team that you think will join Columbia in the last

:30:04. > :30:08.16. Result is and discussion coming up at half-time. Columbia beating

:30:09. > :30:23.Japan 1-0, Cuadrado with a penalty. have not seen Aurier are getting

:30:24. > :30:43.forward much so far. Kalou points to where he wants it

:30:44. > :30:49.and almost got it right where he wanted it. It was a timely

:30:50. > :30:54.interception by Torosidis. Lovely little ball in, just putting bend on

:30:55. > :31:04.it, so nearly gets to his runner. Good defending. Corner if I --

:31:05. > :31:07.corner for Ivory Coast here, into the last 15 minutes of this half.

:31:08. > :31:22.Yaya Toure across to take this one. Drogba right on the goalkeepers toes

:31:23. > :31:28.in the six yard box. It goes in towards the Ivorian captain, headed

:31:29. > :31:38.away, Cheick Tiote diving in. Comfortably cleared. Greece can

:31:39. > :31:48.Blake here now, -- break. It smacks the bar, Samaras down. An untimely

:31:49. > :31:57.trip. Greece denied the opening goal by the crossbar. Where did that come

:31:58. > :31:59.from? On the break. Just plays it into the channel, you think Kolo

:32:00. > :32:05.Toure is going to get there, thunderous effort. Watch Samaras

:32:06. > :32:11.here as he goes down inside the penalty area. As the ball comes back

:32:12. > :32:17.out, Samaras hitting the ground, Greece with an opportunity here,

:32:18. > :32:36.from just outside the penalty area. Almost out of nothing wasn't it?

:32:37. > :32:47.A big let off there, a warning. Can Greece now start to build up a head

:32:48. > :32:52.of steam? In the latter stages of the first half. They almost lull you

:32:53. > :33:07.into a false sense of security and then break with numbers. Yaya Toure

:33:08. > :33:10.still arguing with the referee. Holebas looks as if he fancies this.

:33:11. > :33:25.Karagounis there as well. Karagounis strikes it, Boubacar

:33:26. > :33:28.Barry right behind the ball. How about the goalkeepers positioning

:33:29. > :33:37.they are? It is right down his throat. Credit to him. Just

:33:38. > :33:47.concentrated, great handling. Very good, very smart keeping. He has got

:33:48. > :33:53.bags of experience, his eighth major tournament, his third World Cup,

:33:54. > :34:10.Boubacar Barry. It is a let off for Ivory Coast. Aurier. It was a dry

:34:11. > :34:17.heat during the day but the atmosphere is quite close now.

:34:18. > :34:25.Gervinho trying to get back at him. Torosidis does well. Tiote sliding

:34:26. > :34:29.in. Does so much work stopping the opposition before they can get to

:34:30. > :34:33.the back line. Drogba now setting Ivory Coast on their way but it

:34:34. > :34:59.breaks down as Kalou cannot put it into the stride of Yaya Toure.

:35:00. > :35:06.Playing at the World Cup really is an icing on the cake of the career

:35:07. > :35:18.of Karagounis. Odyssey does with the ball in, Salpingidis

:35:19. > :35:33.The Greeks looking a bit stronger. Gervinho for Ivory Coast, away from

:35:34. > :35:43.one but not from two. The challenge coming from Maniatis. Just not

:35:44. > :35:50.happening for Gervinho. Nine goals in Italy this season. Strong

:35:51. > :35:58.challenge thereby Drogba, it will be a yellow card. I feel sorry for

:35:59. > :36:02.Drogba because he has got his eyes completely fixed on the ball, you

:36:03. > :36:08.want the centre forward to backtrack for you. He may go off his feet,

:36:09. > :36:12.going with one foot there for me and he makes contact with the ball. I

:36:13. > :36:17.think it is the follow through which the referee sees. The referee is

:36:18. > :36:26.quite close to it. That could be costly. He was not one of the Ivory

:36:27. > :36:36.Coast players already on a booking, Sol Bamba and Cheick Tiote both are.

:36:37. > :37:12.Now joined by Didier Drogba. Maniatis.

:37:13. > :37:24.Ivory Coast taking too many touches. Keep shifting the opposition. Too

:37:25. > :37:29.slow, not the intensity that you need. I know it is hot here but you

:37:30. > :37:38.have got to get a grip of it, it is the same for both teams. Cheick

:37:39. > :37:46.Tiote unable to find Yaya Toure. The Greek substitute goalkeeper has not

:37:47. > :37:48.had much to do since coming on. The Greeks are very well organised, give

:37:49. > :38:05.them credit for what they do, hard to break down.

:38:06. > :38:11.First-time ball from Yaya Toure, Salomon Kalou trying to get in

:38:12. > :38:17.behind Holebas. I judged to have just caught the top of his boot

:38:18. > :38:24.there. Just hesitates for a moment. It is a free kick. Very soft

:38:25. > :38:28.though. As soon as you raise your food these days, free kick. -- your

:38:29. > :38:45.foot. Flashlights are around the stadium

:38:46. > :38:53.creating a very colourful scenes here off the pitch. Still awaiting

:38:54. > :38:59.the first goal of the game on it. This is barely training ground pace.

:39:00. > :39:16.I hope the referee is adding this time on.

:39:17. > :39:25.This is where they need the white players to come deeper. Two

:39:26. > :39:32.detached. -- the wide players. Nice touch into Salomon Kalou, it was a

:39:33. > :39:42.little too intricate. I can see the idea, but the execution was poor.

:39:43. > :39:57.Salomon Kalou able to run at Torosidis, Torosidis commits

:39:58. > :40:00.himself, did not quite fall for Gervinho. It was Holebas who made

:40:01. > :40:08.the challenge in the nick of time. The deflection coming off the

:40:09. > :40:18.substitute Andreas Samaris. Great defending in the end. Glycosylated

:40:19. > :40:22.very -- Glykos with a very comfortable save. Chance for Greece

:40:23. > :40:44.to push forward now. Having a look at this shot hitting

:40:45. > :40:56.the bar. Samaras just slips. It was some effort. Very unlucky.

:40:57. > :41:07.Agony for Greece as they look for their first goal here in Brazil.

:41:08. > :41:15.It was too short, here come Greece, Andreas Samaris the substitute with

:41:16. > :41:18.a great chance and he buries it! With half-time on the horizon Greece

:41:19. > :41:26.have their first goal at this World Cup. It is an awful mistake from

:41:27. > :41:35.Tiote, just a sloppy pass. Have only got themselves to blame. All credit

:41:36. > :41:44.to the Greeks, any mistakes they are on it in a flash. As things stand

:41:45. > :41:49.that could be a very big goal indeed because Greece are now in second

:41:50. > :41:52.place in the group. Columbia winning the group and Wellington night but

:41:53. > :42:00.because of this goal here now police are up into second place. -- Greece

:42:01. > :42:08.are. It is a mistake of their own making, the goalkeeper, he has got

:42:09. > :42:14.to stand up there. He is angry, he could have done better. Andreas

:42:15. > :42:18.Samaris off the bench earlier in the match and took his chance really

:42:19. > :42:26.well. Greece who had earlier hit the bar now have the lead. A real test

:42:27. > :42:33.of the metal of these Ivory Coast players. Will the Ivorian golden

:42:34. > :42:39.generation go out in the group stage of a World Cup for the third time in

:42:40. > :42:49.a role or can they fight back? -- in a row. This is a real wake-up call.

:42:50. > :43:04.Ivory Coast could be caught out again here.

:43:05. > :43:19.Great closing down there from the Greeks again, it is that turnover.

:43:20. > :43:31.Indications are that we are heading towards four minutes of added time,

:43:32. > :43:36.at least. Powerful stride, it is Yaya Toure in full flight, still

:43:37. > :43:43.going. The block does not quite spin the way of Salomon Kalou. Yaya

:43:44. > :43:48.Toure, Majestic, the little change of gear, power and pace, coming

:43:49. > :43:55.inside, presence of mind, just cannot get the power. If he could

:43:56. > :43:59.have lifted that one around the defender Edward have been a

:44:00. > :44:08.sensational goal. The goalkeeper was wrong-footed.

:44:09. > :44:20.Last few seconds of the opening 45 minutes. Down goes Salpingidis.

:44:21. > :44:22.Scored their first ever World Cup goal with that win over Nigeria and

:44:23. > :44:46.South Africa. -- in South Africa. Drogba saw that one out of play.

:44:47. > :44:50.Toure knowing possession. The Ivory Coast have been rocked back on their

:44:51. > :45:03.heels with that goal for Greece. They certainly are. Toure down the

:45:04. > :45:07.throat of the defence, but Papastathopoulos will gobble those

:45:08. > :45:17.up all day long. He is brilliant in the air, totally committed.

:45:18. > :45:31.A flick from Kalou, Drogba going for it. Seen away by Torosidis. You want

:45:32. > :45:39.the Ivory Coast to hold onto the ball better stop if it does not come

:45:40. > :45:47.off, it looks pretty poor. Off the head of Boka.

:45:48. > :45:57.A bit of backing in, well seen by the referee. Greece will no doubt

:45:58. > :46:02.take their time at the end of the first half. There is no team better

:46:03. > :46:07.at wasting time than the Greeks, they are so professional, know what

:46:08. > :46:09.they want to do. It is up to the Ivory Coast to go and press them.

:46:10. > :46:18.they are so professional, know what they want to do. It is up Greece

:46:19. > :46:23.edged out the Russia at the European Championships, they could do the

:46:24. > :46:29.same to the Ivory Coast in Japan. A couple of minutes of added time at

:46:30. > :46:33.the end of the first half remaining. Here is the mistake, looking at it

:46:34. > :46:39.from above, a calm finish, lifting it over the keeper. Sloppy play from

:46:40. > :46:51.Ivory Coast, leading to that, not for the first time tonight. Tiote,

:46:52. > :47:07.no care on the pass. Kolo Toure looks as if he has this one covered.

:47:08. > :47:12.Cut out by Papastathopoulos. A free kick given. A second goal in the

:47:13. > :47:18.match between Japan and Colombia. Colombia were ahead, but Japan have

:47:19. > :47:24.equalised. Right at the end of the first half. That means Colombia

:47:25. > :47:35.would still be topping the group, Greece still in second place. A free

:47:36. > :47:46.kick from Karagounis. That should be Barry's ball. As this first half

:47:47. > :47:51.meanders to its conclusion. Whatever happens elsewhere, the Ivory Coast

:47:52. > :47:59.need to get something out of this game. At the moment, the Ivory Coast

:48:00. > :48:13.one point behind Greece. Torosidis is. -- Torosidis out of play. Some

:48:14. > :48:18.good flicks, and touches from Gervinho, a tremendous run from

:48:19. > :48:23.Toure, but sporadic moments to enjoy from the Ivory Coast. They have not

:48:24. > :48:33.been able to build up their play in the normal manner. The referee blows

:48:34. > :48:36.up for the Delhi macro half-time. Greece 45 minutes away from making

:48:37. > :48:43.it to the knockout stages for the first time in their history. Andreas

:48:44. > :48:48.Samaris with the girl. In the 44th minute. Sloppy play from the Ivory

:48:49. > :48:54.Coast, he made them pay, a finish under Barry. Greece 1-0 Ivory Coast.

:48:55. > :49:00.Coast, he made them pay, a finish under Barry. Greece 1-0 Ivory Coast.

:49:01. > :49:04.Awfully tight in Group C, if the scores stay as they are, Colombia

:49:05. > :49:11.will win the group. Greece will go through in second place. Japan

:49:12. > :49:19.equalising before half-time. If Japan win, they would go through.

:49:20. > :49:24.Livening up towards the end? We needed something to liven it up.

:49:25. > :49:28.This is us saying how poor Greece were, at that Ivory Coast should

:49:29. > :49:34.have enough going forwards, but it has been roles reversed. Ivory Coast

:49:35. > :49:40.lacking invention, pace, guys not attacking the ball. They have given

:49:41. > :49:45.nothing to the game, Greece deserved to be ahead. It has gone exactly how

:49:46. > :49:51.Greece would like, very tight, and the elusive goal. They have dealt

:49:52. > :49:59.with setbacks, losing two players in the first art. One of the substance

:50:00. > :50:06.scored the goal. -- first half. I'm not sure what Tiote is doing. Do not

:50:07. > :50:12.take the risk before half-time. You could hook it around the corner.

:50:13. > :50:18.He's not the best ballplayer in the world. A really good finish, to be

:50:19. > :50:26.that calm, coming on as a sub. The keeper has gone down so early. In 30

:50:27. > :50:29.minutes we saw very little from the Greeks, but that breakaway when they

:50:30. > :50:35.hit the bar, that has changed things. It was the left-back,

:50:36. > :50:40.starting from the corner, he has run the whole length of the field.

:50:41. > :50:48.Missing the challenge. He thought, I'm against Toure, one-on-one. Poor

:50:49. > :50:54.defending a better great ball from Samaras. On his wrong foot, what a

:50:55. > :51:01.goal that would have been. A great strike. That was the warning sign.

:51:02. > :51:07.That is what you thought they might say, come on, we have a game on.

:51:08. > :51:13.They have played with such a lack of urgency. Yaya Toure, occasionally

:51:14. > :51:27.being involved. A couple of bits of play. Some skill. They have been

:51:28. > :51:38.poor. The eye you are -- Yaya has been poor. If he is in a City shirt

:51:39. > :51:50.there, yet that -- he gets that. He has two slide that one in. He looks

:51:51. > :51:55.a bit flat. They need him now. This was his best bits, power, pace,

:51:56. > :52:02.dribbling, cannot get it out of his feet. They will want to see more of

:52:03. > :52:06.that in the second half, they are out as it stands. They need the big

:52:07. > :52:13.boys to come to the party, he is the best they have got. They will have

:52:14. > :52:18.to have a go in the second half. They have got wide, good positions,

:52:19. > :52:25.a lack of attacking movement. We will show you a great example,

:52:26. > :52:32.complete lack of movement. Kalou and Drogba. These imposition, Kalou has

:52:33. > :52:42.to come around, spin around the back, or go to the new -- near post.

:52:43. > :52:51.You have to gamble, too late when the ball is coming in. Just as he is

:52:52. > :52:57.crossing it. A similar lack of aggressive movement at the other

:52:58. > :53:12.end. You have to gamble, going a split second earlier before the

:53:13. > :53:21.defender. Drogba's first start, he has not found life easy? You can

:53:22. > :53:27.probably see, in the first couple of games, Bony was justified. This is

:53:28. > :53:32.brilliant from him, we have seen that over the years, he's a monster

:53:33. > :53:37.in his own box. He has done a few things, chasing back, setting the

:53:38. > :53:49.play down the right. Trying to get into the box. He hasn't got that

:53:50. > :53:56.power and electricity. It is a big ask, to come back, defend set

:53:57. > :54:05.pieces, running back, to the front. At his age, had to do. They have

:54:06. > :54:11.Bony to come on. Our editor is a Chelsea fan, well done! Let's find

:54:12. > :54:16.out what has been happening in the other game in the group, Colombia

:54:17. > :54:22.against Japan watched by Mark Lawrenson and Jonathan Pearce.

:54:23. > :54:29.Colombia are already through. A great tournament for the Latin

:54:30. > :54:30.American sides. They will bring it away. Martinez looking for our

:54:31. > :54:46.masts. Penalty kick. He pleads his innocence, the referee

:54:47. > :54:51.blew immediately. It is a penalty all day long. The player is not

:54:52. > :54:55.going anywhere, away from goal, trying to get control of the ball.

:54:56. > :55:03.He did his job if he just stayed there. One of the most exciting

:55:04. > :55:15.players in this finals so far, one could Ray do -- Juan Cuadradro, he

:55:16. > :55:18.finishes it. Finish the season in brilliant fashion for Fiorentina,

:55:19. > :55:42.his first goal in this finals. Honda is the more senior the two.

:55:43. > :55:47.Around the wall, not bad at all. He was not convinced, the keeper that

:55:48. > :56:10.it was on target. You can see that by his dive. Now Honda, it has gone

:56:11. > :56:19.in. Kone. 1-1, the last effort of the first half. That has given Japan

:56:20. > :56:27.a lifeline. After Colombia had taken the lead with a penalty kick from

:56:28. > :56:33.four drive though. -- from Cuadrado.

:56:34. > :56:40.That is how you get in front of a defender. Age changes for Colombia.

:56:41. > :56:46.Greece could be the first team to progress despite scoring one goal

:56:47. > :56:56.since Poland in 1986. Greece's goal was their first in 5.5 hours of

:56:57. > :57:05.football. We ask you who you thought would qualify with Colombia? This is

:57:06. > :57:16.your answer. Ivory Coast, sexy 6%, that may change if you were voting

:57:17. > :57:33.now. -- 66%. Here is what is coming up tomorrow, four more games.

:57:34. > :58:28.Earlier today, England bowed out of the World Cup with a goal is true

:58:29. > :58:37.against Costa Rica. -- with a goalless draw.

:58:38. > :58:52.Glorious sunshine for England's not so glorious farewell. Wilshere to

:58:53. > :58:59.Sturridge, he is offside. What a save that is. Mastery of a football.

:59:00. > :59:20.The best the Bryan Ruiz. -- best. Letting fly. He has put it wide.

:59:21. > :59:24.Rooney, trying to chip the keeper. They were going home anyway, they

:59:25. > :59:31.are going home without a win to their name. Let's have a look at the

:59:32. > :59:33.group. Does not make great reading, unless you up Costa Rica and

:59:34. > :59:55.Uruguay. -- you are. For many people watching at home

:59:56. > :00:02.this evening there were not many reasons to be cheerful, what did you

:00:03. > :00:06.see? I don't know, I saw a performance that we dominated, a

:00:07. > :00:11.game that we dominated, a lot of goal chances created, nine players

:00:12. > :00:17.who had not played in the World Cup before. Disappointed that is the

:00:18. > :00:21.general judgement. Still the disappointment with the final ball,

:00:22. > :00:26.some of the younger players looked a bit of pace, like the disappointment

:00:27. > :00:31.had crippled them? I do not agree with that at all, cannot argue that

:00:32. > :00:35.we missed some passes in the final third and some goal chances but I

:00:36. > :00:39.did not see players off the pace, in fact quite the opposite, I saw a

:00:40. > :00:45.spirited performance from a team that had nothing to play for but did

:00:46. > :00:48.not give that impression. I think we played some good stuff at times and

:00:49. > :00:55.got our heads around it, we tried as best we could, on another day maybe

:00:56. > :00:59.we win the game. It is tough after preparing so well for a tournament,

:01:00. > :01:04.the first two games, you are out and then you try to lift yourself. The

:01:05. > :01:07.players who played today had not played, there was another incentive

:01:08. > :01:10.for us to try to prove to the manager that we are good enough and

:01:11. > :01:16.we want to be around at this level, I think we done well. It was always

:01:17. > :01:21.going to be difficult but we owed it to the fans, the supporters at home

:01:22. > :01:24.have been incredible. You saw at the end, the enormous support they have

:01:25. > :01:29.shown us throughout the tournament, it is immense and we cannot thank

:01:30. > :01:33.them enough. But we are out of the competition, the lads are devastated

:01:34. > :01:39.in that changing them. We have got to improve. Does this put you in any

:01:40. > :01:43.clearer state of mind as to where your own international future lies?

:01:44. > :01:49.It looks like England still need the older heads? I don't know, I said at

:01:50. > :01:54.the other day, I really enjoy it, it is a hard thing to let go when you

:01:55. > :02:00.love playing for your country, it is an amazing feeling. I will make a

:02:01. > :02:04.judgement when the dust settles. It is funny, you have to retire now

:02:05. > :02:16.rather than the manager doing it for you. In terms of young players, a

:02:17. > :02:19.lot of young talent coming through, it was always realistically going to

:02:20. > :02:23.be a bit early for most of those players and a bit late in the

:02:24. > :02:26.careers of others, but the expectations were low before the

:02:27. > :02:31.tournament so we could not really have expected too much more? But we

:02:32. > :02:35.expected more than what we got. I don't think we expected to win the

:02:36. > :02:43.tournament by any stretch of the imagination but I think we expected

:02:44. > :02:50.to get out the group. I don't think there is any great teams, are

:02:51. > :02:58.Uruguay and Kerry team? Costa Rica? -- a great team. I don't think so.

:02:59. > :03:05.This was like a preseason friendly, Costa Rica had already qualified.

:03:06. > :03:09.There are positive signs, young players who will now be given a

:03:10. > :03:13.chance, and young players who are not in the squad and will hopefully

:03:14. > :03:21.have time to get into the team and progress. Second-half about to kick

:03:22. > :03:28.off so we will have to cut short our England conversation, we will rejoin

:03:29. > :03:39.Martin Keown and Simon Brotherton. Ivory Coast currently heading home

:03:40. > :03:41.but there could easily be at West here or in the match between Japan

:03:42. > :03:59.and Colombia. -- be a twist. Block there by Sol Bamba, balls

:04:00. > :04:15.invitingly. The goalkeeper does not know much

:04:16. > :04:24.about this. Loops of the defender and fortunately goes wide. So many

:04:25. > :04:32.letters in his surname that he has his first name on his shirt. Lazaros

:04:33. > :04:35.Christodoulopoulos. A reminder that the coach had to make two changes

:04:36. > :04:41.early in the game so options are limited. The 37-year-old legs of

:04:42. > :04:51.Karagounis will have to go a bit longer. It goes behind for a corner.

:04:52. > :04:57.Good ball in, the goalkeeper does not get near it, good defending in

:04:58. > :05:07.the end. It is off the back of Cheick Tiote. As you suggest, Greece

:05:08. > :05:13.likely to take their time at every opportunity here. They are in no

:05:14. > :05:24.rush. There is no one better at winding the clock down. Drogba with

:05:25. > :05:27.the header away. Ivory Coast will need to keep their heads.

:05:28. > :05:41.Frustration could creep in the longer it goes. This man now has got

:05:42. > :05:49.to read from the front. -- lead. Drogba the furthest player forward

:05:50. > :05:52.on the field. The Right back from Toulouse trying to get clear of

:05:53. > :06:09.Holebas. Glykos under pressure from Drogba. Great ball in. You expect

:06:10. > :06:18.the centre forward, backside on the goalkeeper there, just letting him

:06:19. > :06:27.know. I would give that a free kick. Glykos, the substitute. Looking for

:06:28. > :06:35.Samaras but found the head of Kolo Toure.

:06:36. > :06:49.Nice tidy turn from Karagounis, away from the busy area and into space.

:06:50. > :06:53.Salpingidis was almost in there. Gervinho started the match brightly

:06:54. > :06:59.but drifted away. Yaya Toure stretching those long legs. Holebas

:07:00. > :07:11.with the challenge. No Gervinho. Tiote! Straight at Glykos. Good save

:07:12. > :07:18.from the goalkeeper, nice and solid. Good movement, good, for a shot.

:07:19. > :07:33.Would expect him to say that. -- save it.

:07:34. > :07:36.We are talking about the highest level here, you make a mistake and

:07:37. > :07:53.you get punished. Salomon Kalou heading to the byline,

:07:54. > :08:01.Glykos was going to have that. Half cleared.

:08:02. > :08:16.Strong running by Karagounis. Nobody in the middle at the moment. It

:08:17. > :08:25.fizzles out for Greece. Samaras is a willing runner but he has got to

:08:26. > :08:32.hold onto the ball. Grease a very solid defensively, certainly in

:08:33. > :08:40.qualifying. -- Greece very solid. More attacking thrust from Ivory

:08:41. > :08:50.Coast in the past few minutes. The Greeks have always got an extra man

:08:51. > :08:55.there. It is not necessarily the first offender, it is the second one

:08:56. > :09:05.which covers. Very well done by the Greeks at the back. They almost take

:09:06. > :09:11.it personally if someone goes past them. That is their nature. Columbia

:09:12. > :09:36.put free pass them on the first game. -- free past

:09:37. > :09:43.Drogba waits in the middle. Yaya Toure with the delivery. His brother

:09:44. > :09:55.is there as well by the penalty spot. Sol Bamba moving forward.

:09:56. > :10:06.Maniatis and Gervinho being watched closely by the referee.

:10:07. > :10:14.Glykos staying on his line. A chance for Greece to break. Andreas

:10:15. > :10:20.Samaris, the man who scored the goal. It will be a long chase on

:10:21. > :10:31.this side for Christodoulopoulos. That is unlikely. Grease on the

:10:32. > :10:42.break again. Always the fear that they could concede another one on

:10:43. > :10:48.the break, Ivory Coast. Yaya Toure. Coming a bit deeper, trying to mount

:10:49. > :10:53.these attacks. A lot on the shoulders of the big players in this

:10:54. > :10:57.side now, such an important second-half for them. Because of it

:10:58. > :11:05.stays like this they are going home. I wonder if they will stick with

:11:06. > :11:09.Drogba? Bony on the bench. Wilfried Bony did not have a touch inside the

:11:10. > :11:16.opposition penalty area in the whole time he was on the field in the last

:11:17. > :11:24.game, played for just over an hour. Very congested area, so many white

:11:25. > :11:42.shorts blocking the path. Working it into space. Pushing forward now,

:11:43. > :11:49.Christodoulopoulos. Chance there. Fantastic play, feints to shoot,

:11:50. > :11:59.comes inside, then sit with the outside of his right foot but does

:12:00. > :12:03.not have the ability. Christodoulopoulos has got himself

:12:04. > :12:08.into some great positions in this match. Now it is Gervinho with a

:12:09. > :12:11.little bit of space. Miss controlled which gave Papastathopoulos the

:12:12. > :12:17.chance to get back and make the challenge. Sees the danger, out he

:12:18. > :12:24.comes, gets his body across, job done. It is all about timing,

:12:25. > :12:29.getting there at the right time and staying on your feet.

:12:30. > :12:34.Papastathopoulos benefiting from an injury to one of his team-mates at

:12:35. > :12:37.Borussia Dortmund. Allowing him to become a key player for them in the

:12:38. > :13:08.past season. His first with the club. Having a good game tonight.

:13:09. > :13:16.Easy for Glykos. Neither a shot Norcross in the end they are from

:13:17. > :13:31.Drogba, the captain. Sabri Lamouchi will be considering

:13:32. > :13:33.what changes to make. If Yaya Toure is going to come deeper I would like

:13:34. > :13:39.to see the full-backs getting forward much more. Drogba feeds off

:13:40. > :13:48.crosses and he wants to see people reigning those balls. That is

:13:49. > :13:53.tenable ball away by Glykos, could open the for Ivory Coast. Salomon

:13:54. > :14:01.Kalou turning into Maniatis and it is pumped clear by Manolas. Foul

:14:02. > :14:08.spotted by the referee. Given away by Karagounis. Cheick Tiote takes it

:14:09. > :14:15.quickly. Drogba again tries to find Salomon Kalou and again excellent

:14:16. > :14:27.defending by Manolas. I cannot see it enough times, his body shape, his

:14:28. > :14:33.recovery, great defending. Look at that, United. Patting each other on

:14:34. > :14:43.the back. As good as scoring a goal for the defender that. In towards

:14:44. > :14:50.Glykos. Electing to punch the ball. Not quite kept in play.

:14:51. > :14:56.We will bring you news of a goal in the other match in just a moment. We

:14:57. > :15:12.will stay with the Ivory Coast attack here in Fortaleza.

:15:13. > :15:25.Tiote in space in the middle. Die cannot find him but he can find

:15:26. > :15:31.Aurier. Gervinho. Drogba lets it run. Cheick Tiote. Support on the

:15:32. > :15:35.far side from Yaya Toure. Five green shirts in the penalty area, the shot

:15:36. > :15:44.from Yaya Toure cleared by the Greek defence. Samaras wins it back. There

:15:45. > :15:49.has been a goal in the other match between Colombia and Japan. Colombia

:15:50. > :15:54.are back in front, the goal coming ten minutes into the second half,

:15:55. > :16:03.Jackson Martinez the player who has restored the Colombian lead.

:16:04. > :16:33.Meanwhile Greece have a free kick year. -- here.

:16:34. > :17:01.Samaras Samaras Daly tussling Samaras tussling there. That is a

:17:02. > :17:03.great save. Interestingly contrast, Greek players running into

:17:04. > :17:25.channels, the other end, Drogba doing nothing. Easy header away for

:17:26. > :17:40.Didier Drogba. This is Holebas. Samaris, the goal-scorer.

:17:41. > :17:47.It may take a little piece of magic, something special, some craft and

:17:48. > :17:53.guile from Ivory Coast to find a way through. The Greeks were too tough

:17:54. > :18:00.for Japan to break down even though they went down to ten men. We have

:18:01. > :18:04.seen Yaya Toure do it's only times for City, if anyone can do it, it it

:18:05. > :18:26.will be M. Drogba really not at the races. -- it will be him. A good

:18:27. > :18:37.touch from Tiote. Many artists was there -- Maniatis was there. Ivory

:18:38. > :18:49.Coast running out of time. Serge Aurier was there. Great play, the

:18:50. > :18:56.midfield player popping back. A clearance. Getting bodies back in.

:18:57. > :19:07.Wilfried Bony coming on for Ivory Coast. Replacing check Tiote. An

:19:08. > :19:15.attacking move by Sabri Lamouchi. Bony scoring in the opening match.

:19:16. > :19:24.On for the final 30 minutes. They are going for it. They have two. --

:19:25. > :19:46.have two. -- they have to go for it. Not one of Yaya Toure's better

:19:47. > :19:55.deliveries. This time they can't get there. A foul just outside the

:19:56. > :20:11.penalty area. A yellow card for Salomon Kalou. Kalou taking one for

:20:12. > :20:19.the team there. Fantastic break. Christodoulopoulos. Just trying to

:20:20. > :20:32.take it inside, delaying it for Samaras. A very promising break for

:20:33. > :20:36.Greece. The longer this game goes on, and the scoreline stays like

:20:37. > :20:47.this, the more space there will be for Greece on the counter. This is a

:20:48. > :20:55.great opportunity here. Looks like Karagounis.

:20:56. > :21:03.Everybody back behind the ball, bar Gervinho.

:21:04. > :21:14.Karagounis looks like he fancies this one. The wall was sorry at --

:21:15. > :21:30.solid as a rock. A few signs, with breakaways like

:21:31. > :21:42.the one moment ago... Straight at the wall. Nice and brave. At the

:21:43. > :21:47.scoreline stand, Greece going through to the last 16, by no means

:21:48. > :21:51.they yet though. Samaras just beaten by the bounce of the ball. Die,

:21:52. > :22:08.coming deep. Kolo Toure. Kalou. The Ivory Coast with plenty of

:22:09. > :22:23.creative players out there. Can they find a way through? Gervinho,

:22:24. > :22:27.passing it back. In by Toure. Maniatis has been invaluable in

:22:28. > :22:34.shielding his defence. Yaya Toure, no foul. Yet again Greece can break.

:22:35. > :22:45.Look at the space. Samaras is up there. Getting back there was Die.

:22:46. > :22:50.Impressive from the Greeks, they have willing runners on the break.

:22:51. > :22:57.The Ivory Coast are gambling, sending the full-backs further run.

:22:58. > :23:13.Huge spaces to run into. A first touch for Bony. Always going away

:23:14. > :23:18.from goal. Interesting hearing about Gomis having a medical at Swansea,

:23:19. > :23:25.would he be replacement for Bony? Or playing alongside him? Gervinho was

:23:26. > :23:33.better placed alongside him just there. He has come on, needs to keep

:23:34. > :23:45.his head. It is all right trying to grab the headlines, wait for the

:23:46. > :23:56.right opportunity. Boka. Greece are on the back foot, Salomon Kalou has

:23:57. > :24:02.the pasty test Torosidis. His touch has to be better there. The top

:24:03. > :24:17.players can control that, swivel and turn. 25 minutes away. The last 16

:24:18. > :24:30.for the first time. Greece need this result to go their way, and the one

:24:31. > :24:43.in the of a match, which it is. -- other match.

:24:44. > :24:59.Papastathopoulos stepping in, as he so often does. Yaya Toure, a bit of

:25:00. > :25:05.space for Die. Two available. This is what I'm talking about, moving

:25:06. > :25:09.the ball quickly. You kill the time for your team-mate if you don't need

:25:10. > :25:17.it quickly. This looks better. Curling wide of the post. Salomon

:25:18. > :25:23.Kalou. Look at that, just lifting it over the defender, coming inside,

:25:24. > :25:33.one thing on his mind, curling that into the corner. I'm lucky. -- that

:25:34. > :25:42.is unlucky. His goal-scoring record has been good since leaving

:25:43. > :25:52.Chelsea, playing with Lille in France, 30 goals in the last two

:25:53. > :25:57.seasons. Not forcing a save from Glykos, the substitute keeper,

:25:58. > :26:05.Greece making two substitutions because of injury in the first car.

:26:06. > :26:11.-- first half. All these changes, they were down to ten men in their

:26:12. > :26:19.second match. Look at the space, carried is letting fly. --

:26:20. > :26:26.Karagounis letting fly. A blockbuster of a shot. Fantastic

:26:27. > :26:32.effort. He has ballooned that. Karagounis, the old warhorse I'm

:26:33. > :26:42.lucky not to score. Here is Gervinho into Drogba. Bony cannot get the

:26:43. > :26:50.shouting. Great defending. -- shot in. Great defending by Maniatis.

:26:51. > :26:58.Here is the shot. A thunderous effort. The goalkeeper did not have

:26:59. > :27:01.a clue where it was. They are not afraid to shoot on the break. That

:27:02. > :27:14.is equally as important. He is the leader. A real driving

:27:15. > :27:20.force in midfield. The heartbeat of the team. A streetwise and canny

:27:21. > :27:30.operator. He will love the situation he finds himself in. His big thing

:27:31. > :27:34.is to stay out of the referee's notebook, he was suspended for the

:27:35. > :27:40.European champion ship final against Portugal, and the quarterfinal

:27:41. > :27:46.against Germany a couple of years back. His commitment and tenacity

:27:47. > :27:53.leading to him having his name taken. Here they come with Holly

:27:54. > :27:58.Bass. The full-back. Die doing everything he can to haul him back.

:27:59. > :28:08.The referee was trying to play the advantage, but he brings it back.

:28:09. > :28:12.Serey Die going into the notebook. The referee has played advantage,

:28:13. > :28:19.calling it back. Great play from the Greeks, the full-back flying

:28:20. > :28:27.forward. He just tripped him. Kolo Toure making a tackle. Look at that

:28:28. > :28:34.willingness and hunger. Determined to stay on his feet. We go into the

:28:35. > :28:42.last 20 minutes, Greece 20 minutes away from reaching the knockout

:28:43. > :28:45.stages for the first time. Karagounis rattled the bar a few

:28:46. > :28:57.minutes ago, he has a taste for it now.

:28:58. > :29:05.Cristiano Ronaldo did not have luck from that distance.

:29:06. > :29:13.Christodoulopoulos does not this time. A great effort. The goalkeeper

:29:14. > :29:25.ending up in the goal, no idea where it is going. Getting it up and down.

:29:26. > :29:30.Great technique. Christodoulopoulos brought into the side tonight, one

:29:31. > :29:35.of three changes. He should be starting.

:29:36. > :29:40.The Ivory Coast are labouring a little as they try and get back on

:29:41. > :29:58.level terms. The goal would put them in the box

:29:59. > :30:01.seat for qualification alongside Colombia. Serge Aurier up against

:30:02. > :30:10.Holly Bass. -- Holler Bass. Fantastic recovery and change of

:30:11. > :30:21.direction. Drogba has not had much Fantastic recovery and change of

:30:22. > :30:23.direction. Drogba has of old guard goal for a while has she? He has

:30:24. > :30:41.been very static tonight. The header goes wide from Sol Bamba.

:30:42. > :30:43.It is good movement. Right from the middle, to the near post, but cannot

:30:44. > :31:07.get his head wrapped around it. Here is Christodoulopoulos again.

:31:08. > :31:12.Kolo Toure with good defensive play. It will be after a win for Ivory

:31:13. > :31:20.Coast. He has picked that one up well the referee. Good, unfussy

:31:21. > :31:32.performance from the referee so far. Has to be said. Papastathopoulos

:31:33. > :31:41.makes sure. Thumping the ball away old style. Greece will not be

:31:42. > :31:47.uncomfortable in the sort of scenario will they? Might be

:31:48. > :31:52.uncomfortable now, it is Gervinho, it is Bony, it is 1-1, Ivory Coast

:31:53. > :32:03.right back in this one and right back the World Cup. Absolutely

:32:04. > :32:06.superb play. I call that could make all the difference because at the

:32:07. > :32:11.moment it is the goal which puts Ivory Coast into second place in the

:32:12. > :32:17.group and Wilfried Bony of Swansea City has come off the bench to score

:32:18. > :32:28.it. Give him a chance like that, great move, play it in behind,

:32:29. > :32:33.Gervinho plays it back into his path and he passes it into the back of

:32:34. > :32:41.the net. House poll is that? Simple but effective. -- how simple is

:32:42. > :32:46.that. The pendulum swings in the favour of Ivory Coast. Look what it

:32:47. > :33:09.means to the manager, he is buzzing. What a final 15 minutes we have got

:33:10. > :33:13.on our hands here now potentially. You how to say, the substitution,

:33:14. > :33:19.the extra striker on the pitch, the Greek defender sitting to deep, if

:33:20. > :33:20.you have got that much quality on the pitch you will eventually get

:33:21. > :33:39.through. The Greeks should not be downhearted

:33:40. > :33:43.here because there has been enough attacking play from them for them to

:33:44. > :33:48.feel they will get another chance between now and the end of the

:33:49. > :33:53.match. I have been really impressed with them, driven on by the captain

:33:54. > :34:07.Karagounis. He is not finished, don't worry about that. 59,095

:34:08. > :34:17.people in the stadium here. Can Greece strike back? Headed away by

:34:18. > :34:30.Drogba. Unsurprisingly an urgency about the play Boubacar here.

:34:31. > :34:53.Samaras waiting in the centre. Block. Space in the heart of

:34:54. > :35:05.midfield. Tension in the ear,

:35:06. > :35:14.Christodoulopoulos, not a good ball. -- in the air. Looks like we will

:35:15. > :35:26.have a stoppage in play for Drogba. He has done his groin has he? Just

:35:27. > :35:33.stretching. Greece preparing to make a change, Karagounis has done well

:35:34. > :35:38.tonight, unlucky not to score, hitting the bar in the second half.

:35:39. > :35:52.The record all-time appearance maker for Greece. Covered in this heat

:35:53. > :36:06.tonight. 138 caps. Get cast the striker -- get cast -- Theofanis

:36:07. > :36:13.Gekas. We will have a change made by Ivory Coast as well. Diamante

:36:14. > :36:21.preparing to come on. There was the equalising goal from Wilfried Bony.

:36:22. > :36:27.Didier Drogba substituted. Both teams replacing their captains here

:36:28. > :36:31.within the space of about a minute or so. Great reception from all

:36:32. > :36:39.around the stadium for one of the biggest names in the game. He is 36

:36:40. > :36:42.years of age, not his best evening in terms of performance but he will

:36:43. > :36:53.be delighted if his team can go on and get through to the next round.

:36:54. > :36:57.Ismael Diomande coming on, did not feature too much for his club side

:36:58. > :37:01.Saint-Etienne this season, missed a large part of the season through

:37:02. > :37:07.injury, and knee injury in the middle of the season which kept him

:37:08. > :37:11.out for quite some time. Just 21 years old and into the fray, into

:37:12. > :37:15.the white hot atmosphere of Fort laser with a place at the knockout

:37:16. > :37:22.stages in the World Cup at stake here. -- fought a laser -- fought a

:37:23. > :37:37.laser. This game has swung now. It is up to

:37:38. > :37:51.the Greeks now to try to win this game. Torosidis will take this one.

:37:52. > :37:59.It bounces away again of the frame of the goal. The near post this

:38:00. > :38:04.time. I am looking nervously at the goalkeeper, Barry. Wood at the

:38:05. > :38:15.position he takes up. He is a lucky man there - look at. Seem to get a

:38:16. > :38:23.little bit nervous Ivory Coast when they are in this position. Wipe down

:38:24. > :38:42.for Kalou on the near side. Samaras just lets it run, tries to

:38:43. > :38:50.play a 1-2 and is taken out. Kalou now back on the field. Suddenly they

:38:51. > :39:00.are smiling again. They wear a little quiet for a while, the Ivory

:39:01. > :39:09.Coast supporters in the stadium. The boys in blue and white not believing

:39:10. > :39:18.so much at the moment. Still time, inside the last ten minutes. Lazaros

:39:19. > :39:29.Christodoulopoulos. The referee deems that to be a foul. Looked good

:39:30. > :39:35.to me. Look at the space therefore Torosidis. Queueing up in the

:39:36. > :39:50.centre. Just too long. Good idea, just too much on it. Ivory Coast are

:39:51. > :39:58.making another change shortly. Giovanni Sio will be on. Meanwhile

:39:59. > :40:10.Boubacar Barry getting the game underway once again. As it stands,

:40:11. > :40:14.Colombia 2-1 up against Japan in the other match in this group, Colombia

:40:15. > :40:19.set to win the group, Ivory Coast nudging ahead of Greece with that

:40:20. > :40:29.equaliser. At the moment it is they who will finish in second place.

:40:30. > :40:40.Here is the change. The striker from Basel coming on. Did not really

:40:41. > :40:46.happen for him when he was playing in the Bundesliga but doing much

:40:47. > :40:54.better in the Swiss league. And Gervinho who scored in the opening

:40:55. > :41:02.two matches, not so much on it this game, flitted in and out of the

:41:03. > :41:11.match. Presence of mind to come back inside for the goal and put it in

:41:12. > :41:16.for Wilfried Bony. Japan are surely going home because Colombia have now

:41:17. > :41:32.extended their lead, Jackson Martinez has his second of the game.

:41:33. > :41:46.Big few minutes coming here. Christodoulopoulos lets it drop.

:41:47. > :41:48.Just wide of the post. Christodoulopoulos has got good

:41:49. > :42:00.ability from distance, not frightened to shoot. Looks up,

:42:01. > :42:05.thumps it, not this time however. He is having a good game here at the

:42:06. > :42:09.back end of his season, had the disappointment of being relegated

:42:10. > :42:12.with his club side in Italy this season, Bologna. But has been in

:42:13. > :42:36.good form here in Brazil it seems. Salomon Kalou. Queueing up inside

:42:37. > :42:42.the penalty area. It will be a corner kick. He had three other

:42:43. > :42:47.options in a good position. This game has turned on its head, this

:42:48. > :42:50.time it is Ivory Coast on the break. He has got to pick someone out, he

:42:51. > :43:01.is greedy they are, never going to score.

:43:02. > :43:11.Ivory Coast edging their way towards the last 16.

:43:12. > :43:24.Yaya Toure to take. Salomon Kalou going for it. In the end a

:43:25. > :43:38.comfortable stop for Glykos, and nice height.

:43:39. > :43:51.Five minutes for Greece to try and get a goal to turn the game around

:43:52. > :43:55.in their favour. Samaras looking for that first goal in two years for the

:43:56. > :43:58.national team, in towards him there but Kolo Toure was watching it all

:43:59. > :44:09.the way. Wilfried Bony back helping out. Free kick given for the

:44:10. > :44:16.challenge by Torosidis. The goalkeeper looking a bit shaky for

:44:17. > :44:17.Ivory Coast, and the Greeks ability to strike from distance, this game

:44:18. > :44:30.is far from over. Greece to turn it around and get out

:44:31. > :44:41.of this group. They haven't got much time to do it. Colombia heading for

:44:42. > :44:49.first place in the group, deservedly so, especially with key players

:44:50. > :45:01.missing. A shout for handball against Boka. Here is Maniatis,

:45:02. > :45:14.Salpingidis in a great position. So close. In inventive -- and

:45:15. > :45:27.inadvertent touch could have turned it in. He tries to get a foot on it,

:45:28. > :45:36.misses it. Lucky for him, he did. They are getting a bit panicky, a

:45:37. > :45:42.bit nerdy. -- nervy. He's praying, Drogba?

:45:43. > :45:54.That will be easy for Barry. Does not hang around getting rid of the

:45:55. > :46:04.ball. Arthur Boka, to Sio, not long on the field. He has plenty of zip,

:46:05. > :46:10.moving forward. Sio with space, but the flag is up. A free kick to

:46:11. > :46:19.Greece just outside their own penalty area. Well done to the

:46:20. > :46:29.linesman, but lovely through ball. Christodoulopoulos, Samaris. Serge

:46:30. > :46:44.Aurier tracking him down. Just getting a bit of luck with the

:46:45. > :46:49.ricochet. Well seen, again. Aurier a good player, have seen his name

:46:50. > :47:01.linked with Arsenal. Sagna is on his way, Arsenal will know about him.

:47:02. > :47:08.Holebas wanted to continue with the match. He has caught the eye as

:47:09. > :47:23.well. Had a much better time than playing against quite dry though the

:47:24. > :47:30.-- Cuadrado in the first game. No indication as to how much added time

:47:31. > :47:38.we are going to get. Smart play by Kalou, but penalised by the referee

:47:39. > :47:45.for handball. They could get punished for that. The Ivory Coast

:47:46. > :47:55.are not quite home and hosed just yet. Inside the last minute of

:47:56. > :48:01.regulation time. No wonder there is some sorting out to do for the

:48:02. > :48:07.referee. He will need eyes in the back of his head for the next few

:48:08. > :48:14.seconds. Papastathopoulos there. He wants that one. He always wants it.

:48:15. > :48:21.But the set players firmly away. Kalou does well, they're on the

:48:22. > :48:29.break. He has options. A real opportunity to put the match beyond

:48:30. > :48:37.doubt. Still there could be, but the shot comes in. No threat in the end.

:48:38. > :48:49.Just waiting and waiting, Yaya Toure. If he looks up, another

:48:50. > :48:54.player at the far post. Maniatis in all sorts of trouble. We are heading

:48:55. > :49:05.into injury time. The match is done and dusted, Colombia hitting their

:49:06. > :49:11.stride, leading Japan 4-1, James Rodriguez with the goal for

:49:12. > :49:19.Colombia. The Ivory Coast with defending to do. Holebas, drilling

:49:20. > :49:32.that in. Samaras down, they have got a penalty! A penalty to Greece. In

:49:33. > :49:39.added time. What drama! Sio, the player penalised. The referee from

:49:40. > :49:46.Ecuador right on the spot. Wow! Samaras goes to pull the trigger,

:49:47. > :49:57.Sio catching him from behind. Did Samaras catches own feet? He catches

:49:58. > :50:02.him. The outside of the left boot. My goodness me. You just have the

:50:03. > :50:11.feeling it was getting nervous for the Ivory Coast. Pressure on this

:50:12. > :50:21.man. 91.5 minutes played. The Ivory Coast had one foot in the last 16.

:50:22. > :50:27.It is all resting on the kick, right at the death, Georgia Samaras with

:50:28. > :50:38.the responsibility. Sio and his team-mates can only pray. This to

:50:39. > :50:47.decide the group. Who will finish in second place? Ivory Coast or will

:50:48. > :50:57.Greece snatch it. This is the game, right here... Boubacar Barry against

:50:58. > :51:03.a penalty taker, Georgia Samaras. Here we go, he has done it! Greece

:51:04. > :51:07.will go through to the knockout stages of the World Cup for the

:51:08. > :51:19.first time in their history. A historic victory is theirs. the

:51:20. > :51:24.Ivory Coast are heading out in the group stages for the third time in a

:51:25. > :51:31.row. Unbelievable. The pressure Samaras was under. Handled it

:51:32. > :51:37.beautifully. Great penalty. You cannot emphasise the pressure he was

:51:38. > :51:40.under. This is a player who has not scored since the quarterfinal of the

:51:41. > :51:50.European Championship, two years ago. A lovely contact, calm, just

:51:51. > :51:55.lifting it. Well done. The Ivory Coast are distraught, trying to get

:51:56. > :52:02.the game going, they cannot get the ball back again. You have to hand it

:52:03. > :52:06.to the Greeks. They do not know when they are beaten. The goalkeeper,

:52:07. > :52:18.Boubacar Barry sitting on the floor, even though the game is about

:52:19. > :52:26.to restart. Greece are now in second place. That is it. Ivory Coast have

:52:27. > :52:31.been beaten right at the last. A famous, famous victory for Greece,

:52:32. > :52:37.and George Samaras is the hero with a penalty in added time. You can

:52:38. > :52:45.hardly believe how that one turned out. Samaras keeping a cool head, so

:52:46. > :52:50.much resting on his shoulders at that moment. Ivory Coast,

:52:51. > :52:57.heartbroken, heading home after the group stages for the third World Cup

:52:58. > :53:01.in a row. Greece, who got to the knockout stages in the European

:53:02. > :53:05.jabbing chips two years ago, they were the un-fancy team in this

:53:06. > :53:15.group, they join Colombia in the last 16. The final score, Greece

:53:16. > :53:16.two, Ivory Coast, one. Absolutely nothing predictable about

:53:17. > :53:33.this World Cup. Extraordinary drama. Greece through to the last 16 for

:53:34. > :53:39.the first time in their history. A bitter defeat for the Ivory Coast.

:53:40. > :53:46.Japan also bowing out. The only team to win all three matches, Colombia.

:53:47. > :53:55.Extraordinary scenes, they cannot quite believe it themselves. Real

:53:56. > :54:03.drama at the end. Ivory Coast attacking, wasted opportunity, back

:54:04. > :54:08.came Greece, penalty. Alan? I thought Greece deserved to win the

:54:09. > :54:15.game. They showed more invention, created the better chances. We said

:54:16. > :54:23.beforehand, they struggle to score, couldn't defend? They were reluctant

:54:24. > :54:27.going forward, they got the goals they deserved. Time was running out.

:54:28. > :54:34.That was a pressure penalty, wasn't it? Lovely sportsmanship from the

:54:35. > :54:40.man he stuck the penalty away, the goalkeeper clearly distraught. They

:54:41. > :54:45.only have themselves to blame. They were flying forward, trying to get

:54:46. > :54:49.back in the game, leaving oceans of space for the Greeks. They should

:54:50. > :54:55.have scored more. What a penalty at a crucial point. I had seen him take

:54:56. > :55:01.a penalty in a Glasgow derby, he was cool them. I fancied him big-time.

:55:02. > :55:08.Look at these celebrations. I told you beforehand, we'll predicted

:55:09. > :55:13.Ivory Coast, but I fancied Greece. Moments before the penalty, Ivory

:55:14. > :55:25.Coast had a four 12-macro, take it into the corner. -- four on two. Do

:55:26. > :55:31.you think it was a penalty? Just. He just stopped Samaras getting to the

:55:32. > :55:43.ball. He was just about to pull the trigger. He has caught him. Stopping

:55:44. > :55:48.in getting to the ball. Just one of those things. You cannot, in the

:55:49. > :55:54.last minute of the game, give the referee the opportunity. Let him at

:55:55. > :56:01.the strike, see what he can do. Cool, calm, under massive pressure.

:56:02. > :56:10.Everybody is copying the Bale celebration! I do think anyone would

:56:11. > :56:14.have bettered on Costa Rica and Greece going through. Makes it more

:56:15. > :56:23.frustrating as an England fan. We could play Greece if we had won the

:56:24. > :56:29.group. We were a long way from that! I cannot be any more

:56:30. > :56:34.frustrated anyway. We might of had to play Colombia! We thought when

:56:35. > :56:42.Bony scored, that would have done it. We mention the poor defending.

:56:43. > :56:50.If you watch Papastathopoulos, he drops behind everybody else. Seven

:56:51. > :56:59.yards behind them. Who was that? Papastathopoulos! You said it then!

:57:00. > :57:04.He was five yards behind the other defenders. A good finish. All of us

:57:05. > :57:10.thought that was the Greek challenge gone. He is a goal-scorer.

:57:11. > :57:17.Combination. Coming off the bench, fresh. Different emotions at the end

:57:18. > :57:24.of the game. Lying on the floor. Let's have a look at the first goal.

:57:25. > :57:28.Just before half-time. Samaris. They had only scored two goals in all of

:57:29. > :57:37.their previous World Cups, now they have doubled their total. Tiote, he

:57:38. > :57:44.does not try to go forward, great interception, Samaris with a good

:57:45. > :57:49.finish. 23 substitutes have scored in this World Cup. Equalling the

:57:50. > :58:00.all-time record. We are still in the group stage. That was 2006. I was

:58:01. > :58:07.this attitude most of my life! You beat me to that one. They hit the

:58:08. > :58:23.crossbar twice, the Greeks. Karagounis. This is the excellent

:58:24. > :58:30.player, what a strike. -- former Fulham player. We have seen a lot of

:58:31. > :58:44.balls hitting the bar. Just that extra bit of movement. The Greeks

:58:45. > :58:47.had more chances to -- today than in the last four World Cups. We can

:58:48. > :58:53.show you how it is shaping up. Colombia are flying in this World

:58:54. > :59:08.Cup, the dark horses? Costa Rica or Greece will be in the

:59:09. > :59:13.quarterfinals. The thing that stands out is the South Americans. No

:59:14. > :59:21.European team has ever won the World Cup in South America.

:59:22. > :59:29.The big news story of the day, Luis Suarez appears to have taken a bite

:59:30. > :59:55.out of Italy's Giorgio Chiellini, in their 1-0 victory over Italy.

:59:56. > :00:04.anticipated, but you have heard what Giorgio Chiellini will think of it.

:00:05. > :00:17.Let's say the incident. Inexplicable really. The pictures are damning. He

:00:18. > :00:22.has a bite at him. We initially thought it was ahead but watching

:00:23. > :00:31.the game, it is his reaction as well. That is absolutely shocking.

:00:32. > :00:37.It doesn't take anything for him to do it, it is not like he has been

:00:38. > :00:43.provoked. You would understand if he had been smashed in the face. I have

:00:44. > :00:52.been handed a few quotes, he has spoken to the Uruguayan media. These

:00:53. > :00:58.things happen in the box, we were in contact, chest against shoulder and

:00:59. > :01:06.I got a knock to the eye. He went down holding his teeth! You don't

:01:07. > :01:10.expect him to come out. Now he would not, it is up to the far to have a

:01:11. > :01:22.look and if he is found guilty he needs a lengthy ban. -- up to

:01:23. > :01:27.England's World Cup is over and if this was a match that was supposed

:01:28. > :01:33.to give us reasons to be cheerful and hope for the future there were

:01:34. > :01:38.not too many in evidence today? I agree with Roy Hodgson, we had a

:01:39. > :01:41.little bit more control, we had three in midfield, we had more

:01:42. > :01:45.control in the game so we had more possession but we did not quite, we

:01:46. > :01:49.were out of the tournament and it was that kind of game, and end of

:01:50. > :01:54.season game with nothing to play for. Costa Rica came to have fun and

:01:55. > :02:00.that is what they had. Second-half got slow and we did not take our

:02:01. > :02:04.chances. England have problems scoring and that was evident today,

:02:05. > :02:08.Daniel Sturridge with some great chances, we see other countries only

:02:09. > :02:13.having two or three chances and they put them away, you cannot squander

:02:14. > :02:18.them this level? Yes, we have been having a go at the back four in the

:02:19. > :02:22.past couple of games, making slight mistakes and you get punished as a

:02:23. > :02:25.defender but for me the biggest learning point from this tournament

:02:26. > :02:29.is that we have created so many chances against Italy and Uruguay

:02:30. > :02:34.and here again today and we have not taken them. Daniel Sturridge

:02:35. > :02:37.probably thinks he has done OK but I think there were moments he could

:02:38. > :02:42.have won the game against Italy and Uruguay. That little bit extra is

:02:43. > :02:45.what I think we need from the strikers which will get us further

:02:46. > :02:51.in these tournaments. Their main bits of improvement are in the

:02:52. > :02:56.attacking play. Roy Hodgson sees positive in nine players who had

:02:57. > :03:00.never played in a World Cup getting experience, but does this

:03:01. > :03:03.performance indicates more than ever that the likes of Steven Gerrard and

:03:04. > :03:09.Frank Lampard me to stick around to bridge the gap? I think one of them

:03:10. > :03:13.definitely needs to, we need to use them sparingly and when we can, but

:03:14. > :03:16.we saw glimpses from the younger players but we also saw with ten

:03:17. > :03:21.minutes to go Wayne Rooney coming on, Steven Gerrard coming on, which

:03:22. > :03:26.says you still need the best players, the experienced players to

:03:27. > :03:31.help the young players. The other game was of course Colombia versus

:03:32. > :03:42.Japan, let's have a look at the second goals from Colombia. Jackson

:03:43. > :03:49.Martinez isn't it. It is James Rodriguez making the goal. They have

:03:50. > :03:54.done exceptionally well, missing Radamel Falcao but everyone is

:03:55. > :04:00.stepping up to the plate. They are playing with fluency, so attack

:04:01. > :04:06.minded. How good is that? The little dummy. He has scored a lot of goals

:04:07. > :04:13.this season in Portugal, I think you can see the confidence. Colombia are

:04:14. > :04:18.really impressive. Brilliant and that is, really outstanding. Huge

:04:19. > :04:29.support here as well, terrific backing. We have seen a lot of

:04:30. > :04:35.this. They are a pleasure to watch. 4-mac key players, including Radamel

:04:36. > :04:44.Falcao. We can hear from the man who scored the penalty at the death.

:04:45. > :04:47.Many congratulations, I can see the emotion draining from you as you

:04:48. > :04:59.hobbled into the interview area, can you sum them up? I think... We

:05:00. > :05:11.controlled the game most of the time, created a lot of chances. Hit

:05:12. > :05:21.the post three times. They scored a goal. We tried the last 15, 20

:05:22. > :05:34.minutes INAUDIBLE . We did everything we had. We are

:05:35. > :05:46.really proud of our achievements. Really proud for ourselves. I

:05:47. > :05:59.hope... The players coming in and still celebrating. Great stuff. The

:06:00. > :06:02.goal from Wilfried Bony was the 23rd equalling the record scored by

:06:03. > :06:07.substitutes, but the goal from Martinez in the other game was 24

:06:08. > :06:36.saw the record was broken. Tomorrow France take on Ecuador.

:06:37. > :06:57.France have been very exciting indeed and we look forward to that.

:06:58. > :07:01.Thank you Allen, Danny and Robbie. That is it from us on the day that

:07:02. > :07:13.England is it from us on the day that England's home. From all of us

:07:14. > :07:26.here, good night. We are hurting. Not a great feeling to go out.

:07:27. > :07:37.Mario Balotelli is the matchwinner. Results decide everything. And both

:07:38. > :07:38.results have been negative. One of the simplest goals you will ever

:07:39. > :08:07.see. They are going home without a win to

:08:08. > :08:24.their name. If you were there,

:08:25. > :08:26.you'll all get done for murder. We don't have to prove

:08:27. > :08:29.who used a knife any more.
