Is Drogba going to be able to even play normally though. I wish they had a picture of him in this cast so we could see what he is going to look like

You can be sure the bookies knew this before the Telegraph article.

portugal will neutralize drogba's threat imo

[Smogs]

Unless you like Portugal, wait a little bit.

I lean over

[suckerforparlays]

is he gonna be able to run with 1 fking arm lol. I sure as hell no I couldnt run with 1 arm

[phenomenon]

it is good for Ivory ,ok , but don t forget, will he play with good form with a broken arm ?
it is crucial question, coz if not Ivory will play 10 men ...

[MarlinsFan2212]

I like Ivory Coast ML.

[Thomas_Garber]

him playing with that arm is not going to improve the chances of ivory win. if he plays he probably will get subbed before the end of 2nd half.

[TeamTT]

Is he confirmed to play? I heard he was out...

Guys, you talk only about Drogba, Drogba and again Drogba. I don't say that his probable absence won't be missed by the team but don't forget that Eriksson still has a very solid attack line.

Drogba is central att, if he will miss Gervinho and Dindane will take his place. And as wingers they will have Kalou and Gervinho/Dindane. Doesn't sound like a great attack line to you ? them all have speed and enough quality.

And what about Toure brothers ? Kolo Centre Back, Yaya as defensive midfielder together with Didier Zokora. And there are many other stars like Eboue, Keita, Romaric, Doumbia who had great season in Switzerland at Young Boys and scored 50 goals in 64 apparences.

Cote d'ivoire has enough quality not to lose against Portugal on African soil.

[Josu]

That's one stubborn guy. I like him.

[thespeculator]

I agree, don't over react ... anyway I expect to see the BEST game of the up so far, but if I had to pick a side I would most defiantly go with Portugal. My bet on this game is OVER for the corners I expect a very offensive game.

[Duby]

Over 2 +103 at Pinny is good value in IMO!

[Powderguy]

He won't start

[RubberKettle]

Drogba on the bench...

[spartangreen]

he is not starting
