I please ask for the forgiving of Ivory Coast people or fans in advance...or every other african football fan. But I don't know if it's just me...did you notice that EVERYTIME an african team gets some spot they become the most arrogant asses in the planet?
Ivory Coast's atitude yesterday wasn't basicly too diferent of Nigeria '98. Oh man, those guys were really faces to punch. After the incredible win over Spain they felt like they were the biggest thing on earth. And the fact that Pele claimed that the next Pele would come from Africa didn't help much in their construction of a more modest, centered (and necessary since their game needed more calm and ponderation on the pitch) personality, in the contrary.
Eto'o, Okocha...I could come with a long list of truly snob african players here. And I could focus on Droga, because...well, he really thinks he's the thing. But the ENTIRE Ivory Coast team is just so mean and nasty. And their attitude at the end of the game, trying to take brazilian key players with them as they had to risk to be sent off...that's typical for argentine players, when they're losing to Brazil. But it's ok for them, it's their modus operandi, they're Brazil's rivals. However, these guys really thought they could face Brazil, they could match up with Brazil! They thought they were playing a classic!
I always eager to watch an african team play in a WC but I never desired so badly that an african team get its ass kicked like I. Coast in this Cup. I'd love to see their supreme humiliation by getting beaten by Korea, but unfortunately it's just a wishful thinking.
