The last game on the 2010 World Cup schedule for Sunday will feature Brazil vs Ivory Coast in the Group G bracket at 2:30pm EST (20:30). Slovakia vs Paraguay start Group F action at 7:30am EST (13:30) followed by Italy vs New Zealand at 10:00am EST (16:00). Online bookmakers have Brazil -140 money line favorites in FIFA World Cup picks vs the Ivory Coast +425 while a draw would pay out +240. Brazil are also -1/2 goal (-140) betting favorites in point-spread soccer betting odds vs Cte d'Ivoire +1/2 goal (+120) with the over/under total sitting at 2.5 UNDER (-140).
The Brazil vs Ivory Coast match should prove who will have the better chance to qualify from Group G as Seleo currently sits in first with 3-points and 2 goals while Cte d'Ivoire are in second with 1-point and zero goals tied with Portugal. Brazilian fans were happy to see a 2-1 win over the Korea DPR in their opening round match but know Kaka and Robinho will need an inspired performance against the Ivory Coast led by Didier Drogba. "We know Drogba and we know his quality, but we can't pay too much attention to one player, we have to look at the whole side," said manager Dunga this week. Bet Brazil -140 as favorites in FIFA World Cup picks vs Ivory Coast with up to a $250 bonus and free team jersey.
The hopes and dreams of Cte d'Ivoire rest squarely on the shoulders and the recovering fractured arm of Drogba today. The Chelsea star has netted 44-goals in 52 matches during the season for the Premier League and will look to give the Ivory Coast 3-points against a talented Brazilian squad. "I forgot about my injury and the pain," said Drogba this week. "I'm afraid of nothing and I feel really good both physically and mentally. I'm happy to be here and playing football." The Ivory Coast will need to free up Drogba and continue to attack if they are to have any chance today vs Seleo but unfortunately that leaves open field that Brazil loves to exploit.

Brazil just has too many talented players on all corners of the pitch while the Elephants have Drogba and Salomon Kalou to name a few. The Ivory Coast will play a tough, physical game which should make for a great match to close Sunday's action but I expect a 2-1 victory for Brazil vs Ivory Coast or possibly a 1-1 draw.
