Preview: Group G - Sons of Beaches

Brazil - Portugal - Cote D'Iviore - PDR Korea

This is going to be a popular group for those who like to admire bulging biceps, muscular thighs and men of a darker complexion. And with North Korea in the group, it might also prove popular for those who enjoy gratuitous displays of military strength. Speaking of concealed missiles check this out.

Ah, God bless YouTube! Providing material for struggling bloggers since 2003.

This group poses plenty of questions though. Just who will progress? Will it be a goal-fest? Will Drogba play? How many times will Ronaldo cry?

But the question I really want answered is why the Ivory Coast are listed in all official FIFA channels as Cote d'Iviore?

Some have suggested it is because that is how they refer to themselves. That may be so, but then why are we not "Ostraya"? Why are the US not listed as "Defenders of the Democratic West" and why are England not listed as "Those F**king Useless Overpaid C**ts!"

Why indeed.
