Group G

  • Ivory Coast 1-2 Portugal
  • Brazil 4-0 North Korea
  • Brazil 2-2 Ivory Coast
  • Portugal 3-1 North Korea
  • North Korea 0-3 Ivory Coast
  • Portugal 1-2 Brazil
The presence of Cristiano Ronaldo and the absence of Didier Drogba make the difference, as a late bit of brilliance from the much-maligned world's highest-paid footballer in the opening match provides the margin to send Portugal through after Brazil.
