The most interesting game of this day is, without a doubt, the game between Holland and Netherlands.

Ivory Coast needs to win to keep their hopes up and Netherlands doesn’t afford to lose, seeing they will play Argentina in the final game of the round.

The duel everybody will watch
Arjen Robben - Didier Drogba: The two Chelsea forwards know each other inside-out and together they have terrorised defences the length and breadth of England. Both men fired in their teams’ only goal in the first round of games, Robben shooting past Serbia and Montenegro’s goalkeeper after racing clear of the defence and Drogba hovering around the penalty spot to connect his left foot to Bakary Kone’s cutback. They are sure to be the players to watch once again as the race for the adidas Golden Boot hots up.

What they think
John Heitinga (NED): The game against Côte d’Ivoire is going to be difficult, but we know what to expect. They’ve got good forwards, especially Drogba, who’s a fearsome opponent. I thought they just lacked a bit of luck against Argentina and we know they’ll be raring to have a go at us.
Henri Michel (CIV): A World Cup is never going to be a walk in the park. We’ve got two matches left and it’ll be interesting to see how we carry ourselves against the Dutch. We really hope to play a great game, though. We’re not done yet.
