    11:10 15Jun10 Soccer-World-Drogba can play in protective cast v Portugal-FIFA

    JOHANNESBURG, June 15 - A protective cast for Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba to play in Tuesday's World Cup Group G match against Portugal has been approved by the referee and the Portuguese, FIFA said.

    It had been assumed that Drogba, who fractured his forearm just before the finals started on June 11, would miss the match but on Monday Ivory Coast coach Sven-Goran Eriksson said he would leave it to Drogba to decide if he was fit enough.

    I would have thought Spain fitted that description nicely.

    They are one of the better teams, & they do have some strength. However I feel they have weaknesses defensively, & aren't as good as they were at the euros 2 years ago...
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    hahaha you do make me laugh Jelly.

    they have one of the best keepers in the world.
    and they have the two centre halfs from a team that conceded the least number of goals in the spanish league.

    plus a good sergio ramos and capdevilla who were in the euros last time round and are playing well.

    not the best the best defensively :) you are funny....
